Jude Terry

Guitar, Bass

5+ years teaching

Hey, I'm Jude! I've been a guitarist for over a decade, and a bassist for just a bit less time than that. I was previously the lead guitarist for the Collin College Rock Ensemble, and also occasionally took the role of bassist or producer. I have spent many years teaching friends and family members how to play music on various instruments, of course including Guitar and Bass. In terms of genre, while I can certainly like a little bit of anything, a few of my favorites, both to play and to listen to, are Post-Punk, Midwest Emo, Post-Hardcore, and Shoegaze. However, I'm ready and willing to teach whatever parts, from whatever songs, in whatever styles you like!

Leslie Bass

Piano, Voice

8+ years teaching

Hi, I'm Leslie Bass. I am a passionate Dallas-based music instructor who loves helping young students discover the joy of music and adult beginners find their unique musical voice. Music has been the center of my life for as long as I can remember, and my goal is to make every private lesson a fun, supportive, and truly inspiring experience. My teaching is grounded in deep performance training. I hold an Associate of Applied Arts Degree in Musical Theatre, When I'm not teaching, I am the lead singer and songwriter for a local Dallas rock band, which gives me real-world, modern stage experience that I love sharing with my students. I will help you find your footing on the piano keys with proper technique. My students will also be able to learn to sing songs correctly highlighting ones own unique voice. Whether your child is taking their very first musical steps or you are an adult ready to check a lifelong goal off your bucket list, I can't wait to help you build confidence and fall in love with making music!
