Taylor S

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My methods, of course, depend on the student but I usually start using the same materials that I started with. That combined with other curricula such as Rock School and others, I am able to identify which path will be best for the student. Teaching the student one of their favorite songs towards the beginning always helps the student get the fire and passion they need to become a guitar master. Read More

Ben M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Trombone Clarinet Synthesizer Ukulele Recorder Euphonium Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I have been a music teacher since my college days working with kids in a university program, as well as being a TA and teaching adults. I have had students in my own studio off and on when I haven't been performing or being a music director and elementary school teacher. I try to meet students where they are whether it's a beginner or even someone who considers themselves tone deaf and to encourage them to honestly try, give it a real go. Read More

James H

Instruments: Piano Guitar Classical Guitar

We start with fundamentals of music theory, ear training, and composition. We find the songs and styles you want to learn and then make them make sense, through small assignments, that build into the finished product. If you can see the shapes on the guitar and subdivide the beat into equal parts, we can start to play the tunes you like. I a do not believe in slow progress. i believe you can learn and improve consistently, while having fun. Read More

Bonnie C

Instruments: Guitar Banjo Ukulele Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I am kind, patient and knowledgable . I have over 30 years of experience with youth through seniors and love every minute of sharing music with my students. Music theory, chord building, note reading,rhythm studies and improvisation skills are part of every lesson. Even though I specialize in Classical Guitar I enjoy teaching pop, folk, jazz, blues, country and more. I do teach note reading but I also encourage the use of tab as a tool for learning. Read More

Ruben M

Instruments: Guitar

With young students, I allow myself to be a bit more comprehensive in that I can start from the very basics from the beginning and even come up with simple games with rhythm, basic ear training and reading notation. The big challenge with young players is the actual act of physically playing the guitar and I encourage parents to invest in a quality instrument that is easy to play. I try and get my older children and teenagers to try and play as early as possible to develop a passion for the instrument, but not before building an understanding of the basics. Read More

Alexis E

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin

I began teaching lessons while workibg on my Master's degree. While tutoring a classmate on guitar, I realized that I really enjoyed teaching and decided to pursue more students. My music therapy training gives me a unique approach to education enabling me to tailor all of my students lessons to their personal goals and needs. I enjoy teaching a variety of styles, from classical to contemporary, as well as giving my students performance opportunities to really be able to challenge themselves. Read More

Gerry D

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

I write all my own lesson materials focusing on what the student needs to know to play, understand, and enjoy music to achieve their goals. I have used several method books in the past but find them all limited or focused on styles or technique that is not what the student wants or needs to learn. I can teach from any established method if that is preferred, but instead enjoy challenging the student to understand what music is and how music is played on their chosen instrument, not just to read.

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.

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.
