About
Welcome to my music studio called MusicLessons4fun, where personalized, one-on-one instruction is provided in a very relaxed atmosphere. My goal is to keep your lessons stress free and fun!
I have been giving private, one on one instrumental lessons for over 50 years and love what I do! I am very relaxed, easy to get along with, love to laugh and have fun! I believe in keeping your lesson time relaxed and stress free. My desire is to help you learn whatever instrument you’ve chosen well enough to be able to play it for the rest of your life!

Teaching Style
The instruments I offer to teach are Piano, Guitar, Banjo, Dulcimer, Violin, Mandolin, Ukulele (soprano, concert, tenor and baritone), Flute, Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Trumpet & Harmonica. The genres of music I enjoy teaching are gospel and bluegrass, but I also enjoy teaching classical, western, traditional oldies, movie themes, blues, old rock n roll. We can talk about the kind of music you would like to learn and I will do my best to help you learn some of your favorites!
Curriculum
For piano I use Faber and Faber. For dulcimer, guitar, banjo and ukulele, I use the Tablature method. Flute, trumpet, clarinet and harmonica are taught using Hal Leonard method. Aside from the basic lesson books for all instruments, I incorporate many other books that cover a wide range of styles/genres of music. Books and individual songs of your choice will also be incorporated into the lessons to make learning even more enjoyable. After all, this is why you want to learn so you can play the songs you like!
