Jordan L

Instruments: Guitar

Students that work with me aren't getting a teacher who won't challenge them to reach their goals. Like many of the students that come to me for lessons, I learned guitar at a relatively late age well into my teens. I was able to catch up to my peers by maintaining a diligent, intentional and varied practice regiment. I am half your teacher, half your coach. At the end of every lesson you will walk away with a clear idea of what your goals are, what you are going to practice this week and why I chose the homework I assigned. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Euphonium Acoustic Guitar

I'm a diverse and enthusiastic musician, dedicated to teaching, and convinced by the power of music to enrich peoples lives in every way. I graduated from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota with a Bachelor of Music degree in Trumpet Performance, and obtained Masters of Music degrees in both Trumpet Performance and Orchestral Conducting from Central Michigan University. I have performed with the Midland Symphony Orchestra, the Detroit Chamber Winds and Strings, the Round Top Festival Orchestra, and the Pierre Monteux Festival Orchestra. Read More

Gregory P

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Bass Guitar Organ Music Keyboard

I have a vibrant personality and I love teaching, especially when it comes to helping students grasp things where traditional teaching methods have proved to be intimidating or unaccommodating. I have performed in a variety of ensembles and have produced multiple volumes of my own compositions. My musical background is rooted in jazz, funk, soul, and latin music, and my teaching method will tend to emphasize "grooves," with a special eye toward harmony, syncopation, comping, and improvisation.

Instruments: Guitar Trombone Bass Guitar

Music has been a large part of my since I was a child, to include teaching. I started on trombone, moved to guitar, and found my real passion in electric bass. While I have led many careers in my life (construction, marketing, program management) music has always been a consistent side project. I have been fortunate enough to play and record with some well-known artists, and tour the US and UK. Read More

 If the student does not reach his/her goal and they put in genuine effort and most importantly, heart, then undoubtedly they have gained from it and I am never one to harshly criticize a student.  If I think they can do better I will tell them how, but for me, music is made primarily for enjoyment and self improvement and not for the approval of others or to be better than others.

Seamus M

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

No two students are the same! Firstly, I like to ask the students what the end goal is with their respective instrument. I don't rely on lesson plans, I observe the student as they run through exercises, and I develop each lesson based on areas that they need improvement in. I am extremely patient, and I acknowledge every accomplishment I can. As long as the student is willing to learn, I am willing to teach at whatever pace is comfortable for them. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Robert B

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
There are many different teachers and instructors and players that have inspired me over my lifetime with playing guitar. I can’t really say there’s been one specific teacher that has brought me into the mindset of inspiration but it’s definitely more than one. Names such as Frank Gambale, Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriani, Sebastian Bach, and Mozart to name a few. They are great dedication and passion with a hint instruments definitely inspired me to push my limits and take my plane to the next level I always looked up to someone who was honest and diligent with their instrument that’s what matters most to me.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
An effective practice comes from retaining the knowledge and effectively using it in real situations with your instrument. It’s one thing to learn but it’s another thing to learn and to use which is what I am to provide students with these lessons. I always suggest that my students use their knowledge they retain in songwriting or live performances because that’s the best way to really know if what you’re learning is being affective. Effective practice must be done diligently every day if you’re really looking to see the for maximum results of my lessons. This applies with anything in life!

When will I start to see results?
Like they say Rome wasn’t built in a day so of course it’ll take more than a day to see results but the average student will begin to see results in a matter of weeks depending on how diligent and focus they are on their instrument. One student usually hit the six month mark there on a whole Nother plane level then when they first started most can see a drastic improvement in their playing by that point and are greatly satisfied with my lessons. You have to put in the work with whatever you do in life to see results results are based off of your ability to want to achieve a higher standard.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You really have to base it off of the child’s willingness and ability To want to excel with their instrument. Most children will automatically show interest in something they love and an eager hungry mind to want to succeed. As long as they display these traits then they are definitely ready to start taking lessons and bringing their skill level up to a higher standard. These are all things to think about before getting your child involved in taking lessons. You never want to force your child to do something that they don’t love that’s the key.

Being away from a job for too long also has the potential of hurting you or your bandmates financially. Rather than planning to be gone the entire summer or fall, try focusing on booking shorter...

...the heart of Disney’s decade-long run with his Silly Symphonies*–Walt Disney decided to try something new: He conjured up a 15-minute short called The Band Concert.     In the episode, Mickey Mouse played the part of conductor, and Donald Duck and Goofy were among the many familiar faces in the band itself. But although the short film was highly acclaimed for technical reasons, its use of Rossini’s William Tell Overture set the standard for using classical music in cartoons.   Following The Band Concert in 1935 and the conclusion of Silly Symphonies in 1939, Walt Disney decided to revitalize the “career” of his most ...

Learning how to play correctly as soon as possible will keep students from forming bad habits down the line.   Arpeggios are also a great way for students to develop their lead guitar playing prowess.

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.

Ok

Are you sure that's your only availability? The more availability you easier it will be to arrange a teacher for you.
