Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Drums

I am the students greatest motivator. I love to bring out the best in all of my students and help them discover things about their musical capacities that they never have before. I am highly enthusiastic and believe that every one learns at their own pace. Its never about how quickly you learn something, but about how well you learn it, even if it takes time. I like to acknowledge the students progress and their accomplishments because I believe it helps the student to have the desire to keep learning and progressing. Read More

My teaching style is very different depending on what works for each student so they can learn quick and easy and still make it fun for them. I encourage a lot of my students to have goals on why they want to learn guitar and I will help them achieve their goals and more. With that said I am very demanding when it comes to practice and being ready for each lesson to learn and get better at the guitar. Read More

I attended St. Olaf College for my undergraduate degree and did a Bachelor's of Music in Trumpet Performance and Bachelor's of Arts in Music Theory/Composition. After graduating in 2009, I volunteered for a year as a music teacher in rural Malaysia. Upon returning to the US, I did a Master's of Music at Eastman School of Music before working as a teacher and freelancer in Singapore for two years. I love playing and teaching all kinds of music!

Instruments: Guitar Voice Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I have several methods, but mostly I teach to sing based on solfeage and songs, either italian, german, latin, spanish, and french. Solfeage helps the student to understand better sheet music and also helps understand the real emotion of the piece, among other things involved in a piece. For guitar I use Hal Leonard guitar method. I think that it is important to learn music and how to read it with your instrument. Read More

I am a cellist and guitarist from El Paso, TX. I studied at Baylor University working towards a Bachelor of Music Education. I have been private teaching for five years and have received glowing reviews from all my past students. I have also student taught in Frisco, one of the fastest growing cities in Texas. Along with this, I am passionate for students receiving a music education. If selected I will take the time and energy necessary to make sure that each student receives a thorough understanding of all things music, including history, playing technique, and even some theory.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

I generally do not teach directly from a book. I only use them as guides. I always felt that was the lazy way of doing things. A book doesn't know the student. I find that students of any age, learn and adapt to teaching in different ways and speeds. I start from the very bottom and we build every lesson, using previous lessons as building blocks. I take pride in teaching the way that works best for you or your child. Read More

Instruments: Voice

I began in teaching in early 2000 when I realized the joy of helping to develop others to use the natural gifts they were born with.  Most people don't realize how talented they really are until someone shows them. Some teachers follow a strict approach but we provide ourselves in taking students to the next level by customizing their lesson plan. We chart these out with the students best interests in mind.
