Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For most students, especially beginners, I use a combination of the Berklee materials, including Modern Method for Guitar, as well as my own teachings. I like to get my students to a level at which they can actually make/play music first, using their current favorite genre of music. The sooner they can make sounds on the instrument that resemble something close to "music," the sooner they'll fall in love with the instrument. Read More

Brett C

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching method is entirely student driven. Every student has different goals and different styles of learning. Because of this, the "cookie-cutter" approach many teachers take are ineffective. I take the time during the first lesson to ask the student what their short and long term goals are with their instrument, and from there I can start laying out a lesson plan. As I have more lessons with the student, I can observe their learning style and adjust my teaching approach accordingly.  Read More

Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience started back in High School. I was in a music class and every month I would get to teach kids how to play the ukulele. In college, I started teaching private music lessons and worked at a local music shop and I would teach people how to play songs before purchasing an instrument. I taught students of all ages ranging from a 3 year old little girl to a 68 year old retired mailman. Read More

Paul P

Instruments: Piano Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For Guitar I feel that it is best for everyone to start out learning classical and then branch out to other styles. However,  I , as a teacher want to teach everything if I can , while at the same time really focusing on what the students goals are in learning to play and what music gets them excited about playing. So I will use standard guitar teaching materials such as studies from Sor and Giuliani , or Segovia scales , or certain method books by Hal Leonard , Scott Tennant etc...but each student is different and my approach is focused on tailoring everything to each student specifically.

Alison K

Instruments: Guitar Voice Trombone Flute Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I taught general music, choir, piano, and band in the public schools. I also worked in an after school youth orchestra, teaching woodwinds. Before that, I taught guitar to friends and some beginning students. I also helped my classmates who were learning guitar. I have mostly worked with beginners, and some more intermediate students. I have taught in the classroom setting and small group lessons, and some one-on-one lessons. I feel my greatest strength is teaching beginners and elementary aged students. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Robert B

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

When will I start to see results?
Like they say Rome wasn’t built in a day so of course it’ll take more than a day to see results but the average student will begin to see results in a matter of weeks depending on how diligent and focus they are on their instrument. One student usually hit the six month mark there on a whole Nother plane level then when they first started most can see a drastic improvement in their playing by that point and are greatly satisfied with my lessons. You have to put in the work with whatever you do in life to see results results are based off of your ability to want to achieve a higher standard.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
There are many different teachers and instructors and players that have inspired me over my lifetime with playing guitar. I can’t really say there’s been one specific teacher that has brought me into the mindset of inspiration but it’s definitely more than one. Names such as Frank Gambale, Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriani, Sebastian Bach, and Mozart to name a few. They are great dedication and passion with a hint instruments definitely inspired me to push my limits and take my plane to the next level I always looked up to someone who was honest and diligent with their instrument that’s what matters most to me.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You really have to base it off of the child’s willingness and ability To want to excel with their instrument. Most children will automatically show interest in something they love and an eager hungry mind to want to succeed. As long as they display these traits then they are definitely ready to start taking lessons and bringing their skill level up to a higher standard. These are all things to think about before getting your child involved in taking lessons. You never want to force your child to do something that they don’t love that’s the key.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
An effective practice comes from retaining the knowledge and effectively using it in real situations with your instrument. It’s one thing to learn but it’s another thing to learn and to use which is what I am to provide students with these lessons. I always suggest that my students use their knowledge they retain in songwriting or live performances because that’s the best way to really know if what you’re learning is being affective. Effective practice must be done diligently every day if you’re really looking to see the for maximum results of my lessons. This applies with anything in life!

How To Sing And Play Piano At the Same Time

...simple (for now)   If you want to master the skill to sing and play piano at the same time, it’s essential that you start by choosing simple chords or even single notes to play on the piano. This material should be played at a slow and steady pace. We’ll start by giving you an exercise that has you playing and singing a single note with your left hand in unison.

...possible. Memorize, practice, and rehearse each song thoroughly before you even consider putting it in front of an audition panel. Research the composer as well as any background information related to each song. This step is often arduous but will make an enormous difference in the singer’s professionalism.   Many audition panels hire pianists to accompany the singers, meaning the singer most likely won’t have the opportunity to rehearse with the pianist before auditioning. In most cases, these pianists are fantastic and have played the singer’s chosen repertoire hundreds of times throughout his or her career. Keep in mind that the more obscure ... Read More

Violins for Beginners: To Rent or to Buy?

...a string? Or have the sound post fall over? Bring it in. Stores like to keep their inventory instruments in good shape, so it works in your favor. How about buying the first violin? Well… check with your teacher first. Unless you are a violinist yourself, it’s better to let the teacher help a student find the correctly-fitting first instrument. Violins for beginners are a tricky thing to size, because the new musician doesn’t know how the instrument should feel. Is it too heavy? Too long? Too wide? Too – something? Let the teacher help you choose the correct instrument. While store clerks ... Read More

In the beginning it can be more difficult to find the exact notes on a fret-less bass, but with a little practice playing a fret-less bass will become natural.   Finally, one last consideration for your perfect type of bass guitar: the scale of the neck. A bass guitar fretboard that is the full, traditional length is known as full scale. You can find ¾ scale bass guitars as well as short scale bass guitars. On the shorter scale bass guitars the frets ... Read More

How to be a boring jazz musician? Well, here’s where this stuff begins to pay off. We’ve got all the permutations of digital patterns and we understand how to connect chords via common resolutions. When we combine these two, things start to come together. The following example demonstrates this over “Autumn Leaves” once again.       In this example, we’re using digital patterns ... Read More
