Piano Lessons in Elmendorf, TX

Instruments: Piano Oboe English Horn

As a teacher, I emphasize a positive-focused teaching method. I work with each student as an individual, based on their goals and learning styles. In lessons, I focus on relaxed, correct posture and playing position, in addition to ensuring rhythms, pitch-reading, and theory are understood. I also spend time with students focusing on expressive aspects of music, with the goal of performing in a studio recital or other venue. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Music

Typically, I like to start every lesson by spending some time working on specific vocal techniques. Good fundamentals are very important - developing good singing habits while getting rid of bad ones is key to consistent improvement. I believe that as a teacher, the best thing I can do for a student is to give them the tools to succeed outside of the lesson. We also spend time practicing musicianship skills, which means time spent on ear-training and learning to read music. Read More

As a working musician, father, and all-around avid hobbyist, I love to devote myself to the things in my life that are truly important. I view every lesson as an opportunity to learn, challenge myself, and grow as a teacher and in my day-to-day life. I have played music since 2008, when I joined my middle school band as a percussionist, then switched to saxophonist. I hold a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Composition from the University of North Texas, and have had my works premiered all over the world. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Euphonium Music Keyboard

I began teaching trumpet when I was a high school student. My students were middle school aged peers within my school district that needed additional guidance. While in college, I maintained two dozen or so students within my own private studio. Some of these students were non-music majors that were given to me by my own voice professor. My primary instrument is the human voice. A complicated yet versatile instrument that is unique in every person, and as such should be treated with specific pedagogical methods that best suit a student's age, skill level, and learning style.

I have learned so much over the past few years teaching and professionally performing. I taught children ages 4-18 piano, voice and dance lessons.

I like to connect with the student over common likes and dislikes. My style of teaching is positive and encouraging. Read More
