Viola Lessons Texas

Instruments: Violin, Viola, Recorder, Fiddle

My goal is for students to love playing their instrument so much after every lesson that they are motivated to keep working on concepts outside of their lesson time. Thus far, all of my private lesson students practice outside of their lessons, and I hope to keep it that way! I believe that all students are capable of learning music regardless of preconceived notions about talent level. I understand that people have busy schedules, but I expect them to make some time to practice outside of lessons even if it is only for 10 or 20 minutes per day. Read More

Depending on students age and ability, I use different kind of methods.

For more advanced students I like to set learning steps, that way my students can achieve goals quickly and feel more engaging to practice. Read More

I have been teaching since my late high school years. I have taught various private lessons part time in the Houston area and aided some of my teachers in teaching 5th grade strings. When I entered college, I started teaching middle school students privately in the Waco area and teaching general music education in Baylor's OsoMusical program for special needs children. I love seeing the interesting ties between elementary and secondary music education and the impact of the basic foundations of music! Read More
