Music Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Piano, Music, Keyboard

I began my journey teaching in college when I became a tutor for underclassmen and women who desired extra guidance and insight in certain areas, which included music theory, composition, and performance. Since then I have taught in-home, in-studio, and online lessons regularly for over 5 years. Currently, I have upwards of 40 students of varying ages and levels, all very motivated and engaged in music. Teaching such a diverse circle of students and adapting to their learning styles has proven to be my greatest lesson in music. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Drums, Bass Guitar, Lap Steel Guitar, Banjo, Ukulele, Mandolin, Conga, Latin Percussion, Music, Electric Guitar, Djembe, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

This is where I think it is fun to be creative because we are all different. Everybody has a different method of interpretation and I feel like that is my job to figure out what works for you as an individual. For example I will simply ask you questions like what style of music are you listening to and songs you want to learn how to play. It is also my job to know the difficulty level and how to guide you in the right direction to keep things fun! Read More

Instruments: Voice, Music

My teaching journey began in 2014, when I started offering private online lessons. Over the years, I have had the privilege of guiding students of all ages in singing, music theory, and choral conducting, always with the goal of helping them discover their own voice and love for music. I strongly believe that technology is a powerful tool for learning, and I make full use of it to provide students with engaging resources such as manuals, infographics, practice exercises, progress evaluations, recordings, and study materials.

Instruments: Bass Guitar, Double Bass, Music

My teaching experience dates back to my college days where I was a private instructor and jazz ensemble coach for a youth program in Bloomington, Indiana. I have since been involved both with private instruction as well as a music director for jazz ensembles as well as pop/rock groups. I emphasize a regular practice routine with guided focus and principles that will help all levels of musicians reach their goals. Read More

Instruments: Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba, Music

For Beginner, I usually use Hal Leonard's Essential book for younger students and Rubank's elementary book for older students. These books can use up to intermediate students and some easy solo pieces from the trombone gems collection by H.A. VanderCook. For intermediate to advanced students playing trombone for more than two years, I would use Melodious Etudes for Trombone Selected from the Vocalises of Marco Bordogni book one and Arban Complete Method for Trombone and Euphonium.
