Kris V

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I'm a deeply passionate, wholly enveloped musician who lives for the love of music. I absolutely love teaching others, however my golden strength is my ability to read my students from a lifelongs-experienced side, while fully understanding their difficulties to the most finite degree, no matter how frustrating and daunting the art of music can be- and teaching in the direction THEY wish. Creating music fueled by passion and the desire to express the otherwise ineffable emotions is the most powerfully freeing experience I think anyone can have, and it's my joy to enable others to enjoy it Read More

Daniel L

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard

I taught music for 18 years in all kinds of institutions, both in Brazil as well as in the United States. From low income communities to music universities, I worked with all levels of students and I learned how to adapt my Pedagogy and method books to any situation. I work with students that have special needs (any and all kinds) and will also teach music professionals and artists that need a boost in confidence or some feedback in their projects. Read More

Rebecca W

Instruments: Piano

Helping students achieve their specific goals is very important to me! If they are passionate about a particular style of music, composer, or piece, I will help them reach that goal! I am willing to meet them wherever they are musically. I think it is important for the student to work on a variety of styles and pieces at any given time at their level, so they have a diverse musical palette. Read More

I teach from my home studio. I teach private lessons and give my students my full attention which has proved to be the key to my continually increasing student enrollment and high retention rate.

I am an instructor whose passion is teaching students of all ages the love of music on the piano. In 2020, I graduated from Christopher Newport University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Piano Performance under Dr. Benjamin Corbin.

Teacher In Spotlight

Jalesa O

Instruments: Clarinet

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of attending and performing in the Heritage festival.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in Music Performance. I chose this because my school did not offer music as a minor, and I have always been good at playing. As a music major I was required to take theory, musicology and composition. I am fairly good at music theory, and if any of my students need help in this area I am willing to help.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I graduated high school I stopped playing the clarinet for about a year. Towards the end of my freshman year I realized I missed playing and decided to pick up music again. By making that decision i became a professional musician.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to play is a Benny Goodman piece. Throughout my years I have played jazz and enoy it. He was the greatest jazz clarinetist and I would like to experience that one time.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I think I would be doing fashion. I always had a interest in fashion design but, never pursued it.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
chamber music.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
The only other instrument I play is piano. I stated playing it when I was in High school because it was a requirement to graduate.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes. I am the youngest of 3 and both my older siblings played instruments. One played the flute and the other one played clarinet. My father also used to have his own music show.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session usually begins with scales and small etudes. I then proceed to the piece I am working on, and drill the desired sections. This can take up to 2 hpurs but I never exceed that because I don't want to over practice.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing to master is the range because the clarinet is one of the few instruments that have almost 4 octaves. The alternate fingerings can also be hard to master.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Mr. Parisi. He was my music teacher in middle school but he pushed me to audition for Eastman. Because of him I attended Eastman School of music through the pathways program, and received private lessons. He also encourage me to do Nyssma festival.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I first decided to go into music I wanted to play drums. My parents disapproved because of the noise. I then tried to play the saxophone but, my school was out of saxophones. I then picked the clarinet and stayed with it ever since.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Its best to start learning a piece in sections

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they are more advanced or show deeper interest in their instrument.

When will I start to see results?
Within a few lessons but it also depends on the player and their leaning ability.

...email. Talent buyers are barraged with a constant stream of poorly written emails from bands trying to get booked. Taking the time to write a cohesive, grammar error-free pitch over email that clearly lays out who you are and what you want will already give you a considerable advantage over many other bands in your area— even before the talent buyer has a chance to listen to your music. No, taking the time to write emails isn’t as fun or meaningful as playing music, but it’s an important skill that will set you or your band apart.   Before you... Read More

Slowly you’ll build up the stamina for full-barre chord playing.   Arpeggio Playing For the Intro and Verse we’ll use arpeggios.

...an electrical impulse, sent through a cable, and made audible by an amplifier. When the guitar is not amplified, it is nearly inaudible. Because the electric guitar doesn’t require the large resonating shape of an acoustic guitar, they are generally much lighter and easier to transport. The simple design of an electric guitar, and the way that the strings are amplified, means that the strings have less tension and are closer to the fretboard. This distance from the frets is typically referred to as the action, and the low action is how electric guitarists are able to play such intricate, fast phrases and runs.   Acoustic ... Read More

...In spite of the seemingly limitless variety one can find in rock drumming, there are also virtually ubiquitous commonalities. In this post, I’m going to break down the principles of how the most basic drum beats in rock music are put together, and a bit of history behind them. To begin, it is important to clarify what is meant by the terms ‘beat’ and ‘drum beat’, and the variety of ways the terms are used.   Just what is meant by the term ‘drum beat’?   Even in contemporary common usage, the term ‘drum beat’ can have various shades of meaning, which we’ll get to shortly- ...
