Voice Lessons in Humble, TX

Instruments: Piano Voice

Piano students: I usually use the Piano Adventures method, as I find it very methodical and balanced. In each class we do exercises to improve technique, sightreading, and performance along with music theory exercises. In a second part of the lesson we work on the songs having as main goal the creation of a repertoire that the student can play later to family and friends. I like to include some singing in my piano lessons too. Read More

I always give positive feedback on any execution before talking about things we can improve on. I do this to let them know that they are doing well, but we can always strive to get better. I always ask "how does that feel" and "do you understand"? I do this because singing should never hurt. If it hurts then its wrong and we need to correct it. I ask the second question, again, to make sure there are no communication barriers and to make sure I am explaining things in a way that they understand. Read More

I like to get an idea from the student and the parent what their expectations are for music lessons. From there, the student and I come up with musical goals to accomplish for that year. We create a practice schedule based on the student's school and extracurricular activities and try to follow that schedule as much as possible. I also like to incorporate other styles of music such as popular Broadway pieces and Contemporary pieces into the student's repertoire so that they can have greater diversity in their piano playing or singing.

With more than 35 years in professional music, I have been able to understand that the mental attitude and the openness of the sensitivity to face the music that you are going to do at a certain moment is what makes the difference. Although you have many technical skills in your instrument, if you do not feel what you are going to play and you are not mentally safe and calm, relaxed, the music that will come out  You will not touch any heart.

I began teaching in my undergraduate years and continued throughout my years in Indiana. I have taken pedagogy class in my graduate studies. Therefore, I can provide anatomical details about the vocal mechanism to help you understand singing in a deeper level. I always have a teaching plan for each of my students so that I keep track of their progress. Also, I often encourage them to listen to different recordings to let the style grow in their pursuit of music. Read More
