Music Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Piano, Music, Keyboard

Passion, Patience, and Encouragement. While scales, arpeggios, and technical exercises are central to every pianist's training, I'm a believer in fostering a student's love of music first and foremost. Without the curiosity and love of music fueling our practice it can become work rather than what its meant to be.. play. My approach to teaching is to introduce passion for music through patience and encouragement. Through this window we'll explore the infinite landscape and, indeed, the infinite freedom music has to offer.  Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Music, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

My life's work is to spread the joy of learning and playing music and helping all who wish to learn to hone or to obtain the skills needed to do just that. I have successfully done so professionally for the past 20 years. I deeply listen and observe the student's needs and respond to each individual with an approach that best suits their goals and have helped dozens of students of all ages bring out the inner-musician in themselves.

My teaching style is just like most I think. I don't rush with the students. Always trying to go slow and make sure the students understands everything. I've gotten pretty good at figuring out when the students get what I'm trying to teach. If I feel like I'm going to fast I'll stop think about what I'm doing and slow down. It's easy to talk to fast and rush as a teacher because I've taught so many students. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Music

Whenever I meet with someone, I feel it's always best to get to know them and ask them "why music?". From there it sparks a conversation, and we start setting goals - which is super important! This is how we check in with ourselves along the way to make sure that the student is getting the most out of their lessons. I will also ask them questions about their practice regimen (if they already have one) and come up with improvements to help them practice more efficiently. Read More

Instruments: Clarinet, Music

In my experience scales and exercises seems to be very beneficial, its something that cannot have last priority, as these are what make up your playing. I also will likely give one etude of mine or your choice per week or two. Also having a repertoire piece is vital, something to demonstrate skills, this can also be represented through ensemble pieces. I will to do my best for you since I am very passionate about music and specifically clarinet! Read More
