Music Lessons in Clodine, TX

Instruments: Voice

The passion and the feeling that you put to a performance in front of ten or ten thousand people, properly managed, can be the vehicle that carries your musical message to each one of those people. Therefore, for me, at the time of teaching, Try to connect the student with 100% of what he is doing. The technique you can always learn and there are many and very good, they are all valid, but the human quality and value you give your music, respect and love you have, will be the determining factor in what you do with this Wonderful gift that life has given you.

There are many books on drums and piano or voice. I have to get to know the student to determine what I will use to get better results. It will depend on their age and attitude and initial talent. Also, a lot of kids are busy at school and don't have much time for practice. It means I need to get a lot done during the actual lesson and make sure that the info I m giving is settling in and there are no gray areas and questions of what to do until next lesson. Read More

I'm relatively new to the teaching life, but I love it regardless. I started in September of 2018 with one student who I taught throughout the semester, and seeing him grow throughout the months was satisfying unlike anything else I've experienced.

I believe that teaching and passing down knowledge is how society gets better, including music. Read More
