Meet the Teacher

Hi! My name is Mariano Aguirre, and I am the teacher for The Little Music Studio. Nearly all of my professional life has been spent teaching music to kids, whether in a public school or private studio.

I taught in public schools from 2006-2021 including music, choir, and guitar in elementary and middle school. I previously taught private piano and guitar students in my home studio under the name “Aguirre Music Studio”. I eventually closed down my private studio operations and left public school teaching to spend more time with my oldest kids while they were in high school and support my wife’s career. Now, most of them are in college or have finished college (except our youngest) I am excited to get back to teaching!

I hold a Bachelor of Music Education from The University of Texas at Arlington and a valid Teacher Educator Certificate from the State Board for Educator Certification from Texas as a Classroom Teacher for Music, Grades EC-12 (Early Childhood-12). I also hold an American Orff-Schulwerk Association Certification through continuing education courses at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

Most of my hobbies deal with music in one way or another, but I also love fishing, though I’m not very good at it.
