I typically begin with rhythm. The best melodies would not be worth anything if they aren't played with rhythm. After a student gains basic familiarity with their instrument I use a metronome (a musician's best and worst friend. Instead of playing traditional exercises, I teach students their favorite songs and techniques typical of their favorite genres. With my understanding of theory I try to incorporate a tiny bit of theory into every lesson to make an initially intimidating subject more accessible. Read More

I believe am gifted at finding a good balance, between discipline and chaos, during my lessons. Just enough regimented order, mixed in with relaxed spontaneity. For my younger students, I am teacher that is demands respect and encourages smiles, at the same time. With my adult students, I hold them accountable, without coming off The Boss! This dichotomy also balances types of curriculum we my cover. There will be some written music, some played by ear. Read More

I am a true lover of sharing music with others! I believe music brings people together and transcends cultural barriers. I am currently studying music at Austin Community College before I continue my studies at a full Music University. I have been fortunate to experience many different forms of music and have studied, performed, and taught various styles of music for the past 10 years. Music opens doors for people! I am a young teacher, still being a student, and I love teaching all ages, and am especially good with kids! Read More

For beginning and young students, we always start with fundamental concepts - producing a good sound, developing a sense of rhythm and pulse, building music reading skills, and fostering good practice habits.

    My first student (back in 2004 ) was a friend and we started lessons....for fun! This fun became a way of living  and one of the things that i really love to do. In 2005-2006 i started giving private  lessons at first in teenagers or people around 20-25 years old. That was easy because most of the people over 20's the know what they want.So i wanted to try with much younger and much older....and i thing it went pretty much well! Read More

Patience is the key. For the teacher and the student. There's no need to get upset or angry. Music isn't hard, bricks are. Music just takes time.

Then adding the four bars, and repeating that. Read More
