Music Lessons in Concho, OK

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Oboe Bassoon English Horn

Like I said in my experience section. I believe that students of different ages that are just starting instruments will have different wants and needs. So my teaching style will change a bit. Younger students, such as children, should get a healthy mix of popular music and some form of 'classical' training, I am including Jazz and other genres in the 'classical' as there is large amounts of history and techniques to explore.

My teaching experience started while I was in college, as I began teaching drumline in 2011, and I have been consistently teaching a variety of drumlines and individual students ever since.

Instruments: Voice

Building a Strong Foundation: A solid technical foundation is essential for musical growth. I prioritize the development of fundamental skills such as proper technique, music theory, ear training, and sight-reading, laying the groundwork for students to excel in any musical style or genre. Creative Exploration: While technique is important, I also encourage creative exploration and expression. I incorporate improvisation, composition, and exploration of various musical styles to foster students' creativity and musicality. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Euphonium

Students of all ages will work out of a technique/method book. Younger students will use Walter Beeler's Method for Cornet/Trumpet, more advanced students will play from Arban's. I emphasize a "classical" approach, especially with younger students to solidify their skills, encouraging intersted students to begin including jazz improvisation into their studies as their skills advance. We work on tone production, helping the student improve in this area through attention to breathing, embouchure, articulation, long tones, lip flexibilities, scales, etc. Read More

Instruments: Violin

I have a patient, focused, goal-oriented teaching style derived from pedagogical practices and my own personal experiences as a musician. Studying with me will help you cultivate technique that is fine and precise, develop a deeper appreciation for music, and most importantly, help you perfect the art of practicing smart. I am particularly inspired by the positive reinforcement methods employed by Suzuki, which successfully encourage and motivate any student. We will be going through a fairly even distribution of scales, etudes, and repertoire that I will carefully select based on your current abilities. Read More

By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs.. Read More
