I'm a young, enthusiastic piano teacher living in the Arlington area. My musical journey started when I was 10 years old when I received my first piano lesson. Since then, I have been studying piano with several amazing teachers, including some that have studied at the top music institutions in the nation, such as Eastman School of Music, University of North Texas, and the Peabody Institute. At current, I am finishing my Bachelor's in Keyboard Performance with an Emphasis in Piano Pedagogy at the University of Texas at Arlington and have also obtained a Associate of Arts degree from Tarrant County College.

Have you ever wondered if you could play the piano like the person you have heard of admired? The answer if Yes! As a private piano teacher for the past 20 years, I have had the pleasure of seeing students as young as 4 and as old as 70 enjoy seeing their talent become alive as we unlock what has been inside.
I began piano lessons at the age of six and continued for the next 14 years with private piano study. This gave me many levels of education about playing the piano, which I share with my 40 students each week. At the age of 13, I also began to realize that I could listen to a song, look at the chord and notes on the music, and put them together to make the song sound like it should. This was fantastic! I realized I could play by ear and read music, which is a strong focus of my teaching methods...to make sure a student is proficient in both areas.
While attending Oral Roberts University, I also studied music there. I am currently pursuing a plan for a Masters of Music...

Hello Students/Parents

I have been playing the piano for about 10 years.

I have gained my experienced playing at home first, then after i completed my training in piano, i started playing for churches and bands.

I have been fortunate enough to be exposed to almost every genre of music, from Caribbean to european, without forgetting american music.

So whether it's classical, pop, rock, jazz-beginner, gospel, or pretty much anything you've heard in the radio or any new vibes you might have been thinking of, i can help you.

I'm a student teacher. So, expect me to be funny, friendly and really patient.

And as a young teacher, my style is a little bit different then the traditional teachers. I don't impose my materials. My job is to help you have a great experience in achieving your goal

20 years of Professional Piano teaching experience with children of different ages and levels. Some of my students have participated in international piano playing competition. I have a Masters Degree in Music Education. I have been a Piano teacher for children at US military bases in Germany and Italy, and at a Music Schools in Russia.

I have a diverse, mixed-up, wonderful background. I have wanted to do something with music and performance since I was 3-years-old. I have been able to foster that goal through work in the professional film and television industry as well as professional theatre (and no, the word is not misspelled despite what spell-check would have you believe and I would love to explain why.). However, my greatest love has always been teaching. My education includes training in theatre, film, television, music, voice, and communication. I received my BA in Fine Arts and Humanities from the University of Nebraska at Kearney and my MS in Communication Studies at Texas Christian University. I am a member of the Music Teacher's National Association and constantly strive to improve both my abilities and myself. My greatest teachers, however, have always been my students!

I teach my students how to understand how music is put together so they can learn even more on their own.

I read, write, and play all styles and I focus on teaching the student fundamentals that work in all styles of music ....AND I get them going on the style they are interested in - pop, rock, country, folk, etc.

I have spent my entire life in the music industry and I can show you how to use what I teach to apply to the real world. I have also been a successful songwriter and I can work with students to learn about song structure and song writing.

I am also good at preparing students for college music classes.

Born in Arlington, Texas, I began playing guitar and bass guitar in high school. After studying for several years under Joey Faust, I studied Jazz, Classical Guitar, and Music Theory at TCC in Fort Worth. I've been teaching since 2003, my students ranging in age from 3 to over 70. I also play piano, mandolin, banjo, and ukulele.

How I judge my success is by how well my students assimilate my pedagogy. I take complicated concepts and do my best to make them understandable. If you have performance fear, I want to en-courage you. If your technique will harm your product, I want to help you change your approach. If you get tangled up in the language of music, I smooth the confusion through a variety of different media. If you hunger for self-expression, I can put you in an environment which is limited only by the amount and the way that you practice.
I think really good teaching is a constant learning process. The best thing about my having taught for 15 years as a choir director and group/private piano teacher in the Texas public school system is this: if you, as my student, have a problem understanding something, odds are that I have found a way to explain it or a similar issue with one of the thousands of students I've taught over the years.

I have a Bachelor's in Music, Masters...

My interest in music came from the fact that my mother was a classical pianist and I took lessons for a couple of years until the lure of rock and roll pulled me toward the guitar! My tastes later expanded to include Jazz and I studied at University of North Texas (received Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Studies). Through my studies there I became interested in solo classical guitar and was later offered a teaching fellowship which allowed me to return to the university and branch out into composition, transcribing piano music for the guitar and further theory studies as well as completing a Master of Music degree in Classical Guitar Performance.

Since then, I have enjoyed playing solo guitar, in small chamber ensembles, in pop cover bands, jazz combos, and especially writing,performing and recording with my own band, Fury III. I find that this diversity helps me to find common musical ground with most students. I have also taught recently at Tarrant County College and...

Hello Everybody My name is Kevin and I go by “K.P.” in this wonderful music world. Here’s a little bit about myself…. I have been playing R&B, Jazz, and Gospel piano/keys professionally for over 10yrs. I love music and have a heart to teach and build character as a musician/artist. I have toured across the U.S. and across the country from Japan to Europe playing for all types of artists in the genre’s of gospel, jazz, and R&B. I graduated from the University of North Texas with a (BAAS), and was over the University of North Texas Voices of Praise (V.O.P) Gospel Choir from 2004-2006. I also have certification degree for audio engineering/music business and production at Media Tech formally (Dallas Soundlab). From there I have gain experience in working with Grammy winning artists and musicians such as Myron Butler and Shaun Martin. I have experience in mixing and producing; and with that have completed and worked on 5 albums!

I would first like to say that I was born into a musical family. My Dad (choir director) and five older brothers were not only the majority of the choir in our large Catholic church, but Dad had a "tame" Frank Sinatra singing style. My mother played harmonica and piano by ear so acquiring musical intellects spread quickly to all of us. Most of my siblings sang and played instruments as we had a piano, guitar, organ, harmonica, trumpet, clarinet and a recorder to use as we pleased, with or without a music teacher.

I started singing and playing the piano at age four, started piano lessons at age six and self-taught myself guitar around 2nd or 3rd grade. Our family's music teacher told my parents, "She plays by ear, just let her go." Consequently, with consistent encouragement from my oldest sister (a professional organist for 40+ years), I learned piano and music theory while I was learning to read English. I learned the basics of voice while in choir from middle school...

I love teaching music to anyone who has an interest! Just about everyone likes some kind of music and I want to be able to help you make your own! Whether you like classical music or that really great song on the radio we will get you to where you can play it.

MY PHILOSOPHY

Music touches our lives every day. Music is there for us to help express our emotions feelings, fears and hopes. With what you learn in your lessons you will be able to make your own music, whether it be from the printed page or something that you have composed yourself. I will provide a teaching environment that will be encouraging and caring. We will work together to create great music from your very own fingers and who knows, maybe one day you will share your talent with the world!!!

MY EDUCATION

My story started on the day my mom said “HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHER!! Today, for your 7th year birthday, you are going to start taking piano lessons!!” Well, I didn’t know what to think about that...
