About

Finding a lesson teacher is so important. I give a free 30 minute trial lesson so you can see if I am a good fit.

I love being able to share my knowledge and excitement for what I do. Be it talking about the ins and outs of the saxophone or clarinet or just talking about and listening to examples of great music.

    Ms. Foster had my 12-year-old piano newbie sounding like he had been taking lessons for years in just a few months. She was excellent at finding music that fit his skills and matched his interests.
    Thank you!

    World-class musician. Great demeanor with kids and motivates them to push themselves. Gil also proactively asks about, advises, and helps band students plan and prepare for auditions and performances.

    Gil is an excellent teacher and he’s incredibly patient — great traits when it comes to teaching the young and (like me) the old.

    Mr. Del Bosque has greatly helped our son to get better in his clarinet skills, and more recently saxophone; not only he teaches him, but challenges him to get better every day. He is always on top of the lessons, and is very accommodating with any requests we have had.
    I have no reservations in recommending him to friends or anyone looking to take the next step in their music life.

    Frequently asked questions

    All students are different. My approach is to tailor lessons to each student. So getting to know the student and finding out what their goals are is important to me. 

    Masters in Jazz Studies from UT Austin

    Bachelors of Music from the University of North Texas

    $45 for 30 minutes

    $50 for 45 minutes

    $60 for an hour

    I have always enjoyed practicing and playing music. Passing along this passion to others seemed like a logical path for me. 

    All types. Students starting from step one. Advanced jazz improvisers, classical students, students wanting to play blues and rock gigs. 

    Recording my first jazz album with great musicians and friends. 

    Try and find someone who knows the instrument and has spent time learning their craft. Take the role of the student and be humble and willing to learn. 

    Am I willing to devote a little time each day to practicing and listening?
