Music Lessons in Weir, TX

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

I began teaching others piano and voice when I was a teenager since I had already had 10 years of training and experience performing in front of thousands of people. I LOVE children (I have 5 of my own and one on the way!) and love how music opens up all kinds of creativity, emotions and imagination in them. Having done 15 European concert tours and been all over the states, the one thing we all share on this planet is a love for MUSIC. Read More

Well, I am born and raised in Austin, Texas; known as the live music capitol of the world. Growing up here, it was natural for my interest in, and dedication to music to be fostered. Currently, I play all over town with various bands, as well as teach one-on-one lessons. I try to be as involved and supportive of the music scene as possible. I love to play all styles of music with my horn, but jazz and blues are big influences with me. Read More

Motivation can be the biggest issue for the students.
