For every student. We can work on any material. From Classical to Jazz to Pop to Video game music. I am open to anything they are working on or wanting to work on. The material can be any type of difficult and any style. My job is to teach the fundamentals of flute sound production and make sure the student isnt working so hard to make a beautiful sound. Once the student has a beautiful sound we then work on other fundamentals such as articulation, double tonguing, triple tonguing and more advanced techniques. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Saxophone, Flute
I like to start from the ground up, which means I start with Music Theory. Yes starting off with learning how to play the instrument is great but, if you don't know what you're doing while you're blowing then whats the point? Read More
Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet
Additionally, I like to work with scales and long tones in a more advanced way, expanding the range of the instrument and tone quality as we prepare repertoire. With students interested in jazz, either as their primary course of study or in addition to classical music, we focus even more on scales and arpeggios, aiming to master first the most commonly used keys and then expanding to 12 key mastery. I like to begin with a play-along book like Jamey Aebersold's "Maiden Voyage", stressing the beginnings of improvisation, then moving on to more advanced tunes and chord progressions. Read More
Instruments: Violin, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Recorder, Euphonium, French Horn, Piccolo, Oboe, Bassoon, Music
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with the lesson books you or I provide, preferably Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More
Instruments: Flute
I have taught flute since 2004, as a student at Lamar University, andI greatly enjoy passing on my love and knowledge of music to others. My teaching experience ranges from new beginners to advancing high school students, and I am also willing to take on novice-to-intermediate adult students. In my years of teaching, one of the most rewarding assets is watching each student improve and grow in their musical skills and love of music. Read More
