It does you no good if you can play a song but don't know what you are actually doing. My philosophy is to teach my students to be smart musicians. It's my goal to help each student become the musician they desire to be. It usually takes around 2 - 3 months for a beginner to get up to speed and start playing full songs. I use Yamaha and Korg digital pianos and JBL speakers. I also create, print, and email custom lessons created on a program in my Mac. To help students become well rounded musicians I teach from a variety of books and programs by companies like Alfred, KJOS, Hal Leonard, song books, to individual pieces from music notes. I offer lessons from 2 studios located in Tulsa and Broken Arrow. I started teaching Piano in 2008 and have worked with over 100 students of all ages.

So it really is all one thing.Īccompaniment, Arrangement and Composition, Audio Engineering, Audition Prep, Composition, Ear Training, Film Scoring, Jazz Voice, Logic Pro Software, Music Performance, Music Recording, Music Theory, Piano, Singing, Songwriting, Speaking Voice, Spoken Word, Vocal Training. To sing you should be able to pick out intervals at the piano, or better yet, accompany yourself and everyone needs some music theory. Below are some of the complementary skills that I can help you with.įor example, we record, sing and play all the time. Music almost always involves several skills. Oh and yes, my method makes good use of technology but is still rooted in a solid and massive classical education including Dalcroze, Kodaly, Suzuki, Orff and more. I send you an MP3 along with an email of your lesson notes.

We still get to all the ear training and music fundamentals as well.Īlmost every lesson we record your original music or you playing on top of tracks that we create together or that I create for you. What a turn-off! We make sure to play first and we always have great fun. They teach reading before you can play a note. Most music lessons are just too full of un-intuitive systems. “We look forward to our session every week!”

will teach you in a way that will make you want to learn.” “.positive attitude and friendly personality.” “My son's love for music has come from Randy.” “.an amazing instructor.inspiring passionate.” Listening back to your performance is a powerful tool. We play AND record right away, and it's a lot of fun! So why would you ever try to read music before you can play it? we all learned to speak before we learned to read and write. Are you or your child just longing to express yourself on a keyboard? So was I, for as long as I can remember.
