Instruments: Saxophone
I have been playing saxophone for 16 years, and got both of my bachlor and master degree in classical saxophone performance. I have had a lot of performing experience during these years. Now i am working on my first doctoral degree in University of North Texas, being a student of Dr. Eric Nestler. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone
Originally from Dallas, TX, I was always interested in music but never thought of it as more than a hobby. I was a solo performer playing shows around the Dallas/Fort Worth area and in a popular Salsa band for years before I finally decided to get back into school and see where this musical journey would take me. In 2017, I graduated with honors from Fort Lewis College and finally in 2020 I received my Masters degree in Jazz Performance and Pedagogy from The University of Colorado-Boulder. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Piccolo Keyboard
My methods of teaching are teaching what and how to practice. The basic ingredients in music are scales and chords and space. I am a firm believer of playing with a rhythm section from the beginning. Because of this, I use devices such as playing with tracks, myself, and other people. I provide audio and visual examples using recordings and videos. It is a myth that, with music, you either have it or you don't. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone
I have multiple books to work from based on the age and skill level of the student. I work fundamentals with all levels and can teach topics from multiple angles. My music library is expanding and becoming more diverse so that I give work solos with all of my students. I keep track of lessons and set a plan for each student in order to maintain forward progress. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
They had a tenor sax that they let me play and I was hooked! I made the top ensemble after my first semester and never looked back. I made region band every year after that and earned 1st divisions on all my ensembles and solos. I played 1st tenor in the jazz band in High School and started to think I could do this for a long time. I got a scholarship to UTA and marched with them for a few years while I concentrated on classical saxophone and studied jazz. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium French Horn Tuba Oboe
I have been a music educator in the public schools for over 40 years having taught in Austin, Texas and currently in Fort Worth, Texas. Many of my students have gone to play their instruments in college bands throughout the state. Several former students are currently teaching music at the secondary and college level. I do not approach my teaching to focus on a student's future as a musician. All make individual choices on musical endeavors. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
Clarinet: Any beginning band method book, Baermann, Klose, Voxman. At advanced levels I will use appropriate repertoire and advanced method books tailored to the student. Saxophone/flute: Any beginning band method book or standard beginning to intermediate woodwind book. Appropriate repertoire. Piano: I use most beginning methods, including Alfred, Bastien, Piano Adventures (Faber), and other standard piano methods. I use those appropriate to age, goals, and learning style (for instance, chord methods are sometimes better for adults). Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My grandfather taught me how to play trumpet when I was eight years old. And then I didn’t play again until high school. Since my middle school didn’t have band, I was highly discouraged from playing my trumpet - the only times I played were the super easy solos from Disney movies for my sister. Once I started high school, I realized I didn’t learn much at all from when I was initially taught how to play. During high school I started to actually learn how to play well and work on exercises; but even then I wasn’t aware of any lessons teachers in my area so I didn’t really care about trumpet that much. A new band director came to my school my senior year and had jazz band, which I really enjoyed but I still gave up on trumpet after high school because I was too afraid to perform. Once I got into college, I was pretty much forced to perform, which made me realize my fear was so easy to overcome! It was then that I realized I was so lucky to have my grandfather give me a trumpet that started a spark in my life; even though it was a little delayed.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My proudest moment was my senior recital. I organized the entire performance with trumpet literature, some unconvential trumpet literature (Rikai by Adam Cuthbert), vocal jazz, and classical opera. Everything I did in college all came together, and it felt like the culmination of all the hard work I did. Playing in Carnegie Hall was a wonderful experience, just being in the hall was incredible as much it was beautiful; it was an amazing opportunity and a life-changer. I also had the amazing opportunity to tour with the tarleton jazz band in Italy on trumpet and vocals! Another proud moment was playing with the trumpet ensemble at the national trumpet competition. Going there with my friends with whom I worked so hard with was fantastic and it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. My university gave me a lot of amazing opportunities and I am so grateful.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
One of my students advanced to area, and then state in her solo literature! I taught her from day one, when she couldn’t buzz in a mouthpiece. Watching her grow is one of the best and proudest feelings that I’ve ever felt. She had a lot of obstacles and didn’t practice very much in the beginning, but with some hard work and motivation, we made trumpet a priority for her. She was my very first student; and my guinea pig. I grew just as much as she did, me as a teacher, and her as a trumpet player. I love watching my students grow and fall in love with music, and I cant wait to teach more students.
