Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar

Apart from only taeching, I also love to learn. I love to learn about what inspires people, about what motivates them and what they dream of becoming or acomplishing. No judgements, no rushing. Everybody learns at they're own speed. I set realistic goals and encourage students to find they're own style of expression. Learning music should always be fun. As a father of a 2 year old whom loves his guitar, I can teach from the youngest of students, to the more advanced ones. Read More

I've found that the most effective way to teach fundamentals is to do it within the context of my students' favorite songs. This provides instant gratification as the student is able to play something they know and like while at the same time they're learning the techniques they'll need for more complicated challenges in the future. For younger students who haven't developed their own taste in music yet I introduce them to songs of many different styles so that they can start to determine where they want to go musically in the future.

I have been teaching guitar lessons for 8 years, both our of a storefront and in home lessons. I began with a couple students 1 day a week, and eventually grew my clientele to 35-40 students per week. I have experience and appreciate working with children, teenagers, and adults. They all offer a different challenging and rewarding experiences as an instructor. Helping children develop a passion for music is one of the most rewarding experiences I can think of. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Organ Latin Percussion

My style of singing is called "Bel Canto", italian for beautiful singing. Smooth, flowing melodies, flatter the voice to help it become even, flexible and expressive. My student's voices will not wear out, but rather, they grow stronger and more responsive to their owners emotions. Students will learn about all the areas of the body in which the voice can travel, articulation and enunciation, and a huge array of vocal exercise. Read More

I always like to simplify the information delivery and maximize the playing. For this reason and, considering the differences that make us all unique, I would generally rely on specific methods depending on the needs of each student. Of course, in general terms, most beginners would have quite a lot of transcribing (playing songs or relevant parts of songs of important musicians), most intermediate students will learn some scales and chords and their uses and most advanced students will learn chord melody (solo guitar), improvising and comping in different styles and writing and arranging songs.

Teacher In Spotlight

Leah K

Instruments: Voice

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My high school choir director! I had always loved singing, but she really inspired me with her encouragement, respect for me, and the opportunities she gave me. She made me into such a confident person and singer, and I have so much gratitude for her. Because of her, I decided that I wanted to do the same thing for other people.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I have been singing for my entire life! I loved singing more than anything in the world. For my second birthday, I received a bucket of sand toys, but I took the bucket and started playing it like a drum. As a child, I used to sing Disney songs for my family in the living room. I loved performing and being on the stage for as long as I could remember. Singing has just always been a part of me!

When will I start to see results?
Most of my students will begin seeing results immediately. I am extremely thorough with my students, and I will give them suggestions for how to improve immediately. Like learning anything, you're going to constantly improve. I am not a miracle worker. Most of the work has to come from you. I make sure to give my students the tools for successful singing, and then it is up to them to put that to practice. Your results will come faster if you practice effectively.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
In my opinion, voice lessons should not begin until a child starts puberty. This is a controversial statement, but based on my background in vocal health studies, I have found that it is more appropriate for children to begin lessons once they are beginning puberty; even after puberty. From the time a child is born to the time they reach puberty, this is a critical time for vocal exploration. Musical aptitude does not level out until the age of 9, and the voice changes during puberty in both males and females. Kids who are singers should spend their childhood singing songs and exploring their voices, and then the formal training should begin at puberty.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Don't practice voice too much! I always advise my students to practice, at MOST, 30 minutes a day. The voice is not like a regular instrument. Practicing too much can make your voice tired and even cause some vocal injuries. I believe that singing should be fun! I never want my students to become stressed or tired due to practicing too much. When practicing, I advise my students to sing a song we've been working on, record themselves. and listen to the recording. Think of some technical aspects that could be improved and sing it again!

Concert pitch is an aspect of music that is thoroughly ingrained, weaved deep into its foundation. It’s not as difficult of a concept as it might seem at first. Like I said, I can read concert pitch lead sheets on my alto sax with complete fluency. I know a lot of musicians that can’t do this, and they do just fine in most situations. However, knowing concert pitch and being able to transpose is a good skill that I ... Read More
