Music Lessons in Cibolo, TX

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Double Bass Tuba Music Electric Guitar

My methods include a number of fundamentals that include scales, technique and learning how to get around the instrument with ease and versatility. For beginners, I like to focus on the George Vance techniques and teaching in order to build a strong foundation. At the intermediate level, I like to find out what the students find interesting and cater the lesson plans around that. Same applies for adult students, I like to see where their interest are and focus on those aspects during the lessons while ensuring that their fundamental chops are at the level they need to be.

Instruments: Voice

I believe that half of the joy of making music is sharing it with others. In 2011, I graduated from Howard Payne University with a degree in music education, where I often performed lead roles in production spanning from "Bye, Bye Birdie," to "Gianni Schicchi." I am currently pursuing an advanced degree in Vocal Performance and Pedagogy from UTSA, and am projected to graduate in Spring 2015. I have had the opportunity to perform both around the State of Texas, as well as in Italy. Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin Music Keyboard

For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in first, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ

My teaching experience, on the individual and private level, goes back to my college days where I would tutor other students in piano to pass their keyboard barriers.  While in the active duty military (I'm retired now), I provided private lessons to children and adults in my available time.  It is important to remember that a student's individual practice time is invaluable; the lesson time is NOT supposed to be the first time to be reviewing an assigned piece!
