Instruments: Piano Saxophone
I began teaching part-time in 2018, when I took on my first student in my final year at University. Since then, I have made a point to take on students who are eager to learn and excited about music. I have found during my time that every student loves to learn relevant skills that build toward an end goal, and I encourage my students to branch out and try things outside of our lessons to great success!

Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Music Keyboard
I strive to create an environment in my lessons where students have free to explore and express their passions and find their voice to become great musicians and people. In my lessons, I prioritize three main goals: technical proficiency, music literacy, and the performance of enjoyable repertoire. These goals are taught through age and experience-appropriate method books, along with supplemental technical materials that are shared with students as well. Finally, musical literacy and technique come together in application of repertoire! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Acoustic Guitar
I love teaching music! But, what's more, I throughly enjoy sharing the gift of music with my students. I believe that passion fuels action. If I want my students to be actively engaged in the learning process. I have to do my part as the teacher and involve the student in the music choosing process, before I can involve them in the music making process. If my students are clearly not passionate about the song that we are working on together in lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ
My teaching experience, on the individual and private level, goes back to my college days where I would tutor other students in piano to pass their keyboard barriers. While in the active duty military (I'm retired now), I provided private lessons to children and adults in my available time. It is important to remember that a student's individual practice time is invaluable; the lesson time is NOT supposed to be the first time to be reviewing an assigned piece! Read More
Instruments: Piano
My teaching style is one in which students will feel comfortable, relaxed, and self motivated. I am patient, encouraging, and flexible with my students. They will set short and long range music goals and will have fun practicing their lessons and working to reach their goals. All students are different and will learn at a different pace. I praise my students for their accomplishments and hard work. It is very important to me that my students leave their piano sessions feeling happy and looking forward to their next piano lesson session. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Synthesizer Recorder Electric Violin Fiddle Orchestral Percussion Music Keyboard
Everyone has the capacity to be a musician...therefore, I teach students of all ages and include all cultures (all styles and musical genres). No one is a 'beginner' when it comes to recognizing great music, so I strive to create musicians who can reach their own goals...thus, building independence is the key: My job is done when my students can do what I do without needing me! For more experienced students, I assess your present skills upon our first lesson via a variety of repertoire so as to 'diagnose' what areas you need improvement on musically speaking. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
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. Read More

When will I start to see results?
You can start seeing results immediately! Of course, there are some things that require more attention that others. Some bad habits are less noticeable and harder to break than others. But for other things, the difference can be like flipping a switch! There are a lot of things about singing well that are easy to understand. The problem is often that, unless someone points out what you're doing wrong, you can go your whole life without really noticing what it is. You might be able to listen to a recording of yourself and know that something is off, but figuring out what it is and how to fix it is a whole other issue. That is where getting a trained teacher can be so valuable.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Whether it's singing along with one of the middle vocal parts in Toto's "Africa," or singing Bass in a barbershop quartet, I always think it is so much fun to make harmonies. That is why I've been in so many choirs and small ensembles throughout my experience as a musician, and why my Ph.D dissertation is all about studying harmony.
Singing has also been a great help to my personal life. Improving your singing voice can be a very personal journey. There is no hiding faults, and no way to shift the blame to something else. But having the confidence to get up and sing in front of a crowd of people is a great skill to have. If you can sing in front of people, you will find that giving presentations at work, networking, and meeting new people all tend to come much easier.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
There is an old saying, "practice makes perfect." This isn't exactly true. If you practice in the wrong way, improvement can be very slow, or sometime reinforce bad habits. That is why having an instructor is so important. Conscious, planned practice is what makes perfect. You have to know which techniques you are practicing, and what to listen for in order to make sure that you are doing it right.
Another important thing to remember is not to overdo it. The voice is a delicate instrument, and it is easy to damage. 30 minutes a day practicing is plenty. The main thing is that you practice consistently. Without regular maintenance, good habits can break while bad ones creep back in.
