About Devon

Devon is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, film composer, audio engineer and prolific songwriter as solo artist for her own synth-electronic band. She’s been a multi-instrumental musician with her main focuses being in piano for 32 years, a saxophonist for 29 years and an audio engineer for around 15 years working in the professional music industry.
After graduating high school, she went on to major in Film Scoring & Orchestration at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts with her principal instrument studies in piano and secondary instrument in saxophone. She has a deep passion for films and loves the idea of how music shapes the cinematic experience. After her time at Berklee, she moved back to Texas and went on to find work as a freelance composer for indie films.
Along with being a film composer, during this time in the 2010’s, she taught junior high and high school concert and jazz band instructor for a private school. And also during this time, moved on to continue her studies as an audio engineer in San Antonio. This is where she continued to thrive in many professional music studios as a mixing engineer, a live sound engineer for many touring bands & local venues all over the South Central Texas area and also as a TV broadcast audio engineer.

About the lesson

Devon’s teaching journey began when she was 18 years old teaching beginner level piano. She has worked as a private music instructor for 19 years now offering piano, saxophone & clarinet lessons to students of all ages ranging from 3 to 60 years old. Devon never stopped having a passion for teaching music to others since then. And has always felt it was an important mission for her to spread that same appreciation, love and knowledge she has of music to others.

Devon developed her instructing methods to counteract her own experiences with music teachers in the past at a very young age that were all about the very “strict rules” of classical music. Even though this wasn’t something that deterred her from continuing her studies. She saw many others around her becoming discouraged by the lack of encouragement, creativity and passion around music. That’s why she tries to allow her own students to connect and have fun with music as much as possible, focusing on what their goals and music interests are. While still teaching them core, valuable skills that will stick with them throughout the years and help propel them forward in their own journey as a musician.

Perfect! i’ve been taking piano lessons with devon for a little while now, and she’s easily one of the best music teachers i’ve ever worked with. you can feel her experience the moment you sit down with her. she’s got this rare blend of deep musical knowledge, real industry experience and a super grounded, encouraging teaching style that makes learning fun instead of intimidating.

her background is wild in the best way… berklee trained, film scoring, orchestration, multi-instrumentalist, audio engineer, composer, live sound, broadcast… and the cool part is she knows how to translate all of that into lessons that actually help you improve. she’s great at breaking things down, spotting the exact little adjustments that make a big difference and helping you understand not just what to play, but why it works.

i’m already noticing huge improvements in my playing and confidence, and i always walk away from lessons feeling inspired to practice more. if you’re looking for a teacher who really knows her craft, loves what she does and knows how to bring the best out of you, devon is absolutely the person you want to learn from.

I offer a 30 minute free trial lesson to make sure you’re ready and confident about getting started with lessons. And also to make sure we vibe as well since that’s important when working with an instructor too. I typically offer in home lessons but also do have online/zoom style lessons for those interested. I travel throughout different parts of Austin including the South-West, north east sides of the Austin area.

If you have any other questions about my rates or anything else, I’m always more than happy to talk about them. Just shoot me a message. I look forward to meeting you!
