Piano Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Piano, Flute, Piccolo, Music

My teaching experience dates back to my high school days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 8 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 3 years. Lessons and master class performances throughout the nation with such artists as Ian Clarke, Jim Walker, Leone Buyse and more have given me a range of professional viewpoints and inspired my teaching and performance. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument.

Instruments: Piano, Voice

Although my expertise is in performance, vocal technique, musical analysis, theory, and principle applications of classical music, 10 years of experience has taught me that the arts encompass every aspect of our lives. Through music, literature, and the arts, I endeavor to inspire children and adults alike to learn at play, to give and grow, explore and discover. I believe that every moment of a young persons life is an opportunity for growth and enrichment. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Organ

My teaching experience, on the individual and private level, goes back to my college days where I would tutor other students in piano to pass their keyboard barriers.  While in the active duty military (I'm retired now), I provided private lessons to children and adults in my available time.  It is important to remember that a student's individual practice time is invaluable; the lesson time is NOT supposed to be the first time to be reviewing an assigned piece!

I've been a musician for more than ten years, and have performed and taught in a variety of different venues. In 2018, I graduated from Oral Roberts University with a Bachelor of Music degree in Guitar Performance with a focus on Classical Guitar. I've been teaching for six years, and have always enjoyed getting to share my love of music with others! Few things are more satisfying to me than getting to witness a student with a passion for music try their best week after week, and see how amazed they are at their own progress! Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Keyboard, Acoustic Guitar

I focus on indvidualizing the lesson to the student. Every student has different goals, dreams, and personalities. I typically use the Faber Books for piano, Hal Leonard for guitar and ukulele, and I work in sight-reading with my voice students. I also work in music theory when appropriate, and enjoy explaining the "why" behind how music works. I'm also a singer-songwriter and have tunes on Spotify Apple Music. I write and produce my own songs and have had my compositions performed frequently. Read More
