Education
Bachelor of Music in Theory (University of Tennessee)
Graduate work in creative writing
Private ongoing study in music, history, science and philosphy
When the thing I am trying to communicate "clicks" with the student and I can hear a permanent difference in their delivery; that is a thrill for the teacher.
Dragged kicking and screaming by one of my former music professors.
Bachelor in Music Theory
Many years as a band leader in clubs, theater and churches.
Taught many successful musicians and writers.
About the lesson
- All Levels
- English
All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
For singers, I find the students vocal range through a series of exercises. Those exercises are then used to strengthen and stretch that range. Repetition creates consistency. The student will focus on one or two songs of their choosing, concentrating on deeper and deeper detail.
For guitar, I use a four point memory system:
Tactile, Aural, Mind and Muscle (TAMM)
With both guitar and voice, lesson times are used for drills so that the student learns to practice. Often a teacher shows a student what to practice but not how. The repetition you need to progress, we practice in lessons.
I have worked with beginners to advanced professionals. You're never too smart to learn more and never too good to get better.
I have worked with children as young as five years old and adults as old as eighty.
My perfect student is one that applies what I teach and works hard to make progress.
The best guitarist is often not the best teacher. Many teachers spend too much time showing off and not enough time showing how.
The Frank Brown International Songwriters' Festival is my annual celebration of music. It happens in November in Perdido Key Florida.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
I enjoyed the enthusiasm , high musical standards and attention to detail that Buzz brings to the pursuit of music . Buzz is a talented , driven individual that seeks to bring out the best in himself and others . His varied background in composition coupled with his songwriting and performance skills lend themselves to helping analyze and break material down and find areas to grow and mature musically .
Honesty. On point with every Lesson. Never gives up on a student.
Buzz has a way of breaking things down in a digestible way or finding ways to communicate things geared to how you will understand it best. He may even slip some lessons in on you without you realizing he did it.
His best advice........"The slower you go faster get there".
Seriously.......ask him about that!I had one coaching session with Buzz and my fans noticed the difference right away. He is magic.
Mr. Kiefer makes things easy to understand and shows you how to do things you thought you couldn't do.
