Music has been my passion since childhood. Having learned at an early age the benefits of music in all areas of life, I want to encourage you to give me an opportunity to impart the knowledge, skills, techniques and passion that has driven me to share this with the world. I am a trained classical pianist and have studied with the best. I have been teaching for years and look forward to spending time with you as you grow in your love for music too! I am an independent recording artist who loves to perform, write and produce good music.

Music is a way of connecting peoples' passions, dreams, and goals. It calms the mind, soothes the soul, and brings joy to the hardest and saddest of hearts. I am currently working on my Bachelor's degree in Music Education at Dallas Baptist University. Needless to say, my life literally revolves around music. I have taken piano since early elementary school and have a passion to share my love of music with others. I have studied under Laura Lozano until graduation from high school and under Beth Quillian at DBU. I have taught piano lessons for a few years now and cannot find another joy that compares to watching a child's face when they find worth in themselves and are proud of the music they are making! I love to find fun and unique ways of teaching the art of performance, skill, technique, theory, and rhythm--no matter the age of the student.

I started playing recognizable melodies on the piano at 18 months old. At that time I was told that I even had perfect pitch. By age 5, my mother started giving me classical, gospel, and improvisational lessons. I was one of her 50 students until my senior year in high school. Through elementary, junior high, and high school, I received a lot of performance experience from school marching/concert bands, choirs, church choirs, piano concerts, band/choral conducting, and composing.

I received my BBA in Finance from the University of Texas at Arlington; through college and to the present, I have received over 25 years of performing/directing experience from overseeing two mega-church music ministries. At these ministries, I served as the department head, responsible for lead piano, directing, arranging, worship leading, and departmental oversight.

I have produced 7 personal instrumental projects, and I have produced and recorded over 40 projects for other local, regional,...

I was born and raised in Bloomington, Indiana, where I took piano lessons from age eight through college. I graduated from Indiana University, which has one of the top-rated music schools in the country, with a BA in History and French and a minor in music. Music has always been a central part of my life. For several summers I attended Rocky Ridge Music Center in Colorado, where I studied piano and music theory with university music faculty from across the country. In high school I played piano and clarinet in band and received division I ratings at the state solo piano competition. I also have an MA degree in history and have worked as an adjunct college history instructor. Since moving to Texas I’ve taught piano lessons and also worked with Dallas area band students as a piano accompanist for the district and state solo competitions. Besides teaching and performing, I’m a graduate student and am working on completing a PhD in history.

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.

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 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.

Hi, My name is Jamil B. and I studied Vocal Performance at Southern Methodist University's Meadows School of The Arts. Music has been a very significant part of my life from childhood to present day. I enjoy performing and bringing the same excitement I have about music to other people. I have been a vocal coach since 2008 and I hope you will choose me to help bring out the spectacular artist that lies within you.
Hope to see you soon!!

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...

I believe in: the power of music to enrich human existence and create community; the value of all styles of music; the creative potential of every individual; the value of trust, integrity and respect within a learning environment; instilling in an individual an unending belief in ones self; and excellent and inspiring musical mentorship.

I holds a BA in music performance, have over 25 years of professional music experience and am dedicated to providing a quality, comprehensive learner-based music education.

Programs available include: Private guitar and bass lessons, improvisation, music theory, ear training, rhythm studies, fingerboard knowledge and recording,

I have been a musician since the age of 5 and began singing at the age of 15, after which I continued my classical vocal studies at Southern Methodist University. I teach both private voice and piano. I also work as an Elementary Music Instructor in the Dallas Independent School District. My accomplishments as an educator include Teacher of the Year for the 2009--2010 school year as well as Director of the All City Elementary Honor Choir in Dallas.
