First off, thank you for your interest with TakeLessons as it is a great opportunity for students to experience the wonders of music and teachers to continue to pursue the education and be able to establish a strong connect with students.

A little background of myself. I am a recent college graduate from Tarleton State...

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.

Violinist, Pianist, Teacher and Conductor

I graduated December 2010 from Texas Tech University. I have my Bachelor of Music with a Teacher’s Certification in the area of strings and orchestral studies. My principle instrument is the violin and studied under Dr. John H. Gilbert as a part of my degree. I continued secondary piano studies and lessons with Dr. Carla D. Cash at Texas Tech University.

In the Fall of 2010, I completed my degree by doing a full time student teaching at Martin High School in Arlington, Texas. During my time teaching at Martin HS, the orchestra competed in TMEA String Honor Orchestra, where they placed third in the finals. This is the highest placement in this competition they have received since the mid-1980s. During my time in Arlington, I sat as a violin judge for region full orchestra and region string orchestra. I personally conducted 3 of the 5 orchestra and taught each class daily, either in sectionals or group instruction and conducting

Being born into a highly musical family, I have been involved in music my whole life. By the age of about 13, I began giving lessons to my friends and peers, from classical to contemporary styles. Since then I’ve had a passion for helping others develop their own musical voice, and in return it helps me examine my own playing and teaching techniques. Throughout grade school and beyond, I’ve played and performed with several bands ranging in a wide variety of music including blues, country, folk, classic rock and heavy metal. In the fall of 2008 I began to intensively involve myself in the art and life which is classical guitar. Working on technique and interpretation became a large part of my practice schedule and life. Building up my classical repertoire from all time periods including Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and styles such as Jazz and Flamenco, I began performing at school recitals, competitions, public/private parties, and hard rock/metal shows around...

I am a retired orchestra teacher. My experience of 27 years was spent in the Dallas ISD. For 20 of those years I was involved with elementary aged students. Beginning students is my specialty. Gettting those first positions and practice habits is my focus. I have worked with the more advanced student and am able to coach the student into higher playing capabilities. I started with music at the age of 6 singing in church. Then at 10 piano was added to the mix. When I was able to take class in school, I started violin. I continued to sing in choir at church and orchestra at school. When the time came to decide for college it was most definitely violin that I would concentrate. My parents were not able to do more than occassionally assist in monetary contributions so I worked two jobs and carried a full load of college hours. I have a Bachelor of Music and a Master of Music Education from University of North Texas in Denton. When I graduated there were not that many openings...

Music has always been a part of Josh Collins. He started playing around with instruments at the age of three and singing at the age of seven. He instantly fell in love with music and grew a passion for it. At the age of five he attended his first musical concert, Garth Brooks. Josh loved every minute of it and he could see himself on a stage like Garth Brooks in the future. One day he heard someone playing guitar down in an alley and from that day forward he knew he wanted to play that instrument and it would become his specialty. In high school he played in the jazz band and was the lead guitarist. He also picked up the trumpet and played it in the jazz band. During his high school days music became his life and he created his own personal band. He wrote songs for his band and learned how to mix and record all of his own songs. When he graduated high school Josh pursued music in every way. He continued to play in bands and was on stage anytime he could be. Later he...

OK, so who is Clinton L? First let me say that I am a person who loves music and loves to teach! I was very lucky in that my father was a musician. His main instrument was the Steel Guitar but he played just about every instrument except drums. That is how I kind of got my start and I followed in his footsteps.

I started banging on the drums when I was 8 years old. When I was a sophomore in High School I joined the Stage Band as well as starting a combo. I actually did my first professional gig when I was 13. Our stage band won numerous awards. It was an honor to have had the opportunity to contribute to that success. I was also fortunate enough to celebrate a few outstanding musician awards along the way.

After high school, it was off to NTSU, now UNT. I was lucky enough to get a scholarship and attended UNT for over six years. It was then that I began private teaching.

Now I am a full time musician and teacher. I believe one of my biggest strengths is the...
