Music Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Piano, Music

I have taught piano since my college days. I have seen the student's joy and pride through his/her musical accomplishment. Not only do I teach how to play the keyboard, but focus on the understanding of the music being played because that truly is the key (no pun intended) to successful learning.

On another level, learning music positively impacts the development of my younger students in math, analysis, coordination, language, and discipline. Read More

For beginners, it's important to build from a solid foundation, so I emphasize on creating a strong understanding of musical concepts.

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Music, Keyboard

As stated before, my first goal is to help the student feel comfortable in the lesson. I find that without this, a student will have a hard time succeeding. I myself am classically trained. This is also how I like to train my students. With a classical base training, a student can succeed in any style of music. I like to give the student a combination of a classical song and a current song they love. Read More
