Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: My name is Joshua Ballard. I’m currently making online music courses from home for a company called Lernsys. I have a B.A. in Music Education with Highest Honors. I've been teaching for 10 years. I've directed, taught, and sang for multiple churches. At my previous job I worked as an Assistant Choir Director at Tascosa High School for 3 years. I'm looking for private piano and voice students any age. My rates are $25/30 minutes or $45/hour. I prefer to teach at my home, but I'm open to coming to you. Please contact me if you’re interested! My Bio: My beautiful wife tells me that she loves my passion for people. I live my life striving to make everyone I meet better for having met me. I teach music because caring about the people in the world means communicating effectively with everyone. To do that we need a Universal language, and music fills that role. I believe that in order to make the world a better place we need to be in touch with other people in profound, creative ways. Working as an online teacher has provided me that chance. Through them I can fulfill my philosophy by reaching hundreds or thousands of people across the world. I consider it a privilege and an honor to work for my students. My experience teaching has proven that this vocation comes with heavy responsibilities, therefore I take my job very seriously. I'm extremely motivated to producing high quality courses. I teach music in a way that's comprehensive, interesting, and rewarding. We can't ignore that Science has proven that the nature of music instills deep-seated, virtuous core values like self-discipline and a high self-esteem. Music will also improve a student's performance in other subjects, especially in mathematics and reading. Music is a lifelong skill that should be accessible to everyone. My calling is to give my all to make it so. If you feel a calling to become a professional musician, don't feel discouraged from it! In today's world you can find a fulfilling, lifelong career in music. I hope you will entrust me to teaching you music, and I promise, if you do, you will not regret it!

Josh is a fabulous piano teacher. He has the ability to teach students who play at different levels, as well as use a variety of methods to learn music. For example, both my 8th grade son and I are taking lessons. He gave us a couple of different options to play songs. For example, one option is to play the notes written on a staff. The other option was to read chords and freestyle the desired song. Along those same notes, he taught us the blues scale and we’ve been learning to improvise our own music. On top of his creativity, Josh is very professional, friendly and positive.

Josh is great, I was prepared to just sit and listen to instruction when we started but he was quick to sniff out exactly what it was I was working on and he really makes sure to get some kind of measured improvement down each time we meet. He’s really great at assessing the student and meeting them in the middle is what I’m getting at, which is not something every teacher has.
