    Conor Bell (Teaches Applied Recording\/Live Sound, Bass Guitar & Percussion)<\/strong><\/p>\n

    I believe the best way to learn how to swim is by getting in the water! My teaching style is about
    \ngetting direct hands-on experience on whatever subject I am teaching. Expect to hit the ground
    \nrunning and learn valuable, practical skills that will help you get a gig. I’ve been playing music
    \nfor 20 years and working in the audio field for 10 and have a wealth of experience to offer. Feel
    \nfree to reach out with any questions you may have.<\/p>\n

    Scott Cain (Teaches Applied Guitar)<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Background in guitar and teaching Philosophy
    \nI began music studies in voice and saxophone at 9 years of age singing in a competitive
    \nboys choir on the east coast and junior high band. At the same time I began taking
    \nguitar lessons. During high school I began playing in a local band that performed Pop,
    \nRock and Country music.
    \nIn college I majored in Performance of guitar and graduated with a performance degree
    \nFrom The University of North Texas at Denton.
    \nDuring college I was selected by audition to perform for Andre Segovia in Madrid, Spain
    \nI was also awarded partial and full scholarships to study at the Aspen Music festival.
    \nI have been teaching music and guitar at ACC for over 35 years as well as playing
    \nprofessionally in the Austin area.
    \nI have been a winner of the KLBJ battle of the bands with the original Pop group
    \n\u201cCurtain Call\u201d and have one the Austin Chronicle 1st place for new Band and Lounge
    \ngroup with Casino Royal.

    \ntakes responsibility for their own learning experience.<\/p>\n

    Christina Carmona (Teaches Voice Applied)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    My professional work has been as a contemporary commercial singer and performer playing in
    \nbands; however, my roots are in classical music. From a very young age I began singing,
    \nperforming, and competing with solo repertoire, choral music, and orchestral music as a
    \nviolinist. I grew up under the training and guidance of my mother, a renowned Lyric Soprano and<\/p>\n

    Voice Teacher in Austin, Texas. My father, a choral director and pianist, instilled in me musical
    \nfoundations such as music theory and having passion for music.
    \nAs a commercial performer, I have been fortunate enough to tour with my band internationally,
    \nrecord in professional studios across the country, receive support from independent record
    \nlabels, sell merchandise all over the world, and receive features in numerous esteemed
    \npublications.
    \nTeaching Philosophy
    \nI have been teaching at Austin Community College since 2020, and have taught Applied Voice,
    \nMusic Theory for the Working Musician, and Small Commercial Music Ensemble (Rock Band).
    \nAs an Applied Voice instructor, my pedagogical approach blends traditional and contemporary
    \nvocal technique to give students well-rounded instruction and guidance. I incorporate voice
    \nscience, Contemporary Commercial Music (CCM) training, and elements of classical singing
    \ntechniques. My goal is for students is to develop their artistry and achieve vocal versatility,
    \nenabling them to sing with precision and confidence, no matter the genre or style they choose.
    \nI work with students on material that is relevant to their goals, whether that is their own original
    \nmaterial, audition pieces, recital repertoire, etc. I\u2019ve successfully helped a wide range of
    \nstudents to develop their voices in order to transfer to colleges, begin playing live shows,
    \nprepare for studio sessions, refine their craft, heal from vocal injuries, and overcome
    \nperformance anxiety.
    \nI love teaching voice, and I truly enjoy teaching everyone of all skill levels.<\/p>\n

    Brian Donohoe (Teaches Piano & Composition Applied Lessons)<\/strong><\/p>\n

    My teaching philosophy is centered around two core concepts. The first is to meet
    \nstudents where they are: regardless of background, any student can develop an
    \nappreciation and foundational understanding of music. Slow and steady development
    \nof technique and aural comprehension of melody, harmony, and rhythm will, over time,
    \nallow students to explore performance, improvisation, and composition, regardless of
    \nwhere they started, as long as they\u2019re willing to put in consistent time and energy.
    \nThe second core concept is to structure the curriculum around specific goals of each
    \nstudent. Contemporary music is extremely broad, and students develop most
    \neffectively when they\u2019re working towards specific goals that matter to them. While I
    \nteach all students a certain set of universally-applicable foundations, the repertoire we
    \nfocus on will be largely determined by what music they love, where they\u2019d like to go
    \nprofessionally, and who they want to become as creative artists.<\/p>\n

    Nick Landis (Teaches Recording Applied Lessons)<\/strong><\/p>\n

    As a Mastering Engineer, I bring extensive experience and expertise to the table. I am currently
    \nthe Chief Mastering Engineer at Nick Landis Mastering and have previously held the role of
    \nSenior Mastering Engineer at Terra Nova Digital Audio, Inc. Throughout my career, I have had
    \nthe privilege of working on over 5,200 albums, playing a crucial role in helping musicians
    \ncomplete the final creative step and first technical step in producing and distributing their music
    \nto fans. I am honored to have the trust of each and every client and take great pride in guiding
    \nthem through the mastering process.
    \nTeaching Philosophy
    \nMy teaching philosophy in applied audio engineering centers around empowering students to
    \ndevelop a deep understanding of both the technical fundamentals and the creative artistry of
    \nsound. I believe that education should serve as a bridge between knowledge and practice,
    \nenabling students to succeed as audio engineers while embracing the ethereal artistic concepts
    \nthat make their work unique.<\/p>\n

    Inspired by the mentors who guided me, I am committed to giving back to the next generation of
    \naudio engineers. My primary purpose in education is to equip students with the skills and
    \nknowledge necessary to excel in the field. I do this by providing a supportive environment for
    \nlearning, offering valuable feedback, and addressing misunderstandings and knowledge gaps
    \nas they arise.
    \nIn my teaching, I emphasize the importance of technical expertise while recognizing that the
    \nrules of audio engineering are meant to be understood before they can be intelligently bent or
    \nbroken. Students are encouraged to explore and experiment, making conscious decisions in
    \nservice of the music.
    \nDiversity and inclusivity are essential to me, and I strive to create an environment that welcomes
    \nall students, with a particular emphasis on supporting female and minority students who may
    \nhave faced additional challenges in this field. Collaboration and community-building are fostered
    \nthrough class critiques and opportunities for peer interaction.
    \nAssessment is centered around progress rather than a strict measure of quality. I hope to see
    \ngrowth from the beginning to the end of the semester, in alignment with each student’s individual
    \ngoals. My ultimate goal is to empower students to leave my class as more confident and
    \ncompetent audio engineers, equipped with the knowledge and skills to succeed in this dynamic
    \nfield.<\/p>\n

    Darin Layne (Teaches Applied Guitar)<\/strong><\/p>\n

    As a teacher and professor of music I am committed to the success of each individual
    \nStudent. This includes taking time to address individual needs to better understand
    \nthe materials presented. Individual student outcome is key to overall success of any
    \nCourse. Everyone learns differently. For me, the highest priority is to be aware of each
    \nstudent\u2019s individual understanding of the concepts being presented in relation to their
    \ncurrent level of musical experience, understanding and application. To accomplish this, I like to
    \nask detailed questions about the students’ understanding of the course material being studied
    \nas it relates both to music theory and application to the instrument.
    \nI believe in giving the student the core tools to eventually teach themselves beyond
    \nthe scope of the materials being presented in my classroom, so they have the
    \nconfidence to use the skills presented in the course to grow, and expand their
    \nknowledge for a life long productive career.
    \nIn my courses, I often encourage improvisational discovery, as well as assign specific
    \ngoal-oriented tasks. This approach ranges from fundamental to advanced concepts<\/p>\n

    depending on individual skill level.
    \nMy current active performing and recording schedule combined with 35 years
    \nexperience in the professional music world as a composer, bandleader professor,
    \nperformer, producer, audio engineer and session guitarist makes me an effective teacher
    \nas I can relate real world experiences to the materials being taught.
    \nI am inspired by each of my student\u2019s progress regardless of pace or level. Overall student
    \nidentity in the classroom has no affect on how I teach, unless specific special needs are made
    \napparent. In these cases I take the extra time needed with students to make sure they can
    \naccomplish the goals outlined in the course.<\/p>\n
