Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI will ask some questions about your experience, interests, goals and expectations, then I will explain about how I teach my lessons. Then we will jump in to some vocal or instrumental warms up and exercises. Depending upon your level of experience and comfort, I will play and sing with you and create a comfortable and encouraging atmosphere. There are many different types of lesson plans for each student and I take care and time to make sure it fits what individual students are looking for.
Lesson 11+Usually we continue to develop techniques and make sure students are growing their confidence, learning how to perform live, mic control for singers, perfecting songs, working on a bit more advanced techniques if students are ready, incorporating other aspects of music education such as some theory, improvisation for those who are interested, making sure they are able to sing/play a song straight through well, with proper techniques, breathing, support from their core, and more. Again, each student is different, but it’s important to understand what is being taught and to build on that knowledge to help students of all abilities and experience have a lasting relationship with music. I teach students from 3 to into their 70’s, so it’s important to build a good relationship, good communication, trust and keep evaluating students goals to guide them to exceed them.
Lesson 4-10At this stage, most vocal students will pick a song that we can start working on and applying their exercises to. Instrumental students will be working from a lesson book and supplemental materials, as well as focus on styles of music they are interested in learning. Each student is unique so the speed at which a student learns and improves is different and dependent on their practice and efforts.
Lesson 2-3As we are getting to know each other and I am learning more about your needs and abilities as well as learning styles, we will be working on practicing vocal exercises, instrumental techniques and start a practice plan as well as teach you how to practice properly. We will also incorporate breathing and diaphragm work.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonIt would be similar to all of my first lessons. We would discuss your/the students experience, interests, goals and expectations and I would share some on mine as well as the specific areas you want to fugue on studying and improving on. We would start by playing some of your warm ups, exercises and maybe a song or reading sheet music, maybe playing with a backing track.
Lesson 11+It depends upon the progress and interests of each student, again, but we would be working on applying the exercises and technique development to being able to play songs, improvise, learn popular solos, guitar lic’s, drum beats and fills, vocal runs and flexibility and so forth, to be able to play or sing songs with confidence, proper techniques, nice tone/sound, learn how to fix mistakes and keep playing after making a mistake, play with backing tracks to then prepare to play with other musicians, there’s an endless journey to each student and I continue to explore what I think they need to work on and improve upon as well as what they think and what their interests are.
Lesson 4-10By now you have a practice plan and I have a lesson plan that has been developed specifically for you and we are focusing on proper practice techniques and working on the areas that need training. I expect that the student comes prepared and that we go through the materials that were assigned and cover any new materials as well as answer questions and fix problems/challenges.
I will play along side of you and demonstrate techniques as well as help you make necessary adjustments. The psychology of learning is fascinating and each student not only learns uniquely, but also responds to feedback differently, so I try hard to know what works for each student and deliver the information in ways that work for each student. I’m definitely versatile and flexible and I’m fully present and engaged during each lesson.
Lesson 2-3The next few lessons would be focussing on creating a practice plan and discuss materials to use for this. I would begin to create a more in with and detailed lesson plan to work on the areas that you communicated that you want to learn or work on, as I continue to get to hear you, know you and understand how you learn and assess what I’m seeing and hearing from your playing.
Youth players
Working with kidsDepending upon the age and abilities, I create fun music with movement for 3 years to 6 years of age, while incorporating singing and learning songs, musical songs and activities, percussion instruments to introduce rhythms, recorder, ukulele and piano are good instruments to start with. Every music class or lesson is unique and the curriculum and lesson materials depend upon discussing the parents desires and the needs of the students.
Working with teenagersWhen working with teenagers, it’s the same as every other student, however teens need a different type of support and interaction, which I am experienced in. Being able to listen, relate, support, motivate, encourage and meet them where they’re at, are important attributes to teaching teens. I am personable and I engage each student while incorporating what they want to learn to play while explaining the importance of the things I know they need to learn and know.
What you need to bringBring your instrument, voice, any music you need help with or assignments I can assist with, and bring a positive attitude and willingness to learn! I will provide books for reimbursement and copies of my own supplemental materials for no cost.
What I can bringI can share my piano, and can allow beginners to try out different instruments, but most students need to have their own instrument to be able to learn on and practice with. I have helped many students with acquiring instruments, so I’m here to help.
