Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Accordion Ukulele Conga Latin Percussion Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I Try to get away from mechanism without joy. Everything has to be close to the music. Exercises to be actually doing them with a rhythm and time. Other than doing things musically, practicing in different times and intentions help a lot for the student to be open to play songs in different ways. Technique and theory are necessary tools. To apply concepts musically they need to do it with musical taste. Read More

Francis C

Instruments: Guitar Drums

Depending on the students' improvement, I work performance with harder songs and books. Reading is also a key aspect on my lessons. I also teach advanced double bass drumming for those who are interested. * For hobby drummers: I don't push that hard on technique and reading, but it's there. Minimal technique is important so you can have fun instead of struggling with the sticks and the kit. Also a song based system. Read More

Fernanda P

Instruments: Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I teach kids with Frederick Noad's Guitar Solo Playing and also I adopt the guitar curriculum created by Austin Classical Guitar. Both methods provide several pieces that the kid plays with the teacher. In this way, while the kids play simple notes/lines and start developing some skills (musical and technical), they are making beautiful music together with the teacher or other students. I worked as a teacher assistant using the Austin Guitar Curriculum at Adams Elementary School (St Louis), and the results were great. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style is focussed very much on what the student wishes to learn. Having a set guide pf progression is necessary but not when forced upon. My style involves exploring music together, understanding the thought process behind different pieces of music and applying concepts in fun innovative ways. I have also designed many musical games that are fun and help students remember things better. With every student I put together a custom lesson plan that is designed to show yardsticks and milestones for the student in how they are moving forward with their instrument. Read More

Eric B

Instruments: Guitar Drums Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I like to mix instructional books with opportunities to learn songs outside of the text books appropriate to the student's interests, style, and skill level. For the guitar, I like Terry Carter's Rock Like the Pros, Beginning Class Guitar Method and Intermediate Class Guitar Method. These books have comprehensive practice exercises, including classical and popular music exercises, and great songs of all levels to learn. The Mel Bay and Alfred music method books are also great for guitar or drums. Read More

...you don’t need to strum too hard. Brush the strings and try to recreate that bouncy feel that is a key component of the song.   The Fingerstyle Version of the Boom-Chicka Technique The thumb (or P) plays the bass note (boom) and the I-M fingers brush down and up on the higher three strings creating the chick-a. “Boom, chicka, chicka” is the feel that you’re aiming for.

Piano Chord Chart: Basic Chords and Intervals

...If you’re new to the piano, the idea of learning how to play chords might seem like a difficult task. To someone unfamiliar, the keys on a piano probably look strange, disjointed, and intimidating, but what you might not realize is that the structure of the keys on a piano represent the simple basic music theory concepts that govern every instrument in music. When a teacher teaches a guitar student about music theory, they have to look at the keys on a keyboard to learn about things like chords, scales, and intervals. We can learn how to play chords on the piano quite easily ... Read More

It can be extremely difficult for new piano students to actually read the music in their assigned pieces, so many try to memorize the music, and this can turn into a huge problem. On manuscript paper, write out one or two lines of a simple melody and have your ... Read More

Wonderwall Chords Guitar Tutorial

... Oasis’s mega-hit “Wonderwall” was written by Noel Gallagher in 1995. Though it didn’t win Best Rock Song at the Grammys that year, the song has proven to have incredible staying power and is still prevalent in popular culture today, over twenty years later. “Wonderwall” is a fantastic song for beginner guitar players to learn because its chord voicings and catchy strumming pattern are so satisfying. The song’s intro and verses begin with a 4-chord progression that has you keep your ring finger and pinky on the same notes for the entire section. The Wonderwall chords are found in thousands of other pop ... Read More

...grade level where instrumental or vocal ensemble is offered for the first time, the odds that they are going to choose to begin music instruction is much higher than otherwise. The peer pressures associated with (or against, for that matter) are strong in the middle school and high school years. However, if a student decides to pick up an instrument and give it a try, they are going to have to find some sort of motivation, whether intrinsic or extrinsic, to keep going. With that found motivation comes a certain level of self-discipline to keep going. By learning an instrument or ... 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. 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.
