Frequently asked questions

My expertise with a new student is to make them feel as comfortable as possible.  It can be an overpowering experience meeting a new teacher for the first time, especially when you work with someone on a one on one basis. 

If it is a brand new student and the student has never had any music lessons before I begin at the beginning with the hands. Whether a piano student or a Saxophone student we begin we the hands.  The position is very important.  

At that time we address the beginning of reading music either on the Treble Clef or the Grand Staff.

I have been teaching music for a very long time.  I have attended many music schools in this country and abroad.

I am a product of Michigan State University in my undergrad work and multiple music schools abroad.  

I have worked with many great pedagogic Professors.  I can trace my lineage back to Beethoven.  

My work as a music teacher is my passion.  I truly want my students to love music and to continue to play for the rest of their lives.  To enjoy many hours of pleasure and music to bless their lives and of all who come in contact with them.

Music is the greatest of gifts. It is a bridge like nothing else.

That's what I bring to the table. 

I do.  The lesson rate is based on 15-30-45 minute lessons.

I reserve hour lessons for adults and advanced students.

I pro-rate my fees depending on the age and the knowledge of the student.

The longer the lesson and/or the knowledge required will determine the fee.

If the truth be known I have always been teaching.  I am the eldest of 3 children.  My Mother was not well and I had to work and teach my siblings.  

I also did a lot of singing and playing the piano and organ at church.  Again, I had many occasions to teach. 

I have taught many ADD and ADHA students.  I have taught students with high autism.  I also have taught blind students. 

The majority have been quite normal students.  I have had many of my students go on to higher education.  I have two students who are currently serving as Music Professors at Major Universities,  a film producer who has won an Emmy, an FBI agent, CPA's and many regular Mom's and Dad's who I have been blessed to keep in contact with over the years.

 

I believe in the interview process.  I prefer to meet the instructor or teacher before I commit to studying with them.

I what to see if they are a fit.  To be very honest, sometimes it isn't a fit.  If not, I would like to know that before I invest my time and/or money.
