Music Lessons in Southeast Austin, TX

Instruments: Piano

If you are not interested in that part of music, I will just sneak it in as necessary. Having had so much experience with so many apposing methods, I myself have learned that there are as many different types of learners as there are types of people, so it is best to let the student show you what works for them. I never have to push any students to practice because my method surrounds the students goals and abilities that they actually want to achieve. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Latin Percussion Keyboard Djembe

I have been teaching for 25+ years in schools and privately. The crucial part of my teaching method is an individual approach. We all are different and that makes teaching more fun but it also makes it challenging and at times very difficult. It takes a lot of patience and experience to unlock one's individuality in learning and performing. I do use books at the same time I try to develop student's ears. Read More

I began teaching in my undergraduate years and continued throughout my years in Indiana. I have taken pedagogy class in my graduate studies. Therefore, I can provide anatomical details about the vocal mechanism to help you understand singing in a deeper level. I always have a teaching plan for each of my students so that I keep track of their progress. Also, I often encourage them to listen to different recordings to let the style grow in their pursuit of music. Read More

In 2012, I created the Jazz Trombone Workshop geared for high school tenor and bass trombone players who are wanting to learn more about the art of jazz trombone. In the inaugural year, Grammy Award winning trombonist Mark Gonzales of the band Grupo Fantasma was guest clinician at the workshop. Composing and arranging is a passion I have in addition to teaching. In 2013 and 2016, TJEA selected a jazz etude I had written to be used in the Texas All-Region/State auditions throughout the state of Texas. Read More
