Music Lessons in New Deal, TX

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone

Depending on my analysis of a, diagnostic, first lesson, I would assign a method book that is appropriate to the students needs. I have worked with many different method books, but the Essential Elements books are valuable because of the audio CD that is included with the books. The CD allows the student to play along with a recorded instrument which is valuable for beginningstudents when they practice at home away from the instructor. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet French Horn

I create my own custom lesson plans upon each students needs/wants. After an assessment of skills I create a plan to help the student harness in on the things that need work and polish the skill sets that are already there. Usually, I pick a good series of lesson books that we will work through together. If it is an entirely new student I work at things one at a time to make sure we're getting in all the basics and fundamentals needed for the more advanced skills. Read More
