Instruments: Piano Guitar Cello Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Mandolin Double Bass Music Keyboard Djembe

Throughout the 8 12 years that I have been teaching I have been learning a lot about many different methods and teaching styles. I always had thought that what I was being taught could have been taught in a more natural and more efficient way. I have borrowed many of my ideas from some of the greatest teachers in history and believe the most in the bel canto method created but David Jacobsen who is an alumni of the Curtis Institute of Music, the greatest school of music in the world.

Instruments: Guitar

The way I have always approached teaching is the same way i learned music, to try and make each concept make sense by breaking down and relating basic key points of playing and improvising to each other. For example, I like to emphasize breaking down chords and the related scales in an easy to undertand and logical way. I emphasize the importance of phrasing and shaping chords while using such shred techniques as alternate picking, legatto, sweep picking and tapping. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Every student learns a different way and I always take the first lesson to evaluate what the student is passionate about. Some students want to get straight to playing songs and some want to learn sheet music first. I am comfortable with starting anyway they need. If the student starts to get bored after a few lessons I try and bring in new toys related to the instrument such as a new kind of cymbal or a slide guitar to try and spark some inspiration again!

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Harmonica Lap Steel Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Recorder Conga Latin Percussion

I currently teach music part-time at two Montessori elementary schools in the Southeast Valley which include after-school music classes and private lessons. I am the Worship Pastor at RPFChurch in Tempe, AZ where I play guitar and direct the worship team. I love to share my passion for music with every student and encourage them to enjoy playing their chosen instrument. I am also involved in reforming music education by writing methods and curriculum which make music fun, accessible and relevant to all ages. Read More

Benjamin F

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Keyboard Electric Guitar

My teaching experience dates back to my days working in Los Angeles working as staff composer songwriter, as I began to teach private piano and voice lessons part time 15 years ago I've found that a combination of blues and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy and progress their studies in piano, voice and guitar. The most important lesson is to have FUN! I encourage my students to work on their own compositions that promotes creativity. Read More

Bonnie C

Instruments: Guitar Banjo Ukulele Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I teach out of several methods, depending on the desires and needs of each individual student. I do make sure all students have a basic understanding of note reading, rhythm, chord building, right hand techniques and various styles. We learn to strum, play arpeggios and improvise...everything the student needs to feel comfortable playing and performing. I encourage participation in recitals and make times available on a monthly basis for students to explore performance in a non-competitive, encouraging atmosphere. Read More

Aaron W

Instruments: Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Mallet Percussion Music Acoustic Guitar

I believe that my students should have high expectations and have fun while completing goals. I make sure lessons are fun and progressive. I hold my students to high expectations so when they meet their goal they actually kill two birds with one stone (ex: figuring out a difficult passage in school music while progressing in technique exercises). I give students accompanying assignments to be supplemental to what they have in technique or to help with school music. Read More

Blank Space Chords for Beginner Guitar (Taylor Swift)

...for surprising players and derailing a song’s performance). This tune has a Bridge; however, you simply need to remember to drop out or perform a muted-strum pattern over a D chord.         Wrap-up   I hope that you’ve enjoy learning the Blank Space chords. This is a fun tune that is popular among female audience members—and, a great go-to song. I sometimes perform with a female vocalist and we’ll strategically place this tune in the set-list when we need to win over an audience of younger female members.   I appreciate you checking out this lesson. Thank you for hanging... Read More

Jazz Scales: The Blues Scale

...jazz, you’ll figure out which musicians use the blues scale more than others, what periods it was more popular during, etc. For example, Stanley Turrentine was a saxophone player who used the blues scale liberally. Take a listen to some of his music.   I should mention that sometimes people talk about multiple blues scales (i.e. major and minor). The one I wrote about here is the most common blues scale, and to some people the only blues scale. I just wanted to mention this, just in case you ever run into anyone talking about multiple blues scales. But this should be more than ... Read More

Testing Room Acoustics for Musicians

...It may sound like a difficult situation to control, however there are a number of identifiable factors that influence this.   Most notably, the shape of a room will determine how the sound waves bounce. Symmetrical rooms notoriously have poor acoustics. Rooms which are a perfect square or rectangle allow sound to reflect off walls and remain on a continuous path. This leads to the accumulation of certain frequencies in certain areas. An asymmetrical room will allow sound to bounce all over the place without building up.   The materials of the room will determine how easy it is for the sound waves ... Read More

Reading Music for Beginners: Rhythm and The Staff

...from the sheet of music.   Say and Play In my college Intro to Psychology class, there was a helpful section about the learning process. It delved into human behaviors centered around learning, and it taught us how to better prepare for tests. Something I learned in this class is that doing one act in different ways helps the brain to retain information. This is why talking notes rather than just listening helps us to memorize information. I recommend saying each note out loud as you play when learning a new piece of music. When you see a note, play it, ... Read More

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.
