I am currently a Commercial Music Violin Student studying with Dr. Stephanie Meyers at the University of Texas at El Paso. I have been teaching since 2017 with age groups ranging from 4 up to adults. I am passionate about string pedagogy because music develops students not only in the arts, but it also teaches them about discipline in a way that will be fruitful to them for the rest of their lives!

Instruments: Trumpet

I often find that the method of teaching and practice is more important the the material being used. That being said, I think it is very important to develop strong fundamentals. I like to use time-tested standards, such as the Clarke and Arban's book. For younger students, their school band books usually suffice with some supplementation from my own library. Read More

I studied drum lessons at 12 years old and studied jazz and swing drumming early on. I was a percussion major in college then spent a few years in Austin Texas traveling with country, rock and blues bands. Have played on over 20 records. My lessons are one on one and we both play side by side each at a drum set learning and having fun. My home studio is comfortable and provides a great atmosphere for music. Read More

I try to make sure students can progress at their own pace based on their own skill level and experience with the instrument. I try to instill diligence patience and not being too hard on yourself as the top priorities. I want student and teacher interactions to be casual enjoyable and fun but at the same time serious with regards to the composer's intentions in the music. Like watering a flower it doesn't happen overnight the flower takes time to grow same with a piano student there needs to be incremental growth not overnight success. Read More

I encourage progress over awards. It is vital that the singer be able to rely on their fundamental and progress at their own pace to be able to build healthy habits that will last for a lifetime of singing. I try to understand the goals and desires for all students to be able to help them reach that goal in a healthy progression. I am very challenging but singing if supposed to always be fun as well or there is no use in doing it every day. Read More
