Music Lessons in Taylors, SC. It's your time.

All of my students are successful.

I'm a great teacher for young children! I've played the violin for over 10 years and have taught professionally at a music school back home in NY. I've worked a ton with kids, from being a pre-school aid to baby-sitting special needs kids, so I am very good at keeping lessons fun and interactive. Even though I don't play professionally now, growing up with music and having orchestra class be a safe space to express myself was so impactful in shaping the adult I have become. The violin is an amazing instrument to learn and I hope I can spark enthusiasm in your child and inspire them to stay with it as they grow.

Composition students:

I am accepting students who have demonstrated understanding of music notation, music fundamentals, chord spellings. I require students to upload improved scores weekly.

If you are interested in a music fundamentals course in order to qualify for composition lessons, please let me know.

Similarly, my composition lessons are different than MIDI sequencing, or digital audio workshop lessons. Should you wish to learn MIDI and how to digitally record and mix, please me know.

I am an emotive cellist with two decades experience. I have toured internationally performing my original works including London, Paris, and Berlin. As a member of the Pierce Quartet I regularly arrange and perform music for weddings and other special occasions. I love sharing classical music with all levels of students. Lessons with me are calm, meditative experiences where we use peaceful techniques to enter into the heart of music.

I teach all age, all level. I focus on scales, etudes, and short pieces that makes playing more enjoyable.

My approach to music theory is that it should be learned by doing - being told what an Italian Sixth chord doesn't do you much good if you can't apply it in your own music. To that end, we'll spend time on close listening, sight-singing, dictation, rhythm games, etc., and minimal time with textbooks.
