Music Lessons in Rockwall, TX

Instruments: Voice French Horn

Most of the students I've taught have had a background in music through singing in choirs, etc. Other students have had a limited musical background. At whatever the ability level or background, I always try to introduce appropriate solo repertoire to which the student can relate, as well as introducing songs that will aid in teaching proper vocal technique and proper diction. If the student needs additional training in music theory, I gladly incorporate that into the lesson. Read More

Instruments: Violin Viola

For intermediate students I try to make it fun, according to their ages, may be throw some pop tunes here and there, or if they are more serious into classical then I would definitely enjoy the challenge of teaching relaxation techniques during difficult passages such as double stops, high positions, string crossings, etc. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level.

I also will use examples of music played on youtube to give examples of what a piece of music would sound like, for instance playing the Stars and Stripes Forever on piano, will sound a whole lot different when a student hears the Marine Band play this piece of music. Depending on the child, making up their own music is also a fun thing to do, or even sing along while making up your own lyrics. Read More
