    I'm excited to get to work with you! I have been playing piano since I was 14. I am also classically trained singer. I want to make sure I can teach you everything you want to learn about music and how to perform! Music isn't just about fundamentals, it's about FUN! See and learn more about me on my website http://www.garrickvaughan.com *** Lesson Details *** I have 3 rules to lessons. 1) Take your time. I know you want to be a star tomorrow but that takes time! I'll make sure you have all the skills you need to do it. 2) Practice makes perfect. It's important because everything you learn will apply to what you want to do with music. 3) Have fun! As cliche as that sounds, it's the most important rule. If you're not having fun with music then it takes away the joy of learning. I look forward to teaching you soon! *** Studio Equipment *** Practice Room: Weighted key piano Church: Weighted key keyboard. *** Specialties *** I specialize in Jazz and Gospel Piano. My vocal repertoire ranges from Baroque to Contemporary Classical, Jazz, Popula Music and Musical Theatre

    Garrick is a wonderful teacher, he is very patient, he teaches in the most simplified way so I can understand as a beginner. I highly recommend him.

    Garrick is truly amazing. He really simplified things for me as an adult learner. I had always had raw talent, but he really helped me with breath control and harmony - things I never learned as a child. His theatre background also really helped me with performance techniques. He showed me what to do with my face, hands, body to truly emote the message of my songs. He is truly anointed :)

    Garrick is a wonderful singer and a terrific person. He is a highly trained and dedicated professional with the talent and ease of a natural musician. His vitality and engaging manner bring music to life! I give him my highest recommendation as both a performer and teacher.
