Gabriel D

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Drums Conga Latin Percussion Music Electric Guitar Djembe Acoustic Guitar

I am motivated to keep students constantly engaged and passionate about their instrument! As a multi-instrumentalist I always play different instruments with students to give them a sense of playing in a group, which is what music should be all about! I also do my best to acknowledge the students strengths and weaknesses and take some time aside in class to speak to them about them. I believe it is important to have positive feedback but also to recognizes areas in which students can improve. Read More

Maria W

Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Keyboard

While studying music in college, I always enjoyed helping my classmates with their particular questions regarding accessing their voice, improving their range, playing piano, or how to start learning to play the flute. While still in school, I shadowed and assisted my piano professor with teaching piano and rock band at a public school. I began teaching privately about three years ago. I believe that flexibility and creativity is key when working with students. Read More

Gloria G

Instruments: Piano Violin

I start with the basics and for young students do nursery rhymes and songs they know,this makes it more enjoyable for them. I also ask them what music they would be interested in learning and see if I can find an easy version of this. Lately,the Encanto movie has been popular and Ive been teaching younger students these songs. Many of my teen students like to learn Beethoven and other classical composers. Read More

Dylan R

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Mallet Percussion

For older students, I integrate a more disciplined routine and, as earlier mentioned, allow their goals and intrests to inform the lesson plan, writing out excercises personally.  Generally the first third of the lesson is spent on fundamentals and warm up, the middle on the material we are working on, and something fun and/or new at the end (kind of like the scrimmage at the end of soccer practice).

Jannel R

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Flute Drums Bass Guitar Organ Accordion Ukulele Music Keyboard

I believe that everyone of all ages can benefit from music lessons. Learning an instrument relieves stress and promotes optimal health. I believe that we are all creative being and music is a creative outlet. Researchers have found the acedemic potential of the student is increased by taking lessons for several years. I love helping others finding their own personal voice and helping them to get on their feet as an artist. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Carlos Z

Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
It was entirely by accident. I loved music as a kid, and I was trying to learn how to play the guitar. I was 21, and I was strumming a guitar in the garage of my friends house, his dad had told me I was strumming really hard on the guitar. He told me, I should try the bass. Ever since then, I have been obsessed with the instrument. Eventually I moved on to upright bass when I had the money and skills to play the instrument.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Well it's number of musical accomplishments I am really proud of. The first being in the pit band for Cypress College's rendition of "Grease". The theater department had wanted to perform "Grease" in 2018, and I had been performing with their jazz ensemble. The leader of our ensemble gave the job to play bass for the pit band, and it was an amazing experience. I got to work with phenomenal musicians, see the incredible actors, dance and act, and hear the roar of the crowd during the really exciting pieces. Another accomplishment, I am proud of is receiving a scholarship from Friends of Jazz, during my days of community college. I had doing well in the jazz ensemble I was in, transcribing the music we had been given, and the band director took notice. I didn't know at the time but he had signed me up for the scholarship, and I was incredibly grateful. It was for 400 dollars, and made me feel I could really make some money and receive acclaim for my musical skills. Even though it's not really considered a musical accomplishment, but transferring to a university in music performance for me feels like an accomplishment. I am really proud of the work I have done, and I have never imagined I would be able to transfer to a university for music, on top of that, I am also receiving some scholarship money for my music studies.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first upright bass teacher was Roger Shew. When I was at my community college, I wanted to take lessons so I emailed Mr. Shew so I could begin taking my lessons. Seeing him play with ease all of the things he taught and told me to work on was incredibly inspiring. He doubled on both jazz and classical studies. He had the best walking bass line feel I have ever listened to, and could effortlessly play with a bow, classical or jazz music. Mr. Shew made me want to be a better musician, and I did my best every day to improve. Unfortunately, he passed two years ago and I was deeply heartbroken. I miss him everyday and I wish to pass down the important information he gave me onto my future students. I am currently taking lessons with the incredible Luther Hughes, who has had a phenomenal career as a jazz bassist and I hope I can teach the information that he has given me and pass it down to future students.

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.
