Music Lessons in Geronimo, TX

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola

I have various methods. Really it depends on age when it comes to piano. 4-5 year olds I use Music For Little Mozarts or the Alfred Series. When teaching violin, viola, and cello I use Essential Elements for Strings and also the Suzuki books Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I started teaching back in 1995 due to repeated requests from customers at the music store where I was working retail at the time. Turned out to be the best decision I ever made as I left the retail world within 1 more year and never went back. When I was growing up I did not have a teacher which is why I love being able to do this so much. "Be Who You Needed When You Were Younger" has been an incredibly rewarding path for both me and my students. Read More

Instruments: Drums

Hi, my name is Mike. I am from Boerne, TX and got a degree in Music Marketing from the University of Texas at San Antonio. I played the trumpet in middle school, high school, and it was my primary instrument in college. I have also been playing the percussion, particularly drum set, for 15 years and it is still my favorite thing to do. I am apart of several classic rock bands where I perform locally and in surrounding cities. Read More

Instruments: Piano

My teaching style is one in which students will feel comfortable, relaxed, and self motivated. I am patient, encouraging, and flexible with my students. They will set short and long range music goals and will have fun practicing their lessons and working to reach their goals. All students are different and will learn at a different pace. I praise my students for their accomplishments and hard work. It is very important to me that my students leave their piano sessions feeling happy and looking forward to their next piano lesson session. Read More

Instruments: Violin

I'm a pasionate and hard working violinist and teacher who is always striving for the best from myself and my students. I am currently in the second year of my Masters in Violin Performance at Texas State University. In addition to my scholarly duties, I am also a member of the Graduate String quartet at Texas State. Chamber music is a passion of mine and it is my hope that each of my students will find something that they can be passionate about. Read More

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

I love the Bass guitar and Double Bass and it is my goal to find and teach the students who have this same passion for the instrument. In my opinion, the bass is the most essential instrument in ANY ensemble and so if you learn to play the bass well enough you are on the track for success in any genre you wish to play. I am a very relaxed individual and this transfers to my teaching style. Read More

Instruments: Voice

Before the first lesson I always like to inquire with the student (Parent/Guardian) if the student has taken lessons in the past, in order to better teach, and assign practice material. However, if a student has never taken lessons before, I recommend to young students the Alfred's Basic Piano Lessons Book 1, and for my adult students I will send supplemental materials via email, but also encourage that they purchase in the future, "Essential Piano Repertoire" Level two by Keith Snell.
