Music Lessons in Clarksville, TN. It's your time.

I teach students of all ages and abilities. I have a number of clarinet students, one of which went on to major in music education and is now a band director.

If you don't live near me, online lessons are a great alternative to in person lessons. I have had success teaching many students of various abilities and ages throughout the country and abroad online ! I have taught online students from 26 different states and 3 other countries.

I am a professional cellist with a graduate degree in music and extensive performing and teaching experience. I look forward to working with you or your child to help accomplish your goals and have fun making music! Lessons are tailored to each students needs and abilities, and I have vast experience working with students of all ages and abilities, from elementary students to college students. I teach online and in-person lessons.

I can provide private lessons for beginner-intermediate level violin and viola students who are in elementary-middle school. I also provide beginner-advanced cello lessons for students of all ages.

This is a Preschool class offered. I have taught this Rhythm and Pulse class to children as young as 1 year old and I teach up through 6 years old depending on the child.
What I work on is helping the student build Rhythm, and Pulse (or Tempo) For this age group the children are getting hands-on play with up to 15 different instruments. Each lesson reinforces each other to help the student develop what are called "Preplaying" Skills.
These skills include but are not limited to:
Listening Skills
Eye-Hand Coordination
Speaking Skills
Muscle Memory
Fine Motor Skills
Gross Motor Skills
High/Low
Fast/Slow
Loud/Soft
Patterns
And SO MUCH MORE.

My goal is to teach students how to actually understand Music, not just play notes. There is something extremely liberating about being able to instantly arrange any song based on an internalized knowledge of the structure of Music (harmony, rhythm, melody, and texture). Whether you want to learn how to play popular tunes by ear, play chords from a lead sheet, or get into advanced jazz harmony and improvisation, my core teaching principles will remain the same. The goal is to learn deeply and internalize, not just memorize notes. My specialty is in jazz, arranging, and composing. I have released 4 albums and had over 125k streams on Spotify. There is nothing I would love more than to help you along your journey with Music and equip you with tools that will last a lifetime!

I am passionate about connecting students to their own unique voice through discovering the relationship between the body, the brain, vocal discipline, and personal expression. I work on creating a resonant and freely produced sound throughout all the registers. My goal is to promote healthy vocal technique while having full engagement in a song. I believe that singing is not only learning the right notes and words while delivering a lovely sound: singing is conveying your emotion, your engagement, and your character’s situation to the audience. Once your voice is lined up with great technique, your “own” true voice will begin to surface with an increased vocal range, resonance, and heightened flexibility between notes. You will explore who YOU are as a singer and discover what repertoire works best for you. I also emphasize working through the actor’s process, so she can fully prepare you for any audition or performance.

I will help develop and strengthen your rhythm and snare technique.
