Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students succeed in whatever they are passionate about. Whether that be making their Broadway Debut or learning to love music as much as I do. I encourage my students to set realistic goals for themselves at each lesson. I like to make each lesson fun but productive. I like to find commonalities in what I am teaching to their everyday life. With my years of experience both on the stage and off, I know I can give you or your child the very best training one has to offer! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard
With my piano students, I prefer to use John Thompson’s piano method books, along with performance study, listening, and impromptu music theory/acoustics lessons when the subjects arise. Depending on the practice habits of the student, they should have at least 2-3 non-method book solo pieces prepared within a year’s time. Each lesson is tailored to what he student enjoys, finds challenging, and ultimately will benefit from. My vocal students will find lessons crafted specifically to their current vocal abilities, working on a wholistic approach to singing including acting, prana, yoga, health and fitness, self confidence, lifestyle coaching, and of course, the act of singing!

I begin with a meeting. A meeting about you...How you are doing this fine day. We will make GREAT MUSIC together and learn more about music and the world's vibrations together. I want you to tell me what it is you want me to teach you, and in the process I will learn how you learn. You teach me while I teach you; then the music will flow from ALL DIRECTIONS! =) My philosophy is a simple one. "If you put the work in you will improve." We will go at the pace that you desire and what you show me you are prepared for. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ
I am a passionate pianist and organist--as well as vocalist--that loves working with students of all ages that are serious about learning their musical craft. In 2004, I graduated from the University of Texas in San Antonio with a Bachelor's in Music Education. My primary instrument is piano, however, I am well versed in my secondary instruments of organ and voice. I frequently serve as an accompanist around the San Antonio area and play a myriad of musical styles from Bach to ZZ Top. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Euphonium Music Keyboard
I have always loved and appreciated music however, I did not gain my passion for music until I was shown its power and affect through the teaching of high school music educators. From then I pursued a Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance from Texas Lutheran University and graduated the Fall of 2016. I have performed in several dramatic stage works in the area of musicals and opera. The most recent being, The Pirates of Penzance. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I believe that half of the joy of making music is sharing it with others. In 2011, I graduated from Howard Payne University with a degree in music education, where I often performed lead roles in production spanning from "Bye, Bye Birdie," to "Gianni Schicchi." I am currently pursuing an advanced degree in Vocal Performance and Pedagogy from UTSA, and am projected to graduate in Spring 2015. I have had the opportunity to perform both around the State of Texas, as well as in Italy. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Have fun with it! Take bite-size pieces of music at a time and slow them down ridiculously, and then speed them up ridiculously. Then try and do that with the whole song!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
When they show a reoccurring interest and are at least school-aged. Fifth grade through ninth grade is actually the prime when your motor skills and cognitive growth are at an all-time high! But of course those are just broad observations. The best way to truly know is to have your child come in and simply start playing around and observing their learning styles on basic instruments such as the ukulele, and the piano. Older kids catch on to harder string instruments such as guitar and violin faster than little ones.
When will I start to see results?
In a long term context, this all depends on you and I will double down on that. In any instrument, you could go a month in a week or a week in a month. I can give the tools to excel and grow in your instrument of choice, and as a teacher, I try and go a step further and show you HOW to practice. It's always more than merely running through your exercises or music. I will show you how to compartmentalize and have fun with it! If you follow my advice, you will certainly see exponential growth starting from your first lesson.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first teacher was my fifth grade violin teacher. She inspired me to think outside the box from day one and that learning would be a life long project. She then was my high school orchestra conductor who showed me that I could expand my music horizons on the guitar and sing folk music. By the end of my high school career, she sat me down to have a chat about how it is truly possible to go into music and make in a lucrative career with the right set of skills and looking into the right options. Teaching private lessons was the first step, performing and writing was the second!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I decided to choose the violin because an older sibling had excelled at the violin and I was captivated by the sound. As it turns out, studies show that hearing the violin lights up the same part of the brain as when we hear a person sing. The motor skills I acquired playing the violin then made picking up the guitar fairly easy. Today I must say it is the guitar that is my primary instrument. The guitar became a tool for songwriting, composition, and self expression that feels central to who I am. Still, I always say the violin was my first love!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am beyond blown away at the very fact that I got to perform at Carnegie Hall when I was 17 with my high school orchestra and got my own solo!
These days I am happy of the fact that I have been making a living for myself just playing at teaching music since the day I left college. I am proud of the fact that I get up each morning and decide how to fill my days with musical experiences!
I am also proud of the fact that I've been able to record my own band and other artists in Austin, Texas and showcase my work live in premier venues around the country. You can find my work under the name City of Decades!
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My students have won songwriter awards in their english programs at school from our private lessons. I have been able to help each kid by breaking down what they enjoy musically, and what they do not enjoy. From there, I show them how to create musical progressions and sprinkle melodies and lyrics on top of them!
My students have also won top awards in Region, All-state, and Solo Ensemble competitions all over the south central region of Texas. The most basic reason to explain their success is that these kids come in driven and when that drive wanes for any reason, I help to pump them back up again!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Muscle memory is by far the hardest thing to master with any instrument. I teach mostly stringed instruments (along with piano and voice. With stringed instruments, the individual must train their fingers to be nimble enough for the correct intonation. In other words, it takes some accuracy and strength to make the correct notes come out with some gloss. When someone pushes the piano key, the note should sound properly every time. With strings, it takes a bit more effort to get a good sound every time.
