I have been playing saxophone for 16 years, and got both of my bachlor and master degree in classical saxophone performance. I have had a lot of performing experience during these years.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Recorder
Just like homeschooling, students will learn individually at their own pace. Students must enjoy their lesson. Sometimes the students may find it discouraging but it is my mission to give them acknowledgment in their accomplishments and nurturing so they can continue to flourish and be the best musicians they can be.

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For all students that are beginners, I will start off by teaching them the important things about the guitar such as the names of the strings, how the guitar works, and how to properly tune. We will go over basic theory at first and then start learning some simple melodies and chord progressions. For students that are more intermediate and want to learn a style of music, I will break down the basic elements of what the guitar incorporates into that style of music. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Trombone
I graduated in 2011 from SMU with my music degree in Trumpet Performance, and have been teaching privately in the Dallas area ever since. Although while at SMU my focus was mainly on orchestral playing and classical techniques, I am equally comfortable playing jazz and commercial styles, and honestly probably play those styles just as much as I do orchestral work now. I love teaching lessons and view each student as a unique way to approach the instrument. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Music Keyboard
Every student has their own interest and learn with their own pace. I teach them based on what they need to learn and give them what they want to play. I pay attention to students' basic technique and postures as I believe that having a good basic foundation helps you build up your skill and will help you improve. It's important to develop a good practice habits. Always think and plan before practice, set a goal for each session. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I am a passionate and very relatable teacher who absolutely loves sharing my love for music with my students as I endeavor to help them become skilled and engaged musicians themselves. I graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Music Education in 2010. I have had the opportunity to perform all over the world, including 6 countries in Europe, Taiwan, and Russia. I currently sing with a number of professional choral ensembles in the DFW area, including The Verdigris Ensemble and the Texas Voices. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ
I approach each student knowing that every student is unique and so is their learning style. While the information that is delivered to each student remains the same, the manner in which I teach each student varies widely. I try to foster the best student-teacher relationship possible in order to gain the confidence and trust of both the student and their families. I also have much experience teaching students with unique characteristics such as ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, Asperger's, etc. Read More
Instruments: Drums Music
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had many teachers who inspired me over the years.
I started taking lessons in school in the 4th grade and started private lessons in the 5th grade.
My first private drum teacher had a huge impact on me. He was a cool guy and I looked up him. He was knowledgeable and extremely patient. His ability to teach kept me engaged and excited. I was learning something new during every lesson.
I'll never forget him.
In my late teens, I studied with the late, great Charles (Charlie) Perry, renowned big band drummer and the author of many seminal, instructional drum books. I was in awe of him. He was a straight shooter and provided honest criticism and guidance that has lasted a lifetime.
When will I start to see results?
I make sure we see progress every day. From Day 1, students progress because they are learning something new every time we meet. Playing an instrument is just like learning another language. You start out learning to read and write letters, then they move on to words, then to sentences, then to paragraphs. Similarly, learning to play music progresses using the same formula.
But it takes a dedicated student to practice what is being taught. The more time a student dedicates to learning and practicing their instrument, the quicker they will see results.
This means practicing everyday. Taking private lessons at least once a week with an instructor is also a key ingredient. Be sure to schedule "make up" lessons if one is missed. It's important to keep the momentum going. Students must be committed to their musicianship and to their instrument.
But realize that nothing happens overnight. It takes patience, perseverance, and dedication to see results. The key ingredient is to work with a private instructor who can teach them correctly. The rest will come naturally.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There are many things to consider.
Is your child musically inclined?
Is your child always tapping their feet and hands while listening to music?
Can you, as a parent/guardian, sense they have a feel for music or is it just nervous energy?
Do they dream or talk about about playing an instrument, in particular playing the drums and being a drummer?
Do they idolize a particular band or drummer?
Is your child interested in Band or Orchestra in school?
Are they currently taking lessons in school?
Speak to your child. Ask them if they're ready?
Ask yourself, as their parent or guardian, if you're ready to support a drummer in the household. Noise is a factor and that needs to be considered.
Does your child have a disability? Physical or emotional? Sometimes a disabled child can use drums as part of their therapy. Children with emotional and behavioral conditions can be tempered with drum lessons. Check with their primary doctor, specialist, or caregiver to see if taking up the drums make sense.
Lastly, never force anything on a child unless it's obvious they have a proclivity towards something. This goes for the drums, as well.
