Instruments: Piano
I spend several lessons getting to know the student, what their music interests are, what they have previously learned and then tailor lessons to the individual student. I encourage them to stretch beyond the familiar while providing a very individualistic approach to their lessons. In the very near future, I hope to be able to provide online lessons as well as in my studio or the student's home. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute
I began teaching private lessons and group classes over 10 years ago immediately after graduating high school and beginning studies at SMU's Meadows School of the Arts. After graduating with my bachelor's degree, I spent four years teaching at public in the suburbs of Dallas, TX and Boston, MA every age group K-12 and almost every type of music education possible from elementary general music to band, strings, jazz, choir, and theory.

Instruments: Violin Viola
I am a professional level violinist who has been playing for almost ten years. I started my internship in my junior year of high school as a middle school orchestra assistant and I have enjoyed teaching ever since. I am a current student at the University of North Florida where I am studying Music Education and participating in the UNF Orchestra. We, as an orchestra, have had multiple opportunities to travel and play with other groups and in places of high respect. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My name is Joshua. I am a 26 year old pianist who has been playing for 20 years. I am an experienced teacher, performer, and composer. I play around town in a Jazz duo, as well as in a 3 person band. I have been teaching for over 5 years and enjoy helping my students expand their mind and reach their goals for musical education. I like to find a piece from a composer or recent artist that the student enjoys so that we can balance the more tedious elements of the lesson with something fun. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone Organ Music
I have been playing the piano for twelve years. I graduated from Stetson University in 2019 with a Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Performance and from the University of Texas in El Paso (UTEP) with a Masters of Music in Piano Performance in 2022. I have performed in Italy, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Texas, on a solo level and collaboration. I have collaborated with many wind symphonies such as the Stetson University Symphonic Band, Stetson Concert Band, UTEP Wind Symphony, UTEP Symphonic Band, and the El Paso Winds Symphony. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
Each student is different. By monitoring the students' interest, I encourage them to set a goal ofpracticefor the month, and each month that goal time increases little by little. Understanding how to read music and music theory are very important when learning any instrument. Student will be able to play any and all kinds of music if note reading has been taught. Each lesson I set a goal for the following week which is always easy to accomplish with practice. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Growing up, I always had a fascination with space! I didn't have the grades nor the determination to pursue it, but I also had a love for music I couldn't suppress.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My mother played piano as a child, but a lot of my initial inspiration came from my brother who played Tuba. He now plays guitar and sings in a group part-time in Long Beach, California.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
The moment I knew I wanted to perform was a concert at Appalachian State. This concert was goofy, funny, a little bit weird, but so much fun. It reinvigorated my love for music and really showed me how diverse music can really be.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
By far, the Pop/70's/80's music has been the most enjoyable. Performing with many tribute bands, playing the music of my idols, and the overall experience of the groups I've played with has been the best for me.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I really only play trumpet, but I've dabbled in many other brass instruments as well as piano. Most were from neccisity having to learn it for school, but I just wanted to understand how other instruments worked.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece currently is La Virgen de la Macarena. It's showy, it's big, and it's perfect for me! Unfortunately I've never had a scenario in which I could perform it, but I hope to play it soon!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I wanted to perform, which I still do and enjoy doing, but I learned I enjoyed teaching and investing time into students. I wanted a higher-education degree so I could teach at a university eventually, but I'm currently trying to improve my performance career so I can have the experiences to teach from.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use the Bill Adam teaching method for most students who already have a grasp on the instrument. Using analogies and imagination to create music rather than just recording notes.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
We have what we call a "Routine". It varies per student, but it's essentially fundamentals to get your day started. It covers everything you'll need, no matter the circumstances. I think tend to play to online recordings, listen to other professional musicians, and take time to listen to new artists when I can.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Consistency, both in practice and performance. Developing a consistent practice routine is difficult until you get used to. There are also a lot of aspects to control while playing, and being able to do all that takes time.
