Music Lessons Dallas County, TX

Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Recorder, Music

For beginning students, I typically start with three separate methods for each instrument that are all offered on SmartMusic. A student may opt to use the books. One method works with tone, another deals with technique and the third one works rhythms. I then slowly integrate solo and ensemble repertoire which leads to your first performance. All along the way, I present to you new, fun practice techniques which propel you forward! Read More

Instruments: Piano, Music, Keyboard

Passion, Patience, and Encouragement. While scales, arpeggios, and technical exercises are central to every pianist's training, I'm a believer in fostering a student's love of music first and foremost. Without the curiosity and love of music fueling our practice it can become work rather than what its meant to be.. play. My approach to teaching is to introduce passion for music through patience and encouragement. Through this window we'll explore the infinite landscape and, indeed, the infinite freedom music has to offer.  Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Trumpet, Euphonium, Music, Keyboard

With beginning students, I tend to focus on the fundamentals for the instrument, and music. An adequate grasp of the fundamentals, along with consistent practice and rehearsal times, lead to a student expediting their abilities. At this point, I will start distributing solo repertoire/literature and duets. I always encourage my students to perform for one another and to their friends and family. Not every student learns the same way. Read More

I started teaching music during college teaching private lessons part time 7 years ago. I focus on each individual according to their experience and push them beyond their initial limitations. Over the years I’ve learned how to apply my own learning expirences into my teaching techniques. Individual practice is very important to me and necessary to succeed in my studio, one hour daily is ideal. This way we can speed up the progress and the student gets the most out of each lesson.
