Instruments: Trumpet, Bass Guitar
When I was in high school, I was the trumpet section leader for three years, which entailed lots of teaching in terms of marching. I also started giving music lessons to other students, starting with my friends. Giving music lessons spread from there. Since then, I've taught many students how to play guitar, bass guitar, and trumpet. Most of these students only needed a couple lessons to perfect a specific technique or to just get started.

I'm a Tarleton State University graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education. I have the ability to play and teach all brass instruments, with some voice, percussion, and piano instruction.

I currently work as a music teacher for the Creme de la Creme Early Learning Academy in Plano. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, French Horn
My method of teaching is to start students with a strong foundation of buzzing and making characteristic sounds on the horn. This includes buzzing with and without the mouthpiece. Also, my students must be able to read music. Reading music is very important to me, having the students be musically literate with a decent tone will take a student far in their musical career. Any beginning method book will be great such as, Tradition of Excellence or one of the Essential books as long as the student gets practice reading. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Trumpet, Recorder, Music, Keyboard
Some of my students like to use youtube to learn to read music as a video game. It's a fun way to play. (brassified.com) You have a choice of what kind of songs you'd like to play. I had one student once who only wanted to play Patriotic Tunes, so that is what we played. He can play the Star Spangled Banner really well. I prefer the old way of teaching from the use of Simple 3 note songs, progressing note by note. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Clarinet, Synthesizer, Recorder, Euphonium, Mallet Percussion, Orchestral Percussion, Music, Keyboard
During the first lesson, I get to know the student, find out their interests and determine which course will be the best start. The most important thing for all students is to keep the lessons engaging and fun. Piano: For younger beginning students, I typically start with the Alfred Basic Piano Library. Older beginners start with Alfred's All In One Piano Course. For adults, I find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly. Read More
