Patrick M

Instruments: Piano

My teaching style is very calm explanations of complex subjects so you can get to making the music you want to. Since I'm not hiding behind some teaching method, you will very rapidly discover that this isn't rocket science, it's a series of conventions and technique. I wouldn't stand there making you run scales, I'd respect the direct you want to go with your music, and tackle the "prerequisite" issues. Read More

Peter S

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

My primary goal is to individually assess and direct students toward their most meaningful goals, whether that is professional level performance and composition, prepping for auditions, or just enjoying beginning on the instrument. I often have students work through my Commercial Piano Workbooks, or use jazz worksheets that I have created. My workbooks come with access to free video tutorials and dozens of play-along tracks, which makes for fun, challenging, and highly effective learning. Read More

Shelby Joy A

Instruments: Piano Voice Viola

I am an experienced and patient teacher, passionate about the versatile beauty of music and all of the ways it benefits music learners. I have been a music maker for just over 20 years, with piano as my first instrument. I began playing the viola in middle school and quickly progressed into advanced orchestras both at school and throughout the city. Though I initially intended to major in music education, once at the University of Minnesota I found myself incredibly drawn to opera. Read More

Michael B

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Double Bass

I started teaching in 2008 while still studying at the University of North Florida. Most of my expierence is with children between the ages of 5-13, though I have taught much older as well. The real joy I get from teaching is when the student begins to love what they are doing. Any instrument can be difficult at first but once a love of music is combined with the student's instrument, the greatest strides will be made. Read More

Ryan S

Instruments: Piano Voice

For my students, I will always meet them where they are in their musical journey. For students in general, I find they respond better when faced with a challenge that they are more familiar with. I believe the same rules of musicianship in classical based performing can be learned from a more contemporary aspect. After the student is comfortable, I will slowly expand their horizons both in the music they listen to and the music they perform. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Synthesizer Piccolo Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Oboe Bassoon English Horn Keyboard

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was definitely a gradual decision for me to "go pro," as it were. I always loved music, but two things were holding me back. First, I didn't think I was good enough. There are lots of great musicians out there, with not enough gigs to go around for everyone. Second, by the time I was midway through high school I'd already met many jaded, dark, disgruntled professional musicians, and I didn't want that to happen to me. There are certainly many headaches in this business, and I was afraid they'd carry over to the music itself to where I'd simply start hating music. College helped with that. A jazz quartet I played in at Hope played lots of professional gigs, and later at the Univeristy of South Florida I had so many gigs I actually left college with more money than I started with! This proved to me that I was, in fact, good enough. And I was loving it! Twenty-five years after college, I'm still lovin' it. I'm still baffled why jaded, dark, disgruntled musicians don't simply quit and do something else - life is too short. Music is certainly a difficult way to make a living, but it's been extremely rewarding for me.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started on pipe organ, believe it or not! We had a toy version in the house, and my babysitter actually played organ (what are the odds?), so she got me started. Piano was a natural addition a few years later. In 4th grade when the instrument "petting zoo" came to my school, I almost chose oboe because no one else was playing it - which isn't such a bad reason to pick a particular instrument, actually. But the Chicago Bears had jut won the Super Bowl that year, and they made a video called the "Super Bowl Shuffle," donating the proceeds to charity. One of the players played a sax solo (I'm sure he was lip-syncing over the studio musician), and my mom just about swooned when she said "oh, saxophone is a magical instrument for me!" That was it - sax for me! The other woodwinds follow naturally if you're a sax player. Most college or pro-level big band charts include some doubling on flute and clarinet, so sax players need a minimum level of competency to play those tunes. Oboe and bassoon are less common, but one of my most favorite things to do is play in Broadway-style pit orchestras, where those instruments are definitely included from time to time along with the others. It's not uncommon to see a "Reed 3" book which has tenor sax, clarinet, oboe and english horn (basically a larger oboe) all built into the same part! I got serious about percussion in high school because I had a goal to play in a DCI top-12 drum corps, which I achieved in college! I tried a brass instrument first, but I never got very good. But percussion is actually a fairly natural addition for piano players, especially mallet instruments like xylophone and vibraphone which are set up like a piano. I got to be a good singer in college, taking lessons and touring Europe with Hope College's Chapel Choir, their flagship group. I've since sung lead and backup in rock and country bands, as well as directing church choirs. Every musician should learn how to sing, at least a little bit. Accordion is actually not too dissimilar from piano. The right hand is in fact a piano keyboard, while the left hand plays bass lines and chords, not unlike the toy organ I started on when I was little. When I started playing in Air Force rock bands, I needed something portable that didn't rely on electricity for our more intimate, "unplugged" gigs. Accordion is a beautiful, artistic instrument which is unfairly the butt of too many musical jokes. And it works on way more rock/pop tunes than you might think!

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Both of my brothers played through college, and one of them does it for a living like I do. Both of them were also in top-12 DCI Drum Corps like I was: one on percussion, one on brass (euphonium). My parents, while very supportive and encouraging with lessons, instruments, and band trips, are not musical themselves. It just wasn't something their parents did with them, I suppose. That said, I have five kids, all of whom play instruments in every family. Between the seven of us, I believe we play seventeen different instruments! It's a noisy, chaotic household, and I love it. I'm always playing duets, trios, quartets, etc. with members of my family.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
