Music Lessons in Fairacres, NM

Instruments: Voice

During the initial lesson I sit down with my students and discuss exactly what they are looking to glean from private instruction.  Then we develop a game plan.  Some students achieve at a faster pace than others because talent develops differently from everyone.  I also ensure that every student has strong music theory foundation so that they understand singing isn't just what you hear but what you know in your mind.

Instruments: Piano

I believe that if one wants to become a piano virtuoso and master the classical piano, one must take the time to understand the joy and beauty of Classical Music in order to be able to transmit that beauty. I believe in acknowledging accomplishments, taking the time to practice and I also believe in challenging students to become better. Finding what composers inspires the students is very important because this makes them eager to learn. 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
