Have you ever wondered if you could play the piano like the person you have heard of admired? The answer if Yes! As a private piano teacher for the past 20 years, I have had the pleasure of seeing students as young as 4 and as old as 70 enjoy seeing their talent become alive as we unlock what has been inside.
I began piano lessons at the age of six and continued for the next 14 years with private piano study. This gave me many levels of education about playing the piano, which I share with my 40 students each week. At the age of 13, I also began to realize that I could listen to a song, look at the chord and notes on the music, and put them together to make the song sound like it should. This was fantastic! I realized I could play by ear and read music, which is a strong focus of my teaching methods...to make sure a student is proficient in both areas.
While attending Oral Roberts University, I also studied music there. I am currently pursuing a plan for a Masters of Music...

20 years of Professional Piano teaching experience with children of different ages and levels. Some of my students have participated in international piano playing competition. I have a Masters Degree in Music Education. I have been a Piano teacher for children at US military bases in Germany and Italy, and at a Music Schools in Russia.

I'm a young, enthusiastic piano teacher living in the Arlington area. My musical journey started when I was 10 years old when I received my first piano lesson. Since then, I have been studying piano with several amazing teachers, including some that have studied at the top music institutions in the nation, such as Eastman School of Music, University of North Texas, and the Peabody Institute. At current, I am finishing my Bachelor's in Keyboard Performance with an Emphasis in Piano Pedagogy at the University of Texas at Arlington and have also obtained a Associate of Arts degree from Tarrant County College.

Hello Everybody My name is Kevin and I go by “K.P.” in this wonderful music world. Here’s a little bit about myself….

I graduated from the University of North Texas with a (BAAS), and was over the University of North Texas Voices of Praise (V.O.P) Gospel Choir from 2004-2006.

Born in the cradle of jazz New Orleans, LA, the 28 year old pianist, trumpeter, and composer Terence is a musical force to be reckoned with. He has performed with some heavyweights of jazz and r&b over the years. A 2001 graduate of N.O.C.C.A (New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts) he was able to study with great educators like the late great Clyde Kerr Jr., Peter Martin, and Kent Jordan. He is alumni of the Louis Armstrong Summer Jazz Camp in New Orleans, LA where he studied and taught alongside saxophonist Edward "Kidd" Jordan, trumpeter Marlon Jordan, and composer Roger Dickerson. After earning his Bachelors of Music degree from Grambling State University Terence went on to perform and teach in the DFW area. Terence has worked with children through various summer camps, YMCA, music schools, and The Children’s Courtyard Kindermusik program. "I have always been a fan of variety and exposure and when it comes to children and music they will learn the quintessential basics...

I have a diverse, mixed-up, wonderful background. I have wanted to do something with music and performance since I was 3-years-old. I have been able to foster that goal through work in the professional film and television industry as well as professional theatre (and no, the word is not misspelled despite what spell-check would have you believe and I would love to explain why.). However, my greatest love has always been teaching. My education includes training in theatre, film, television, music, voice, and communication. I received my BA in Fine Arts and Humanities from the University of Nebraska at Kearney and my MS in Communication Studies at Texas Christian University. I am a member of the Music Teacher's National Association and constantly strive to improve both my abilities and myself. My greatest teachers, however, have always been my students!

I believe performing is an important part of music learning, so I schedule at least 2 recitals each year. Some of my adults prefer not to perform and that is okay too. My students had a Halloween and Christmas recital recently and played so wonderfully! The more you perform, the easier it gets!

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 Jennifer F. I just graduate with my masters in music from the University of Redlands. I received my bachelor's degree from the University of Louisiana at Monroe. Through my college career, I was able to perform in many musical productions. Some of these roles include: Yvonne in Miss Saigon (Louisiana Lyric Opera), Mother in Hansel and Gretel (University of Louisiana at Monroe), Erma in Anything Goes (University of Louisiana at Monroe), and Euridice in Orfeo ed Euridice (University of Redlands). There are many performance coming up this year, also!

During my time in Undergrad, I had the opportunities to study abroad for two summers. I was accepted into University of Miami's Salzburg program (2009), and the following summer did Westminster Choir College's Florence Voice Seminar (2010). Throughout both of these experiences, I was able to work with world renowned teachers and coaches. These programs helped me grow as a teacher and a performer.

I love learning, and I love sharing how to learn. I began as a self-taught pianist at age 12, and from ages 14 to the present I have had the experience of studying with some of the most phenomenal teachers of this generation. George Katz, former chair of the Drake University Piano Department and student of the legendary artists Alfred Cortot and Marguerite Long; Jerome Lowenthal, also a student of Cortot (and William Kapell) and former chair of the Julliard piano department, and Jose Feghali, winner of the 1985 Cliburn Gold Medal have been my most influential teachers. From them, I learned how to learn, how to teach, and how to teach learning, which I believe is the most important skill.

As a winner of the 2000 Interlochen Concerto Competition, I had my orchestral debut that year with the World Youth Symphony Orchestra at 16. Following that, I have given concerts all over the U.S., some parts of Mexico, Malmo and Stockholm, Sweden, and in Copenhagen, Denmark.

How I judge my success is by how well my students assimilate my pedagogy. I take complicated concepts and do my best to make them understandable. If you have performance fear, I want to en-courage you. If your technique will harm your product, I want to help you change your approach. If you get tangled up in the language of music, I smooth the confusion through a variety of different media. If you hunger for self-expression, I can put you in an environment which is limited only by the amount and the way that you practice.
I think really good teaching is a constant learning process. The best thing about my having taught for 15 years as a choir director and group/private piano teacher in the Texas public school system is this: if you, as my student, have a problem understanding something, odds are that I have found a way to explain it or a similar issue with one of the thousands of students I've taught over the years.

I have a Bachelor's in Music, Masters...
