Music Lessons in Fowler, CA

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer Keyboard

I graduated in the Fall of 1998. Since then, I have toyed with organ and electronic keyboard as I started following more of the classic rock and pop styles of the 70's and 80's. Although my classical training taught me a great deal, it has helped me learn more about rock and pop in general, plus it helps me find what' lacking in today's music. with the skills I have within and outside of Fresno State, I want to impart what I have learned on others, so that they too can become more well-rounded as musicians.

Instruments: Lute

I have worked with students and professionals alike for many years. There are times that a player needs to focus on technique - other times, interpretation. Music can be complex with many moving parts (literally.) In my personal experience, a student-teacher relationship is based on mutual goals and understanding with communication being the bridge between the two. My students are in a sense, my responsibility. That is to say that their development, happiness and satisfactions are quite important to me. Read More

Instruments: Violin

For beginning students, young or older, I start my lesson by playing a piece for them on my violin. They can listen and observe how I play the violin and how it sounds to them. Then I show them how to hold bow and violin and feel comfortable with the instrument. After time, I gradually introduce music reading and usually use Applebaum's String Builder and Suzuki books. I always encourage listening to great historical violinists recordings to develop a sense of personality, style and tone in the students playing. Read More

I have been teaching since my college years, as an informal coach, as part of pedagogy or internship assignments, or as a paid instructor. Lessons or work sessions may have been part of readying a friend for a solo in a church gathering, giving tips or pointers for an upcoming stage musical number, assistance with learning an art song, or a formal paid lesson to focus on technique, artistry, diction, interpretation, and delivery.

Instruments: Trumpet

Although I have not had any official students, I have taught a handful of my fellow peers throughout my years as a trumpet player. I have learned a magnitude of techniques and different approaches from the numerous and excellent trumpet teachers that I have taken lessons from and I hope to relay some of this information to my own students as well as my own ideas and thoughts. The most important thing that I have learned from taking lessons for over 6 years is that in order to be a great teacher you must be a great learner. Read More
