Music Lessons in Rillito, AZ

Instruments: Clarinet Music

I am new to teaching, especially online. I begin teaching in my early college days as a freshman/sophomore to those I knew who would reach out to me for lessons. They were my acquaintances. We went through mostly preliminary skills, embouchure, consistent tone, tuning, knowing how you play and how your clarinet functions. Though keep in mind this was a couple years ago. Through ensembles and playing in a clarinet studio I feel I have developed a solid background. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar

I believe in teaching music theory as well as technic and expression, no matter how young the student is. I believe the piano is a wonderful springboard to learning and exploring other instruments.For piano the student will study out of the theory and lesson books. Other types of finger excersizes and supplemental music will be used, there is a ton of free music online!I may also use other aides to teach the student such as flashcards, musical games, note finders, andcomputer games and sites.For the guitar I typically use Mel Bay's Modern Guitar Method but then Ialso use lots of music found online free.

Instruments: Piano

For beginning and intermediate lessons I use Faber Piano Adventures. Once a student shows the ability to work independently I move on to more standard teaching literature that follows the Royal Conservatory levels from preparatory to level 10. I use theory as a way to enhance lessons depending on the seriousness of the student. I also incorporate technique and scales as a supplement when a student shows motivation and adequate practice.

Instruments: Violin Viola

Patience is the key. It is the fundamental requirement of a string teacher. I believe I am the most patient teacher you can find in Arizona. I taught 1 student with ADD, and I developed his talent on music. After 2 years training with me, his concentration had been improved significantly, and he played 2 recitals successfully. Read More

Instruments: Drums

I am an extremely passionate musician. I specialize in the drums. I have been playing drums since 1995 and performing on a professional level since 2003. Rock music is my forte, however, I can pretty much play and teach any modern style. I've had international success with my band "Blues". Read More

Instruments: Piano

I love teaching piano to young ones and watch their convidence grow. I remember when at the age of 8, learning piano that my enthusiaism was overflowing, My instructor was strictly classical and I discovered Boogie. I was so dissappointed not to broaden my horizons and we parted ways. Music appreciation in public school gave me a wide range of influence to choose from. Sharing with other musicians also gave me experience to grow. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet

This is how the great masters play. Why does it look and sound easy for them? Because it is! If it is not easy for you, then you are doing something that can be improved upon. This applies whether you are playing music or any sport, juggling, riding a unicycle, etc. In my science-based approach to the trumpet, we do what we absolutely have to in order to find the sound and not one thing more.
