Piano Lessons New Mexico

Instruments: Piano, Keyboard

Hello! I have enjoyed teaching children, competing, accompanying for universities, studying music theory, playing for weddings and nursing homes, and playing at my church for the past eleven years. My piano experience spans over 20 years now, having included exciting opportunities such as the 2016 New Years jazz concert in London at Codagen Hall (Queen Elizabeth wrote everyone a letter thanking them for helping with the celebration!). These past several years have taught me that teaching is an entirely different privilege, skill, and joy to me as I grow in my musicianship alongside my students. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Synthesizer, Keyboard

I teach beginning piano using the Faber Piano Adventures method, as well as the Suzuki method. From there we go into classical training, then on to jazz or pop. This includes music theory, technique, and the major and minor scales. I teach songwriting if you are looking to create songs, and I teach music theory as well as music composition. I teach music production, electronic music production, and all aspects of Ableton Live. Read More

In lessons, I emphasize enjoying the process of learning. Learning an instrument does not happen over night. It takes years of practice and can be a joyful task if one enjoys the process. I send my students home with new goals each week to help guide their practice. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Flute, Music, Keyboard

For beginning students no matter their ability level, I always introduce rhythms at the first couple lessons. Rhythm is one of the most important elements in music playing. Once they can recognize rhythms and count, we will start reading music notes then combing altogether along with playing and singing. I typically use David Carr Glover Method for Piano for beginners along with theory book, technic book and performance book in class. Read More

BASS-much like the guitar except instead of chords, students are taught walking bass lines with 12-bar blues and progress to using chord notation to write their own walking bass lines. Berklee Bass Method is used for notation reading, as well as Jamey Aebersold for the jazz-minded. FLUTE-the hardest thing to do on flute is get the initial sound. Once that's done, the rest starts to fall in place! Body position and proper breathing techniques are taught with sound production, reading fingering charts for G, A, and B get the student started on simple 3-note melodies, applying the notes they learn to simple music notation as they learn more notes, and then getting into the Rubank method to challenge their music reading and finger combinations for notes.
