Music Lessons in Josephine, TX

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Piccolo Keyboard

My methods of teaching are teaching what and how to practice. The basic ingredients in music are scales and chords and space. I am a firm believer of playing with a rhythm section from the beginning. Because of this, I use devices such as playing with tracks, myself, and other people. I provide audio and visual examples using recordings and videos. It is a myth that, with music, you either have it or you don't. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I am a dedicated and experienced guitarist who loves helping aspiring guitarists achieve their goals with the instrument. I have played guitar myself for about 15 years, the last five or so professionally. I've had the opportunity to perform throughout Texas doing my own arrangements of contemporary music on classical guitar, performing at venues such as the Mansion on Turtle Creek and the Four Seasons. Music is my number one passion in life and I hope to help share that love with all the students I work with! Read More

Instruments: Voice

I believe that teaching voice does not involve a one-size-fits-all method. Every one is different, and therefore every voice is unique. It's important to treat each voice individually. A positive teaching environment is vital to encourage a student's progress. Lessons should also be fun. If the student is not having fun then something is not right. I also listen to the students and find out what repertoire and styles they would like to work on. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Bass Guitar Harmonica Mandolin Electric Violin Fiddle Double Bass

My teaching experience spans 6 years. I've taught all ages, so I'm comfortable with everybodys learning pace. In college I studied under the Latin Grammy award winning La Catrina Quartet, and I hope to pass down the knowledge I gain from that experience to my students. With my students, I take them step by step through were they are as a musician, to were they need to be. My experience working in ensembles will also expand my students ability to play in groups of all sizes (which will often happen). Read More

Instruments: Clarinet

I like to use the Rubank Elementary,Intermediate, and Advance method books depending on the skill level. I would say I focus on the fundamentals, embouchure, tone, air, technique, and etc. Having a strong basic will get the students to play anything they want in the long term. For example, having a strong correct embouchure is really important in playing the clarinet. It is more easier to play the clarinet and you will sound like a rock star!I try to make anything fun because music should be fun! Read More

Instruments: Saxophone

I meet with all my students and talk with them about what their goals are before we get started. Once I learn more about the student, I will personalize lesson plans that I believe will be the best fit for that individual student. Everyone learns differently, so I do not use one form of teaching across the board for all my students. I use many different resources that I believe will lead to the best advancement in skill for the student based upon the student's abilities and learning style. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

This ensures students develop a comprehensive understanding of music. Progressive Learning: Lessons are structured progressively, starting with simple melodies and chords and advancing to more complex pieces and techniques as students gain proficiency. Creative Exploration: In addition to classical repertoire, I encourage exploration of different musical genres and improvisation. This fosters creativity and allows students to develop their own musical style. Technique Development: Focus on hand positioning, finger dexterity, posture, and dynamics ensures students play with clarity, expression, and control. Read More
