Music Performance Lessons in Butler. Amazing Teachers.

I have been performing in musical ensembles and as a soloist for four decades. I can coach you to improve your performance habits and become a more effective (and less nervous) live performance musician. I currently perform with a professional contemporary a cappella group

I have taught beginning trombone, guitar and piano to both children and adults. As a singer, choir director and vocal coach, I have worked with students from beginner to professional levels.

I have been on stage performing for more than 12 years.
I performed in several countries in Africa, Europe and USA.

I teach all levels of piano. ear training, music theory, music performance. I teach old fashioned classical music, as well as playing by chords (usually preferred by adult beginners) but also will incorporate
playing by chords with classical training, because it enhances knowledge of music theory. I've developed my own task analysis for learning chord piano, which means I break it down into steps. I focus on keeping the student's enthusiasm and focus on assessing and providing a positive and successful outcome from the first lesson.

Expect to cover such performance essentials as: preparation (how to time your skills to be your best self), visualization, confidence and channeling nervous energy, crowd communication, stage presence, and other factors that contribute to your caliber as a performer.
