Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

When I think about a student learning wintry to put myself in there shoes. They want to feel like they have something to show for the time that they were the class session. . if we have an hour session and at the end of the session they can go out and show off what they learned then they will. It be as motivated to come back.... So my method is to teach them while at the same time giving a practical aspect where they have something that can show and practice to develop the skill learned in the proviso session. Read More

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 students 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 needs. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I believe in creating individual course plans for each student. I always ask what the student wants to learn and if he has any particular songs he wants to learn to play. I try to teach him something basic as soon as possible that he can share with family and friends. This helps keep him interested. I teach how to hold and tune a guitar, left hand positioning, using all four fretting fingers and other basics. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar

Ever since I was a child I had wanted to be a teacher. When I got to Central Piedmont Community College I focused on music education because I knew I wanted to teach music theory in college. After transferring to Wingate University I began studying choral music education because I was fascinated byhow the voice works and blends with other voices in a choir situation. I have had the opportunity to study rock bass, jazz bass, classical guitar, piano, and even private voice lessons from private lessons all the way up through college level lessons and these lessons have given me such a drive and passion for not only music, but music education.

My teaching experience dates back to 1988 when I began teaching. It's the greatest feeling in the world to see pupils learn to love music and grow as musicians. Teaching music in the style of interest to the student is important to maintaining interest and motivation to practice. The key is fun and enjoyment. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

James W

Instruments: Piano Guitar Ukulele Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I've recorded two albums, and have a catalog of original music for future recordings.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Not to my knowledge, but maybe you can be the first.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Every student will have their own answer and I would not want to influence anyone with my own bias here.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I've used many method books, but settled on Faber , Alfred, and/or Bastien for piano students; FJH, Alfred, and/or Basix for guitar students. These methods present the information in the best way, have the best songs, and are easiest to follow.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I had the idea from a very young age, and it just never went away. Between my junior and senior years of high school I attended the Berklee 5-week Summer program and that convinced me to pursue music as a career and go to Berklee.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My mother sang in choirs, but my family is not really musical.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Any of my own because I wrote them.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Something that helps other people and gets me outside. Fireman?

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The most important thing is consistency. Practice every day, even if it's just a few minutes.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
That changes every day.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started on piano because I loved Classical music, but took up the guitar as a teenager because I wanted to play more Rock and Popular music I was hearing on the radio.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a degree in Performance because I wanted to be an excellent player of my instrument. I also got a degree in Business just to be educated in that side of music.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
There is no normal. I work on what needs to be practiced, but I always with a stopwatch so I know how much time I've put in.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I've had many great teachers. My first piano teacher, Carolyn Victorine, taught me for 11 years. She was always positive and encouraging, and I strive to teach the same way. Rarely will a negative phrase come out of my mouth during a lesson.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Piano and guitar are equally important to me. I could never pick one over the other. However, I gravitated toward these two instruments because of the incredible capabilities they offer to play any kind of music you want.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
First of all, are they enthusiastic about music? Children can start musical instruction as early as 4 years old, and even younger in some specialized programs. It really depends on the child, and the approach of the teacher. I've had students begin at 4 years old, but I wasn't ready myself until the age of 7. With young children I'm careful to pick age-appropriate material and incorporate other activities to enhance the learning. A trial lesson is the best way to assess their potential.

When will I start to see results?
There is no universal answer for this, but if a student is committed to practicing regularly and putting in the effort, results should come quickly. I strive to teach something new every lesson, and push students just enough to keep them improving without overwhelming them.

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.
