Aside from being mostly self-taught, learning the fundamentals, and playing drums since he could hold the pots and pans, Henri is an experienced, focused teacher and musician who really enjoys seeing students achieve their goals and desires musically. He is a goal-oriented individual with a versatile background and a relaxed, "let's have fun while we learn" attitude.

I love teaching and feel that I have a gift for it. I have taught over 250 students - all ages, levels, and styles - who would describe me as a patient, consistent and authentic teacher who gets great results, while maintaining a positive, low pressure teaching environment. My teaching style is "student centered." I believe it is important for students to learn and understand music at their own pace and on there own terms in order to achieve the best results. It is my job to take every opportunity to encourage students' interests while providing them with the tools, skills and knowledge that will transform those interests into unlimited musical abilities.

I am very good with children and served as the Program Coordinator (and guitar teacher) for the Salvation Army Creative Arts Program for Youth in Billings, MT. During my time there I instructed over 200 young people ages 6 to 18. It was a wonderful experience. However, I wanted to boost my skills as a teacher and...

I was born and raised in Guanajuato, Mexico and grew up listening to Mariachi. I moved to the U.S. when I was 12 years old and learned to play the violin. Discovering a hidden passion for the instrument made me learn pretty fast and I became attached and affectionate to the violin. I was the top violin player in high school and made it to many great orchestras. I attended Phoenix College in the field of Music Education, played with the Phoenix Colelge Orchestra, and took private lessons to improve my performance. I have performed with many local pianists, organists, and violinists.

Greetings!

My name is Jennifer and I am a Music Educator! I am an Arizona native and have been involved with music my whole life. I have played the clarinet for 14 years and recently graduated from Arizona State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education. I also hold an Associate's Degree in Music from Eastern Arizona College and a teaching certification in instrumental music education. I reside in Tempe, Arizona and I am currently a high school band director in Mesa, AZ. I have experience with performing in a variety of ensembles including symphony orchestra, concert band, jazz band, small ensembles, and my favorite- marching band!

I currently perform with the Mesa Community College Community Band in Mesa, Arizona.

I am Modern Drumming Professional with 14 years of experience, instructing since 2008. Currently, I perform around the Valley with a professional Jazz Trio. My repertoire and experience also extend to Progressive Rock, Reggae, Pop, Dance, and Country. In pursuing my BA in Jazz Performance, I've been honored to study under the finest award winning drummers in Arizona. Teaching, for me is a great way to be a positive influence and share my passion for music with others. My goal is to help the student to develop excellent skills, technique and study habits to attain their goals as fast as possible.

I first picked up the guitar my junior year of high school, and 14 years later have since moved on to drums and bass guitar as well. I have mastered many different styles and played in several bands and continue to perform at local venues today. I have studied the works of a range of professional artists like John Petrucci of Dream Theater, Paul Gilbert and Thomas Lang on the drums to name a few. I have been teaching a wide range of students, both young and old with great results for over 7 years. Ive taught a 10 year old to play both guitar and drums all the way up to a 45 year old how to have better control on guitar. It is truly a great feeling for me to watch a 10 year old go from having no knowledge at all of drums or guitar, to a month later having solid control of both and all the confidence and enthusiasm in the world. Throughout my time learning and teaching music, I have learned through trial and error what ultimately works best and what doesn't. Ive used all the...

Byron N.

Byron has been teaching guitar for over 20 years to students of all ages.

- My experiences and education helps a student by allowing them to learn music thru guitar and at the same time being able to give them real world advice on how to approach the music business.

- Students benefit from working with me because they come to a teacher that that can give them answers to their questions in technique, theory and business from real world & real life music business experience unlike some teachers that only focus on book answers and have no practical experience.

- What sets me apart from other teachers is that I live what I'm teaching everyday and perusing music in all aspects and not just reaching only (meaning high level recordings, videos, public relations, web design, etc..) everything that you need in the modern world of the new music business.

I will give you the tools you need to learn to play the songs you love! I will help you tailor your Taylor (or any other brand of guitar) to fit your needs!

I am a cum laude graduate of BYU, with a Bachelor's of Music in guitar performance and am currently attending ASU as a Master's student in guitar performance. I have been playing the guitar for 16 years and teaching for 10. My main style is classical, and due to the technical training I have had since I was very young, it has been very easy for me to learn and master other styles such as Rock, Jazz, Blues, Pop, Country, and other styles of guitar. I have a passion for performing and have played hundreds of solo and ensemble concerts. As a classical performer I was the Oregon State champion in their guitar competition for both 2005 and 2006. I have played concerts all over the United States as well as in Spain and Mexico. As a performer of other styles I have played in many bands and have won high school battle of the bands competitions and recently placed 2nd in BYU's battle of the bands 2011. I was a regional finalist in Guitar Center's "King of the Blues" competition as...

Hello there!

I love music! To me, it truly is a universal language, and nothing else can capture and express emotion quite like it. Ever since I picked up a guitar 15 years ago, I've been on a quest to learn and speak the language of music. One discovery I have made along the way is that I love teaching it to others, too!

Over the past 10 years, I've been busy immersing myself in music. The excitement of performing live on stage, the pride of writing a song that touches someone, the reward of watching a student learn something new—these are the things that fuel my passion. My dream is that my students will one day be able to experience these things!

I've been teaching guitar lessons for over 5 years, and I just recently graduated from ASU with a B.S. in psychology. Also, I am co-founder, producer, and engineer at an independent recording studio in Mesa, AZ. This broad range of experience makes me confident that I have lots to offer for every student, beginning to advanced.
