Meet our Instructors

 

At The Master’s Touch School of Music and Performing Arts, LLC
Students will benefit from the extensive musical training and performance experience of our faculty who are all degree and/or professionally trained at some of the most well respected musical schools in the United States as well as abroad including, the University of North Texas, Baylor University, Texas Christian University, San Jose State University, Illinois Stare University, Furman University, University of Montana, University of Puerto Rico, Mussorgsky Music College (Russia), and the Stare Conservatory of St. Petersburg (Russia).

As accomplished performers our faculty excels in guiding students with learning proper performance etiquette, recital preparation techniques, technical exercises, memorization techniques, the art of practice, and self-discipline. Our instructors have performed all over the United States as well as other countries including France, Russia, Mexico, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, and the Czech Republic. They have performed in prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall, Van Cliburn Recital Hall, and Steinway Hall.
Our instructors maintain memberships in prestigious professional organizations including Music Teachers National Association, Texas Music Teachers Association, Music Educators National Conference, National Guild of Piano Teachers, and National Association of Teachers of Singing to name a few. These organizations are dedicated to maintaining the highest level of musical excellence and expertise. Some of these organizations also give students the opportunity to gain further performance experience in a more competitive environment. Through this kind of exposure students develop the persistence, perseverance, and mental focus necessary to be successful in an ever more competitive world.

Students and families who come from other international backgrounds will benefit from the variety of languages spoken by some of our faculty who are bilingual in the following languages: Spanish, French, Russian, Mandarin, and Cantonese.
