Meet the Teacher - Taylor Samsill
Bachelor of Music (B.M.) in General, Choral, and Instrumental Music – University of North Texas
Taylor teachers piano, voice, and acoustic guitar. She currently holds a bachelor's degree in Music Education with a concentration in voice from the University of North Texas. Taylor has 7 years of experience in both the private and classroom setting, teaching a variety of ages and skill levels using a blend of classical and contemporary training. She exercises her musical skill by playing piano and singing on her local church’s worship team, songwriting, and simply playing some of her favorite styles of music such as hymns and contemporary piano music.
Taylor's teaching philosophy centers on developing independent musicians who can think critically, solve musical challenges, and create with confidence. She focuses on nurturing the whole student, emphasizing lifelong learning rather than simply mastery of an instrument. She believes music education is not only a path to musical growth but also a catalyst for cultivating essential life skills—discipline, creativity, collaboration, and resilience—that empower students both inside and outside the practice room.
