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

Every student starting off deserves to feel comfortable and stress free when learning. Music is there to help us let go of every day life and to have something to express our creativity. No one should feel like playing music is a job and anything the student wishes to learn will be taught to them in a friendly environment. Students will learn everything to help them get started on their journey of playing the music they love the most and getting a nice jump start towards becoming teachers themselves. Read More

Rachel L

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

I spend a lot of class time teaching students how to practice correctly so that when they are practicing alone they will know what to do to make their time productive. I love seeing the pride and self confidence that a student develops from mastering a particularly difficult exercise. I love being able to encourage them and see them through the tough times and be able to celebrate those victories with them. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I have been teaching beginner guitar students for just over 1 year now. I have taught students from ages 5 years old to 60+ yrs. My love for guitar is expressed through teaching others who have a desire to learn, and to develop a passion for music as it relates to playing the guitar. I believe that anyone can develop this skill, if they just dedicate themselves to lots and lots of practice, and book study. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I have experience providing lesson content in both an in-person and online environment. I got started teaching originally providing informal instruction to friends who were learning guitar. They thought I excelled at it and encouraged me to pursue providing instruction further and so I started to seek out and find students to teach. I also have experience arranging popular music for classical guitar and set up a website to teach fingerstyle guitar through tutorials I provide on some of the songs I've arranged. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Philip C

Instruments: Violin

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Definitely the first time I played concertmaster in a collegiate ensemble. One of my most memorable moments as a violinist was playing Lark Ascending in the BW Conservatory Convocation, a prestigious recital where the best people in the school perform. Finally, the greatest highlight of my musical career thus far was performing the Bach Chaconne on my senior recital.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Intonation. If you're playing a piano, if any of the notes are out of tune, it's the piano tuner's fault. Between all of the right notes on a violin's strings are a whole lot of notes that are just barely NOT right, and due to how athletic and intense so much of the violin's repertoire is, it's difficult to have perfect intonation at all times. The tragedy is that that lack of perfect intonation is very noticeable... It's an uphill battle for sure.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I teach out of the Galamian and Flesch scale books, I use Kreutzer for etudes, and as far as repertoire goes, I take many excerpts from Suzuki books.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
The first step is establishing perfect form in the left and right hands. I play a lot of exercises on open strings for my right hand and I spend just as much time building strength and proper shape in the left hand. When my body is optimal condition, I move on to accelerating scales, Galamian style. I then spend about a half hour on etudes before doing slow, detailed work on my repertoire with a metronome and drone.

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 BA in Violin Performance from BW! I decided to pursue this degree because I was good at it and because of how much I loved the school's Conservatory program.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
The Bach Chaconne. Bach holds a special place in my heart, because it is the perfect synthesis of human emotion and masterful technique. No piece exemplifies this more than the Chaconne, which is one of the greatest masterpieces to ever grace the world of classical music.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
In my free time, I love writing, arts and crafts, and my cat, Chip. I'd have to say that I'd be either a writer of a veterinarian!

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Either Baroque or Contemporary. I love the flowing counterpoint of Baroque music, and I love the eccentric, fresh energy that is carried in all things Contemporary. This is probably because I have a lot of composer friends!

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I don't, but one day, I'd like to learn the viola.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My grandfather was a music educator specializing in band, and my dad was an excellent saxophone player before he decided to change the direction of his life and focus on English. My mom played the guitar back in her college days.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I started getting more serious about the violin in high school, my life reached a turning point. I was getting better grades. I was becoming a better person. Music changes your life for the better, and experiencing life turns you into a better musician. By senior year, I knew that I wanted to pursue this professionally.

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.
