Piano Lessons in Spicewood, TX

Instruments: Piano Voice

I've been teaching voice and piano, both privately and in public schools, for 12 years in the Austin area. I have taught all ages and styles and am open to any kind of music. I believe in practice and routine as a foundation to learning, but also improvisation and experimentation. I learn best across multiple media and I LOVE using the internet and a variety of applications to supplement my student's studies. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style is very laid back and encouraging. I love seeing a student pick up a new instrument but I usually sense a lot of nerves and bad self talk. I believe when learning anything, one should be comfortable to fail and ask questions. I try to make sure this is understood right away. I have a basic structure at the beginning of my lessons that includes scales and chords, but I like to use the rest of the sessions to work on what the student has been inspired by. Read More

Music has always been the biggest thing in my life. Having come from a very musical family, everyone either sang or played an instrument (usually both). My first singing debut was in Brussels, Belgium at the tender age of 3! I began singing in churches all over America at the age of 6, recorded my first album at 10 and began leading worship at the age of 15, when I also recorded my 2nd CD. Read More

My methods include a number of fundamentals that include scales, technique and learning how to get around the instrument with ease and versatility. For beginners, I like to focus on the George Vance techniques and teaching in order to build a strong foundation. At the intermediate level, I like to find out what the students find interesting and cater the lesson plans around that. Same applies for adult students, I like to see where their interest are and focus on those aspects during the lessons while ensuring that their fundamental chops are at the level they need to be.

I enjoy seeing the rewards of hard work that a student and I achieve. I take joy in using my musical learning endeavors and experiences to educate my students. we start by finding out their desired path, past experiences, current influences, and use these things to map out a plan. From the plan we determine what we'll be learning. Some things may or may not be core or necessary to thier path of learning what they'd like to learn. Read More

For me, nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students grow and develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. When getting to know a student, I try to find out what inspires them and what their hobbies are. Read More
