    Lesson Details
    My teaching style is flexibly structured and laid-back. I want my students to relax and enjoy their lessons and learn at the best pace for them. Not all students are the same, and I enjoy tailoring lessons to meet the needs of each individual.During my lessons, a number of topics or exercises will be covered. Students will learn extensive musical theory along side their regular pieces of music. Many manners of technique or play-style will also be described, as well as occasional ear training to ...

    About
    Thank you for visiting my profile! I'm confident you will find me a more than able teacher for your musical needs! To start things off, I'll tell you a bit about myself.

    After moving here in 2000, I began taking piano lessons at the age of 10. I was classically trained and progressed quite quickly, tackling many challenging pieces in the years to follow. In my time training on piano, I was taught college level music theory while I was 16 years old, and completed 2 Texas State Theory Tests ...

  • Rated 5 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Very good teaching skills and communication. I am very happy and satisfied with my teacher, he is encouraging and friendly so I am very comfortable in my lessons. November 18, 2012
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Marlon does an excellent job! We really like Marlon. He does an excellent job, is always on time (or early) for each lesson, and our son has progressed very well under Marlon's tutelage. Further, Marlon stresses theory and fundamentals rather than just teaching our son how to play a few songs. While that might sound tedious, our son really enjoys his lessons. After some bad experiences with organized musical instruction in public schools we were looking for some way to reassure our son that playing an instrument is truly a rewarding experience; thanks to Marlon our son now "gets it"! September 22, 2012
    Rated 5 out of 5 by A parent Marlon has been instructing my 8 yr old son on the electric guitar. He has made each lesson plan specific to my sons level of experience. His lessons are easy for my son to grasp and to hang on to. He leaves detailed instructions on each homework assignment. He is wonderful with children. He has made my son very excited about learning. Marlon has also been very flexible with me on our scheduling. He will always try to work around any changes that need to be made. He is making this a wonderful experience for us and my son braggs about his lessons all the time. Thank you marlin. Thank you very much July 28, 2012
    Rated 5 out of 5 by I have never had any voice lessons the past years I've been singing, I always always hesitant about the results and if I could really improve or not. Working with Marlon has definitely helped me in so many ways in just the little time and has so far made me so glad that I signed up for these lessons!! Now I sing stronger and he's helped me get to a higher range than ever! I'm definitely improving and so very thankful for these lessons!!! July 2, 2012
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Marlon has been very helpful with my daughter, she is learing alot. Before these lessons my daughter had no knowledge of how to play the piano. He is patient and applies diffrent techniques to help help learn the material better. We are looking forward to see how well she grasped the lessons when they come to an end. May 18, 2012
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Great Instructor!! Marlon has been a great piano instructor for my 7-year-old daughter, who is a beginner. He is very encouraging and patient, and offers a vast musical knowledge base. Under Marlon's instruction, my daughter has made incredible progress! February 22, 2012

  • Getting Started

    Excited about jumping into music lessons? Before you can get to the guitar tabs, violin concertos, and vocal riffs, take a moment to think about the logistics of your lessons.
    Lesson Length
    There are a few things to consider when choosing between 30-, 45- or 60-minute lessons. First and foremost, take your age and experience level into account. You'll also want to think about your long- and short-term goals, and the time you'll need to reach them. Most importantly, consider how long you or your child is able to stay focused.
    Lesson Location
    Teachers have the option to display availability for in-home, in-studio, and online music lessons. In-home lessons take place at your house, in-studio lessons are conducted at the teacher's home or professional studio, and online lessons are taught over the internet via live video chat.

    Book Your Lessons Online

    Scheduling your lessons is simple and quick! The prompts will guide you through each step, from securing your lesson time to selecting the payment plan that works best for you.
    Scheduling Lessons
    After you've selected your teacher, click on the Availability tab to see which time slots and days are open.
    Booking Options
    Click the "Book Online" button to get started. Enter in your contact information, and the prompts will guide you through payments, program options, and confirming your schedule. Learn more about our booking policies.
    Payment and Billing
    We make paying for your lessons convenient and hassle-free! Prices vary based on several factors, including the city you live in, the length of your lessons, and whether you're taking them at home, in your teacher's studio, or online. Lessons are paid for in advance, which locks in your time slot.
    Signing Your Customer Agreement
    Signing your Customer Agreement and completing your Student Questionnaire is the last step! The questionnaire will give your instructor valuable information about your goals and experience level, and give him or her time to create a customized lesson plan right from the start.

    Start Your Lessons

    Now the excitement can really begin! Consider the following to ensure an exceptional first lesson...
    Prepare for Your First Lesson
    Once you've completed the last step, your teacher will call you within the next couple of days to confirm your first lesson time and provide you with directions to their studio, if needed. We also encourage you to discuss your goals and any other questions you may have.
    What To Expect
    Every teacher is different, but most first lessons begin with an assessment of where you are in your studies. At a beginner level, you might review the basics of your instrument, such as the different parts, how to hold it correctly, and proper care and maintenance. For voice, this may be the time you learn about breathing and posture.
    Reach the Goals You Set
    Every TakeLessons student is unique, and so is your lesson plan! You'll work with your instructor to develop a plan suited to meet your specific goals. Most TakeLessons instructors will also keep track of your progress with a lesson journal.

    In order to reserve your time slot, we require payment at the time of booking, which must be at least seven days before your first lesson takes place.
    How does billing work?

    We don't offer a free trial lesson; however, we're so confident that you'll love your lessons that we offer new customers a 100% Money Back Guarantee. If you take your first lesson and decide that you don't want to continue, we'll refund the amount you paid INCLUDING the lesson you've already taken. To request the Money Back Guarantee, simply notify us within 72 hours of your first lesson.
    Do you offer any discounts?
