Voice Lessons in San Miguel, NM

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have been teaching for over ten years and received private instruction myself growing up.  Teaching music I'd an important part of my life. Learning music has the power to form many connections in the brain that can increase academic performance in school as well as develop a sense of expressivity. This is a concept I have kept constantly in mind throughout my teaching career. In addition to teaching, I have performed in both solo recitals and with ensembles. Read More

Instruments: Voice

Since I teach people of all ages, I have learned that I cannot simply follow one type of lesson structure.  During my lessons I learn about not just the talent a person has but also about the person themselves.  Therefore, each lesson plan is tailored specific to that individual. The individual helps us to find the appropriate balance in our teaching method. When that balance has been obtained, only then can the student reach their fullest potential. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Oboe

I first always start with warm-ups. I believe warm-ups really are the building blocks of technique which is vital to learning piano, voice or any instrument under the sun. Next we look at the level or etude book if we are working with piano or instruments. These songs are short and have a mini lesson/technique hidden in them. These further build the students' ability to play more difficult pieces later. Read More

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: 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

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Drums

Whether beginner or a bit more advanced, I have always liked to return to the basic foundational knowledge and techniques that must be understood well in order to advance and have a good sound and a good technique. For beginners in piano, I like to find books that the individual feels comfortable with and that they completely understand what they are getting themselves into. Every person is different. For snare drum, I like to use a book called stick control which helps students develop mastery in the way they play from precision to striking the snare drum correctly and the way they overall develop their style of playing.
