Music Lessons Bastrop County, TX

Instruments: Piano, Cello, Music, Keyboard

I started teaching when I was an undergrad in college. I've taught students of different ages with different personalities. I found it important for myself as a teacher to change my teaching styles according to each student. Using the vocabulary or description that the student understands and give them what they need/want is a better way for them to learn. There's no short cut to success. If you want to learn an instrument, regular practice and lessons are required. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Drums, Mallet Percussion, Orchestral Percussion, Music, Keyboard

I have had experience teaching at both the public school and university level, as well as through private lessons. I primarily teach piano, drum set, and percussion lessons through both in-home and online formats since 2019. Through my experience teaching these past four years, I have had the pleasure of teaching students of all ages (from 5 to 65 years old) and experience levels. Another passion of mine is instruction at the university level, where I have had two years of experience teaching pedagogy courses for undergraduate students along with coaching and instructing music ensembles.

Instruments: Oboe, Music

I have been teaching lessons off and and on since I graduated high school. I like to encourage using a set schedule for lessons and practicing so that student can develop the habits they need to progress through musical learning. I like to find out if students like a certain type or genre of music so that we can see how this music connects with the classical studies and repertoire that is recommended for learning. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Violin, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Drums, Synthesizer, Recorder, Electric Violin, Fiddle, Orchestral Percussion, Music, Keyboard

Everyone has the capacity to be a musician...therefore, I teach students of all ages and include all cultures (all styles and musical genres). No one is a 'beginner' when it comes to recognizing great music, so I strive to create musicians who can reach their own goals...thus, building independence is the key: My job is done when my students can do what I do without needing me! For more experienced students, I assess your present skills upon our first lesson via a variety of repertoire so as to 'diagnose' what areas you need improvement on musically speaking. Read More
