Violin Lessons in Fentress, TX

Instruments: Violin Viola Recorder Fiddle

I strive to help every student achieve their desired goal in each lesson, even if they only want to play music for fun. Additionally, I am open to helping students learn various styles of music as long as they can bring written out sheet music. I taught a couple of adult recorder students in the past, and each of them has improved on their instrument as a result of my teaching. Read More

Instruments: Violin Cello Viola Double Bass

I found myself wanting to teach students, of all ages- anyone that had a desire to learn the cello. With regard to my private studio, I teach using the traditional method. I believe every student needs a foundation of classical music. If a student wishes to learn other genres, I am happy to support those interests as well. I teach music primarily through reading. I incorporate some ear training. I also teach music theory and music history within a given lesson, because it is my believe that theory and history assist students in having a greater understanding of why they are performing what they are and how to interpret the work.

For beginning students who have no experience on their instrument, I usually spend a fair chunk of time working on basic technique using books like the Essential Elements series or Greg Horne's similar books for folk instruments. I usually combine the book material with other songs/pieces relevant to each student's interests. For more advanced students, I usually find a mix of repetoire relevant to their interests and technical exercises for them to refine and develop technique. Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin Music Keyboard

My teaching experience starts back to my beginning years of college days. I start began teaching as private lesson instructor at my previous college community music school.

I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
