Instruments: Piano Organ
I am a recent graduate from the University of North Texas where I obtained a masters degree in organ performance. I am currently a church organist and have been playing the organ since the age of 16 and piano since the age of 12. I have had many performance opportunities both as a pianist and as an organist performing as a soloist and as a collaborator. I have a BM in music education and have had experience teaching students of all ages in voice, piano, and organ. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I love to see my students develop a passion for music, but moreover to develop the great self confidence that comes from beginning to play an instrument and sing. Lessons should be enjoyable and also focus some attention to the things that will help the student achieve all that they are wanting to accomplish in the long term. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I taught high school choral music for over 20 years in Southern California. I have been teaching private piano for the last 15 years, the past 4 years in my piano studio and prior to that, 10 years with the Frisco School of Music in Frisco TX. I am a member of Music Teachers National Associaton, Texas Music Teachers Assocation, and locally, the Denton Music Teachers Association. I have played much jazz in my experience as a pianist, therefore am able to offer instruction in jazz and improvisation. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Drums French Horn
For kids, I'll start with easy but basic notes and chords. I try to make it fun like learning songs they might know. For young adults to adults, I'll do the same but on their level and the expectation is much higher than kids. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been playing the piano for 10 years, but have been involved in the musical institution for much longer than that. I have been shaping minds young and old in piano technique and music theory for the last seven years. And, I believe I am an ideal teacher for anyone just starting out to those who are trying to continue from where they left off. I have been afforded the pleasure of performing in many of my University's recitals and concerts as a solo pianist and ensemble piece. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I believe in learning the fundamentals but I believe that experience should be enjoyable. That's why we "play" music in the first place! This can mean different things to different students but a focus on positive reinforcement and encouragement toward specific musical goals will always be the guiding factor in my approach. I also encourage students to take ownership of the musical skills learned by experimenting with composition and improvisation. Read More
Instruments: Piano Accordion Keyboard
I've got a huge experience for all my teaching and performing life... My lessons are for all ages. I worked with young and old, from ages 6 till 90, and each lesson is tailored to the student's age and ability. After first lesson I can see what method I can use for that student. Young kids I prefer to teach by classical music pattern paying attention to technical stuff increasing technic (scales, chords, arpeggios, etudes...) Students in old ages go through more easy reading song, their favorite, using Hal Leonard's books with names keys....Everything is dependent on for sure... Read More
Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Harmonica Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
The next instrument that made the makt sense to play was bass. I would not consider myself a great bass player, but what I do try to do when I play is fulfill the roll of a bass player, and try not to sound like a guitar player who picked up a bass. It started when I would tinker around on my friend’s bass, and I eventually got my own. Additionally, I always loved hopping on a drumset go knock out a few beats. About 7 years into playing music, I got my own drumset, and would also play somewhat consistently on a practice pad. My first instrument was piano, but learning music theory creates a necessity for getting better at the instrument. My sight reading is not very good, but I do have a pretty good ability to convert theoretical ideas I’ve learned on the guitar to the piano. I’ve also found that it is useful to learn new patterns on the guitar by playing them on a keyboard. Finally, the harmonica started as something I very casually played in high school, then in the last few years I learned enough techniques on it to feel comfortable playing the blues and along to different songs. I also have a chromatic harp, but it is a little more difficult for me to make music with.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
As briefly mentioned before, my dad initially wanted to go into college studying classical piano. He chose a career in medicine instead, as he placed second in a piano competition in which the first place winner received a scholarship to study music. He was also involved in choir in high school, and played some guitar. My mother sang and also played piano from a very young age. Both of my brothers took classical piano lessons from age 5 to 18, and performed beautifully complex pieces from Chopin to Greig.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was apparent from the first time I played a guitar that I was deeply in love, but there was one defining moment in high school where I believed it would be a possibility. I hadn’t been playing guitar for about 9 months, and was obsessed with Led Zeppelin, and Jimmy Page’s abilities. I had been working tirelessly on developing technique and teaching myself scales, and I decided to push myself by learning the solo to the song “Heartbreaker.” I spent a few weeks on it, and was able to play it note for note. It was at this moment that I realized I had a knack for the guitar more than I had perhaps understood before, and from that point forward, I knew that I wanted to pursue music professionally.
