Music Lessons in El Paso, TX

Instruments: Voice

I have spent my entire life working the arts.  In high school I was a member of choir, band, theatre and jazz band. During my Air Force Years I attended the University of Maryland with my primary focus on musical theatre. Traveling the world and working with multiple theatre organizations has been an expirence that few can say they have done. We strive not to only teach vocal but theory as well to make a more marketable student so that they may be more prepared for the future. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Drums

Whether beginner or a bit more advanced, I have always liked to return to the basic foundational knowledge and techniques that must be understood well in order to advance and have a good sound and a good technique. For beginners in piano, I like to find books that the individual feels comfortable with and that they completely understand what they are getting themselves into. Every person is different. For snare drum, I like to use a book called stick control which helps students develop mastery in the way they play from precision to striking the snare drum correctly and the way they overall develop their style of playing.

My teaching style is very different depending on what works for each student so they can learn quick and easy and still make it fun for them. I encourage a lot of my students to have goals on why they want to learn guitar and I will help them achieve their goals and more. With that said I am very demanding when it comes to practice and being ready for each lesson to learn and get better at the guitar. Read More

If the student is a beginner I will teach them proper technique, how to develop good habits at home, and I will also inform the parent to watch out for these aspects when they are practicing at home! We will be working on short excerpts from essential elements book, and then we will progress to Suzuki repertoire. If the student is intermediate I will work on Suzuki repertoire, and scales, also most of my private students are in an orchestra so we incorporate their school music in lesson as well. Read More

My experience in teaching has been mainly focused on voluntary work, in teaching close friends, family and friends. I have always wanted to teach the joys of Classical Music to all ages. I have encouraged those of my teaching, to always have a consistency and regular practice so that with patience and time, they will see not only improvement but will also developed a passion for the instrument. I think that the key to becoming a piano virtuoso is having fun while learning, being patient, determined, persistent, and consistent. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

I generally do not teach directly from a book. I only use them as guides. I always felt that was the lazy way of doing things. A book doesn't know the student. I find that students of any age, learn and adapt to teaching in different ways and speeds. I start from the very bottom and we build every lesson, using previous lessons as building blocks. I take pride in teaching the way that works best for you or your child. Read More
