Music Lessons in Alpine, UT. It's your time.

Private music theory lessons are a great benefit for the student interested in pursuing music in college, composition lessons, or to better yourself as a musician. It can be taught in conjunction with ear training (recommended), within an instrumental lesson, or by itself.

Music lessons should be fun, encouraging and full of music that you love. They are an opportunity to learn something new, show your improvement, and receive correction, encouragement and praise. Students and instructors should play together frequently throughout and the time should be balanced with theory, technique and exercises, sight-reading, and performance and seasoned with introductions to a variety of music and styles. I like to encourage students to play because they love to play and to find the music that is an integral part of their soul, then to share that with others through performance. What do you want to do with or gain from your music? We will work toward your goals.
