Music Lessons in Raymondville, TX. It's your time.

I've been teaching the Viola for 11 years and my students have gone on to competitions and won. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to make a beariful musical lines and as time goes on you'll be able to play with more solid techniques. I specialize in Classical Music, typically use Suzuki books, and tons of other musical pieces that are out there. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

My teaching is all about tapping into the personality, creativity, and emotional expressiveness of each individual student, combined with a dedication to the art of problem solving.

From young players to senior citizens, and from the many who have achieved All-County and All-State honors to those whose goal is simply to fill their hearts with music, I’m so grateful to all of my students for the joy they’ve brought me through working with them.

Hello. My lessons are for beginning and intermediate students looking to improve their skills for school band or personal enjoyment. Students will need to have acoustic drums to allow for practice between sessions. We will work on your skill-set relative to your level of experience. Each lesson will build on the next. My goal is to help my students grow with their comfort and confidence. If you are comfortable and confident then you will have fun. It all works together.

I enjoy teaching and helping students grow musically. I feel music is not only meant to be reproduce, but also understood, which is what I share every lesson. I have a teaching method that works great, but I am aso open to what the student wants if to much structure is not what they are looking for, but you can expect to learn how to play, theory and most important, how to use your ears the best way possible.
