Music Lessons in Crosby, TX

Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard

For beginners, I typically start with Mayon Cole's EZ Keys for younger children (age 4.5 to 5), and I use manehune (age 6) or level one (age 7-10) or above for elementary school age children. Once the student has progressed and gain confidence in sight reading and rhythm/counting, I will then supplement the curriculum with solo repertoires from other piano curriculum such as Fabor/Fabor or Alfred series (Little Mozart). I also introduce chords playing for contemporary/praise music when the student is ready. Read More

I am full of energy and love learning as much as I can, but I also understand that full and in depth skill requires time and a certain level of patience and consistency. I relay this to students by repetition (specifically of principles), though I keep it fun and exciting by varying the application. Once the principle is fully grasped, we move on. I also give light, yet fun x22homeworkx22 assignments to keep the student engaged and thinking about music outside of the lesson. Read More

Instruments: Voice

I strongly believe referencing pop and youth culture can help build techniques that are clear and understandable to my students. In my experience, but is no surprise, I've seen that children learn in different ways. Flexibility within ones teaching style is necessary to help develop the young singer. I encourage creativity, understanding and fun. Music and singing is a creative outlet and should be fun, and if the student is having fun and understanding what is happening, then their passion for it will grow. Read More

Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Keyboard

My love of music allowed me to gain a level of proficiency on my own without lessons.I also learned later on that I needed help on my fingering and chords. When I started taking lessons at the age of 16, my Organ teacher told me that she couldn't believe I had never had any lessons, because I was already better than half of her students.She took me to a professional level in just 4 years.

I'm a teacher at heart and I always have something new and exciting to give to others in the form of information or skill. I've been teaching professionally for over 10 years and I love every single minute of it. I have worked in two Texas Independent School Districts and I have worked with a wide variety of age groups and subjects, not just music. I occasionally play live shows on the weekends with my band and I can play four other instruments besides the guitar. Read More

I use Berklee, Van Eps, custom-written material, and I also teach composition, theory, film scoring. My teaching approach: I possess a thorough knowledge of the instrument. Focus on proper technique for all students, regardless of his/her playing ability. Once proper technique is established, I utilize the Berklee Series as a basis for instruction. These volumes are supplemented by exercises, which I write specifically for the particular student’s needs. Read More
