Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Bass Guitar Synthesizer Double Bass Music Keyboard

I was born in Marshall, Texas. I received my Bachelor of Music and my Master of Fine Arts in Music Education from Stephen F. Austin State University. I've spent seven years in public schools in the surrounding Houston area before coming on to teach with KIPP Houston Public Schools in 2012. My primary instrument is violin/viola under the training of Dr. Isidor Saslav, but spend my weekends on bass for community events and local performances. Read More

Instruments: Violin Electric Violin Fiddle

As a teacher, I am invested in the success of each of my students. I work with them to assess their unique strengths and weaknesses, and I build a lesson plan to help them achieve their individual goals. I believe that studying music should be both fun and rewarding, so I strive to encourage and motivate my students in each lesson. While I know that not every student will become a professional violinist, I hope my lessons will inspire a lifelong appreciation of music that will enrich my students for the rest of their lives.

Instruments: Voice Violin Viola Fiddle

I'm a Suzuki-trained violinist and singer, a graduate of the University of Houston, and have studied music for the majority of my life! I'm based in Houston and have performed in opera and with various musical theater companies in the Houston area. Even though I've focused on classical music for most of my career, I love branching out into different styles, particularly Celtic, Texan, Jewish, Romani, and even a bit of Zydeco. Read More

Instruments: Violin Viola

Moreover, now I have progressed into teaching high school students who plays viola in more advanced level such as trying to audition for texas all state orchestra, state solo and ensemble, assigned etudes, book exercises, and scales. I encourage students to be open with me if they have any problems in playing their violin/viola, feeling overwhelmed with music, and/or feeling uncomfortable/shy when playing their instrument. It is very important to address these situations in order to make sure the student feels comfortable playing the violin/viola, knows how to overcome their obstacles, and most of all, feeling confident and passionate.

Instruments: Violin Viola

Depending on students age and ability, I use different kind of methods. For students that are new to music I usually start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements, this book is really good to start to learn about music and the instrument, and then Suzuki method for repertoire. For more advanced students I like to set learning steps, that way my students can achieve goals quickly and feel more engaging to practice. Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin

For beginner students, i typically like to work with the tried and true Suzuki books, as well as theory practice with Essential Elements for violin, and the Faber books for pianists. I will begin to introduce solo work as skills build, but we will always be working on something that the student genuinely is interested in. For adults/ intermediate or advanced students i try to find what the student is interested in and guide my instruction accordingly to keep lessons fun and engaging while also slightly challenging to further understanding of technical abilities.

Teacher In Spotlight

Walt W

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Well, the ability to be a musician as a profession is even harder now than when I was a kid. I become a teaching assistant dealing with special education students. Through this, I have actually taught a child with autism to play the guitar. However, I play in historic homes during the holiday times. These tours have people guided through older homes and I accompany their visits with music. Our joys and goals change with age and maturity. However ,music and guitar will always be a part of life and I will never forget the dreams I had when I was young.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite style of music today would have to be blues slide. This style of guitar and music traces itself back to the early early roots of America. If you look closely on You Tube, you may be able to find performances of the blues greats. These men and women could feel the music and it came out through their instruments and voices. Also, at this point in my musical life, I write and play my own music as well. Through this all of the different styles of music I have learned seem to come out in one way or another. I am proud when other musicians like my music enough to play it themselves..

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Well, because of needs when being in a band, you learn to play what you do not have. Because of this fact, I have played drums and base occasionally as well as guitar. I cannot say that I am a drummer. I have never owned a drum set, but I have filled in many times. However, I started playing base because of the previous reason and became quite proficient. I found that I could improvise and really enjoy playing this instrument. I also found that it was a great deal easier to sing as the lead singer in a band while playing.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
My decision to become a professional musician was there right from the start. I listened and watched my favorite bands. What I wanted most in life was to be like them. However, air guitar was never enough for me and I am not someone who does not quit trying. So, after my first lessons, I made the decision that I was going to have a band and be a performer. This is not for everyone. Playing in front of people is vert difficult for some, but I am not shy and at the age of 15, I had formed my first band. We did not become huge rock stars, but I still love to play in front of people and it does not take much to get me out in front and do it.

...Here’s some good questions to think about when it comes to finding out who’ll make a good fit for your project:   How experienced are they?   The amount of experience you should look for in a musician completely depends on the style and character of the band you’re trying to form.

...process of pruning. However, the brain has great plasticity, and we can certainly continue to learn new skills at various stages of life. But just as it is said that learning a foreign language is easier as a child, the same is true of the musical language.   Think of the ways a child learns to speak. She listens, she explores, she babbles, she imitates, she observes to make connections between sounds and symbols. This goes on and on until she finally connects the word “ball” to the round rubber thing the dog catches and eventually forms her mouth correctly to make ... Read More
