Music Lessons in Fort Bliss, TX

Instruments: Piano Voice

I encourage progress over awards. It is vital that the singer be able to rely on their fundamental and progress at their own pace to be able to build healthy habits that will last for a lifetime of singing. I try to understand the goals and desires for all students to be able to help them reach that goal in a healthy progression. I am very challenging but singing if supposed to always be fun as well or there is no use in doing it every day. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet

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 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

My lessons include a number of activities including piano instruction, ear training, theory, technique, and flash cards.  They are all great learning tools for a well-rounded music education. I begin teaching sight reading almost from the first lesson. It is important for me as a teacher to see students make correlations between what they hear and see. Note memorization is also essential, but rather than simply using the standard acronyms for staff reading or focus on naming notes individually, I teach students early on to recognize the overall shape of the music they read Read More
