Biography:

Josh has been teaching and performing for more than 10 years throughout the United States and Europe. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Muskingum University and his Masters in Music Performance degree from Winthrop University. Additionally, he holds a Masters of Science from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Joshua performs with various local organizations such as Opera Carolina, University of South Carolina opera department, Oratorio Singers of Charlotte, and is frequently invited to sing at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston. He has sung and played piano for various companies throughout the United States and Europe. His musical work has taken him to places such as Miami, Cleveland, Rome, Stockholm, Helsinki, Paris, London, and many other major cities. Josh loves teaching, coaching, and developing students to pursue their dreams and make careers in music.


Teaching Philosophy:

Using my own methods to teach breathing, support, relaxation (relaxed sound), tone placement, delivery, (etc), I focus on intervals and pitch accuracy to give the student an introduction to aural skills/ear training in the younger years and floor excercies and breathing excercises are encouraged. In piano lessons, I spend a little time each week on essentials: scales, arpeggios, chords and inversions, ear training, intervals, etc. I do not feel that these should be exhaustive and hope to only expose the young learner to these techniques and relate them to the lesson and music being learned.

Making individualized lesson plans for each student with weekly progress, assigning technical practices for improvement, and incorporating these into the assigned music. Although I will direct students towards a “Classical” path, I will utilize their own interests (Broadway, pop, jazz, etc.) to keep them interested and engaged in weekly progress.
