I've has been involved in music for most of his life. I started playing piano at an early age and was involved with a church bell choir as well. During High School, I played in the Bishop Lynch High School marching band drumline as well as the school’s symphonic band. At the tender age of 16, I picked up the guitar, inspired by the Guitar Hero game, little did I know how difficult the real thing was! I persevered and discovered that music was my true passion and in 2009 was accepted into the University of North Texas’ prestigious music program. During this time, I played in the Trinity United Methodist’s worship team for a year and half, playing both lead and rhythm in the band. I graduated magna cum laude from UNT in Spring 2012 with a bachelors in music with a concentration in classical guitar.

Good morning, Good afternoon, and Good evening, to one and to all! My name is Andre' and I'm here to tell you a little bit about myself and how I can help you reach your dreams. Firstly, I, myself, started off as a self taught pianist when I was 9 years old in elementary school. No I did not think I'd love the crap out of piano 14 years later! It just happened that way and I'm very content and comfortable with the decision that I've made.

Over the course of years I have started and stopped my piano lessons from time to time! Some of us need breaks and I understand that completely. To play the piano takes major discipline, focus, concentration, and knowledge. I have had the privilege to have taken lessons from some of Dallas' most influential piano teachers (To me anyways!). Pierrette Mouledous, currently head and founder of the piano department at Eastfield College, who herself, has taken lessons from legendary musical performers such as Alfred Cortot, Paul Kolvalov, Isabelle...

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 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.

I believe that music is not only a gift but a vital part of the human experience. Whether as a listener, performer, or composer it influences our society as a whole and individually. At a very early age I was exposed to all the usual classic rock and pop music of the 50's, 60's, and 70's through my parents. Having a keen interest in how this music was created I started piano lessons at age 9, cello in middle school, and then guitar and bass shortly followed. During high school and college I performed and recorded with several bands, symphonic orchestras, vocal ensembles in genres ranging from rock, pop, funk, folk, jazz, classical, and electronica. I studied music theory and composition under Dr. Jerry Wallace at Richland Community College while continuing my private lessons in guitar, bass, cello, and piano.
After college I moved to Santa Fe, NM to assist in managing Groovey Studios. I also performed and recorded with not only pop and rock artist but many Native American artist....
