Patience is the key. For the teacher and the student. There's no need to get upset or angry. Music isn't hard, bricks are. Music just takes time. If there's a section of the music that's challenging, I like to take it in chunks. By focussing on the first couple bars and once that's clean, we can look at the next couple bars. Then adding the four bars, and repeating that. Read More

I strive to create an environment in my lessons where students have free to explore and express their passions and find their voice to become great musicians and people. In my lessons, I prioritize three main goals: technical proficiency, music literacy, and the performance of enjoyable repertoire. These goals are taught through age and experience-appropriate method books, along with supplemental technical materials that are shared with students as well. Finally, musical literacy and technique come together in application of repertoire! Read More
Instruments: Drums
Hi, my name is Mike. I am from Boerne, TX and got a degree in Music Marketing from the University of Texas at San Antonio. I played the trumpet in middle school, high school, and it was my primary instrument in college. I have also been playing the percussion, particularly drum set, for 15 years and it is still my favorite thing to do. I am apart of several classic rock bands where I perform locally and in surrounding cities. Read More

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Vangelis was a profoundly amazing composer and performer of many different synthesizers.
His music motivated me to learn more about electronic instruments in general as well as challenge myself with utilizing as many features and functions within each machine as I can.
Of all his prolific works, my favorite piece by him is "Hymne" (1979, the year I was born).
Well, I personally arranged this keyboard piece for my advanced middle school band to play during my first teaching job.
I played synthesizer while the band played the melody, harmony, and percussion parts and it was a dream come true to lead and be part of such an incredible group of young musicians!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I were not a musician then I'd still be teaching...the passion for education began in elementary for me. One way or another, I'll always be teaching!
However, there are other skills I have obtained. As a result of having to pay for college on my own (coming from a large family whose parents have no formal education), I didn't receive my bachelor's degree (in music education) until I was 26 years old. Most of my electives in my undergrad were computer programming courses. When I was an upperclassman in high school, the dot-com boom was in full effect. I learned BASIC of different kinds (e.g., QuickBASIC, etc.) as well as COBOL and Visual Basic (one of my favorite languages!). I even taught Web Page Design w/HTML to continuing education students when I myself was only 19 years old! As a private music instructor today, I design and code my website myself using HTML and JavaScript and no fancy software---just freehand using only Notepad!
Also, my investments perform at least as well as I do: I've been investing in stocks since I was 18 years old (1997) and in commodities (futures market) since 2000. Today, half of my income as a private music instructor comes from trading crude oil, gold and soybeans futures contracts on an almost daily basis. Doing what I do for a living provides me with the flexibility to be at home on my computer when regularly scheduled reports are released which provides an incredible amount of volume and opportunity to get in and get out of the market in a short amount of time, usually yielding as much or more as what I earn from lessons in an entire week!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have both a bachelor's degree in music education (Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey - 2005) as well as a master's degree in music education (University of Texas at San Antonio - 2010).
Having a passion to share my knowledge and skills of various musical instruments from a young age, I was inspired by some great music educators to follow their footsteps into the field of teaching!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I first address any questions from the previous session.
We then will work on various warm-up exercises to build and maintain skills.
Depending on the skill level, we will next play selected excerpts from methods books.
The main focus of the lesson is on song material - usually prepared by me or a piece brought in by the student.
Finally, I will assign what repertoire to work on until we meet again!
