My process for working with new voice students begins with an initial intake form, where I learn about your musical background, goals, and any specific areas youd like to improve. Following this, we schedule a first Discovery Lesson. This initial lesson allows us to get to know each other, assess your current abilities, and establish a baseline. Based on this assessment, I create a personalized lesson plan tailored to your unique needs and aspirations. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
I will use what I learned at the University of Arkansas in my teaching methods and approach the guitar in a classical sense, meaning properly learning chords, scales, arpeggios and so on. I will have books that the student will learn songs and techniques from depending on the direction they want to go musically. If there is a specific song the student wants to learn I will help them work their way through it note by note. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I am very passionate about music and believe everyone can learn some music. I enjoy many different types and styles of music, I earned my associate of arts from eastfield college before finding double majoring at Cedar Valley College. I have played in several ensembles and a few different rock bands in my time. I am pursuing my Bachelor's degree from University of Texas at Arlington. I have studied many different instruments like Piano, Guitar, Violaand Vibraphone. Read More

For beginners, I will start lessons by assisting them to become familiar with their instrument and to learn all the names of the various parts of the instrument. All lessons will be catered to what it is that the student is excited to explore, be it music theory, instrumental techniques, improvisation, composition, arrangement, ear training, transcription, reading, playing in a group setting, or just learning a favorite song. In terms of lessons material, I will guide students when and where necessary and do have traditional modalities of approaching lessons that I will employ if I feel the student is lacking direction (i.e. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
As a teacher my goal is not to simply teach a student how to play or sing a certain song. My goal is to teach my students how to use the discipline of music to help them to develop their character. To that end I emphasize learning music fundamentals well and being able to put them into practice playing or singing in public at every opportunity. I also believe that playing with other musicians helps students to solidify their skills so I encourage them to play in an ensemble at every opportunity. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar
Under my instruction, creativity is nurtured along side of every technique and skill that I teach. This will help the student develop the ability to create their own original music and deepen their interest in their instrument. I also try my best to make learning and practicing as fun and musical as possible. Of course, we must first learn how to make the instrument sound and how to maintain the instrument. Read More

When will I start to see results?
This is a very difficult question to answer. Frankly, your student will only see results if they are putting the time in at home. Any teacher that says otherwise is Lying to you. Best case scenario is that I introduce a new concept and and the student practices hard and gets it in their hands and in a couple months they the concept is being utilized naturally. The important thing to note is that this is like leaning an new language. there are people that study in college for years and still aren't fluent, but; there are students that are fluent by the end of the second year of study. the difference between these students comes dance to "personal investment" in their learning.
For best results: Be Immersive. and Stay Curious.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child can sit in a classroom, they can take a lesson. It helps if we as teachers ascribe to a similar structure to the one that your younger student is used to- keeping a grade book, insuring there are defined activities each lesson, possibly having worksheets or homework etc. - This should install the same type of work ethic they exhibit in school.
Think of this as if they were getting a tutor on math or science or getting extra help from a teacher on a paper. We are only here to provide the guidance they need to be successful. It helps a lot if they are interested in learning about the opportunities music can afford them in college and in the real world.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
1.) Practice every singly day. The hardest part of learning a new skill is the early days. There will be moments where you are frustrated. There will be moments where you just want to give up. It is important that you realize that nothing is "TOO HARD" it is just unfamiliar.
2.) Being a musician is a marathon not a sprint. Start as slow as you can when learning material. This is a lesson that everyone has to learn the hard way. You have to crawl before you can walk, and you have to Walk before you can run. GO SLOW.
3.) This may sound like a contradiction to number 2 ,but ; Don't practice in marathon sessions. Your brain is only effectively retaining information for about 45-50 minutes at a time, AT BEST. I found that I grew the most in Grad school when I was practicing one head for 30 - 40 minutes then waiting for 10-15 minutes to "cool down" then starting a new item on my list of objectives. Do this everyday and eventually you will see massive results.
