Instruments:
Zack has been playing saxophone for over 16 years and has been teaching and performing professionally since 2005. His experience ranges from orchestral and chamber music to rock, jazz and everything in bewteen. He is experienced on the stage as a performer as well as in the classroom as an educator, and also in the recording studio. He has toured the United States with rock and jazz groups, playing in cities from coast to coast, and has performed with Latin Jazz groups in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Originally based out of Atlanta, Zack moved to Champaign, Illinois in 2010 to complete a Master's degree at the University of Illinois. He now resides in Austin, Texas, working as a freelance artist and studying at the University of Texas, with a Doctorate of Musical Arts in Progress.
Instruments:
For beginning students we work on the fundamentals of musics such as music theory, rhythmic notation, and techniques. Once the student has comprehend the fundamentals of music then I will introduce solo repertoire appropriate in preparation for a recital performance. In meeting with the adults we go over the goals to achieve and work towards them. I will try to find certain genres of music the student is interest in and focus the lesson of that particular genre. My overall goal is to develop great musicians.
Instruments:
Each lesson is designed specifically with the students’ abilities and challenges in mind as well. For young or beginning voice students, I like to begin with a solid foundation of intonation, body alignment, sight reading, and breath support using beginning level folk songs. The repertoire I choose is specific to each student's short-term goal and stylistic preference. For intermediate students, I focus on tone, coloration, vocal agility, diction, musicality, dynamics and performance anxiety. I am a firm believer in support and encouragement from family, and I insist that parents/guardians of high school students and younger stay informed with what their child is working on. The more supportive their environment, the more growth they experience! For piano students, I love to utilize Faber's Piano Adventures books and sprinkle in popular repertoire once the basics are covered.
Instruments:
Ever since I picked up a guitar at the age of 15, I have been passionate about performing. Earning a music degree came naturally to me, as I have a great appreciation for all genres of music. My band, The Hollowmen, and I have performed at several venues around San Antonio as we work to make our mark in the rock-n-roll scene.
Instruments:
For beginning students, I emphasize fundamentals, including technique, sound quality, and reading. With children, I like to start with method books such as Essential Elements or the John Thompson series for piano. For more advanced pupils, I will start with what they are currently working on, find areas for improvement, and then adjust the curriculum accordingly. However, no matter what the students interests or skill level are, I try and keep the lessons light, fun, and interesting!
