Yes!  While in-person lessons are generally recommended, there are times where the ability to take your lesson from home has advantages. My goal is to continue your musical development with high-quality private lessons even when you can’t physically be on site.

Saxophone, Piano, Clarinet, and Flute.  I also give lessons in songwriting and music production.

My bachelor’s degree is in music education from the University of North Texas, where my concentration instrument was saxophone.   I have been a professional musician in the North Texas area for over 20 years, where I have worked as a performer, recording artist, producer, songwriter, and arranger as well as maintaining a studio of students.

I teach out of my home in McKinney, as well as Texas Amps and Axes in Prosper.

For most people lessons are scheduled for 30 minutes.  More advanced students can be scheduled for 45 or 60 minute lessons if desired.

While lessons can vary depending on the instrument and ability level of the student, most lessons will follow a general flow of working through warm-ups, fundamentals, and then performance pieces.  I make a point to ask before each session if there is anything the student specifically wants to work on (assignments from school, audition prep, or just songs they’d like to learn how to play).  I feel strongly that while classical and fundamental aspects of each instrument are important, it’s also vital that students work on music that is exciting and relevant to them personally.  Finally, my goal for every student is to make music education something they absolutely love, and that high levels of musicianship and achievement are complimented with high levels of fun in the process.
