Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin
I started learning piano in first grade. I learned music theory, and it helped me learn other instruments quickly. In Middle School, I learned violin very quickly because I had the fundamentals down. After high school, my parents wanted me to have a financially stable career. I studied business in college, but ended up becoming a Middle School teacher. Not only did I teach math, I was also their music teacher for their after school music teacher. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I started and loved to play the guitar since when I was 12 years old. I started out by self teaching myself how to play the style called "Finger-Style" on the steel string acoustic guitar and posted videos of myself playing this style on the instrument on YouTube. I was able to progress fast by posting videos consistently, and I had collected a big following as well. After a few years, my interest and love had grown for the classical nylon strung guitar and I continued to pursue it in a collegiate level. Read More

As said above, number one in my mind is meet the student where they are. I want to find a way to be not only a teacher for a student, but a way to be a mentor. Students spend years with teachers and they can very quickly become such an important component and role model. If there's a single thing I want my students to learn, is to love music. Read More

In order to grow and become greater then before is through repetition, "the mother of all skill". I like to teach first, a few things I have in mind from my lesson plan that I have developed and then I cater to my student, to get them more and more excited about playing. My goal is for my students to be so confident that they have this amazing new skill they can apply to everyday life. Read More

I have been teaching guitar to friends and family for the past 3-4 years, including several of my cousins and my brother. Their skill ranged from beginner to intermediate and I found that each person is different and requires different needs when it comes to guitar. There is many different aspects to teaching that I am familiar with and the most important one I've found most important is listening and patience. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it is important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Bass Guitar Organ Ukulele Electric Violin Music Keyboard Electric Guitar
I have been teaching since High School, but it wasn't until my first year of college that I started teaching music. After 6+ years of teaching in my home studios in both Austin and San Antonio, I enjoy a variety of students learning violin, viola, cello, piano, guitar, and even certain music software. My greatest lesson in teaching is that no two students are alike; one student may be more traditional and focused and have no problem learning to read music, for example, while another student may have little to no attention span, making it impossible to learn consistently.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My high school choir director! I had always loved singing, but she really inspired me with her encouragement, respect for me, and the opportunities she gave me. She made me into such a confident person and singer, and I have so much gratitude for her. Because of her, I decided that I wanted to do the same thing for other people.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I have been singing for my entire life! I loved singing more than anything in the world. For my second birthday, I received a bucket of sand toys, but I took the bucket and started playing it like a drum. As a child, I used to sing Disney songs for my family in the living room. I loved performing and being on the stage for as long as I could remember. Singing has just always been a part of me!
When will I start to see results?
Most of my students will begin seeing results immediately. I am extremely thorough with my students, and I will give them suggestions for how to improve immediately. Like learning anything, you're going to constantly improve. I am not a miracle worker. Most of the work has to come from you. I make sure to give my students the tools for successful singing, and then it is up to them to put that to practice. Your results will come faster if you practice effectively.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
In my opinion, voice lessons should not begin until a child starts puberty. This is a controversial statement, but based on my background in vocal health studies, I have found that it is more appropriate for children to begin lessons once they are beginning puberty; even after puberty. From the time a child is born to the time they reach puberty, this is a critical time for vocal exploration. Musical aptitude does not level out until the age of 9, and the voice changes during puberty in both males and females. Kids who are singers should spend their childhood singing songs and exploring their voices, and then the formal training should begin at puberty.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Don't practice voice too much! I always advise my students to practice, at MOST, 30 minutes a day. The voice is not like a regular instrument. Practicing too much can make your voice tired and even cause some vocal injuries. I believe that singing should be fun! I never want my students to become stressed or tired due to practicing too much. When practicing, I advise my students to sing a song we've been working on, record themselves. and listen to the recording. Think of some technical aspects that could be improved and sing it again!
