Music Lessons in Massey Lake, TX

Instruments: Guitar

When I begin lessons with a new student, I generally do not use a specific method book. Instead I put together a lesson from various online resources depending on what level the student is at. I never really used method books much in the course of my learning the instrument, although there are many various books that teach the same things in different ways for those at a beginner level.

I try to provide lots of encouragement and praise as well as helpful advice about how to improve their music skills. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Ukulele Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Music

I took on my first student my junior year of college, and have taught students on and off since. I've taught guitar, ukulele, violin, and voice, but piano is what most of my students pursue. I do my best to make sure students are enjoying the instrument that they are handling, because if they don't enjoy it, why should they continue? I encourage performing opportunities, such as recitals and church performances, so that a student can become confident in their abilities, and be motivated to explore music beyond what I can teach them!
