Music Lessons in Green Valley, AZ

Instruments: Clarinet Music

I am new to teaching, especially online. I begin teaching in my early college days as a freshman/sophomore to those I knew who would reach out to me for lessons. They were my acquaintances. We went through mostly preliminary skills, embouchure, consistent tone, tuning, knowing how you play and how your clarinet functions. Though keep in mind this was a couple years ago. Through ensembles and playing in a clarinet studio I feel I have developed a solid background. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet

This is how the great masters play. Why does it look and sound easy for them? Because it is! If it is not easy for you, then you are doing something that can be improved upon. This applies whether you are playing music or any sport, juggling, riding a unicycle, etc. In my science-based approach to the trumpet, we do what we absolutely have to in order to find the sound and not one thing more.

Instruments: Violin Viola

After moving to the United States, my part-time orchestra jobs have included principal student violist of Conway Symphony Orchestra, associate principal violist of Pine Bluff Symphony Orchestra, and sectional violist of Texarkana Symphony Orchestra. I have gradually understood the importance of the viola section, and how to contribute to an orchestra as a single violist. Three semesters later in May 2012, I received an Artist Diploma from the UCA, and then started to working on my Master Degree there in August 2012. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Oboe Music

I love making music and helping students to be confident making music. I know that life can get busy and students won't always be able to practice every day, so I set realistic goals for them and emphasize that even just a little bit of (focused) practice is much better than no practice at all. The most important thing is that students feel like they are making progress and are enjoying the process, rather than checking off a box of drudgery every day just to check it off. Read More

Instruments: Voice

My style is rooted deeply in performance and dramatic interpretation. We will work extensively on microexpressions, which are genuine expressions provoked by real emotion. If we think of real experiences when we sing that we relate to, it will transform the performance and bring it to life. The performance will be more believable. My goal as a teacher is to help you give your best performance that allows the audience to have an emotional experience. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I praise effort and a good attitude! I know that learning music is like learning a new language along with hand-eye-ear coordination. Positive reinforcement and clear guidance is a must. I also encourage parent and family involvement with lessons so a student feels the support and environment necessary for long term interest. I teach each student with individual attention and realistic goal setting fit for the student and parents interests. Read More
