Music Lessons in Port Aransas, TX

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I love explaining this topic. I get to use the information I learned, and transfer it to another person in the form of various analogies and explanation methods. It is truly the funnest job I’ve ever had. I don’t mind teaching any age or ability level, but I will tell you that I think if you’re advanced then it speaks for itself and you do not need a teacher.

Instruments: Guitar Violin

My teaching experience began back in high school tutoring students over their parts in the orchestra. I've had many private students since then from children learning fundamentals to adults brushing up on their old blues chops.

I approach every student with respect and try to meet them wherever they may be on their musical journey. Read More

Instruments: Drums

For students who are just beginning, I typically start with Alfreds Drum Method Book 1. Mostly for learning basic music notaion and theory. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I begin to introduce drum set music notation and theory from the Tommy Igoes Groove Essentials 1.0 book. For adult students we tend to work on whatever the the students interested in,and guide my lessons accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun ,no matter their skill level. Read More
