    About Dillon S.

    (38)
    Hello and welcome to my teacher profile! My name is Dillon S. I am a music and art teacher, and I have earned my Associate's degree in Music Education at MDC with a focus on jazz guitar. I have a diverse experience in different genres of music (rock, pop, punk/metal, jazz, praise & worship/gospel, and others). I have also sung and played guitar, drums, and bass in numerous bands throughout the years (most recently, drummer/percussionist in folk-rock band The Fortune Tellers in Miami, FL). I have always had a deep love for art, and am currently working on my Bachelor of Science in K-12 Art Education. I have a particular interest in figure drawing/portraiture (charcoal, graphite, India ink), landscape and still life painting (acrylic and oil paint), and both digital and film photography. I am hoping to improve my teaching skills through this platform and impart knowledge onto others. I am laid-back and a kid at heart, and I find it important to teach with a sense of humor. For the record, I'm also a huge geek. I enjoy video games, superheroes, sci-fi, fantasy, animals (I have two cats), board games, cartoons/anime, technology/science... I also love traveling! If you're into something, feel free to talk to me about it, I love getting to know what you're passionate about!

    Dillon was unprepared for our lesson in almost every way. We didn’t review what I already knew, didn’t establish goals, didn’t have a lesson plan in place, or a plan for future lessons. He asked me what I wanted to work on and showed me a few strum patterns and that was it. I was hoping for this to be the beginning of a set to lessons to improve proficiency but was very disappointed.

    Had our first lesson with Dillon. His kind, friendly nature put my daughter at ease. She learned quite a bit about her ukulele and is excited to practice!!
