Instruments:
I began teaching lessons in college, and have enjoyed it from the very first day. I try to evaluate each student spefifically and see what they need to improve in the most efficient manner possible. Exercises and drills are present in my lessons, but I always try to teach the bulk of trumpet fundamentals through actual music such as etudes, solos, band music, duets, etc. In this style of teaching, the students can pick what they want to play (after I give them a few guidelines), and we can still target the areas of playing that need work. In my opinion this is far more enjoyable than me giving then no say in what they play and telling them exactly what to practice. My job is to teach how to practice just as much as it is to teach them how to play the horn.
Instruments:
I have been teaching trumpet since 1992. I began my private studio in Lubbock, Texas while I was attending Texas Tech University. I performed in the Tech band, as well as in a brass quintet made up of myself and local brass musicians from the Lubbock area. I performed many weddings and other functions while in Lubbock. I have been in the DFW are since 2003 and restarted my teaching in 2005 after a two year rest. I taught at a local school district in Dallas and throughout my teaching years, I had great success by placing students in All Region bands and orchestras. And a great success by having my studnets score division one ratings in the UIL solo and esnemble contests. I am currently the Head "Royal Trumpeter" at Medieval Times, Dallas Castle. I perform most nights and when the Castle is open. I have been at the Dallas Castle since 2010.
Instruments:
I have been a music educator in the public schools for over 40 years having taught in Austin, Texas and currently in Fort Worth, Texas. Many of my students have gone to play their instruments in college bands throughout the state. Several of former students are currently teaching music at the secondary and college level.
Instruments:
I'm a great muscian that loves to have fun while I'm teaching. I can teach the fundamentals as well as developing the skills of listening. I can elaborate later. I can also help with songs you want to learn that might me a challenge for you. I know gospel, contemporary, R&B, jazz, and hiphop. I can help you also develop your own type of style. I will work with you. I went to Prairie View A&M Univ. and I was a part of their Marching Band, The Marching Storm. I played trumpet and french horn. But my #1 instrument is the piano.
Instruments:
The best feeling in my life is the shocked look on a student's face when they discover that they have a fantastic brass sound! There's nothing like it. One of my primary teaching rules is "The Skill Meets the Challenge," which allows me to work exactly at the level the student is at, consistently praising any attempt, successful or otherwise. I believe that learning of any kind requires dedication and a willingness to persist in the face of "failure," therefore I strive to create an environment where the student is not afraid of "failure," and instead recognizes even the smallest degrees of progress. This is the nature of learning. One only learns to juggle by dropping the bags enough times!

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
