I'm 18 years old and I have been a musician for 10 years. I started playing guitar in a program called Natural Ear Music without the use of tablature or written sheet music, learning songs by ear and playing them in bands with kids my own age. Needless to say, I believe the key to growing as a musician is training and developing relative pitch. With guidance and motivation, I know that anybody can learn to play the songs that they want to play. With the skills I learned at Natural Ear Music, I picked up other instruments such as Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboards, Harmonica, and Vocals. In High School I took two years of Music Theory and three years of Choral Music which extended my musical knowledge and taught me how to dissect compositions into basic parts. With everything I have learned in the last 10 years, I am confident in my skills to help kids learn and master their instrument of choice. Formal Education: I took two years of Music Theory and three years of Choral Music, Barbershop Quartet, and Show Choir in High School Private Education: I had minimal private lessons as a child, I was taught how to use my "natural ear" to play my guitar parts, as well as learning other kids' parts to match pitch. Performing Experience: I have been playing in and out of bands since I was 8 years old. Played at many Austin venues such as: Jovitas, Antone's, La Zona Rosa, Beerland, Stubb's, Red 7, The Mohawk, Alligator Grill, and many more. Experience Teaching: I gave my younger cousin guitar lessons for about a year or so. He had reached the point to where he was able to learn and play his own songs, and no longer needed my guidance. I have also brought friends over that know little to none about music, and have taught them drum or guitar parts well enough so that I was able to jam with them.
