Music Lessons in Midvale, UT

Instruments: Voice

I have been working and training different voices for years, in different musical genres with excellent results. During the classes you can expect specific breathing exercises, vocalization, and the study of songs and interpretation. We also discuss concepts of musical theory, which will allow you to develop and make yourself understood in any musical field. A good singer for me is a versatile artist, who can feel free to sing anything at any time. Read More

Instruments: Violin

Much of my approach to teaching is determined by the individual student. I want my students to be the best musicians they can be, and that does require a certain amount of pressure. To the extent that I can for each, I push my students to progress quickly. It can get boring to practice the same piece over and over without variation, so practicing is required. My goal is to let students find their own potential and their own motivation to learn. Read More

Instruments: Voice Trumpet French Horn

Everyone learns and masters music at their own pace. Light bulb moments are the moments for which I live! Nothing says, "I am learning," like seeing a student understand a concept or command a new ability for the first time. I set realistic goals and help guide my students towards their goals. I keep my lessons relaxed but full of energy. A huge fan of positive reinforcement, I do my best to make sure that I give a complement or praise before I make any correction. Read More

I always try to approach any situation by keeping mychin up, a positive attitude and listening to the musicians around me. This is how I do the best that I can. Sometimes successful sometimes not, but I always come away with more knowledge. Read More

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

My approach to teaching will largely depend on your age, experience, and goals for playing the flute. At each lesson, we will set attainable goals and discuss effective practicing methods. As I stated above, I am flexible for teaching as far as which method books and repertoire to learn. No matter what age or skill level, I find that tonal exercises, scales, and etudes to be paramount in helping students to improve their flute playing skills. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I believe that the best way to learn how to play is to play what you like to listen to. Practicing the repertoire is as important as the mechanical and technical practices of the instrument. Based on this, I often try to identify the techniques used in the songs that the student likes and whenever possible, we work on the technical part applied to a given song. This way, studying becomes more enjoyable and dynamic. Read More
