Tolleson Music Lessons

About Me

I started studying piano and singing from a very young age. I used to make my friends come over and watch me perform (karaoke style--before karaoke was big) when i was in the 4th grade. My greatest love is music, performing music, and sharing it with others. As a singer i have studied all types of music, but my favorite- and what i excell at- is opera.

I have taken private voice and piano lessons constantly since the age of 5, and have studied opera performance and music theory in college. I perform locally around the community as a singer, direct the church choir, and occassionally accompany soloists on the piano. I have taught private lessons in voice and piano for 5 years and i greatly enjoy the one on one experience of teaching private lessons.

About Me

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.

About Me

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 Director (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 performer. I...
