Music Lessons in Marrero, LA

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Harmonica Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I begin with the fundamentals of music theory that you will need to begin playing your instrument, and then I like to get straight into learning songs as quickly as possible. The student may choose what songs to learn (recommended) or I can make suggestions. You will learn a range of skills including tuning, instrument care, song struture, chords, soloing, and MUCH MORE. My goal is for you not just to learn to play certain notes or chords, but also understand why that note or chord fits where it does. Read More

Instruments: Flute

My goal is for the student to have fun and participate in the direction of their education while learning important theory and repertoire from the canon. For beginner students, I like the Rubank methods volumes 1 and 2 for fundamentals. This will be supported through tone development exercises and etudes for technique. I will introduce serious music as soon as possible commensurate with ability. Adults will be encouraged to follow their own interests, but with a continued eye on the fundamentals and canonic literature. Read More

I began teaching music in high school, 7 years ago, as part of a volunteer program to help local elementary and middle school students.

I have taught trombone, trumpet, piano, and guitar to students of all ages from 10 to 60 years old, and I love the opportunity to learn from my students and share my passion for music! Read More

Instruments: Guitar

I customize my lessons to each student as best as possible. For certain skill levels/styles I may recommend books or other materials, but for the most part I teach from scratch, making detailed lesson plans and notes for each individual student. I like to focus on technique, music theory fundamentals, and learning repertoire in each lesson. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My passion for music comes from childhood, learning the first chords on the guitar with my father. From then on, I began to study classical guitar in conjunction with a repertoire of Brazilian and Latin music. Later I deepened my studies on the 7-string nylon guitar and also on the semi-acoustic guitar, especially in the language of jazz and blues. I completed a bachelor's degree in popular guitar at the most prestigious institution in the city of So Paulo, FASM. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone Recorder

After this, I natur5ally gravitated toward music production, mostly record engineering. After recording and releasing six professional studio albums, I have the hard-earned experience to both help you develop your instrumental prowess, and if you chose to, the next step of music composition and record production. All of this, combined with my affinity for Adobe platforms like Photoshop, Light room, Premiere Pro etc., I can help any music student at any level with virtually any aspect of the music business.
