Music Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Piano, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Clarinet, Synthesizer, Recorder, Euphonium, Mallet Percussion, Orchestral Percussion, Music, Keyboard

I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn. I'm always looking to bring on new students of all ages! Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Music

My favorite thing about teaching is getting to discover how others learn. The approach I use for one student will not always work for another. I think every person has a unique learning style and I love to develop new ways to teach concepts to my students. I work to encourage my students to be an active participant in setting and achieving goals in our work together, while maintaining a fun, positive atmosphere. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Oboe, Music

I love making music and helping students to be confident making music. I know that life can get busy and students won't always be able to practice every day, so I set realistic goals for them and emphasize that even just a little bit of (focused) practice is much better than no practice at all.

Hello! I am a performing musician in a band and teaching skills to students. I play mainly pop and rock music and would love to help train you so you can one day perform as well. I enjoy playing the guitar, singing, and drumming; my strong suit is in songwriting, recording, and performance. I have played guitar since middle school and have played drums since the age of ten. I sing in an indie pop band and create songs that have been released on major streaming platforms. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Bass Guitar, Synthesizer, Music, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I've performed in bands on stage since the age of 16, and have written music for several bands, often as the primary singer, songwriter and front man. Presently I play bass in the death metal band Heretical Sect, who have been featured in Decibel magazine, but my interests in music lie within a spectrum of folk, classical, metal and rock. As a teacher and tutor I engage my students on their level, and find goals within their reach to keep them amped and eager to learn in a multifaceted context of composition, technical skill and performance.  Read More
