Instruments: Guitar Voice Drums Mallet Percussion Latin Percussion Electric Guitar Djembe Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For beginners, I will start lessons by assisting them to become familiar with their instrument and to learn all the names of the various parts of the instrument. All lessons will be catered to what it is that the student is excited to explore, be it music theory, instrumental techniques, improvisation, composition, arrangement, ear training, transcription, reading, playing in a group setting, or just learning a favorite song. In terms of lessons material, I will guide students when and where necessary and do have traditional modalities of approaching lessons that I will employ if I feel the student is lacking direction (i.e. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone
I have multiple books to work from based on the age and skill level of the student. I work fundamentals with all levels and can teach topics from multiple angles. My music library is expanding and becoming more diverse so that I give work solos with all of my students. I keep track of lessons and set a plan for each student in order to maintain forward progress. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I don't use any one method book. Instead I opt to pull from a variety of sources depending on the students age, background, and skill level. In terms of repertoire, I focus almost exclusively on classical music. While I am a fan of other genres, I also firmly believe that building a solid, classically-based technical foundation is the only way to really become proficient on any instrument. A student simply is not going to develop by just playing his or her favorite pop songs. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Recorder French Horn
All my long orchestral experience give me enough tools to help every students with their respective necessities. I have been able to obtain great results in little children and thanks to their parents support. To learn a beautiful career as Music depends on discipline, dedication , motivation, passion and perseverance, and I am aware that for every teacher this represents a genuine project, a challenge in time and creativity. In my experiences I have could work in diverse areas:French horn, solfege, children chorus, reading and writing music, aesthetic of music, conducting orchestral and chamber music performance, Orff ensambles, Recorder, Brass ensambles.

Instruments: Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I will sit with you, one on one, and introduce you to your guitar. We will string the gutar, tune the guitar, and learn the parts of the guitar together. Next, we will begin memorizing the fretboard and where all of the notes are located along every string. Finger and hand positioning will be next, so you can begin strengthening exercises in preparation for playing scale patterns on the neck of the guitar. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Music Keyboard
I have enjoyed playing, singing and accompanying vocally and on piano, organ and keyboard since the age of 7. I have both Choir and Solo vocal experience as well as played piano and organ for Churches and special performances. I have trained choirs and soloist and taught singing lessons for more than 10 years. I also have trained praise dancers and trained, accompanied instrumentally and toured an All City Children's Choir throughout Tarrant County for many years. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been playing the piano for 10 years, but have been involved in the musical institution for much longer than that. I have been shaping minds young and old in piano technique and music theory for the last seven years. And, I believe I am an ideal teacher for anyone just starting out to those who are trying to continue from where they left off. I have been afforded the pleasure of performing in many of my University's recitals and concerts as a solo pianist and ensemble piece. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor's, Master's, and I'm working on finishing up a Doctorate in Music Performance. I chose performance because I love learning and practicing and getting better at my instrument!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was a gradual decision! Many people have "aha" moments, but not me. When I began to take it more seriously, around the age of 14-15, I saw my progress and that I was getting better at viola, and that along with my teacher who encouraged me made me want to audition for music schools for college.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
This is tough - I love playing anything by Brahms specifically. He has the most heartbreaking melodies and his music is full of rhythmic tension. It would be fun to hone my improv skills and play various genres including jazz and fiddle music.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Viola is my primary instrument, but I also play violin. The two are very similar, with viola being a bit bigger and more physically awkward. Often, violinists and violists play both instruments.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I absolutely love Two Songs for Viola, Alto, and Piano by the German composer Johannes Brahms. It is for a viola, a singer, and a pianist to perform and it is one of the most beautiful pieces of music!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I'm not sure, I would still be listening to music all the time definitely! I earned a paralegal certificate while working on my doctorate music, and I enjoyed doing a bit of legal research. Not sure that's what I would choose as my next profession, but maybe!
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I've mentioned my favorites on my profile, but I often use books by Suzuki, Barbara Barber, Harvey Whistler, Essential Elements, Samuel Applebaum, Wohlfahrt, and Josephine Trott's books.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I always do a physical warm up for my bow without my left hand, and then I do a left hand warm up. I use a metronome and a tuner always. I play scales, arpeggios, double-stops, vibrato exercises, and any technical exercise I feel like focusing on. I do that as long as I can, which can be anywhere from 20 minutes to 1.5 hours on a good day. I then move on to my musical pieces which can be solo pieces like a concerto, sonata, or Bach suite, or orchestral excerpts. Again, I use the metronome for maybe 50 percent or more of my practice time. I also frequently record myself on my phone and listen back, just small chunks sometimes just 20 seconds long.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Not really, all of my siblings learned a musical instrument for a couple years when we were kids. I'm the only one doing it professionally. My parents learned piano and guitar for a bit as kids.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
For the viola, it's really hard to play in tune with a strong sound! The viola is physically bigger and more awkwardly designed than the violin, which makes it harder to play in tune and produce a good sound.
Shifting can be a difficult left hand technique to learn and teach. A difficult concept to explain, and one that takes a while to learn, is how play use your right arm weight to produce sound through the bow. People often think the left hand is the more difficult part of playing, but often the right hand (bow arm) is neglected.
