Music Lessons in Lakewood, WA. It's your time.

Steven holds a Bachelor of Music with a focus in Music Composition from Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, WA. He has been teaching lessons for 5 years.

"When starting with a new student, I work hard to ensure we go over the student's goals and determine where we need to begin in the learning process. From there, I can advise and create a compatible lesson plan specifically designed to each student."

My goal as a teacher is to provide consistent and positive learning opportunities for each student by:
1. Developing a well-balanced lesson plan that benefits the student.
2. Provide performance opportunities.
3. Encouraging regular practice.
4. Communicating progress with the parent and student.

Do you love the folky, relaxed feel of the ukulele and want to create that sound yourself? Do you enjoy music and want to pick up an instrument, but don't yet have the confidence to try the six strings of the guitar? Maybe you want to learn to play music, but you simply don't want your first instrument to be super complicated. If any of these scenarios sound like the situation you're in, the ukulele will be perfect for you. When learning the ukulele, we start by learning a few basics about music and several chords. For most students, this phase takes about 3 to 6 weeks, and after that they're playing their own ukulele version of some of their favorite songs. So what are you waiting for? Let's learn to play the uke!
