Instruments:
Abbas graduated with an undergraduate degree in music composition and a Masters degree in classical guitar from SMU, Dallas, where he studied under Robert Guthrie.
Instruments:
I really enjoy teaching students to learn to read musical notation and develop the skills they need to play the pieces they want. I love to figure out how a student learns, whether it's aurally, visually or even tactually, and appeal to their sensibilities in way that develops their abilities to express themselves musically. So many things go into making music from physical coordination to heart-felt expression, from left hand to right hand, from chest voice to head voice, from tone to dynamics. I show the student how to separate each of these aptitudes and work on them individually to prevent them from becoming overwhelmed and frustrated.
Instruments:
I have been teaching for the last 14 years for other music schools as well as my home studio. I love to help new students from the ages of 4-99 in learning the joys of playing an instrument or instruments that they are going to enjoy. Nothing truly satifies me more than to see a student advance in their insturment as each lessons passes by. Daily quality and not quantity practice is something I like to encourage the student to be able to advance much faster in mastering the instrument. Encompassing many styles of music from classical to modern music is the key I believe will help the student learn. Playing and instrument should be fun and challenging and should not be thought of as a chore for the student.
Instruments:
For piano lessons I generally prefer to use the Alfred curriculum, but am well versed in other options should the student already be accustomed to certain styles. I have assisted students with their Certificate of Merit completion, and worked several students through the entire Alfred curriculum, till they went on to achieve collegiate scholarship opportunities. As a voice teacher, I employ a Bel Canto technique, and specialize in a Musical Theater Style and Classical Background. Vocal health and proper technique are essential to my teaching methods, and of course, having fun!
Instruments:
I use the teaching method as previously described, and try to tailor my style for each student. Everyone learns, practices, and progresses uniquely -- so it's part of MY job to figure out the best approach to help each of my students. My experience in both the civilian and military music communities has given me a very open-minded but direct approach to WHAT you should learn, and HOW FAST you should be able to progress each individual student. Just ask how my style may assist you personally, or ask any questions that you may have. I've been a lifetime musician since I was young, and love finding unique and fun ways to motivate my students. I've worked with most styles of music before, and arranged music for many as well, so I'm very comfortable helping students with a variety of disciplines and interests.

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.
