At the early age of 4 years old he began vocal training under his Father's tutelage who was trained musically and received a full music scholarship to attend Tennessee Tech. Being raised as a preacher's kid afforded Adam many opportunities to work with professional musicians, singers and the like. By 12 years old, Adam was already comfortable and excelled as a singer and performer internationally. Throughout his middle school and high school years, he was recognized as an accomplished musician and singer at churches, school and nationwide competitions. By age 13, he received invitations to participate in national youth choirs who only seek the most talented young people. By age 15, he was involved in a traveling team of young people who performed concerts weekly to audiences of various sizes (500+). For many years Adam participated in the A/G Fine Arts Festival. Beginning in September each year, over 70,000 junior and senior high school students begin preparing their entries for the District and National Fine Arts Festivals. Each participant had to succeed at the district level to advance to regional level and then advance again to have an opportunity to compete on the national level. Every year Adam received an invitation to nationals. The only year he made the trip to compete in nationals, he placed in the top 33 final competitors in the nation. That year, only the 1st and 2nd place winners were revealed. With a life of musical training, Adam had an opportunity to become the fulltime choir and band director at a large church (400+) with an advanced music program by age 19. Moving directly into a working position as a musician and singer greatly influenced his decision to begin a paid music career instead of continuing his education. Since that time, Adam has productively directed and trained musicians and singers in 3 adult choirs, 2 youth choirs, a childrens choir of 100+, and 8 bands consisting of 48 musicians. He has worked as a consultant for many churches and organizations starting up new music programs. Formal Education: Aside from lifelong experience, saxophone, piano, and bass lessons from 5th grade through High School, no formal education has been acquired. While Adam continues to study music after a lifetime of experience, most of his education has been hands-on learning while performing and working with others who are highly educated in music. Private Education: Has learned from multiple experts in the music industry over the past 25+ years. Specializes in a fast paced learning method that uses music theory as it's foundation. This method enables you to use chord charts and quickly be ready to play with other musicians with little to no prior musical experience. Also works with beginning and intermediate level students on more classical forms of learning which includes reading sheet music. Performing Experience: Adam has performed on countless stages over the years. From small intimate settings to audiences with thousands of people. His experience is well versed to include traveling to multiple nations as well as being on both television and radio programs alike. Experience Teaching: Adam has taught all ages from 4 years old to 70+ years old. Most of his students have come by way of referral from other satisfied students/parents. Students have stayed with him for years. He is often highly regarded as a favorite among other past teachers.

I've been playing for about 16 years, and I'm entering my final year as a music student at Florida State University. I do my best to be a well-rounded musician: I study both classical and jazz music, and regularly explore free improvisation. Away from the keyboard, I do a lot of thinking about music theory and music cognition. I'm a J.S. Bach fanatic. As a teacher, I firmly believe that music should involve both reading/repetition and creating right from the start. In my lessons, you'll learn how music works as well as how to play it, and you bet you'll use your ears. In general, I try to take things one step at a time, and I make sure to maintain a sense of exploration and discovery. I look forward to hearing from you!

Years of Experience: 3 Location Options: In Studio, In Home, In Webcam Travel Radius: 20 Genres: Blues, Jazz, Classical Age Groups: Children, Young Adult, Adult Instruments Taught: Orchestral Lessons Overview: I'm a relaxed guy that knows when to get down to business and when business should be fun.

I've maintained all As all my life and know how important school is.

Body: Nathan is the perfect candidate for a teaching position. Above his knowledge and skills, Nathan demonstrated patience and kindness when teaching my nephew Manny. Name: Oswald Thomas Date: 2017-07-10 19:36:10 Title: Teacher of Mathematics Body: It is with great honor and pleasure that I am writing this letter on behalf of Nathan. I have known Nathan for the past two years, and I’m privileged to have been his teacher of mathematics for those two years. I have observed during this time a very unique young man with excellent manners, good academic ability, and strong leadership skills. Nathan is only a junior who has been able to become an outstanding figure here at University High School. He strove to earn the respect of both the faculty and the students by portraying a positive attitude and establishing himself as an outstanding role model. He has risen to become a strong leader for his peers and has achieved academically as well. As a student in my class, Nathan is always taking on challenging assignments, even when he doesn’t receive any credit for these assignments. He usually can be found reading, studying, or helping his fellow students, when he is not too busy doing tedious algebraic calculations. It is with this attitude and through his perseverance that he has attained such a high level of success. In his academics he strives to gain the respect of his teachers and put the best effort possible into his work. Many students have failed to reach their inner potential while Nathan has soared to establish himself among the best that UHS has to offer. This type of maturity and dedication is an attribute to Nathan’s ranking as one of the top students in our International Baccalaureate Program. Nathan has also participated in many academic, civic, athletic, and social groups within our school and the community. It is through his membership in these groups and his role as a leader that he helped to shape the scholastic climate for University High School. Nathan has completed many community service hours through various community service projects and service learning as part of IB and graduation requirements. While doing these projects he executed his responsibilities in a very mature and professional manner. Please accept my recommendation for Nathan to work in your establishment; I believe that he will be an asset to any institution, organization, firm, or business that gives him the opportunity to demonstrate the qualities alluded to above. Nathan is a gentleman in the making; I am honored to be his teacher!!

Years of Experience: 23 Location Options: In Studio Travel Radius: 0 Genres: Rock, Classical Age Groups: Young Adult, Adult Instruments Taught: Keyboard and Piano Lessons Overview: Melody's students love that she teaches them whatever they want to learn. If they want to dig into classics and learn how to read music, then that will be the focus. If not, then the student will learn chord progressions and theory, and will write their own charts and play in band. She even writes sheet music for her readers using a music notation software. Melody teaches piano and voice predominantly, but also has a few guitar students. She can teach audio engineering and how to get the best sound for any song. Melody's approach as a teacher is to make learning music fun. She was classically trained, so she is highly skilled in sight reading. While working their way through the lesson curriculum, her students will complete homework assignments and also learn how to write their own music. Melody is an accomplished professional musician who has worked with some of the best producers, and has supplemented her considerable musical education with online classes at Berklee, as well as through personal music mentoring from some of the industry's top professionals. Formal Education: Melody earned a degree in Chemistry from Northern Arizona University in 2012. Private Education: Since the age of four, Melody has been behind the piano. Melody's musical education began early, and she took private lessons for 16 years, learning from some of the best classical music teachers. She was able to read sheet music before she reached school age! She began studying voice, and in addition to taking private lessons, became the president of her school choir. Performing Experience: Melody has been teaching formally since 2006, at both the high school and university level. While in college, she was asked to student teach, and did so from her freshman year into her senior year. After graduating, she began her career as a high school science teacher. Although she had a wonderful career, in her heart she had really missed playing music. So in 2014, Melody joined a heavy metal band as their keyboard player, and later became a career musician after falling in love with performance and composition. Experience Teaching: In 2016, Melody moved to Dallas, Texas, to be closer to her family, and began teaching music lessons privately. She currently teaches about 40 private students whom she meets with in person each week. Additionally, she is working as a TV and film song writer, and is working on creating video lesson plans to be able to teach remotely to anyone in the country! -Education- Degree: B.S.

Name: Britt Hollingsworth Date: 2018-06-28 12:25:40 Title: Versatile Body: We started off with a desire for music lessons, for which Melody has been well-equipped and engaging. But, she got him to confess a desire to act as well...which is another art with which she has had substantial experience and insight. So now, every visit is a nice surprising mix of different possibilities.

Years of Experience: 30 Location Options: In Studio Travel Radius: 50 Genres: Rock, Blues, Jazz, Classical, Country, Acoustic Age Groups: Children, Young Adult, Adult Instruments Taught: Drum Lessons Overview: The best cure for a sluggish mind is to disturb its routine. [William D.] Hello. I'm a professional musician, composer, and teacher of drumset/snare drum. Been doing both for 2+ decades. I've recorded, performed, and toured here in the USA and in Europe. Started my schooling in France (w/Alan Silva)and finished up at UNT (Music Performance) in Denton (w/Henry Okstel, Rick Latham, etc). I've played Jazz and Bebop, Top 40, techno/electronika/rave, rock, heavy metal, blues, Greek Middle Eastern, some symphonic, pop, various avant-garde styles, "nuevo" flamenco, funk, hip-hop, latin, folky singer-songwriter, reggae/dub, drum 'n' bass, totally improvized music, CW, and even lizard lounge styles. Currently accepting students from beginner to advanced. Age range of my students= 6 yrs old to early 50's... Beginning students are those that don't know anything about playing drumset except for the fact that it seems like it would be a fun thing to do. Maybe they have a drumset, maybe they don't. (If you don't have a drumset I can help you find one without breaking the bank...). Maybe they want to further hone the skills that they're learning in school music programs, ie. reading skills,snare drum skills, the rudiments... Intermediate drummers to Advanced drummers are those drummers that have been playing for a while and have realized that there may be more to playing the drumset than they're currently capable of or even aware of. This includes conceptions of drumming and music, 4-limb inter-dependence, and music styles that may seem "mysterious"...like Bebop (Jazz). Maybe they want to learn how to read and write. These drummers may have a pretty decent handle on things, maybe play in a band, or have played in several bands but feel like their lack of technique (like stick control,limb control, phrasing, syncopation) is holding them back. They may feel they've "reached a wall" in their technical abilities and/or their musical abilities and expression: same old licks, same old beats, same old fills, etc. Self-taught drummers may feel the desire to develop more of the "formal" training into their playing (the rudiments, reading, ear-training, snare drum chops, Jazz syncopations/chops, odd meter playing, "flow", etc). Maybe they just want the input of a teacher who ca
