About Joseph
Personal touch. I treat them as individuals not a number.
I love what I do. By the time I was 16 I had 10 years of piano lessons. I started teaching in Dayton Ohio when I was a kid my self with six children ages 5-8.
I love it now more than ever. Not too many people say they enjoy going to work......but I do!!! Smile!!
By the time I was in my late teens - as mentioned- I had had 10 years of piano. I am very active in my worship and I wanted to do something that could provide a living for me since I would not get paid for the volunteer work I would preform. Some of my friend's parents - encouraged me to use my musical training and suggested - Why don't you teach our children piano? I started with a group of six students. After two years I moved to Clarksville TN in 1965 and immediately went to the music store and started a rapport with them. I put my first ad in the Leaf Chronicle in October of 1965 and obtained 11 students never looking back! Meanwhile, I took a few more lessons from the instructors of the APSU university. I enjoy it more now than when I started.
I had 10 years of piano at a small private institute run by Sarah Hitchcock in Dayton Ohio. This was during the middle 1950's to 1960's. In addition I had four years of trumpet, 2 Years of Bass Fiddle and one year of tap. But I do not currently teach tap - Smile!

That depends on whether they have had some training or not.
If they have never had any lessons than I have a set scenario of learning the keyboard and reading notes on the first lesson. If they have had training then I have a different scenario in which I ask questions, show them some different music levels or/and have them possibly play for me so that I can determine which books we should use and what would be the most beneficial for them personally.
I have had quite a variety. I have dealt with handicap youths and adults. For example, a number of autistic children, a seven year old boy who was victim of a stroke on his left side and an adult female who had lost her ring finger on her left hand in a work accident. I had to make up special - custom excercises in order to help these ones to progress.
I have taught persons from the age of 4 to the age of 84. One was a 28 year old female who was a piano teacher herself but wanted to have a better understanding. Another was a gentleman - who played in the airforce band but wanted to increase his understanding of rythmn and learn more about musical notation. I helped him to learn to play the piano and to become more skilled in playing trumpet.
Whoever you get should be someone that really loves teaching. Therefore, it will be - not only educational but enjoyable at the same time.
My piano teacher was a motivator and I try to be also.
In May of 2014 I began training on how to make professional videos and have quality audio. As a result, since 2015 I have made over 500 videos on my youtube site displaying many of my students and myself playing.
Recently, one of my adult students named Ed played a beautiful song titled "Polynesian Nocturne". Ed started from "scratch" only a year and a half ago. I thoroughly enjoyed releasing this video of his playing the piece. It can be seen at (concealed information) keys music/ed
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What are your personal goals? To learn to read music? To play for your own enjoyment? Or is it to be professional?
How should I practice? What kind of instrument should I have? For example, will I be able to use a keyboard or digital piano? Or do I need an acoustic piano? (I have no objection to starting out on a keyboard or digital piano. As to when to buy an acoustic I can help a student to make a decision for that when the time is right.)
Will I be allowed to do something for "fun" or the method books only?

My normal arrangement is as follows:
Once a week -30-minutes long - $80.00 per month.(This would be for four lessons.
Twice a week -30-minutes long each - or once a week for a full hour. (Whatever the customer prefers) There is a small discount and it would be $150.00 per month.
Multiple students -anything equaling 1 1/2 hours per week would be $220.00 per month.
Mutliple students-anything equaling 2 full hours per week would be $280.00 per month.
All lessons are private. If there are more than four weeks in a pay period we would take a day off. (Such as five fridays, etc.)
