Instruments:
Guitar: For children, I begin with simple folk songs to teach them chords and strums. From there, we progress to picking patterns. For teens and adults, I use both folk songs and easy pop music. For both age groups, I encourage note reading and some classical work. For classical guitar, I use technique books by Aaron Shearer. Voice: I put a great deal of focus on breathing, open throat and support. I pick repertoire that facilitates the learning of these skills, including folk songs, musical theatre, opera and art song. I use music in English, Italian, French and German, and I incorporate the works of numerous different composers and eras. I have been strongly influenced by Lamperti technique.
Instruments:
The first half of each of my lessons will address the basics of music theory (i.e. rudiments, scales, etc.) and technique. The second half of each lesson is about having fun! We will dig deeper into the music my student is interested in, considering the songs from a musician's point of view. In dissecting the song we will learn about phrasing, feel, meter, melody, chord analysis, commonalities among styles and the history behind the music. Each lesson is individualized and I develop my curriculum based on the student's needs and interests.
Instruments:
Teaching guitar has become one of the great joys of my life. I really enjoy meeting people of all different ages and backgrounds, and helping them to discover how music will fit in their lives. I have no preference on a students goals, and am completely fine teaching beginners, casual players, or students who would like a more serious approach. I prepare lesson plans for each of my students and I try hard to keep the curriculum fun and relative to the students interest. All of my students are also welcome to particapate in the student recitals I hold twice a year, although these are not manditory. Music has helped guide me through most of my life, and given me some of my greatest experiences. I even met my wife at a show! I am passionate about helping others to make music a part of their life!
Instruments:
I am a guitarist based out of the Seattle area and my specialty is in vocal jazz accompaniment. I graduated from the University of Southern California in August of 2015 with a BA in Music with Cum Laude Honors. I pride myself in being a supportive and unselfish musician and accompanist, having nearly a decade of experience performing jazz in both the Seattle and Los Angeles areas. I am an accompanist at Cornish College of the Arts in the Jazz Voice Department, accompanying students in lessons and classes taught by both Kelly Ash and Johnaye Kendrick. I currently maintain a busy schedule accompanying jazz vocalists throughout the Seattle area as it is something that I take much pride in and am very passionate about!
Instruments:
I'm a patient, energetic, understanding, highly-motivated teacher who loves training people to accomplish their musical goals. I teach from the experience of a songwriter and performer, someone who started off as an ear-based, self-taught guitarist and has worked his way up to to a BA in Composition, recorded and released music for three Seattle rock bands, and performs regularly. This diverse background makes me relatiable to students with all different learning styles, interests, and skill sets. It's very important to me for my students to not just know one thing, but to look at music from every possible angle, to become well-rounded, intriguingly cool musicians.
