Take Lessons

I've been teaching online lessons for a solid 5 years, and I've been doing private lessons for a whopping 14 years! Let me tell you, it was quite a learning curve to adapt to teaching online. But you know what? I embraced it! I discovered that I needed a whole bunch of props and had to bring out my inner performer to keep things lively. And you know what? I absolutely adore teaching online! It gives me the flexibility to enjoy my mornings, teach my heart out, and still have quality time with my family. Seriously, without this online platform, it would be a major struggle for me to continue teaching because those studios just don't open in the mornings. Sure, I teach in the evenings too, but I like to keep my weekends all to myself. It's just the perfect balance if you ask me!

I started teaching violin, viola, cello, and double bass in 2009. I taught in many music schools in Georgia including; Gwinnett School of Music, Music, and Arts, Jackson’s Music, and the Fine Arts Academy at Douglasville 1st United Methodist Church. During this time I also taught 4 elementary after school programs with Music Matters After School along with a community orchestra with Douglasville 1st United Methodist Church on the weekend for children and adults. I also taught general music at Destiny Christian Academy where I also taught art to preschool and elementary kids. Also, I helped with 2 summer camps, music camp - where I taught the violin class and arts camp, for the Fine Arts Academy with Douglasville 1st United Methodist Church.

Head Start is a certification I received while working with a private school for teaching young children. It was a great certification to help teach and recognize many aspects of child development.
