Rosendo S

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium French Horn Tuba Oboe

I have been a music educator in the public schools for over 40 years having taught in Austin, Texas and currently in Fort Worth, Texas. Many of my students have gone to play their instruments in college bands throughout the state. Several former students are currently teaching music at the secondary and college level. I do not approach my teaching to focus on a student's future as a musician. All make individual choices on musical endeavors. Read More

Yusef M

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Organ

I've been in the field of music education, production and performance for over 20 years. I have spent half of my life helping others find their path in music. One of the most important lessons I have learned as a teacher is that...."people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care!!!!" I understands that building a relationship with a student is just as important as the information I teach. Read More

Michael A. G

Instruments: Saxophone

My teaching experiences have come from my time spent playing in a variety of ensembles in the different colleges that I attended. I was often asked to lead groups in rehearsal and this was where my teaching experiences first began. It started with my colleges Big Band and then with a Saxophone Quartet. Being able to lead a group of musicians and helping them get better everyday was the most fulfilling feeling I got during my time in school and pushed me to try my hand at teaching younger students.

Carlos F

Instruments: Saxophone Flute

I began teaching privately since 2004. Here in US, I taught at The New England Conservatory Preparatory School and Berklee College of Music Outreach Program as well at University Of North Texas as a teacher fellow. After several years teaching, I have learned that every students is a different world. Somehow my teaching protocol I will be always customized or adjust to the student's capacity. But one very important factor doesn't change, I'm referring to a consistency on individual practice between lessons. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Kevin C

Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I officially decided when I made the All-State Band in high school. Competing, being successful at it, and experiencing playing in such an amazing ensemble, meeting John Mackey, and performing an unforgettable concert for a full audience with several standing ovations what such an impactful experience.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music actually does not run in my family. I have had a few family members play in middle school or high school groups such as band, orchestra, or choir. However, I am the first in my family to be successful at it and to pursue music as a profession.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I am not sure what my favorite style/genre of music to play is, but I know I love playing music by Percy Grainger. He writes so many fun and challenging lines for the clarinet whether it's for Bb, Eb or bass clarinet. I am just a big fan of his music.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I also play saxophone. I decided to start playing it, because it is so much fun to play. Also, it has a lot of transferrable skills from the clarinet.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Hmm, I probably would have gone into the medical field to become a physician or I would have gone the math route and became an engineer. I loved the three m's: math, medicine, and music. I guess I can it four m's andkl include military, since I currently serve in the Army Reserve.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The reed alone presents a challenge, but I think managing voicing on the clarinet is particularly challenging. This is especially so, because of how the embouchure needs to remain fixed and the tongue position needs to remain high.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes, I have had students make All-Region Honor Bands, make the top bands, and even place 1st chair. I've had students make the All-State band, make festivals, and have successful collegiate auditions.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of playing in the 395th Army Band and to earning the opportunity to perform at ClarinetFest this year. It is with a great group of people and I could not be prouder.

When will I start to see results?
For beginners, it will take at least a month before you start to see results. It may take up to a year to be comfortable with the proper fundamentals on your instrument. No matter how experienced one is, there is always room for improvement.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Listen, if he or she is potentially able to hold a clarinet and they enjoy music, I believe they are ready to start taking lessons. However, I can always perform a screening process to ensure the facial structure, hand size, and finger dexterity is there to set the student up for success as best as possible.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Look, it's very easy to practice incorrectly or to get bored. To make practicing as effective as possible, it is very important to have a goal, set a 15-minute timer, and take short breaks. Giving yourself a goal and a time limit forces you to be productive. Taking breaks allows you to not get burnt out.

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.
