Fredric S

Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For beginning students, I typically start with materials from Mel Bay or Hal Leonard. Once a student has completed this, I begin to offer materials that are more specific to the musical genre that they have stated interest in. As a student progresses, I work to expose them to a variety of techniques with a focus on helping them to develop their own unique voice on their instrument. My hope is that, during this process, students would come to view growing in their musical gifts as an enjoyable and fulfilling process that continues throughout their life. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Harmonica Recorder Keyboard

I am a dedicated, passoniate, and serious musician who wants to share my love of musical creativity with the rest of the world and the coming generations. I graduated from North Carolina Central University, Magna Cum Laude, in 2007 with a Bachelor of Arts in Music Education. I completed my first album, Magna Carta, in 2009.

Morgan S

Instruments: Guitar Drums Mallet Percussion Electric Guitar

My experience takes me straight out of high school. I have been a drum tech at West Johnston High School since Fall of 2015. Since then I've risen in the ranks and have taken a much bigger role. In between all of that, I've all taught at Wake Christian Academy as Percussion director for about a year. I've given a couple of students from that school private lessons and I've encouraged all of them to become better and more educated in the marching arts! Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Ann S

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Ukulele Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Music

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Build it into a routine or schedule. (For example, always practice for the first thirty minutes following supper). Set a timer, don't look at the clock, and read the notes left by the teacher. I always give students a list of what I'm expecting them to practice, and part of the lesson is that I teach them how to practice what I've assigned.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Definitely a history teacher! History is my second love, and actually studying it is not that much different than studying musical styles. Both music and art reflect history almost more than a written record does! The world is full of rich cultures that I love to study, especially through music.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There is usually one of two reasons a student begins lessons, and each have a different answer. First, a child wants to learn. Sometimes kids say they really want to learn an instrument, but don't understand the effort and diligence that it takes. While music is a gateway to train a child in effort, diligence, patience, and self-discipline, it's helpful if you notice these qualities in your child in every day instances before they begin. If a child has proven that he is willing to put work in for other things, chances are if he's wanting to learn an instrument, he'll put in the work in that area as well. Also, long-term interest is more likely to result in long-term commitment. How long have they been asking for lessons? A couple of weeks, a couple of months, or on and off for years? These answers can help determine how ready your child is. Second, a parent is looking to expose their child to music education. In this case, it's likely that the initial desire to play the instrument is not had by the child, although they quite possibly are open to learning and often do eventually enjoy it. Because a main ingredient of success is motivation, the same qualities from the first reason above can be good indicators that your child is ready to add this commitment to their life. However, if your child has yet to learn diligence and self-control, especially while sitting for long periods of time (such as the length of a lesson or practice session), I would suggest that you introduce them to this quality first before putting them in lessons. A child that has to learn to sit still at a piano bench, in addition to all the skills the teacher is trying to introduce, is more distracted, and therefore will stay at a beginner's level longer to compensate.

When will I start to see results?
It all depends on the student, the instrument, and what you consider to be "results". If you consider a short melody played on the piano to be a result, the student will begin to learn these little "songs" by the second week of lessons. For violin students, you may not hear melodies that resemble recognizable songs for several weeks, although many notes and exercises are learned weekly.

...Disney.   “There’s no doubt Chuck Jones teases classical music. It’s high-falutin’, and Bugs isn’t that,” says William Gadea, founder of Idea Rocket Animation in NYC.   The Warner Bros. cartoons certainly weren’t devoid of artistic feeling, though. “When Bugs conducts in Long-Haired Hare and Baton Bunny, he really feels the music! It’s genuine,” adds Gadea.   If you’re familiar with Wile E. Coyote, Pepe le Pew, Elmer Fudd, Marvin the Martian, or Michigan J. Frog, then you’ll recognize the sharp wit and endless creativity of Chuck Jones. He burst onto the animation scene in the 1930s with Leon Schlesinger Productions—Schlesinger produced Looney Tunes—before continuing... Read More

...major has no flats or sharps, so by default it’s the easiest key to understand and play in. Now we’ll discuss the fifths part of the circle of fifths. A fifth refers to the interval above a note. Here’s where it gets slightly tricky. An interval of a fifth is located 7 half steps away from the original note. On the keyboard, a half step is the distance between C and C#. Starting with the note of C, if we count seven half steps above, we’ll arrive at the note of G. This is the right side of the circle; ... Read More

Types of Effects Pedals for Guitar

...octave above called the Octavia was first designed by Jimi Hendrix’s sound technician Roger Mayer in the 1960’s. The effect can be heard during his solo in the song “Purple Haze.” Today, octave pedals are used in many different genres including psych rock, indie pop, metal, and shoegaze. The hugely famous song “Seven Nation Army” by The White Stripes uses this pedal to generate notes an octave lower to create a low end bass line that’s played on the 6th string of Jack White’s guitar. When adjusted in just the right way, this effect pedal can mimic the sound of a booming pipe organ. ... Read More

...in freelance jobs or a regular orchestra routine with ease, right? Think again. Teaching violin is a full-body experience, and you need to plan ahead. For example, if you are in an orchestra, you will probably have a number of holiday concerts towards the end of the year. Or, if you know that wedding season really accelerates in the spring, you will need to make time for those rehearsals and ceremonies. Anticipate your obligations, and plan your teaching schedule around them. Put in some time for a break at the end of the year. Start lessons after a rest. You need to recharge your ... 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.
