Music is one of the greatest gifts that we can offer to our hearts, and to the world. My goal is to teach you to harness that gift. My studio is called Be-Loved because I want to do more than just teach you or your child music: I want to use it as a tool to inspire and empower you, and I want you to feel encouraged in the process.
I love every minute of teaching lessons to my wonderful students! I have now been teaching for a decade. I teach in Asheville, NC, but I can also teach online.
I have taught hundreds of students piano, voice, beginning guitar, theory, composing, and songwriting. I have a degree in music. I also used to teach songwriting workshops around the world and have made 6 solo albums so I have a lot of experience. I have taught practically every age from 2 to 80 years old!
I customize your lessons to what you or your child would like to do the most. For piano and guitar, most lessons start with book work and reading of notes since that is the foundation of music, but I can also incorporate really creativce elements like chord chart reading and simple theory.
With my simple method of teaching theory, my students (even four year olds) are composing their own music on an iPad program and then transferring that into Logic Pro, a powerful production program, to add instrumentation and beats. (You can listen to some of these amazing songs on the link below.)
If you are interested in voice lessons, I have developed an incredibly effective way of teaching called the Voice Color Method. I have studied hundereds of techniques to develop this method. It is especially transformative because we are able to diagnose problem areas and really hone in those to allow you have the best voic possible! Some of my students that have learned voice from me have gone on to play at both small and large venues, make multiple albums, and even get millions of views on their social media platforms. (Check out the separate page in the menu to lean more about the Voice Color Method.)
I also am a certified life coach and can bring "emotional wholeness through music" into our lessons, but this is optional.
I can also focus some of our lessons on songwriting if you would like that option! I often record my students' songs for simple demos, and sometimes they get to learn about producing as well! I have recorded my students singing their origial songs as young as 6! (See adorbale picture below.) There will be a small fee for optional mixing and mastering outside of class if you would like it to sound really good.
