Music Lessons Arizona

Instruments: Piano, Organ, Synthesizer, Music

Music is something that gives me a sense of self-gratification, takes me to a whole new world, where everything is right. I've been teaching and making beautiful sound for 45 years. Music express emotions with no words, it is a language of love, love between you and deep inside yourself, it awakens something that you never imagined before, you'll find something that you never lost before, that is with you, deep inside you.

Teaching is a huge responsibilty that I do not take light heartedly. If we as teachers do a suburd job, it will have a huge effect on a students over all life. Musical education teaches us about the mind and body and balance between the two. It teaches us logic, problem solving, and creative thinking in balance with eachother. It teaches us posture, breath, how to think. It teaches us to listen, and to communicate, to engage with others, it teaches us work ethic and how to colloborate with anyone. Read More

Instruments: Trombone, Euphonium, Music

My methods are fairly simple. No matter the age or experience level, fundamentals are key. This includes proper embouchure, good posture, effective warm ups, and a consistent practice routine.

Besides fundamentals I believe the most important element in playing brass instruments successfully is confidence. Read More

I'm a multi-instrumentalist who loves making music with other people. Making music is a fundamental human experience, and too many people feel that it is out of reach for them, or that the only way to participate in music-making is to play in a band or orchestra. I fully believe that there are many valid ways of learning and playing music, as well as calling yourself a musician. My journey has not been typical for a musician: after a lifetime of casual music-making, I decided at the age of 43 to go back to school for a degree in Music Education from The University of Arizona.

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Drums, Music, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I believe that music is something the student should learn to become passionate about. Because of this, my teaching style is more relaxed. I want the students to work on what they are working on (homework from the lessons and songs) because they actually want to improve and become better musicians. I am an open person and am willing to work through any difficulties the student may be having (including mental barriers that may be holding the student back). Read More
