Instruments: Violin Cello Viola
I am a passionate instructor who enjoys working with students of all ages. I started performing, professionally, at a very young age, during my 6 years at the Alabama School of Fine Arts. From there, I attended the Louisiana State University, as a cello performance major and performed with the school symphony, as well as the Alexandria Symphony, the Lake Charles Symphony and local venues. I went on to get my Master's degree at Georgia State University and then returned to Louisiana State University for my final degree in Cello Performance. Read More

My methodology for teaching guitar is based on getting to know the student and their specific goals for the instrument. Are they looking primarily for a way to play along with their favorite songs, or would they like to get more invested in a deeper understanding of the technical side of learning music theory? Finding out their goals can help me shape the lesson plan with each individual student in mind, so that they can experience learning guitar in a way that is both fun and engaging for them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I recently finished my studies to receive my Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy degree from Sam Houston State University. At SHSU I gained experience working with a variety of clientele including those diagnosed with autism, dementia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and spina bifida. I also provided live percussion music with the Creative Movement Program with the dance department at Sam Houston State University. I hope that in the near future I can own my own private studio where I can host music lessons and music therapy sessions. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My earliest teaching experience was in my senior year of high school. While in college, I was required to do some student teaching, and this gave me a tremendous amount of insight into how best to approach being a music instructor. Since graduating, most of my musical experience has come from playing and directing choirs at churches, schools, and theatres, but I have continued teaching and enjoy learning different methods to share with my students.

Hello my name is Ben and ive been teaching music for over ten years now. I graduated from Musicians Institute in Hollywood Ca in 2008. I am in 2 bands now and music is my life and passion. I enjoy what I do and received best of Teacher's award in 2015. I have traveled to Europe three times in the last 5 years touring with a band and it was a great musical experience. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My method of teaching puts emphasis on the keyboard fundamentals that develop sound piano technique. I use a systematic approach in which the student progresses from their present level, whatever it may be, beginner, intermediate, or advanced, to their next level in a reasonable time. For students at the beginning or intermediate-beginning levels, I would choose from the Faber, Albert, Leonard, or Thompson piano methods. I always give the student after each lesson a method of practice for the music/lessons required. Read More

I have performed and recorded with a variety of different groups in Southern California and Texas including the Claremont Symphony Orchestra in Claremont, California, the Point Loma Nazarene University Orchestra in San Diego, California, the Sinfonietta of Fort Worth in Texas, various independent solo artists and alternative bands.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is a BS in Arts Administration with a minor in Radio/TV from Butler University in Indianapolis, IN. For a while I thought about being a Music Education major, but felt like I would be in a better position for administration so I would have more experiences to delve into upon graduation.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I like to welcome the student and check in quickly to see how their week was. Then I would get started on scales, a few major and minor scales, as well as harmonic and melodic versions of the minor scales. Then, I like to do some short etudes in my student's text-type book. I like to end a lesson by going through the areas of full pieces that need the most help. I love to hear a piece in its entirety if there's time to do so.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Hal Leonard is my go-to regimen for students. It's a comprehensive method which builds on the techniques needed to excel technically. I used this as a young student and feel it is a great base for young flautists.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
For me, the technical runs, trills, double and triple tonguing, 32nd note runs...I could go on and on. I could always feel the music. The technical side of hitting all the notes and having the breath support to sustain it is paramount.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have loved teaching and witnessing how much a student has grown. That is the reason why I teach in the first place. Prior to that, I loved playing in ensembles in large music halls. You feel larger than life.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I've had my most recent student win a first place medal with her wind ensemble at their state contest. I've been working with her to enter a solo piece, but she's very shy and doesn't want to do a solo. I've also encouraged her to do a duet or trio with other flautists and I would help them as they practice. It hasn't happened yet, but I think she's more willing now than a year ago. Here's hoping she can overcome her stage fright.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My aunt thought I had the mouth to play the flute. I also loved the way it sounded. It was a challenging instrument in that one must have a tremendous amount of air flow, as it is not easy to breathe with a flute, it takes stamina and practice.
