Music Lessons in Loma Terrace, TX

Instruments: Piano

My approach to each student is individual and dependent on the experience of the student. For beginning students I focus almost exclusively on the fundamentals such as right and left hand independence, finger positioning, posture, and so on. Then I'll try introducing more complexity in increments. For adults, my method is the same as with children unless the adult in mind has demonstrated greater expertise on the instrument. If the adult is more advanced I'll introduce more difficult piano repertoire to challenge the student. Read More

I believe that if one wants to become a piano virtuoso and master the classical piano, one must take the time to understand the joy and beauty of Classical Music in order to be able to transmit that beauty. I believe in acknowledging accomplishments, taking the time to practice and I also believe in challenging students to become better. Finding what composers inspires the students is very important because this makes them eager to learn. Read More

My experience as a private instructor began as early as when I was a student in college studying music. I have always had a profound passion for teaching at the private level because it really gives me the opportunity to help an individual in a more focused and meticulous manner. I've always believed that music is much more than just reading notes off a book, but have understood that music has many different dimensions, including being able to feel what you're playing, your natural music inclination, your ability to listen meticulously to your sound and your pitch and so many others.

The learning atmosphere must be a safe one that is inclusive of all. The teacher must know the literature well, and be able to select pieces that meet the ability level of the student, but also push them to new limits (Holt Jordan, 2008). Who Should Learn Music study should be open to anyone who is willing to learn. Shinichi Suzukis philosophy on teaching music is found by many to be the most inspiring, and is the foundation of any strong philosophy of music. Read More

I first started teaching kids privately about 4 years ago in their home and I started off with just basic stuff like note reading and pop music but as time passed by I came up with a teaching method that I am pretty confident in. I also worked at a tutoring center teaching guitar and piano to the kids focusing on more rock styles of playing. So my students were learning music from their favorite bands and what they wanted to learn. Read More
