I believe in making teaching fun and tend to try to break larger skills into smaller bite sized pieces that build upon one another. My goal is to allow students to pursue their musical interests while also making sure a solid foundation is being established in terms of the way music actually works (music theory) and what types of motions allow for efficient and safe production of sound (technique). I encourage composition and creative play at all levels of musical development. Read More

I graduated in 2011 from SMU with my music degree in Trumpet Performance, and have been teaching privately in the Dallas area ever since. Although while at SMU my focus was mainly on orchestral playing and classical techniques, I am equally comfortable playing jazz and commercial styles, and honestly probably play those styles just as much as I do orchestral work now. I love teaching lessons and view each student as a unique way to approach the instrument. Read More

In all classes it is essential to establish a technique routine that let students grown up quickly in musical performance. Scales, arpeggios, articulations, intensities, and specific elements to each one instrument have to be part of daily routine. It is important too to maintain motivation and inspiration through interesting musical pieces to the learner and that represents challenges to go step by step. In French Horn classes (my main speciality, beginners to advance level) beginners can start with methods as First Steps for Horn (Brown), Rubank elementary, The French Horn Step by Step (Macri), Maxime Alphonse, Kopprash, Kling.

I first started teaching private lessons on a routine basis starting in 2016 while I was in school. Having finished my degree, I currently teach full time with a studio of over 30 students in grades 5 through 12. I have learned an incredible amount from teaching students how to play the trumpet, I tell many of my students that I have learned just as much from them as they have from me. I still take private lessons from teachers around the central Texas area and beyond when I can work it into my schedule so that I can keep learning and passing on whatever I learn to my students.

How did I start teaching? I began working with local high school kids while doing my undergraduate degree in music performance. What types of students have I worked with? All kinds and levels. From complete beginners to college music majors. What is my typical process for working with a new student? Evaluate where they are at in their musical development and then determine the best course of study. What do I enjoy about this work? Read More

I have a few students who are homeschooled and can meet with me early in the day, and even at the later evening. I am very flexible. You don't have to have a lesson weekly because I know how busy life can be. Teaching online through Zoom, is a convenient way for me to teach and for my students to learn and it has been a reward for me and my students. Read More
