Voice Lessons in Universal City, TX

Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students succeed in whatever they are passionate about. Whether that be making their Broadway Debut or learning to love music as much as I do. I encourage my students to set realistic goals for themselves at each lesson. I like to make each lesson fun but productive. I like to find commonalities in what I am teaching to their everyday life. With my years of experience both on the stage and off, I know I can give you or your child the very best training one has to offer! Read More

Instruments: Voice

I haven't had much teaching experience, but I have worked with teenagers throughout this last year while getting my Associates of Arts degree over at Lone Star Community College. My high school choir director asked me if I would like to start helping out high school students with providing voice lessons, and of course, I said yes. I helped out three seniors in high school this last semester, and two out of the three of them are actually heading to Texas colleges to pursue a career in music. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ

My teaching experience, on the individual and private level, goes back to my college days where I would tutor other students in piano to pass their keyboard barriers.  While in the active duty military (I'm retired now), I provided private lessons to children and adults in my available time.  It is important to remember that a student's individual practice time is invaluable; the lesson time is NOT supposed to be the first time to be reviewing an assigned piece!

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Music

It is important to me that I provide a warm, comfortable environment for all my students. I strive to meet the student where they are, set goals, and make plans to achieve them. Voice in particular is a difficult thing to learn, since the mechanisms are internal and difficult to see as well as hard to control directly. That is why many teachers speak through visualization and analogy. I make every effort to explain the science behind the singing process, but I also use a variety of teaching approaches that have proven to be effective. Read More

Instruments: Voice

As a vocalist, pianist, and performer myself I understand the importance of the technical aspects of singing, playing, and presenting efficiently. Having a strong vocal and performing techniques has helped me build my stamina, and become a more efficient vocalist, and overall performer. As an instructor I want to give my students this knowledge as well. Within my private teaching studio I am most concerned with teaching my students the basics of healthy vocal production, as well as performance, and presentation skills.  From this foundation they can build their artistry in a healthy and productive manner.

Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard

I have been described by more than one student and several parents who have observed lessons with me as “energetically laid-back”. I have a great passion for music, and it comes through in the excitement I share with my students, with the hope that it inspires them to seek greatness for themselves in all aspects of their lives. We will set goals together, track their progress and they will feel challenged and pushed at times, but empowered with the knowledge that anything can be overcome with patience, persistence, and practice.

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Euphonium Music Keyboard

With beginning students, I tend to focus on the fundamentals for the instrument, and music. An adequate grasp of the fundamentals, along with consistent practice and rehearsal times, lead to a student expediting their abilities. At this point, I will start distributing solo repertoire/literature and duets. I always encourage my students to perform for one another and to their friends and family. Not every student learns the same way. Read More
