Now fast-forward to March 2021, I was hired by Presidio ISD to teach middle school band. From then until May 2022, I got to teach middle school band along with choir and mariachi. I also occasionally helped at the local high school. What I have learned while teaching middle school, especially with beginners, is that playing along can be helpful initially. Once the student gets the hang of what they are playing, I phase out of playing my instrument. Read More

I usually try to give all my students a basic understanding of music theory and to get them started reading music, even if they are mainly interested in rock or pop music. Read More
