Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
Nothing makes me happier than seeing a student develop the same passion for music that I have. It is very important to me that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting goals at each lesson, by a deadline, etc. Acknowledging accomplisments helps fuel a students desire to progress and makes them eager to learn more. Finding what inspires the student is the best possible way to tailor each lesson to their wants and needs. Read More

My method for all my students is for them to be classically trained so learning the notes on the fretboard, proper technique and note reading. I use Christopher Parkening's Guitar method Book I to help my students learn the proper technique to play and for them to learn the notes in first position on the guitar and on the staff and beginner chord reading using chord diagrams at first and then showing them the chords on the staff.

Instruments: Piano
I'm a pianist, I've been playing playing the piano since I was 10 years old, currently 25 years old. A major highlight in my musical education was attending the high school for performing and visual arts in Houston Texas where I studied under Mr. Morales who shares my last name. I've performed with various chamber groups but I have spent my time mostly doing solo work. I consider myself primarily as a classical musician though I do enjoy various genres of music like jazz, and blues. Read More

Instruments: Piano
My experience in teaching has been mainly focused on voluntary work, in teaching close friends, family and friends. I have always wanted to teach the joys of Classical Music to all ages. I have encouraged those of my teaching, to always have a consistency and regular practice so that with patience and time, they will see not only improvement but will also developed a passion for the instrument. I think that the key to becoming a piano virtuoso is having fun while learning, being patient, determined, persistent, and consistent. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Guitar has always been my first love. I love to sing and so it became a natural progression for me. In the 80’s however, an accident took my left ring finger out of the equation. I worked very hard to work around this handicap and now I play guitar better than ever today. My mentor for years kept trying to convince me to switch to bass guitar because of this handicap. He turned me on to a book called the Evolving Bassist by Rufus Reid and quoted a passage that essentially said Bass players only need three fingers. I gave in and never looked back. I still play guitar often but have found a new voice in the bottom end. I no longer have to compete with much better four fingered guitar players and have become a much better lead player in the process.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
After losing a finger on my string hand in a machining accident, I spent years trying to make a comeback. I am proud of myself for having the fortitude to retrain my hand to do with three fingers what it knew with four. With hard work I have become much better than I ever thought of being before the accident. I believe as far as personal accomplishment, I think there has been no greater joy than to be able to bring others into a place of joy and happiness and worship. Music has a way of getting inside you and for me, playing, teaching, and performing create in me a feeling that I am doing what I was born to do. Not all of us reach the pinnacle of success in music but that is not what it is about for me. We are on a great mountain here. Some reach the summit, others continue the climb. My hope is to help my students get a leg up on that climb by helping arming them with the tools to reach their personal and professional goals. Being able to effectively give this to others I think is my greatest musical achievement.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Over the years I cannot recall if any of my students have received special honors or rewards but I do know many of them have gone on to be fine musicians, instructors, and worship pastors. As I have gotten older it has been quite enjoyable to watch as the "changing of the guard" has occurred. They are not kids anymore and they have taken the mantle of leadership well. I am proud to be a part of the foundation has led to successful application of their talents. It is a silent, unseen reward for me, but it is one of the most fulfilling award I have ever received.
