That’s right! I have been teaching and performing music for 30 years! And, I hope to teach and perform another 30 years! I love music and I love sharing it with others. Music is fun, educational, and inspirational, and my love for it is contagious. I'm the new flute teacher and music appreciation teacher at Tarrant County College Northeast Campus! I'm a flute specialist, but also am a great teacher for piano, voice, and guitar.

I’ve spent most of my life learning as much as I could as fast as I could about music. I completed my Master of Music degree from the University of New Mexico in 1989 and completed 50+ hours towards a Doctorate of Musical Arts from the University of North Texas soon after. I’ve had articles published in “Flute Talk” and “Flute Forum,” and I was the Advertising Editor for the Flutist Quarterly for five years. I am continuing to learn, as I recently purchased "Tiny," my electric bass, and am performing it with the praise and worship...

Hello there! I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education - Vocal/Choral Concentration. I have been singing for the past fifteen years (most years as a bass -- even at 11!) in both church and school. A fun fact to know about me: I did not originally intend to make singing a long-term commitment since I was unaware of school choirs being present! Ever since sixth grade, I have been in some sort of choir every year, whether it is/was a school, church, or community chorus. I was a member of the Fort Worth ISD All-City Honor for 7 years (middle and high school), the Texas Music Educators' Association Region 5 Middle/Junior High School Choir, TMEA High School District Choir (1 year), Region Choir (3 years), and All-State Choir (2 years) With that said, I have learned many new things as a choir student, and I am STILL learning. The greatest thing about teachers is that they are also still learning things while they teach.

I am a singer-pianist. Or a pianist-singer. :-)
I have a bachelors degree in voice performance and a minor in piano.
I have a masters degree in conducting as well as a second masters in piano literature.
My post graduate work is in vocal pedagogy.
I have been a professional teacher and performer for over 20 years. My students come in every model imaginable - and I wouldn't have it any other way. Raw beginner or veteran musician, professional recording artist, College music major or American Idol wannabe.

Music is such a great language for communicating. I grew up with two parents who were professional musicians (mom is a concert pianist) and I also raised 3 children who are professional musicians. We made music our native language in our home. We all have the ability to speak music when it is spoken to us. I don’t ever remember not playing the piano. I started winning piano competitions in high school. I minored in piano, and then did additional post graduate work in...

Jason T. started his illustrious performing career at the tender age of five in day camp volunteering to sing “The Happy Wanderer” a capella for Parent’s Day.

Mounting productions in his garage as a child, he convinced his friends to be in the show with only his father as a reluctant audience member who was toiling away at his work bench. Combine these garage productions with performances on the back patio and it was clear Jason always loved to put on a show.

In the sixth grade, he performed “The Impossible Dream” from “Man of La Mancha” with his red cape pinned to his shirt and wielding his mighty sword assembled from a yard stick and tin foil. At this point, his career in entertainment was firmly embedded in his heart and soul.

Double majoring in Vocal Performance and Education in college, Jason honed his craft performing in operas and jazz vocal groups all the while learning the business side of entertainment.

I love learning, and I love sharing how to learn. I began as a self-taught pianist at age 12, and from ages 14 to the present I have had the experience of studying with some of the most phenomenal teachers of this generation. George Katz, former chair of the Drake University Piano Department and student of the legendary artists Alfred Cortot and Marguerite Long; Jerome Lowenthal, also a student of Cortot (and William Kapell) and former chair of the Julliard piano department, and Jose Feghali, winner of the 1985 Cliburn Gold Medal have been my most influential teachers. From them, I learned how to learn, how to teach, and how to teach learning, which I believe is the most important skill.

As a winner of the 2000 Interlochen Concerto Competition, I had my orchestral debut that year with the World Youth Symphony Orchestra at 16. Following that, I have given concerts all over the U.S., some parts of Mexico, Malmo and Stockholm, Sweden, and in Copenhagen, Denmark.
