Music Lessons Southwest

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

I've taught music, when my schedule has allowed, for more than 40 years. I've always enjoyed teaching. I feel that there is an implicit obligation to pass musical knowledge on to others.  I have a lot to give to my students from my experience both in music and in life. I am comfortable teaching any musical style or genre. I have played professionally with all types of acts from old time country to current pop and hip hop. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Double Bass, Tuba, Music, Electric Guitar

I love the Bass guitar and Double Bass and it is my goal to find and teach the students who have this same passion for the instrument. In my opinion, the bass is the most essential instrument in ANY ensemble and so if you learn to play the bass well enough you are on the track for success in any genre you wish to play. I am a very relaxed individual and this transfers to my teaching style. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Cello, Music

Music theory and aural skills are of the utmost importance to me, and I look to enforce them in every aspect of music studies. I strongly believe in adapting curriculum to what works best for each individual student. I understand that each student is unique; therefore, their studies should be specialized for their interests and goals. For younger students (ages three to six), I focus on rhythm, coordination, motor skills, and exposure to classical music in fun and unique ways. Read More

Instruments: Voice, Saxophone, Flute, Piccolo, Bassoon, Music

Since lessons are tailored to the individual student's goals, it's going to be a little more laid back. Success is measured differently for each student. It is, however indescribably rewarding when the student suddenly "get's it."  When the things you've been teaching all come together and they're no longer playing note, but they're making music.  I'll admit, it's because of this that beginners are really my favorites to work with.

Instruments: Piano, Trombone, Flute, Clarinet, Oboe, Bassoon, Music

I don't have many official teaching experiences, except for my student observing classes. For a class we had to drive to some middle school and high school for a year, attend about 4hrs and help the bands in these schools. I was able to help at Robstown High School and Seale middle school, and got the opportunity to help their clarinet sections as much as possible. I also attended HMK High school and Gillette Middle School, here I was able to work with all instrument players but focus more on music theory. Read More
