Lauriann C

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Recorder

I use different methods depending of the students' age and ability. Singers should always learn to breathe correctly and vocalize depending on their range. I could also use the Vaccai method for opera aspiring singers. For basic piano guitar, chords and harmonizing for accompaniment. For the recorder to learn to read music and play what's written. I also can teach in Spanish and English. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Voice Drums Mallet Percussion Latin Percussion Electric Guitar Djembe Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For me, the most amazing aspect of teaching music is to assist students in developing a musical identity of their own. Nothing could be a greater blessing than to experience students cultivating a personal and profound relationship with the magic of music firsthand, and to be there to help them to further their passion is a gift beyond what I am capable of expressing in words. By sharing the musical knowledge I have gathered throughout my life in lessons that are dynamic and adaptable yet consistent in terms of supporting students' growth, it is my intention to help to nourish students' own love for music, just as others have inspired me to do the same.

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

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student's desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and need. can help you out. Read More

Stephen C

Instruments: Guitar

I simply love what I do and do what I love when it comes to playing and teaching guitar. As I said before, I approach the student with the method of playing "by ear", so that when they have heard the chord(s), and song(s) a time or two they will have the ability to play them from memory. Read More

Aaron H

Instruments: Guitar

I am a fun and very versatile guitar instructor who loves taking a student to the next level with their guitar in which ever style they may be interested in. I just recently graduated from the University of Arkansas with a guitar degree in Jazz and Classical with a minor in German. I was the lead singer/guitar player for a Blues/Jazz band in highschool and played with a few local band in Fayetteville, AR where I went to school. Read More

Chris B

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

Most schools use the Hal Leonard Essential Elements and I tend to focus on this method as supplemental instruction but other methods are fine as well especially if the student is already working through a particular method book. For young students I encourage a mix of formal music instruction with music the student enjoys. Nothing unlocks a love of learning like discovering how your favorite music works! Adult students are welcome to tailor their lessons to their musical goals whether that's learning Bach or Breaking Benjamin! Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Jason S

Instruments: Saxophone

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would likely still be a teacher, but for a different subject. Probably Math. I loved that too when I was in school. I've also taken a liking to cars, so I could perhaps be working as an auto mechanic or doing something else in the auto industry.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
We will start with long tones to warm up. Select scales and arpeggios will come next. If possible, we will do exercises relevant to the material being practiced. For example, blues scales will be done to lead into jazz tunes and improvisation. Next, we will address solos, concert music, or any other material that needs addressing. Finally, we will warm down with long tones. Depending on the circumstances, I would do some sight-reading with my students as well. I would either challenge them to read and play a piece of music on their own, or I will play a duet with them.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
The Rubank Method books are simple, to the point, and set a great foundation. Jamey Aebersold's books do the same for jazz/pop music and improvisation. If your school offers you a specific method book, we may use that to keep things consistent for you. After all, there isn't a truly bad method book out there. The overall goal of lessons will be to rely on method books less and less over time, although you may return to them from time to time.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Simple answer: the Saxophone is COOL. I've always loved the sound and feel of the instrument. The instrument is also extremely versatile. It has been embraced by every style of music. Unlike most other acoustic instruments, you can truly make the sound your own.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
It would have to be a very ambitious senior recital in college that contained about an hour's worth of music. It was wonderful to share and perform.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
For me personally, it's the altissimo register (notes above the true range of the instrument.) This skill takes a lot of time and patience to discover, let alone master. It's a lot like discovering a hidden passageway in a video game that not many people know about.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The number one priority is that you play every day, whatever that entails. Being a musician is similar to being an athlete. As such, too much time off will cause you to lose progress in your training. Play every day.

Jazz Scales: The Pentatonic Scale

...also be applied to more standard jazz tunes. Over a major7 chord, you can play a major pentatonic scale based on the fifth of the chord (G A B D E over a Cmaj7 chord). Over a minor(major7) chord, you can play a major(b6) pentatonic scale based on the fifth of the chord (E F# G# B C over an Amin(maj7) chord).   There’s a cool way to use the pentatonic scale in an ascending half-step progression over a ii-V-I progression. You start by using a major pentatonic scale based on the seventh of the ii7 chord. Then, go up a half-step for the... Read More

...intervals themselves, the relationships found in these scales are permanent. The notes found in major and minor scales form the keys we hear in music.   Memorizing two simple patterns will let you build major and minor scales not only on every note on the keyboard but on every note in music. Again, we’re using the key of C as an example to make things easy, but you should use the patterns you learn here with other keys for practice. The pattern here is represented by whole-steps (major 2nds) and half-steps (minor 2nds). Starting from C, follow the sequence of whole and ... Read More

Guitar Maintenance: Keeping Your Guitar in Top Shape

...The guitar sounded amazing, and for good reason. Up until I was in my mid-twenties it was the most expensive thing I’d owned. I quickly got to work writing songs and performing at venues with my new beloved instrument. My Taylor acoustic accompanied me to hundreds of shows across the country like a trusty best friend. One unbearably-hot summer day on a downtown Denver rooftop bar, my band played a big show that was sponsored by the local alternative station. As we set up our equipment for sound check, I opened my guitar case to a sight of complete and utter horror: ... Read More

The Haydn Trumpet Concerto

Haydn apparently inherited his enormous musical talent from parents who knew nothing about music; his father made wheels (referred to as a “wheelwright”), and his mother worked as a cook for wealthy families in the area.   The young Haydn began musical studies with a cousin when he was six years old, and his apparent aptitude for instruments, singing, and all things musical drew the attention of the musical director at St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the foremost cathedral in Austria. Thus, at the age of 8, Haydn left for Vienna, where he sang in the cathedral choir and participated ... Read More

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.
