Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
Ever since I was young I was learning all I could about music. I took classes in highschool (even helping my music theory teacher teach the class when she was busy). I graduated from Mansfield University with a degree in Music Education. I also am a signed recording artist so I meet many different types of people in the music business. I have taught over 50 students by now ranging from Piano, Guitar, voice... Read More

I am currently working on an BM in Guitar Performance at the University of Texas at El Paso where I have been taking lessons from Hiram Rodriguez. I first started playing guitar 10 years ago learning rock songs and things of that nature and about 6 years ago I started learning classical guitar. I have taken lessons with John Siqueiros for a short time as well as a master student from the University of Texas at El Paso Edgar Camargo and I took some jazz lessons from Mr. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I encourage progress over awards. It is vital that the singer be able to rely on their fundamental and progress at their own pace to be able to build healthy habits that will last for a lifetime of singing. I try to understand the goals and desires for all students to be able to help them reach that goal in a healthy progression. I am very challenging but singing if supposed to always be fun as well or there is no use in doing it every day. Read More

My experience as a private instructor began as early as when I was a student in college studying music. I have always had a profound passion for teaching at the private level because it really gives me the opportunity to help an individual in a more focused and meticulous manner. I've always believed that music is much more than just reading notes off a book, but have understood that music has many different dimensions, including being able to feel what you're playing, your natural music inclination, your ability to listen meticulously to your sound and your pitch and so many others.

Instruments: Piano Voice
It is important to me that a student both enjoys and learns from their lessons. I strive to make lessons well-rounded. While piano instruction is certainly central to each lesson, I also spend time teaching music theory and ear training. I typically use Alfred's Basic Piano Library method books to achieve this well-rounded approach. The ultimate goal I maintain with students is to see them become independent and proficient learners, as well as to see them making music as a regular part of their lives. Read More
Instruments: Piano
When I started my piano lessons, I worked mostly with the Hanon exercises. Since this book has always been essential material to my learning, I will use this book to teach the beginning students and show them that exercises can also be fun and enjoyable to play, as I find them to be. As the student begins to dominate the basics of piano, I will introduce simple and easy pieces of Classical Music that will not only be fundamental to the beginner student's learning but also of the students liking; this way the learning will also be enjoyable and fun.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing can be a real drag. I myself, have moments or days where I do not feel I want to even look at my instruments. It takes a lot of self determination, motivation, and discipline to play an instrument or sing well. To this I say, make it fun. First, you should choose a piece of music you are motivated to learn and really enjoy playing. Second, repetition is key. I use between 5-10 objects and play the same passages that I am struggling with over and over moving the objects when I play the passage correctly. It makes repetition practice like a game. Third, you should listen to someone performing the piece you want to play, then play it for your self while recording it. Listen to your recording and think about how you want to play the piece. This can be very enlightening and motivating.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any age child can start, but the parent must be willing to work with the child depending upon the age to assist their focus on the task. Obviously, the younger the child is, the more challenging it will be for them to focus for longer periods of time. Nothing is impossible with parental support. I personally prefer my students to have the ability to read. This helps them to read notes on a page, and usually by this time the child also has a little more maturity to deal with a one-on-one lesson.
When will I start to see results?
This depends on the student and their interest. If a student takes what they learned in the lesson and practices at home then results will be immediate. If the student has trouble practicing at home, results my take longer to notice.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I have worked with the Alfred series for piano. I find them leveled really well and they also include a bit of music theory which really develops music understanding.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I first always start with warm-ups. I believe warm-ups really are the building blocks of technique which is vital to learning piano, voice or any instrument under the sun.
Next we look at the level or etude book if we are working with piano or instruments. These songs are short and have a mini lesson/technique hidden in them. These further build the students' ability to play more difficult pieces later.
Last, I always wish that the student choose a piece of music that they are passionate about. This takes all the previous things we have worked on and uses them more authentically. They get a chance to see all their hard work on technique combined to produce something that they are truly interested in.
