Music Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Voice, Music

My teaching method is centered on creating personalized lesson plans that adapt to each student’s vocal range, learning pace, and musical goals. I believe that music should be both educational and enjoyable, so I encourage students to work on songs they truly love while integrating vocal techniques that strengthen their abilities. This approach helps keep lessons engaging and motivates students to practice consistently. To support learning, I provide a variety of custom resources, including manuals, infographics, vocal exercises, recordings, and written progress evaluations. Read More

For beginners, I like to start by teaching some basic versions of songs that you love. I will also start out teaching some basic chords and strumming patterns. I can show you the proper way to hold and play your instrument so that it is comfortable and sustainable. I will also be teaching you some scales which you can use to play any song you hear. Did you know that once you learn the major scale, almost every song you hear will fall on that scale? Read More

Instruments: Piano, Music, Keyboard, Djembe

For beginners, it's important to build from a solid foundation, so I emphasize on creating a strong understanding of musical concepts. From there, the student is able to decide on the direction they would like to move towards, classical, pop, etc. I typically teach through the Alfred methods, but am also flexible & have experience from teaching through additional materials that work best for the student. For students with previous musical experience, we decide together if the student would like to continue with their current curriculum or move in a different direction. Read More

I am a dedicated and passionate instructor who wants to help students, regardless of background and opportunity. I want to share my music passion with the world. In 2019, I graduated from Trinity University in San Antonio, TX with a Bachelor of Music degree with a double major in Instrumental Music Education and Spanish. I have gotten the chance to perform at the International Tuba Euphonium Festival at Emory University in Atlanta, GA back in summer 2017 to become a better tuba player and overall brass player.

Instruments: Trombone, Euphonium, Music

My methods are fairly simple. No matter the age or experience level, fundamentals are key. This includes proper embouchure, good posture, effective warm ups, and a consistent practice routine. Once the fundamentals are secure, especially for younger students, I like to move on to more "fun" music, such as Rochut etudes or beginner level solo music. Besides fundamentals I believe the most important element in playing brass instruments successfully is confidence. Read More
