Music Lessons in Addicks Barker, TX

Instruments: Voice

I believe teaching in music in an art that requires as much dedication and preparation as performing. When I teach, I dont force a certain technique or method on students, but rather I teach what is best suited for them. On top of that, I always motivate my students with adequate goals. Most importantly, I will make sure my students enjoy music in the process of learning. I have a Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance from University of Massachusetts, Amherst and a Master of Music in Vocal Performance from Indiana University. Read More

In my teaching approach, discipline, perseverance, respect, and confidence are some of the most important values. Read More

Method or style technique used will always depend on the preference and requirements of the student. It will also depend on the style of music. For example, classical guitar requires perfection of technique for good execution. This requires practice of scales, arpeggios and such.

With more than 35 years in professional music, I have been able to understand that the mental attitude and the openness of the sensitivity to face the music that you are going to do at a certain moment is what makes the difference. Although you have many technical skills in your instrument, if you do not feel what you are going to play and you are not mentally safe and calm, relaxed, the music that will come out  You will not touch any heart.

As a musician, it is very important to understand the perspective of all instruments and how they work together. The better that one understands this connection, the more profound their contribution will be when playing with others. As a teacher, my goal is to assist each student in finding their own creative voice and guide them through the process of learning to express themselves through music. In addition to learning the guitar, I encourage my students to listen carefully and take notice to all the accompanying instruments in the music that they enjoy listening to. Read More

The best way to teach is to teach yourself all over again. I love to set realistic goals, while giving them a harder piece to juxtapose their progress. I never pressure them or bog them down with too much. Acknowledging their progress is always a great way to motivate them. I like to find things that inspire my students and push them in that direction, guiding them enthusiastically along the way. Read More
