Piano Lessons Texas

Instruments: Piano, Voice

I prefer the Bastien Piano method for piano instruction when teaching children.   I feel it offers a great foundational approach, well rounded, sequential, and motivating for students.  When teaching beginning adults, I teach the basics, always keeping their goal and interests in mind.  I also have much experience teaching/coaching Worship Leaders who need to play keys and sing, and have many years experience in this role myself.  I have conducted numerous children's choirs, and adult choirs as well. 

Instruments: Piano, Flute

Teaching Methods: For beginning piano students, I use either the Bastien Piano Basics or the Faber Piano Adventures series. For children kindergarten or younger, I use the PiAnimals series. These methods are supplemented with solo repertoire and scales. For beginning flute students, I use the Rubank series. Etude books for intermediate through advanced students are more indiviualized depending upon the student's needs. These books are supplemented with tone exercises, scales, and solo repertoire.  

Teaching Styles: I encourage rather than push. The teacher-student relationship is a two-way street. I give each student 100%, and I encourage them to do the same. But I won't push them if they don't give their all. Instead I work with them. I encourage them. I help them set attainable goals so they can succeed.

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Drums, Bass Guitar

I began as a formal teacher during my senior year at The University of New Haven, teaching private instrumental lessons as well as tutoring existing students in theory and other music classes. I have taught students as young as 5 years old as well as adults much older than myself with incredible results. My primary instruments are guitar and drums/percussion. I have also taught numerous piano and bass guitar students all whom have recieved a great start to their musical journey. I also have formed great relationships with my students and have had a majority of them stay with me for many years. 

Instruments: Piano, Violin, Cello, Viola

I have a motivational teaching style.  I really love to see the passion for music in my students and like to help them succeed in any way possible.  I use positive reinforcement to keep my students motivated.  I love to make games out of lessons so the lesson feels like fun.
