After teaching at Marching Percussion camps for Memorial High School and Waltrip High School among others I decided to go back to college at Blinn in Brenham. Read More

I would love to teach all ages, as I feel it is never too early or too late to learn about music. My students are encouraged to prepare for auditions and recitals as well as practicing music theory and composition for a deeper appreciation of the art. Despite the success of my students over the years, my number one goal is to instill a love for music that only grows over time. Read More

I don't have just ONE method...because every student has different likes, and different goals, they need personalized lessons. Some enjoy music theory, others prefer to just learn a more basic approach. Since I learned formally (in school/lessons) and informally (by ear, self-taught and playing onstage), I can give students whichever method suits their goals, with as much or as little theory as they are comfortable with. I specialize in playing by ear, which is essential for students who want to play onstage or make music with others, without worrying about sheet music. Read More
