Music Lessons Bexar County, TX

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Saxophone, Flute, Drums, Ukulele, Music, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style is very unique in that its based off improvisation and ear training with music theory lessons. Having just one of the three is a great skill, but developing an ability to read, play and improvise music is what, in my opinion, makes a great musician. I acknowledge hard work and dedicate myself to developing that passion for music in each lesson. Having a desire to get better is essential as it will take time, practice and patience. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Bass Guitar, Harmonica, Lap Steel Guitar, Banjo, Ukulele, Mandolin, Double Bass, Music, Keyboard, Electric Guitar

From Church to Opera to The Blues. I sang in church my formative years and in choir all through Jr. High and High school, continuing through college in various ensembles, madrigal (Accapella Baroque), and congemporary, also, a stint with Civic Opera in Puccini's La Boheme. It was at this time that I began playing guitar and then bass shortly thereafter and did so for years before starting my teaching career. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Organ, Synthesizer, Accordion, Music

I teach to the student's wants, desires, abilities, time and goals. I understand that some people want to just download chords of their favorite classic rock songs from the internet, and play them as quickly as possible, without learning to read and write music. Another student is interested in studying music theory, classical music's greatest hits, and how to read and write music. Obviously, it would be absurd to try to teach these two students with the same method. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Double Bass, Tuba, Music, Electric Guitar

I love the Bass guitar and Double Bass and it is my goal to find and teach the students who have this same passion for the instrument. In my opinion, the bass is the most essential instrument in ANY ensemble and so if you learn to play the bass well enough you are on the track for success in any genre you wish to play. I am a very relaxed individual and this transfers to my teaching style. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Cello, Music

I am a positive and encouraging instructor, and emphasize proper technique, music theory, and fundamentals through a variety of musical styles ranging from classical to popular music. My students are all ages (I once had a student start at the age of 70!) and come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. I work with students to help them balance a practice schedule with the rest of their lives. I consider myself to be a coach and facilitator and work with my students to set realistic, achievable, but challenging goals. Read More
