Piano with Lesley D.

UNOFFICIAL BIO: As long as I can remember, I have played music in one form or the other. I think I started singing before I could actually talk. By the age of 5 I had my first guitar and piano. By then I knew music would be a huge part of my life. It is my favorite language. It is universal. I love to teach those just starting out in music...especially children. Tapping in on a child's natural talent for the first time is an amazing thing to witness. OFFICIAL BIO: Lesley is a singer/songwriter based out of Atlanta, GA. She hit the music scene in the early 80's in Miami, Fl. and signed on with TCA management in the 90's where she toured with the company's other two bands, Marilyn Manson and The Mavericks (yes, what an eclectic combination!) She later joined ex- Saigon Kick member Robbie Gennett in his band. A few years later she moved to Atlanta and formed her own band called Lester's Farm. The band played to packed audiences in Atlanta, and received GREAT reviews on their single, "BAD". Now she is busy passing along her musical knowledge to those who are interested, and runs a recording studio in her spare time. *** Lesson Details *** Lesley enjoys teaching the younger students, from 5 years old to late teens. Her experience as a pre-k music teacher has given her a deep insight to how different each individual is in their musical capabilities, and she uses that to build confidence and enjoyment in each lesson. She is a patient, fun, thorough, flexible, and imaginative teacher. She teaches most musical genres, from classical, to musical theater, to jazz, to pop. She can prepare your child for upcoming auditions (musical or theatrical) and her years as a performer provide valuable insight into the entertainment industry. *** Travel Equipment *** I prefer my students have their own equipment though i do provide instruments when necessary. *** Specialties *** Music, Beginning Guitar, Piano and Voice I teach using basic music theory...all my students learn to read music!
