Instruments: Violin Viola
I hold four degrees in violin performance and have been teaching for nineteen years. I have worked with students ages 2-adult. I have trained students to be professional violinists and worked with countless beginners and amateurs. I enjoy working with all ages and levels. I teach a mixture of Traditional and Suzuki Methods. I introduce note reading at the beginning of lessons even with young children. I often work from several books at a time focusing on pieces, scales and etudes. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Saxophone Clarinet
I have a great breadth and depth of experience with instrumental music education. Clarinet has been my primary performance instrument, but I have found over the years that the techniques that I use to teach clarinet are easily and successfully transferable to the other instruments that I teach. Besides the clarinet, I also teach saxophone, guitar, violin and piano throughout the Colorado Springs area. Of course the differences have to do with embouchere, fingerings (which are similar to the clarinet), and tone production. Read More
Instruments: Violin Cello
My name is Erick Velazquez. I have been playing cello for 18 years and I love it! I did not start taking lessons until later in my career but once I did I improved dramatically which I why I believe that taking lessons privately is a critical part of learning any instrument. I love teaching students how to play the string instruments because its so much fun to see them improve! Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
Good practicing habits and proper technique are key. Fundamentals are important for the creating of greater skill potential. In the beginning, I do focus on form as well as producing a good tone out of the violin. Piano is similar with form. I believe the skills used in learning music can be used in learning other skills in life. My goal is not to just make a great musicians, but rather to encourage others in their endeavors and to teach a method of practice and learning that can be used in other areas in life. Read More

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My first student captured first place in the Orlando School of Rock n Roll. He started as a beginner with me where we played together during our sessions. I allowed him to venture more into new territory musically, where he then saw the light and subsequently went on to become a music teacher himself while expanding his talent, his view of music, and became passionate about guitar playing.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My best musical accomplishment , other than being fortunate to play next to great musicians has been my sense of playing with feeling, with dynamics that convey the emotion of the song to an audience or another person. My current passion is to not fill the musical space with notes, but play sparingly. BB King said"It's not what you play, its what you don't play." My best accomplishment if to learn when to fill the space, and when not to. That is what gives music life and takes it out of the notes on paper where it is possible to convey emotion to the people you are playing for.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
For me, I feel there is so much to still learn to master an instrument, any instrument.
The hardest thing to do is not getting in a rut. I love rock, swing, jazz, a great symphony. When you see the best musicians play, it is easy to get discouraged. '
So, I try to learn one small thing I can incorporate into my playing that helps me on improve my playing. l suggest to my students to go to YouTube to watch others play, then take the simple instructions on how to play it. Many songs and genres are available and frankly, very helpful.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
In the beginning my primary instrument was the piano because my mother played and seemed to enjoy it so much. Then, in my teen years I was inspired by the Beatles, Hermin Hermits and other popular groups of the 60's. Then, I learned the electric guitar. Loved it. I joined a band consisting of learning musicians like myself.
I played lead guitar playing at the Gulfport Casino and other teen dances. Eventually, I joined other bands like the Tempests and the Emotions, who were sought after throughout Florida teen dance establishments. This time was exciting musically, in both guitar playing and singing, as well as learning playing with feeling and song variations.
