Music Lessons in Concord, TX

Instruments: Oboe Music

I have been teaching lessons off and and on since I graduated high school. I like to encourage using a set schedule for lessons and practicing so that student can develop the habits they need to progress through musical learning. I like to find out if students like a certain type or genre of music so that we can see how this music connects with the classical studies and repertoire that is recommended for learning. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

My teaching experience involves both in the school classroom setting and outside in the private studio. I was given the opportunity to work as a vocal consultant at the middle school level in 2016 and coached the students one-on-one on their region competition pieces. The following year, I taught private voice lessons of which most were beginning students. My students came from zero knowledge to obtaining the ability to sing and sight-read, an understanding of the music theory, and could now say "I can sing"! Read More

Instruments: Piano

I've been teaching piano for over 10 years, teaching both privately and in group classes. I've taught students from 7 1/2 to 75. My passion for teaching has extended into my graduate studies, where I focused on piano pedagogy. In addition, I've spent the last 5 years working in a University Teaching Center, working with faculty members and graduate students on how to improve their classroom teaching! All of this thinking about teaching informs how I work with students, based on research and personal experience. Read More

When it comes to children, I believe that structure is necessary. So, I usually assign arrangements from a book based on their skill level. In most cases, I use Hal Leonard books and move chronologically from beginner and onward. As students progress, I tend to shift more towards fundamental skills, like how to properly pick certain songs, how scales work, and how to build relevant chords. Eventually, all of this will summate to being a fully capable guitarist. Read More
