Kevy Nova Guitar/Bass/Ukulele Live Video Lessons
15 Reviews
My teaching approach: When I started taking lessons at the age of 9, my teachers only wanted to teach me songs and music that THEY liked and I almost quit because of it. As a result, I am dedicated to teaching my students the music that THEY love and I use that music to help them understand the fundamentals of music theory and guitar technique. My belief is that music has to be fun as well as educational. I am currently offering online lessons only. You can learn from the comfort of your own home with one-on-one live video lessons!

Mina's Piano School Of Music
No matter how far your children will ultimately take their musical experience, my 35 years of experience in piano teaching has taught me, that a child's discovery of 'the sound of music' in themselves is the real purpose of a musical education. The process of developing this internal capacity can be one of the first experiences of something that is truly their own and serves as a foundation for self confidence and a measure for their own self evaluation. Member of MTAC, preparations to CM exams, competitions and annual concerts. Emphasis on reading musical notation, learning to deal with the full range of rhythmical patterns and musical style
