Ben H

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I've been teaching music for more than 12 years now. I can honestly say that I enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge of music. Not everyone can say that they truly enjoy their job so I feel blessed. I have taught hundreds of students ranging from ages 4 to 80! I have taught individuals, groups or online lessons. During the pandemic I was lucky to I keep working because of zoom lessons. I don't know what I would have done without zoom lessons. Read More

Cathy B

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Acoustic Guitar

I try to get to know each student a little in the introduction/first lesson. I ask about their music goals and where they would like to be in a few months to a year. We talk about their favorite styles of music and artists. I am so excited to see my students progress and learn a new chord, play a new song well, sing a more challenging song, increase their vocal range, and become excited about their new musical skills!

I moved to the Berkshire Mountains of Western Massachusetts in early 2015 and relocated back to Dallas/Ft. Worth in late 2017. For the past several years, I've been blessed with the opportunity to perform across the country and beyond, to facilitate interactive music workshops, to teach private lessons, and to provide original music and sound design for documentaries, films, animations, and more. In 2014, I initiated my solo project Starseed, featuring original electronic compositions infused with guitar and vocals. Read More

Stephen C

Instruments: Guitar

For over 47 years I have played and instructed guitar. I began playing back in September of 1967 at the age of 10, on an inexpensive acoustic guitar purchased by my father from a pawn shop. I am self taught and learned to play by watching other guitarists, reading guitar instructional books, and listening to record albums. For most of my playing years I have also instructed students to play from beginner to advanced stages. Read More

I am a dedicated and experienced guitarist who loves helping aspiring guitarists achieve their goals with the instrument. I have played guitar myself for about 15 years, the last five or so professionally. I've had the opportunity to perform throughout Texas doing my own arrangements of contemporary music on classical guitar, performing at venues such as the Mansion on Turtle Creek and the Four Seasons.

Teacher In Spotlight

Nina D

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Viola Fiddle

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Deciding to become a professional musician has been a gradual decision for me. Music has always been my greatest passion in life, but because I have far reaching interests in other subjects, it took me several years following high school to decide to pursue music teaching and music performance as my main career. Deciding to follow the thing I love most has been the best decision of my life!

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I wasn't a musician, I think I would still be doing some kind of art. I have always felt extremely connected to creativity and using that to connect with the world and my community!

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love so many different styles of music, so it's hard to choose which is my favorite to play. One of my top choices is old-time fiddle music, because it's a very inclusive and community based style of music. Everyone learns the same fiddle tunes which have been passed on for generations, and you can sit down with a group of new friends and play a song together on the spot! Most old-time players know many of the same tunes, and this makes it a great way to generate community. Everyone plays together as a group, so I have never felt like I was "put on the spot" or nervous to play this style of music.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started on the violin at age 5, and soon after, decided to take piano lessons at age 7. Taking piano was a mutual idea between my parents and I, because I wanted to take an instrument that would supplement my study of the violin. Taking piano gave me a deeper understanding of chord progressions, note reading, and improved my motor skills. Later in life, I chose to pick up the guitar. I chose to start this instrument because I wanted to write songs and needed a way to back up my voice. I have found that with each additional instrument, learning becomes easier and easier. Though every instrument is different, I can transfer skills from one to the other, like finger dexterity, note reading, scales, etc.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music definitely runs in my family! My dad plays various instruments, and I grew up inspired by his fiddle playing in a gypsy jazz band called The Gadjo Playboys. When I was 4 I said- "I want to play the violin so I can fiddle like my dad!" I also have 3 older siblings who all preceded me playing the piano, violin, and cello. As a family, we grew up attending old time music festivals where we would jam on fiddle tunes together, and today, my oldest sister Maya is a professional musician who most recently was in the band The Stray Birds. My parents love to sing songs together, and when we're all home for the holidays, we book family gigs at local venues. Music is the glue in our home!
