Voice Lessons Bexar County, TX

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Saxophone, Organ

I've been in the field of music education, production and performance for over 20 years. I have spent half of my life helping others find their path in music. One of the most important lessons I have learned as a teacher is that...."people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care!!!!" I understands that building a relationship with a student is just as important as the information I teach. Read More

Instruments: Voice

I firmly believe in establishing long term goals for which the class is being taught and developed. For beginner students who are children, I tend to lean into the music that they are more fond of listening to and develop an atmosphere of interest while using various colors, singing methods, rhymes that will grasp their attention and in the long run develop their ear. For young adults and up, I develop my lesson plans accordingly depending on their level of musicianship. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice

I spend a lot of class time teaching students how to practice correctly so that when they are practicing alone they will know what to do to make their time productive. I love seeing the pride and self confidence that a student develops from mastering a particularly difficult exercise. I love being able to encourage them and see them through the tough times and be able to celebrate those victories with them. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Organ

For beginning students, I usually start with a reputable method book that will allow them to advance in "grades" as the skills get better.  At earlier stages of learning, the focus is on the technique towards learning the instrument.  As a student progresses into intermediate and advanced stages, several pieces from the solo repertoire (and if available ensemble pieces) become part of the curriculum.  Throughout the advancement in levels, I try to focus on selecting pieces that the indivdual student will have interest in while balancing pieces necessary for learning more difficult musical techniques.

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Music, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

As stated before, I began teaching as a private guitar instructor from 2012 to early 2018. Students' age ranged from 8 to 32 year olds. I taught basic music theory from intervallic relations between certain notes via guitar fretboard to the clear understanding of triads and scales. Mainly Ionian and all its other modes. Plus 12 or 16 bar blues, soloing concepts, covering songs while understanding the written development from a melodic and harmonic standpoint. And of course becoming familiar with all the notes on the fretboard and being able to sight read standard sheet must notation and chord charts. Read More
