Instruments:
I've been playing the piano since the age of four. Music has always been my passion, and I love passing this wonderful knowledge on to others. I love teaching younger children, but I also enjoy working with people of all ages, including adults. I believe that music is not a "one size fits all" experience and that it is important to focus on the needs, aspirations, and desires of the individual. I also believe that performance is a great way to motivate students, as well as reward them. However, considering the fact that some students may be uncomfortable with going on stage in front of people, performance is not required. Overall, I'm very excited to work with new and interesting people and I always look forward to connecting with others using the power of music.
Instruments:
By customizing each student's instruction I make sure they acquire the basic fundamentals first,emphasizing theory,hand placement,posture,etc. I especially like utilizing the Bastien beginner method books but have also used Faber and Alfred. I also include the Music Theory workbook for all age levels. Praise goes a long way and I believe encouragement is a big key every little step of the way. Each student has their own way of expression so I try to teach to that avenue. For intermediate to advanced students I prefer Czerny and Hanon exercises along with the Scale Skills books.
Instruments:
I teach to the student's wants, desires, abilities, time and goals. I understand that some people want to just download chords of their favorite classic rock songs from the internet, and play them as quickly as possible, without learning to read and write music. Another student is interested in studying music theory, classical music's greatest hits, and how to read and write music. Obviously, it would be absurd to try to teach these two students with the same method. However there are good methods to teach both of these students. The key to learning any musical instrument is practice. If the student doesn't practice, they will not improve very much. Just like anything else in life... what you get back equals what you put in.
Instruments:
I have three areas of emphasis in my teaching: provide the student with a balanced repertoire, demand correct technique, and require a solid foundation in music theory. I will provide my students with opportunities to participate in recitals, festivals, contests, and state theory exams.
Instruments:
I am a music educator, performer, and recording artist with more than 40 years of experience. I studied classical music at The Peabody Consevatory of Music and Jazz at Berklee College of Music. I have studied with and taken private lessons from many great musicians. I have performed with and opened for numerous national acts such as James Brown, Patti Labelle, Chaka Khan, Chick Corea, The Rippingtons, and many more. I currently perform as a freelance musician and music educator in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

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.
