Rachel A

Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo

I believe that it is important to tailor lessons to my individual students, helping to foster a love of music and learning. I think it is important for my students to have goals that they are striving to achieve. They can be big goals, like making it into a college of choice, but I also think small ones are important, like mastering the Bb major scale. We work towards goals and celebrate accomplishments together to help drive each student's passion. Read More

Joe W

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Music Keyboard

Hello, I am a saxophonist, composer, educator and multi-instrumentalist. I began playing the saxophone at age 12 and from the moment I first touched the horn, I was hooked. After becoming more familiar with the jazz language, I quickly became further immersed in the jazz scene back home in Dallas. During high school I performed in many jazz festivals, competitions and local bands that furthered my artistry and understanding of the music I am playing. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Bass Guitar Harmonica Mandolin Electric Violin Fiddle Double Bass

My teaching experience spans 6 years. I've taught all ages, so I'm comfortable with everybodys learning pace. In college I studied under the Latin Grammy award winning La Catrina Quartet, and I hope to pass down the knowledge I gain from that experience to my students. With my students, I take them step by step through were they are as a musician, to were they need to be. My experience working in ensembles will also expand my students ability to play in groups of all sizes (which will often happen). Read More

Conrad D

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I was introduced to music early on by my parents. Being classically trained on the piano I started playing and writing songs at the tender age of seven. My early piano influences are Mozart, Beethoven and Gershwin amongst others. Growing up, I became even more influenced by Pop, R&B, Funk, and Rock artists from the likes of  Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Prince. As a teenager in high school, I performed recitals and played in rock bands, and picked up the guitar and drums to broaden my music repertoire. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Carey M

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided at a very young age that I wanted to pursue music professionally and I never changed my mind. I learned to play flute in fifth grade and by middle school I knew I wanted to do this for a career. 28 years later I still haven’t changed my mind.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I do have a few musical family members. I have an aunt who played piano, organ, oboe and Clarinet and a grandmother who played flute and piano. I am the only one in my family who pursed music professionally.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to perform the Franck Sonata which was originally written for Violin, the Strauss Sonata which was also originally written for Violin and Chant de Linos for Flute and Piano written by Jolivet.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren’t a musician I think I would still be working in the Arts field. I probably would have studied Arts Administration or Entertainment Law and focused on assisting musicians with collective bargaining agreements and mediation.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I really enjoy playing in pit orchestras for theater productions. I have been fortunate to play for shows like Les Miserables, Beauty and the Beast, The Wiz, Once on this Island, Sister Act, Into the Woods, Pippin, Camelot and King and I

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
During a normal practice session for me I like to spend 20-30 minutes warming up with long tones to really get my body, breath and tone focused for work. Then I like to spend 20-30 minutes doing some technique work either through various exercises or etudes. From there I would go into working on whatever flute repertoire I am learning at the time.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Master of Music in Flute Performance and a Bachelor of Music in Flute Performance. I chose these degrees because I love the performing aspect of flute playing. I love being able to share the great works of the flute repertoire with an audience. Performing brings me a lot of joy and satisfaction.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I have a few different teaching methods that I like to use. I generally choose them based on each student individually. My go to method is the Flute 101 series written by Patricia George. I think she does a great job of giving beginning flutists a strong start with the basics of the instrument.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing for most beginners on flute is breathing. As flutists we loose a lot of our air out of the sides of our mouth because we blow across the tone hole instead of in it. Because of this many beginners find learning how to control their air stream difficult.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My students have been selected for District honor band and All-State Band, received college scholarships in music, received superior ratings at our district solo and ensemble festival and often hold the principal chair in their school’s band program. They succeed because of their strong work ethic and dedicated practice. They also set musical goals for themselves and consistently do the work to achieve their desired results.
