Piano with Cory S.

I've been playing and writing music since the age of 5. It all started with a little piano my mother got me from the dollar store. It came with a song that I learned and mastered very quickly. Ever since then, I have been learning as much as I can about music. In middle school, I picked up the trumpet and played it throughout middle and high school. It is always a goal of mine to be the best I can be, so I stayed first chair for the majority of my tenure. At the age of 15, I started to play the guitar. With that as a growing interest, I became determined to join a band. I had a few friends in a band already, and all they needed was a bass player. So, I picked up the bass in order to join. I've been in several other bands of all different types of music ranging from original hard rock/metal to an all cover band with over one hundred songs in the repertoire. I started teaching at Guitar Center in June of 2013, and absolutely loved it! I had many students fighting to get time slots with me, so at one time, I had over 50 students during a week. I have classical training at the University of Houston. Music is not the only subject I can teach, though. I have studied a wide range of subjects at the University of Houston. These subjects include: Reading, Writing (general), writing (technical), math (up to calculus), History (the U.S. from 1500 to present and World History), poetry (critical analysis), U.S. Government, Test Taking and Study Habits, Basic Chemistry, Basic Geology, World Geography, and Public Speaking.
