Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I focus on indvidualizing the lesson to the student. Every student has different goals, dreams, and personalities. I typically use the Faber Books for piano, Hal Leonard for guitar and ukulele, and I work in sight-reading with my voice students. I also work in music theory when appropriate, and enjoy explaining the "why" behind how music works. I'm also a singer-songwriter and have tunes on Spotify Apple Music. I write and produce my own songs and have had my compositions performed frequently. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Lap Steel Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Conga Latin Percussion Music Electric Guitar Djembe Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

This is where I think it is fun to be creative because we are all different. Everybody has a different method of interpretation and I feel like that is my job to figure out what works for you as an individual. For example I will simply ask you questions like what style of music are you listening to and songs you want to learn how to play. It is also my job to know the difficulty level and how to guide you in the right direction to keep things fun! Read More

I've been teaching music for more than 12 years now. I can honestly say that I enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge of music. Not everyone can say that they truly enjoy their job so I feel blessed. I have taught hundreds of students ranging from ages 4 to 80! I have taught individuals, groups or online lessons. During the pandemic I was lucky to I keep working because of zoom lessons. I don't know what I would have done without zoom lessons. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard

I usually start all of my piano students from the Alfred series. Those that are more advanced will complete the curriculum quicker.. Alfred seems to offer a more detailed instruction technique. It offers step by step instructions. The student can almost teach himself. For guitar I use the Everyday guitar method. This method introduces each string at a time. By the end of the book, you will be playing songs on each string. Read More

Austin P

Instruments: Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I am very easy teacher to learn from. I understand that every student is different, and learns at his or her own pace. I will move you along as fast or slow as you like, depending on how much information you are retaining. We will be doing a lot of memorization work, and written music theory, while you develop the necessary hand strength to play the guitar properly. So, with plenty of time, patience, and above all, PRACTICE, you will be well on your way to playing your favorite songs, and TEACHING YOURSELF new songs. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Corinne C

Instruments: Flute

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I have studied several other instruments, but I really only claim to play the flute well.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I am an English teacher by profession, and have performed professionally in musical settings occasionally over the last 20 years. I have done this in a variety of styles - chamber music, jazz, rock, Celtic, and contra dance bands. Most of my professional musical career has been in teaching, which began a long time ago. Teaching is in my blood, as is music, which I cannot live without.

When will I start to see results?
Results usually happen immediately, but expectations vary based on the instrument. Fortunately for flute players, the tone is easier to hear in the beginning than for string players. However, truly beautiful tones take time to develop. Within a month or two, any beginner can be playing duets with the teacher, something which brings great joy to both the student and the teacher, as well as little concert pieces. All of students have performed in recitals within a few months of beginning to lear the flute.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had several teachers that inspired me to go into music.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I wanted to play a variety of instruments as a child, but chose the flute due to its size and ease of transport. I was very young, only ten, so I didn’t understand the world of music performance very well yet.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The most important indicator is interest, but for wind players, physical size can become important. Breathing is part of the rhythm of the body, so it helps if the child is at least 8 or 9 years old in most cases. Therefore, learning to play the violin at age 5 is more realistic than learning to play a wind instrument at the same age. If a child shows great desire to learn a specific instrument, then this is a very important sign that she or he is ready to start lessons, but children should also understand that learning to play an instrument requires time and patience, but is also a lot of fun!

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
It is important to put in time practicing, but a little bit of time daily is better than a lot of time once a week. Be sure to practice when you have energy (not when you’re tired). Scales and studies are important to do consistently before approaching performance pieces. Developing a schedule that includes practice time is very important. I teach a lot of different “tricks”during lessons to help students overcome difficult passages. For wind players, it also very important to practice breath control, and there many exercises students can employ to accomplish this.

Jolene Chords for Acoustic Guitar (Dolly Parton)

...the “and” of each beat. Simply alternate between the P and I–M.   Jolene uses an alternating (bass and chord) fingerstyle accompaniment technique. Amongst guitarists, this technique is referred to as the boom-chick pattern. However, because of the alternating bass and I-M finger movement, it’s sometimes referred to as a clawhammer style because the fingers look like clawhammer from the player’s pov. Here’s the breakdown:   The “boom” is the bass played with the thumb (P) The “chick” is the higher part of the chord played with index and middle fingers (I-M)   The idea is simple: bass-chord, bass-chord; or, boom-chick, boom-chick. And, it’s explained in detail in the Jolene ... Read More

Jazz Scales: The Augmented Scale

...because it’s one of those scales that stands out to me as being unique and interesting. Maybe it’s just me. You’ll probably find other scales more interesting. But that’s the thing about music: everyone has different taste and no one’s taste is necessarily bad. I said at the beginning that there aren’t as many resources about the augmented scale as there are about the other scales that we’ve talked about. If the augmented scale is interesting to you so far, and you feel like studying further, I recommend “The Augmented Scale in Jazz: A Player’s Guide” by Ramon Ricker and ... Read More

How Music Theory Can Improve Your Songwriting

...note other than the root at the bottom of a chord. A C major chord is C-E-G, but when you change the order of the notes to E-C-G you’re inverting the chord, and it will sound different and a lot more interesting depending on the song’s context. If you want to hear an amazing use of inversions and perfectly-arranged chord voicings, listen to God Only Knows by The Beach Boys. Experiment with extended chords by adding non-chord tones (notes that don’t fit into a chord’s formula) into a chord. Each added note will give your chords a new identity and feel that you can’t ...

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.
