Instruments:
I am a professional bass player who serves as a performer, educator and recording artist. I have worked with national acts as well as with my current indie/internationally recognized band, B Street Blues ®. My style is reflective of too many influences to name, but I love the blues, jazz, gospel, and grew up playing classic rock and metal during the 80’s. I attended U.Mass Lowell in the early 90’s and it was then that I cut my teeth with jazz and classical studies. Thereafter I completed a performance program at Berklee College of Music. Thanks to this, I have great ears and the ability to share what I have learned over the years.
Instruments:
She worked as a singer-piano player in Tokyo, Japan for over 10 years. Then she came to Boston for studying at Berklee college. After graduate Berklee at 1996, she started teaching as well as singing at various venues in Boston, New England area. Currently she teaches at the Rivers School Conservatory, Wellesley HS extension and her home studio as well as Musika students' houses.
Instruments:
My teaching style changes a bit depending on the student's age and experience. I find it very important to tailor the lessons to help reach the student's goals. With a lot of students I have found much success in teaching with song examples and forms. Rhythm and groove are topics that I stress while learning and playing songs as well.
Instruments:
I started teaching in College after seeing the benifit from teaching Music Education Students brass Technique. I feel the best teachers are constantly putting themselves into situations where they are students. I am always taking classes and learning new things in and around music. I taught myself 3 instruments this very way, and have been able to perform and teach these instruments very effectively.
Instruments:
I may use conventional method books or materials designed especially for you. Here are some areas I have the emphasis on. Sound; What does your voice sound like? What voice do you like to make through your saxophone? Listening; Listening is the area many teachers and students tend to overlook. However, listening is the essence of music. Repertoire; What tunes do you like to play? I can also suggest or select songs for you within your interest. Reading; Reading skill is very useful when you play with other musicians or you can't memorize a tune. Music notation is not very complicated. I will teach you how to read and write sheet music. Technic; The more technic you have, the more things you can play. Improvisation; Everyone can improvise. Let me help you to fly over music. Time; Steady time, variable time, rhythm Harmony; Why harmony? Even though saxophone is a monophonic (one pitch at a time) instrument, understand, listen, remember and forehear the harmony is also essential to have more fun out of music. Scales; Sounds boring? Wrong! It's actually fun to learn scales and use them. How? I will teach you in a comprehensive manner. Fun!; Let's have fun playing the saxophone!
