Music Lessons Laredo County, TX

Instruments: Piano, Music, Keyboard

I teach from 4 years old to adults, novice to advanced levels. My lessons are totally personalized to meet each student's desire, needs and capability. The pace of the lessons should be adjusted for each student. I review and access each student's understanding and progress in each lesson, and design a personalized assignment and lesson plan for the next lesson. Acknowledging accomplishment makes the student confidence and fuel the student's desire to progress. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, Euphonium, French Horn, Tuba, Music

Speaking from experience, a student learns best at their own pace. With private music lessons, it is a lot easier to identify what skills a student is good and as well as what needs to be worked on. When working with a new student, I like to hear what they have, so that way I can determine what I need to work on with said student. Because in order for a teacher to be as effective as can be for the student, they must get to know the student as a player and see what they already know so that the student is properly challenged and not bored or frustrated.

Instruments: Piano, Music, Keyboard

For absolute beginners I like to start with an interview to get to know who they are as an individual. From there, I will choose from a selection of beginner method books or craft my own method if I do not think that any existing method is effective. Once the student has grasped fundamentals, I start to introduce more standard repertoire. For all levels I like to heavily emphasize rhythm, theory, and listening, and will incorporate all of those aspects into every lesson. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar, Music, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I've been teaching out of my studio since 2005 and 8 years ago I began teaching students online using Zoom, Face time and Skype. This has been a wonderful way to connect with aspiring students all over the United States and the world. As a continuing student myself, I'm passionate about guitar instruction, learning new songs, techniques and styles. I encourage a healthy practice routine to gain a solid understanding and love for the instrument. Read More
