Carlos M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Saxophone Bass Guitar Organ Acoustic Guitar

To be honest, I never had a formal teaching experience as a music teacher since it is more like a hobby to me. I pursued a different career but music has always been part of my life and my burning passion for it never ceased. When I was a kid, I performed couple of piano recitals, and after several years, I eventually made my mom proud by playing the piano/organ in our church. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Accordion Ukulele Conga Latin Percussion Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I Try to get away from mechanism without joy. Everything has to be close to the music. Exercises to be actually doing them with a rhythm and time. Other than doing things musically, practicing in different times and intentions help a lot for the student to be open to play songs in different ways. Technique and theory are necessary tools. To apply concepts musically they need to do it with musical taste. Read More

Tamboura B

Instruments: Violin

My methods as a teacher begin primarily with emphasis on fundamentals, i.e Bow hand position, violin position. I emphasize the need to practice on a consistent basis. As in any walk of life, there will be little to no improvement unless you do so. I also believe in treating each student differently, however, as there are some who simply want to have fun and learn something new. I like to set goals and time markers so as to make sure students are progressing in a healthy manner. Read More

Travis H

Instruments: Violin

Firstly, I think building a good rapport with my students is important in establishing a comfort level that is conducive to learning. I've found that students(especially children) are more engaged, ask more questions, and have more fun in the lesson if the teacher makes an effort to connect with his or her student. Developing good fundamentals is a big part of how I teach, students end up progressing faster with a solid grasp of the fundamentals. Read More

Alexander W

Instruments: Piano Violin Trombone Saxophone Clarinet

All of my students, depending on age, go through my curriculum which not only focuses on solo repertoire but learning how to be an essential part of any ensemble. I make sure I plan individual lessons and create overall schemes of work for my pupils so they can develop knowledge of materials and repertoire for them at different stages of their musical development. I extend my own musical experience by becoming familiar with the music my pupils listen to and music that is assigned from their primary music instructor, as well as have them become familiar with other musical styles and by developing improvisation and vocal skills.

James S

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Trumpet Recorder Fiddle

My goal is always to take students where they are: beginning, intermediate or advanced and help them discover and develop their own love of music. I do this through introducing music that develops their skill and gives them the satisfaction of playing music that they enjoy. It is not only about playing scales and such but learning to play musically so that people they may play for in the future will enjoy listening to them and they will enjoy sharing what they have learned.

Juan I

Instruments: Violin

My teaching style is more relaxed and less strict than other teachers, especially for beginner students, though I do emphasize the importance of consistent practice and listening. I believe that not only practicing, but also listening to what you are practicing, especially, pieces is very important for the development of the musical ear. When teaching, I like to have the student practice and play many examples from the book that is being used, especially if they are short examples. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Grace R

Instruments: Violin Viola

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My Bachelor of Music was a concentration in Violin Performance. I chose this path because I primarily wanted to be a performer able to play in orchestras and live music settings. I was also lucky enough to have a teaching internship during college, so although I was giving recitals and learning major violin repertoire, I was also learning how to be a better teacher. My performance education has allowed me to do everything I want to do because it was a well rounded program. I am able to perform with orchestras and popular artists as well as teach many students!

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal lesson with me begins with scales and technical exercises. We go over things like posture, bow hold, and left hand position in the first portion of the lesson. The student focuses on intonation, bowing straight, and making a solid sound. After scales and etudes, we move to any repertoire the student is working on. For younger students, it is generally something out of the Suzuki books. For older students, it is generally a more advanced piece, or any orchestra repertoire they are working on in their school or youth orchestra. While practicing repertoire, we focus on musicality as well as technique.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I teach the Suzuki Method as well as All for Strings method books for beginners. My more advanced students use the Carl Flesch Scale Book, as well as standard etude books (Sevcik, Dont, Wolfhart, Dounis, etc.) I grew up learning the Suzuki method, so naturally when I began teaching, those were the books I was most comfortable with. The Suzuki method is a wonderful way for students to learn skills through playing pieces. I find it makes students excited because they are actually getting to play a song rather than only scales or etudes. I supplement the Suzuki method with All for Strings so students get comfortable with note reading and technique early on.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
My decision to become a professional musician was a gradual one. I began playing the violin when I was eight years old. As I got older, I also became very involved in musical theatre. My schedule was filled with violin lessons and practice as well as stage productions and rehearsals. At some point the violin became my main focus, and I knew I wanted to pursue it in college. I had always been on the music career path in my private lessons, but once I decided to audition for colleges, I had to work even harder and prepare for my professional music education.

Rhythm Notation: Learning to Read Basic Rhythms

...acknowledge the strongest beats in a measure even if they’re not being played. Use the word “and” to account for the eighth notes in a measure. For example, a measure of only eighth notes in a 4/4 time signature should be counted as 1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and. An “e” and “uh” syllable can be used to count sixteenth notes.     Say It and Play It   The act of playing and saying a rhythm is a powerful way to solidify your rhythm reading knowledge.

During the turn of the 20th century, African American folk songs began to intertwine with traditional European music in cities like New Orleans, St Louis, and Chicago. The result became jazz music. Early jazz is often said to be the combination of complex African rhythms and western European harmonies, but it in reality both cultures contributed much more to the art form than that. African music brought hugely-impactful ideas to American jazz music like call and response phrasing and the unique ... Read More

...operatic repertoire. I’ve since echoed the importance of classical voice training in my own teaching after having experienced the benefits of my classical technique firsthand. I’ve performed an abundance of non-classical opportunities as a result of my technique, such as singing backup vocals for a hip hop album or taking on a contemporary, “belty” musical theatre role. I was hired for these jobs largely because the professionals who hired me trusted my abilities as a singer due to my classical background.   Classical technique is commonly used among voice teachers as a healthy foundation for any style of singing because ...

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.
