Instruments:
I have been a musician almost my whole life, starting out as a singer in a children's church choir when I was five. I started playing cello in the fourth grade through the public school system in California. I am classically trained, but I love all different styles of music. One of my strengths as a string player is improvisation. I have played with many different pop, rock, and folk bands over the years and that's the kind of music I enjoy playing the most. I teach from age 8 up and while I love teaching all ages, I especially love teaching adult beginners. My personal philosophy is that it's never too late to learn! I currently work as a full-time Academic Librarian, and teach music on nights and weekends.
Instruments:
As an instructor of music, I ask for the very best of my students. And in turn, I will give them my very best to ensure that they become fluent in they instrument of choice. My style is simple, fun, and effective. My style takes on a real world approch to mastering your instrument.
Instruments:
My teaching experience is :I have taught piano on and off since my early 20's to begginer-Advanced stage students, mostly children 6-12. I am 41 years old and teach in a Early Childhood Center in the morning. I am from Brazil and got my B.A. Degree in Arts in 1998. Have worked in other fields here in the USA, but have maintained my private piano students in my house/studio throughout the years. Now I am fully committed to the Education field again, enroled in the Texas Teacher Certification program for the ISD, to be finished this fall/winter.
Instruments:
I thoroughly enjoy customizing each student's lesson according to their learning ability and make sure they excel and have fun. I utilize most of the time the Bastien Piano method both for school age and adults. When I feel the student is ready I supplement quite a lot with the Hanon exercises,Czerny and the Master Theory workbook(this works very well with the student who also desires to learn to play by ear as well.) For repertoire I emphasize classical pieces and also help the student with pop and holiday pieces;i.e- Schumann's Album for the Young, Beginning Bach minuets,Bach and Clementi sonatinas,etc.
Instruments:
For as long as I have been involved in band, I have been leading to some degree. I was lucky in my upbringing that music was a steady part of my life, from singing in church, to piano lessons, to rocking along to 80's hits with my Mom on the daily drive to school! In college, I began leading trombone ensemble rehearsals as well as daily trombone quartet rehearsals, culminating in many amazing performances around the country. Beginning in August of 2016, I began teaching private lessons full-time in the Lewisville and Plano Independent School Districts, reaching fifty students each week by the end of my first semester. This experience has greatly streamlined my teaching, and I take pride in the individual care that I place in each lesson. I believe that engaging and motivating the student is the responsibility of the teacher, and I routinely use examples from the student's personal interests in order to encourage absorption of the material. My students are consistently asked to inundate themselves with the language of music! If you want to learn a new language, it helps to watch a few soap operas!

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
