Music Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Cello, Viola, Music

My teaching experience is primarily in one on one or small group settings. I have taught several students as young as 10 years old. It is my experience that a student's approach to their instrument varies with their age. The more time one spends with an instrument, the more one expects to have a certain sound. I believe it is important to emphasize not comparing oneself to others. This goes hand and hand with my approach to teaching in that it focuses on the individual wants and needs of the student.

I have been teaching privately since 2007. I am a passionate instructor who loves working and playing with students. In 2016, I graduated from the University of New Mexico with a Master of Music degree in Flute and Piano performance. I also earned a Bachelor of Music in Instrumental Music Education with a flute emphasis from the University of Arizona under the tutelage of Brian Luce in 2009. I have had the great opportunities to performed at the 2007 and 2016 National Flute Association Convention with the Professional Flute Choirs Flutefinity Flute Ensemble and Golden Flute Choir.

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 method is a give-and-take. The more the student is able to put into the lessons the more I will be able to help them out. We will focus on learning some fundamental concepts and learning songs from artists the student loves. Each week the student will be assigned something to work on depending on their skills and then there will be a check in the next week to see how they did and how much or how little they worked on that task.

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Organ, Synthesizer, Accordion, Music

As I previously mentioned I believe that every student is unique in how they learn, their musical goals, the time they have to devote to music, etc. Having the luxury of teaching one to one enables me to teach the individual. In addition to teaching conventional music theory, reading, writing, et al, I also teach improvisation and playing by ear. I've known musicians who are incredible technicians - they can play any piece of music put in front of them perfectly. Read More
