Matthew K

Instruments: Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I firmly believe that every student is different and deserves their own personalized lesson experience. I do my best to get an understanding of what a student's musical interests and goals are tailor their lessons towards those goals. I teach lots of songs, because that's what we want to play! I also do my best to make sure you understand WHAT you are playing so that you can take elements of one song and know how to re-use them later. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

I am an instructor who recognizes music as a powerful symbol of humanity and the dramatic emotional effects it has on people. I thoroughly enjoy sharing these experiences with my students, helping them to grow and become more acquainted with all that music has to offer. I graduated from Concordia University with a Bachelor of Arts in Music Education in May of 2013. I have been fortunate enough to play the guitar and piano in numerous musical outfits for the past ten years, having been featured on such festivals as the Warped Tour Festival, Music Fest North West, andThe Fest in Gainesville Florida.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I like to start each student off with the fundamentals. I think the fundamentals are very important for every musician. Once you master the basics, then we can move on the solo repertoire, or start to develop each musicians individual style. I want the lessons to be both fun and engaging. So it’s important to find what kind of music each student is interested in and then develop that interest and passion. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I have studied piano privately for almost 10 years. My first experience teaching piano was in high-school, when I taught after school lessons. Since then I've had the opportunity to absorb the teaching methods of many excellent instructors. My teaching approach continues to be influenced by these teachers. For example, I have found that my classical training has helped me approach all genres and styles of music. As I continue to teach and learn in different musical territories, I constantly return to the fundamentals. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele

My Philosophy is "learn how the student best learns". Expose all the students to note reading, ear training, youtube, music theory, improvisation techniques, composition, fingerstyle patterns, tablature, and singing, and then create a program that maximizes their potential and their long term feeling that music is fun and worth doing.

Kurt L

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For younger students and those just starting out, I will usually start with a basic introduction to their instrument, get them acquainted with it and how to properly play the instrument before moving on to basic scales and beginner songs. As for more experienced and older students, I try to figure out what their goals are as a musician and guide the instruction based on those goals and ensuring that things remain engaging as well as educational.

Writing Guitar Riffs

...  How you write your riff will depend on your unique musical situation. Are you working on writing material with a live band? Then you’ll need the musicians you work with to play certain sections of music over and over again while you put your musical intuition, creativity, and knowledge of scale and mode shapes into practice. If you’re writing alone, it’s a good idea to write guitar lines over simple chord structures. You can use songwriting software like Garage Band to record yourself playing chords, or to generate synthesized chord progressions.   Whatever your situation is, great writing occurs when someone gives themselves...

The Songwriting Process: Finding Your Voice

...where the real work begins.   Whether you begin your songwriting process with lyrics in mind or not, you’ll need to sit down with your instrument to come up with chord progressions. This won’t really be possible if you play an instrument like the saxophone or clarinet, so we recommend getting familiar with instruments like the piano or guitar. By “familiar,” we mean that you should know how to play basic chords on these instruments. If you don’t have access to a piano or guitar, consider using songwriting software on your computer. Apple computers now come stocked with a program called Garage Band, and ... Read More

Types of Clarinets

...sound and, therefore, its own applications. The clarinet is traditionally used in classical music: orchestras, symphonic and concert bands, marching bands, chamber ensembles, etc. It is used as both an ensemble and solo instrument. Because it has a history that extends back to the 1700s, the clarinet is used in traditional as well as contemporary classical repertoire. The clarinet was a very popular instrument in jazz from the 1910s to the 1940s. It was used in New Orleans music, but became extremely popular during the big band era. Names such as Benny Goodman and Woody Herman are still household names. Duke Ellington used ... Read More

...tends to fall back into the throat—by using the “Nng” hum to help bring the voice forward, the singer will have a much easier time transitioning into the middle and higher registers.   Hum to Vowel Transitions Using either of these two hums, try singing a descending 5-step scale somewhere in the middle or lower part of your vocal range (in Solfège, this scale would be Sol – Fa – Mi – Re – Do).   Ex: G4 – F4 – E4 – D4 – C4 Once the exercise feels comfortable, try sliding open from the hum to an ...

How To Find The Motivation To Practice

...starting to feel burned out? Then challenge yourself by creating a goal that has to do with learning a new piece of music in a completely different style than you’re used to. You’ll never get to the point in music where you’ll say, “I’m good; I know everything now.” There’s always something new to learn and hear, and that’s sort of a comforting thought when you think about it. Whether you’re completely new to music or you’ve been playing for a lifetime, doing your best to stay actively curious about music and all its possibilities will help you find the motivation to practice.   ...

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.
