Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello

Guitar: For children, I prefer the FJH Young Beginner Guitar method, but for adults I would prefer Hal Leonard if the student is looking to learn both chords and melody using folk music. I could also teach guitar based on gospel and Christian praise music if the student prefers. I have taught students with an interest in rock music, but only to give them the basic foundation skills of chords and notes to build on with another teacher who has more of a rock music speciality.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe

For beginning students, I typically start with the universal drum exercises every drummer should know, like the Ted Reed's book "syncopation" or the very classic "stick control". These exercises are mostly for warm ups, hand coordination, internalizing rhythm, and speed training. Depending on their musical background, I often like to introduce basic music theory concepts just so we are able to speak the same language. Once a foundation is set, I quickly move to what the student's interests are. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

It is vital to show every student how talented they are. I set students up for success by giving them goals that are objective, acheivable, and flexible. Students should know exactly what I expect for the next lesson, so they can be be prepared. My goals for students are never to frustrate them, but challenge them to be better than they thought they could be. I like to leave each lesson with specific goals, but these goals have lots of room for "extra credit," meaning that students can experiment on thier own time with the exercises, allowing them to develope thier own unique musical style.

I am an instructor who tailors lessons based on the student's desires. Having been a performer since I was 13 years old, I work as a musical coach. My performing experience varies from pop, rock, country, jazz, hard rock, contemporary Christian and classical. I am a classically trained pianist and vocalist. Currently I play in a trio that performs regularly at nursing homes. I love bringing joy to the elderly by playing their favorite sing alongs as well as teaching them current music. Read More

Instruments: Guitar

For beginng students i like to start with Hal Lenords guitar 1 book and progress from there. I like to start kids with reading notation and little melodies cause it will help them in the long run. As they progress we will move to more advanced methods. I also use books when teaching such as guitar 1 to 3 it helps students learn how to correctly play rhythms as well as read music notation.

Instruments: Guitar

I have been performing since age 7 playing classical piano in recitals with my sister. I got my first guitar at the age of 12. At 15 I was playing around town with different bands. After years of playing in garage bands, I applied to Wayne State University and enrolled in their music department. I have a variety of musical experiences to draw from which is a benefit to my students. Read More

Instruments: Violin Viola

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I'm pleased to share the successes of my students over the years: 1. While teaching at Dulwich College, I focused on fostering a passion for music in each student. Although it was a relatively short tenure, I established effective communication with parents to ensure they were kept informed of their child's progress. 2. During my time at Soochow University, I achieved remarkable results. I'm proud to say that I achieved the highest average score for all students in the university's history, with an average of 90 out of 100 points. Additionally, I produced the highest-scoring individual student in the university's history, who scored 95 out of 100 points. Furthermore, one of my students secured a top position at the Concerto Competition, winning 3rd place. Perhaps most importantly, I played a pivotal role in 96% of my students gaining professional employment, and they have maintained successful careers to this day. 3. As a Music Instructor and Orchestra Assistant at the festival, I customized violin/viola lessons for young musicians aged 10-18. I monitored their progress through regular assessments, which ultimately led to outstanding performances. I also organized masterclasses and provided a platform for students to showcase their talents, helping them elevate their skills for festival concerts. 4. In my private studio, I conducted weekly and bi-weekly private violin and viola lessons for students aged 10-19. I taught a wide range of repertoire and essential techniques, catering to both beginner and advanced students. 5. At Muzika, I enhanced students' musical proficiency by conducting General and Instrumental Music Classes. I also collaborated with Nord Anglia Chinese International School by teaching violin ensemble. Additionally, I provided online tutoring to international students from Germany, China, and Taiwan. 6. In Germany, I taught Music Theory, Violin, and Viola in group and private lessons, working with students aged 6-12. I also assisted in creating a customized curriculum to accommodate the diverse student population. 7. At Taiwan Adventist College, I coached the High School Quartet Seniors, leading them to a 1st place finish at the Taiwan National competition. I also assisted College Ear Training and Dictation students in their preparation for quizzes and exams. Additionally, I taught in after-school programs to provide extra learning opportunities for students. 8. During my tenure as a Private Violin and Viola Student Teacher in Taiwan, I guided students successfully through various challenges, including entrance exams and competitions. One notable achievement was mentoring a violin student to achieve 3rd prize in the Taiwan National Competition. 9. While working at Taipin Elementary School, I led the school orchestra to a 3rd place finish in the Taiwan National Competition. I emphasized innovation, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence in my teaching approach. In summary, my students have achieved outstanding results, including top scores, competition wins, and successful careers in music. I am dedicated to nurturing their talents and helping them reach their full potential in the world of music.

Beginning Jazz Piano: Getting Started with Chords and Lead Sheets

...spots around the keyboard.     Now let’s go through how to build Diminished chords. Go back to Middle C and build a C Minor chord. With your pinky, move down to a Gb. The interval between C and Gb is a Tritone, and it provides the dissonance you hear in diminished chords. All Diminished chords are built off of a formula of the root-minor 3rd-Tritone (which is six half steps away from the root). Try playing Diminished chords at different spots around the piano.   Extended Chords   Once you know how to build basic chords, you’ll need to understand extended... Read More

Types of Ukuleles

...There are many types of ukuleles available in the world today. They come in different sizes, pitch ranges, and distinct styles to give them all a unique sound. Some ukulele craftsmen experiment with different woods, metals, and plastics to change the sound of the instruments, too. The first major difference you will find in different types of ukuleles are their size. Traditionally, ukuleles come in four sizes: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. The most common types of ukuleles are the soprano and concert, but this does not mean the other sizes do not have their merit.   Soprano Ukulele Soprano is the smallest size of ukulele available. Its size makes ... Read More

Principals of Basic Drum Beats for Rock, Part 1

...speak of a ‘drum beat’, we are typically referring to the main pattern a drummer plays in a given song (which in most rock and pop will typically be treated as a written part, to be played more or less the same in each performance, as differentiated from that of a jazz drummer, whose job tends to be more fluid and improvisatory, though not without its own standard patterns). The terms ‘beat’, ‘drum beat’, and ‘rock beat’ are often used interchangeably to refer to this pattern, and this pattern is generally recognized as the backbone that articulates the ‘beat’- in the larger sense- for the listener ...

Jazz Exercises for Saxophone: Intermediate Studies in 12 Keys

...the ii-V-I progression wherever you can find it (which will be many places). I highly recommend using the digital patterns, the common resolutions, and a combination of these two approaches over several jazz standards. For starters, I recommend playing over the blues, any rhythm changes (“I Got Rhythm”), “Autumn Leaves”, “How High the Moon”, “Solar”, and, if you’re looking for a challenge, “Cherokee”. These tunes are filled with ii-V-Is. “Cherokee” hits seven keys in one song.     Another way to practice the digital patterns and common resolutions over the ii-V-I progression is to run through the ii-V-I progression in ...

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.
