Location Options: In Studio, In Home Instruments Taught: Bass Guitar Lessons

Years of Experience: Around 30 years experienc Location Options: In Home Genres: Rock, Blues, Country Age Groups: Young Adult, Adult Instruments Taught: Keyboard and Piano Lessons,Vocal Lessons Overview: I was born in Dallas and grew up in different cities in Texas and Arizona. I’ve been singing and playing keyboards and harmonica in rock roll and blues bands since age 17. I spent a few years touring on the road where I worked with some amazing and talented people before I went to college where I studied art and music. I moved back to Dallas after graduation and have played in various rock and blues bands for many years. During the last decade, I have given lessons to people who wanted to advance their skills at keyboard and harmonica and singing without lots of drills and exercises. I don’t teach with sheet music. I try to give people the tools to learn songs by understanding their instrument and training their ear to understand what they’re hearing and how it translates to their instrument. I like to take on students who want to learn this technique. It’s a fun and hands on way to get right into the music if you’re a beginner, an aspiring performer or just want to improve on your instrument or improve your singing. I use only electronic keyboards and do not own a standard piano or organ. Over the years I’ve found it important to be as mobile as possible. Formal Education: Art, B.A. (Texas Tech 1980) Music, B.A. (Texas Tech 1980 Private Education: I have worked with some amazing and talented people over the last 30 years or so both performing and in the recording studio. I have learned more from them than I could any private tutor. Performing Experience: Irsquo;ve performed in Rock and Blues bands full and part time for over 30 years including a few years touring the U.S. Experience Teaching: I've been teaching for about ten years. It started when people seeing me perform would ask me to give them a few pointers. They liked my teaching style and it just grew from there from mainly word of mouth. -Reviews- Name: Date: 2016-02-13 15:35:25 Title: Review from Graham D.

Over the years, she developed her skills further by practicing and performing! She gained performance experience in the New York area by playing at such venues as Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center and with acts such as Lauren Daigle and the Budapest Festival Orchestra. Though Valory can teach many genres of music, her musical personal favorites are classical and pop which had great influence on her style of playing. Valory loves music because it is an amazing way to express herself and emotions and loves teaching music because she wants to inspire others to express themselves too. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned professional, Valory can help you expand and enhance your playing. Valory is excited to learn how she can help you reach your musical goals.

Years of Experience: 0-1 Location Options: In Home Travel Radius: 22 Genres: Rock, Country, Acoustic, Christian Age Groups: Children, Young Adult, Adult, Under 6 Years Instruments Taught: Guitar Lessons Overview: I love playing guitar and music. I grew a passion for it in high school around age 15 and have been playing since then. I took lessons for about a year at Zoo music and then learned on my own over the years. I grew up with classic rock music and alternative. I don't have much experience with teaching. I have only done a few lessons over the years, so this is quite a new experience for me as well. I have played in classical guitar ensembles at my universities I attended where I learned more. I hope to teach and help others learn even if it's just the basics.

I have been passionate about music ever since I can remember and very much so love all things music related! Weather it be creating, learning, teaching, or enjoying, music has and will always be at the forefront of what I do and am proud of. As of now, my primary focus is creating, engineering recording music that will challenge listeners and expand their range of musical taste by giving listeners something they've never heard before. As a teacher, I aim to find what makes the student interested about learning a specific instrument or skill in order to inspire challenges and practices that push a student to and beyond their limits. My absolute favorite thing about teaching is seeing student talents blossom, grow expand into their own musical universe that they can be proud of and show off! My approach to teaching can be interpreted as one that gives students the opportunity to understand how music is a never ending journey of both learning and teaching, at all skill levels, and one that inspires and motives any given student to teach themselves and learn outside the classroom. Thank you for your time and consideration, hope to meet you soon! Formal Education: Audio Engineer at Media Tech Institute. Performing Experience: Going on 8 years of producing, recording and mixing music! Experience Teaching: Electric/Acoustic/Bass Guitar, Drums, Piano/MIDI, DAW proficiency, etc. -Education- Degree: Audio Engineering School: MediaTech Institute Dates: 2015-08 -Awards- Name:n/a Institution:n/a

He spent a semester with me interning in my recording studio at first. And then I hired him on for recording sessions because he showed clear initiative and skill. In fact he brought his own clients into the studio as well. Noah has a solid musical understanding and is capable and motivated. I predict that you will be very glad that you hired him. Cheers!

Years of Experience: 30 Location Options: In Studio Travel Radius: 50 Genres: Rock, Blues, Jazz, Classical, Country, Acoustic Age Groups: Children, Young Adult, Adult Instruments Taught: Drum Lessons Overview: The best cure for a sluggish mind is to disturb its routine. [William D.] Hello. I'm a professional musician, composer, and teacher of drumset/snare drum. Been doing both for 2+ decades. I've recorded, performed, and toured here in the USA and in Europe. Started my schooling in France (w/Alan Silva)and finished up at UNT (Music Performance) in Denton (w/Henry Okstel, Rick Latham, etc). I've played Jazz and Bebop, Top 40, techno/electronika/rave, rock, heavy metal, blues, Greek Middle Eastern, some symphonic, pop, various avant-garde styles, "nuevo" flamenco, funk, hip-hop, latin, folky singer-songwriter, reggae/dub, drum 'n' bass, totally improvized music, CW, and even lizard lounge styles. Currently accepting students from beginner to advanced. Age range of my students= 6 yrs old to early 50's... Beginning students are those that don't know anything about playing drumset except for the fact that it seems like it would be a fun thing to do. Maybe they have a drumset, maybe they don't. (If you don't have a drumset I can help you find one without breaking the bank...). Maybe they want to further hone the skills that they're learning in school music programs, ie. reading skills,snare drum skills, the rudiments... Intermediate drummers to Advanced drummers are those drummers that have been playing for a while and have realized that there may be more to playing the drumset than they're currently capable of or even aware of. This includes conceptions of drumming and music, 4-limb inter-dependence, and music styles that may seem "mysterious"...like Bebop (Jazz). Maybe they want to learn how to read and write. These drummers may have a pretty decent handle on things, maybe play in a band, or have played in several bands but feel like their lack of technique (like stick control,limb control, phrasing, syncopation) is holding them back. They may feel they've "reached a wall" in their technical abilities and/or their musical abilities and expression: same old licks, same old beats, same old fills, etc. Self-taught drummers may feel the desire to develop more of the "formal" training into their playing (the rudiments, reading, ear-training, snare drum chops, Jazz syncopations/chops, odd meter playing, "flow", etc). Maybe they just want the input of a teacher who ca

I enrolled my 8 year old grandson for guitar lessons, leery of the retention of the instructions that are given. However, the instructor has displayed patience, thoroughness and the ability to teach on this level of pupil. I am very pleased with the progress that my grandson has displayed and look forward to continuing his education with this Instructor.
