Music Lessons in Dona Ana, NM

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

I generally do not teach directly from a book. I only use them as guides. I always felt that was the lazy way of doing things. A book doesn't know the student. I find that students of any age, learn and adapt to teaching in different ways and speeds. I start from the very bottom and we build every lesson, using previous lessons as building blocks. I take pride in teaching the way that works best for you or your child. Read More

I've been teaching music since high school. Throughout college, I maintained a small private studio of trumpet students. After college, I taught piano, guitar, and general music as a volunteer teacher in rural Malaysia for one year. In graduate school, I instructed two courses of ear training every semester. Since then, I've been teaching all the brass instruments at various international schools in Singapore. Now, back in NY, I look forward to meeting new students! Read More

Instruments: Piano

I try to make sure students can progress at their own pace based on their own skill level and experience with the instrument. I try to instill diligence patience and not being too hard on yourself as the top priorities. I want student and teacher interactions to be casual enjoyable and fun but at the same time serious with regards to the composer's intentions in the music. Like watering a flower it doesn't happen overnight the flower takes time to grow same with a piano student there needs to be incremental growth not overnight success. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Drums

My experience as a private instructor began as early as when I was a student in college studying music. I have always had a profound passion for teaching at the private level because it really gives me the opportunity to help an individual in a more focused and meticulous manner. I've always believed that music is much more than just reading notes off a book, but have understood that music has many different dimensions, including being able to feel what you're playing, your natural music inclination, your ability to listen meticulously to your sound and your pitch and so many others.

Instruments: Piano Voice

It is important to me that a student both enjoys and learns from their lessons. I strive to make lessons well-rounded. While piano instruction is certainly central to each lesson, I also spend time teaching music theory and ear training. I typically use Alfred's Basic Piano Library method books to achieve this well-rounded approach. The ultimate goal I maintain with students is to see them become independent and proficient learners, as well as to see them making music as a regular part of their lives. Read More
