Piano Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Piano, Flute, Clarinet

For flute, clarinet, and saxophone I generally start with the methods that they use in band, for example Yamaha method and I decide after the first few lessons what they need help with and assign more music from there. I also talk to the students about what kinds of music they like to play and try to find music that has cd accompaniment making it fun to play at home and also developing their listening skills.

Instruments: Piano, Voice

Through experience, I have specialized in teaching to the students needs. I believe that students should be involved in setting goals and deciding what direction their lessons will take.
