Meet Our Faculty
AT THE FRISCO SCHOOL OF MUSIC
MUSIC AND VOICE LESSONS FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS
Our teachers are chosen for their extensive musical background in their
specific instrument discipline, and for their genuine dedication to teaching.
Our Faculty is the heart and soul of the Frisco School of Music. All of our
teachers are university trained and/or have real-world performance
experience. We have a very distinguished and diverse Faculty
representing many different cultures from around the world. Many of our
teachers have studied with renowned university professors and famous
performers, and bring their vast experiences to our students here in
Frisco.
We are very selective in who we hire at the Frisco School of Music.
Potential teachers go through a detailed interview process, a live musical
performance review, a criminal back-ground check, reference check,
school observation, and a meeting with our Administrative Team. Our
degreed Executive Director, with over 35 years of teaching experience,
personally makes all of the hiring decisions at the Frisco School of Music.
We invite you to look at the posted Faculty Biographies in our lobby. You
will be amazed at the vast musical experiences that are represented at our
School. You can't help but notice the years and years of music study,
lessons started from when they were very young, hours and hours of
practicing, as well and honors, awards, performances, famous groups and
performers they have played with, master classes they participated in
around the world, scholarships and competitions they have won, scads of
recitals and concerts performed at professional music halls, as members
of cruise ship bands, country club and restaurant gigs, churches of all
denomination, bluegrass festivals and big band jazz groups - just to
mention a few!
Our teachers care about their students and delight in seeing them develop
into intermediate and advancing independent musicians. They are vibrant,
brilliant, personable, and encouraging. They will impart to you all that you
are open to learn from them. We have a great location, and wonderful
facilities, but we believe that it is our Faculty that will draw you here for
years to come.
Our teachers have received their education from prestigious institutions
such as: University of North Texas, Southern Methodist University, Texas
Women’s University, Texas A&M (Commerce), University of Texas (Austin),
Stephen F. Austin University, Eastman School of Music, Washburn
University (Kansas), Brookhaven College, Northlake College, US Army

Europe and have years and years of professional performance and
teaching experience.
In addition to their teaching credentials, our teachers have warm
personalities, are extremely friendly and strive to get to know each student
and their parent on a personal level.
