Darin J

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Synthesizer Recorder

The emphasis for these lessons is on pouring your soul into some practical excercises that are applicable to the stage, whether it’s a jazz ensemble, concert band, funk band, wedding group, solo project. What the student puts in, they will receive in return. The exercises will focus largely on tone production (your personality or voice on the horn) and transcription of ideas (to develop real musical vocabulary). With these tools, the sax becomes a vehicle for self expression and an outlet for the audience, things so vital in these current times of turmoil and self doubt. Read More

Andrea W

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have 8 years of experience teaching music lessons, to children as young as three through senior adults. I have instructed voice and general music at the middle school, high school, and college level. I serve as piano and voice instructor for the Loveland Academy of Music, and teach both instruments at my home studio and in my students' homes. I am confident in introducing music lessons to beginners, as well helping hone an advanced student's skills. Read More

Eli B

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

The main goal of the lessons is to help the student discover that all laws of music pertain to life; every area of music you explore in the practice room can be applied to situations in the real world, and a deeper love of music will lead you to a deeper love of life. We first must decide what area the student is most apt to explore and make a lesson plan accordingly. Read More

Yi-Chien L

Instruments: Piano Cello

For beginning learners, I attach great importance to the sitting position and ear training, so paying attention to intonation and awareness of sitting position when playing the cello is my primary consideration. For intermediate students who study for more than one year, I will pay more attention to left-handed skills and students' mastery of the bowing. For advanced players, I will focus more on musical interpretation and comprehensive techniques. All the left and right-hand skills will be put into the interpretation of music, this is the last step for students who playing cello. Read More

Jordan T

Instruments: Piano Trombone Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Euphonium Tuba Piccolo Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard

The first thing I do when teaching a student is to learn what musical goals and aspirations the student may have. Then, depending on age and experience, I build a custom program for the student, which may include using various books, resources, and even materials which I have created. I have found that this is not only the most effective way for me to teach but also the most effective way to connect with students where they are and for them to learn at their own pace while also enjoying the process.

Julia B

Instruments: Piano

As your piano teacher, I aim to provide a warm, supportive, and engaging learning environment with honest yet positive feedback to help students become confident and self-motivated. Listening, evaluating, and learning how to use those observations to improve the way we play are all skills that I encourage my students to use to become independent learners. Every student has a unique set of abilities and way of learning, which is something to be embraced. Read More

Jenna M

Instruments: Piano Voice

I am a positive, energetic instructor and performer who loves working with students of all ages and backgrounds. I completed my bachelor's in music performance at the University of Wyoming in 2014, and have just completed my first semester as a Master's student in Jazz Studies at the University of Northern Colorado. In my time as a performer I have enjoyed performing many roles such as Yum-Yum in Gilbert and Sullivan's Mikado, Fiona in Brigadoon, and Marty in Grease. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Organ Synthesizer Ukulele Recorder Euphonium Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My Masters Degree is in Music Education with a Piano emphasis. I was playing trombone in the large ensemble, but taking private studio lessons on piano. I chose music education as I was already 17 years into a thriving teaching career. Earning a masters degree in education would help provide me with more strategies to be effective in my teaching relationship with students. As long as you are majoring in a music study, performance is a big part of your program. I still perform quite frequently, with and without students. Sharing this passion through education allows the passion to spread and flourish.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
That is a relative question, based on the level a student is playing. Beginners often struggle to get two hands to play independently of each other. It can also be a challenge to move into a triple time signature. More advanced students sometimes find it a challenge to bring musical expression into a technical piece with phrasing, dynamics and tempo. Playing at a consistent tempo and not rushing can be a challenge, especially in performance situations. The piano is a very expressive instrument, great for solo and accompanying. Putting it all together is exciting!

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes, I do use specific curriculums in the interest of making sure all the bases get covered. I have used most of the major ones through the years, but have primarily narrowed it down to a couple now, at least for the beginners and intermediates. Depending on progress and efficiency of learning, I will make a choice of which method I think may be beneficial to a particular student. More advanced students begin to choose a direction their musicianship is leading them, so curricular choices become more varied.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Students are given 3-4 books to work out of - Technique, Theory, Piano Literature (where everything is ties together into actual songs) and Performance. Practice sessions should begin with some technical studies for warm-up of fingers and mind. These are very gradual in their approach to technique - fun little exercises suited appropriately for the level where a student is currently. Upon completing the technique practice, move into the piano 9lesson) book. I would suggest playing the song through as far as you can comfortably go, making note of anything that needs work. Then, go back and work your way through the problem spots slowly. Pick out just the tiniest part of that spot until you can play it well. Then add some context to it until it can be played well, three times in a row preferably. This little fixit session should be applied each day until the song can be played all the way through with no mistakes.

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.
