Marc M

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar

I stress the importance of reading music from the get go. I do understand however that some (adults) only want to learn to play some songs for their own personal gain, and not have to mess around with note reading. (Guitar is an instrument that can be played by ear, and to some degrees at a high level.) To that I do not require any books. I'll always reiterate the importance of reading..."Just think how good Eddie Van Halen would have been had he been able to read music!" For Children: Mel Bay Children Guitar Method 1 (Blue Turquoise cover) For beginners steel string and jazz: Hal Leonard Guitar method book 1 (Black and Orange cover) For Classical: Foundations in Classical guitar by Brian and Mary Lou Roberts I ALWAYS strive for the student to become familiar with performing and playing with others.

Alexander W

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Banjo Ukulele Double Bass

I have been playing music for the vast majority of my life, it is my passion and purpose in life. I play a multitude of genres and instruments because I love to be able to speak every dialect of Great Communicator, the universal language that is Music. I have played in Arabic, Jazz, Folk, Country, Metal, Funk, large Orchestras, small chamber classical music throughout my varied carreer as a performer and I thouroughly enjoy catering my education approach to my student's individual tastes.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Double Bass

I have been teaching students for over 10 years. In addition to piano, guitar, violin, and double bass private lessons, I have also taught group lessons. I taught a group piano lab for 5th graders. I taught group guitar lessons to camp students. I have been a member of two private lessons instutions who help me find private students on all instruments so that I can travel to students homes or have them come to my home studio. Read More

Morris B

Instruments: Piano Guitar

I like to teach at your pace. If you want me to teach you songs, we can learn tabs and chords. Also, I can teach fundamental music theory which includes things like scales so you can solo on your guitar in certain keys of the song. The theory will also tell you which chords you can play, so if someone says play in G minor, you know what notes are the right ones to play. Read More

Michael H

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer

For beginning students, I start with the traditional Mel Bay (or comparable) beginner books that focus on the fundamentals while building strength and coordination and just build from there.  For students with a little more experience, I like to focus on more challenging exercises and concepts while nurturing their knowledge of music theory and performance.  Each student is different and knowing what motivates them motivates me.  My goal is to have them want to pick up their instrument and play.

Nicholas C

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Bass Guitar Double Bass

Just as every player has their own musical personality and voice, so too does every lesson that Nicholas gives. In a supportive, patient environment, every lesson is custom tailored to the student. Being musical is inherent to being human, so when a students’ musical abilities fail to progress, it is the teaching method that has failed, not the student. While my educational background allows me to offer my students a high level of instruction in instrumental technique, my first priority with every student is to foster their love and understanding of music through playing their instrument.  Read More

Anthony R

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I began teaching guitar lessons in my home studio while I was still in college. I encourage frequent practice on a consistent schedule. When I began playing as a teenager, I practiced for up to 11 hours each day. There is no way that I could expect any of my students to possibly do that, but I do stress the importance of practicing often while keeping things fun. I also encourage my students to keep an open mind and listen to all genres of music, as there is something that can be learned from each genre, from metal to jazz to classical. Read More

...Little Star,” he is ready for lessons. The same applies to being in the studio. If a child can’t sit still, parents will want to make arrangements so that the child can safely be taken outside when he has had enough. When it comes to noise, don’t be worried about small stuff. Dropping a pencil or having the cell phone ring accidentally isn’t a major incident. Let the parent deal with the disruption quickly and move on. We know that accidents happen.

...that long tones have to offer. When playing long tones, you want to listen for intonation and for a steady tone. Ideally, you would play your long tones with a tuner, so you make sure you’re playing in tune throughout the entire range of the horn. You want the tone to be straight, steady, and un-wavering. If you can’t keep a steady tone, that’s okay. It will just take some practice. But, a steady tone is the ultimate goal. You should set your metronome to quarter note = 60 and try to hold each tone for about ten beats.     ... Read More

It’s better to wind up with something that is a little too small than to have an instrument that is too large. Work with your teacher to find the best fit. It may take some searching through a number of different instruments, or even several stores. But finding correct violins for beginners is key to giving students the best start possible. It’s how great musicianship begins – with a careful ... Read More

...those notes and phrases), which is essential to any singer’s ear training. Additionally, because one scale typically covers several pitches spanning an octave, practicing scales challenges and expands the vocal range.     Scales can be sung in a variety of ways and offer the opportunity for customization depending on each singer’s needs and goals. For example, the singer can choose whether to sing a scale on vowels or solfège syllables, whether to sing an ascending scale, a descending scale, or both methods combined as one vocal exercise, and which direction to develop within the vocal range.   I’ve listed ...

...at the optimal base width depends on a couple variables, and depending on your particular setup, some trial and error will be necessary. Fundamentally, each base should be set as wide as possible given space limitations (the reason for this I hope is obvious). Smaller base widths are fine for lighter cymbals, and the widest you can manage for heavier, larger cymbals, or very heavy-hitting drummers (relax cowboy, they have microphones at the club)! Adjusting the high-hat stand can take some getting used to, but the main concern is having the foot pedal flat on the floor. And finally, the throne. Opinions vary on throne ... Read More
