David S

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Double Bass Music Acoustic Guitar

I began teaching guitar and electric bass when I myself was in high school and have continued to teach over the years ever since. I've taught everyone from pre-teens to retirees and have done my best to instill a sense of discipline and an understanding of the role of both instruments in the rhythm section. My aim in teaching is to prepare my students for real-world scenarios, with an emphasis on how to "lock in" with other musicians. Read More

Jonathon S

Instruments: Piano Voice

I am a teacher who is passionate about helping students learn and discover their talent for music. I graduated from Capital University with a Music Education degree and have been teaching music in Columbus City Schools for almost ten years. My philosophy centers on the fact that every student no matter of age or experience, can learn and grow. I've sung and played piano at various venues and events and have even served at a church leading and planning the music ministry. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Djembe Acoustic Guitar

My intention is to make learning to play the guitar fun. Motivating students to practice brings me joy because I know starting out is tough. Teaching others comes effortlessly to me because I'm doing what I love. With 15 years of experience as a musician, you can feel confident in my ability to provide a quality service. I have worked at other music bussinesses as an instructor where quality standards were in place. Read More

Will E

Instruments: Voice

For all students, I begin with classical fundamentals such as body alignment, breath support, and resonance and moving to topics including diction, vocal health, interpretation, and stage presence. I will work with the student to find repertoire that will best fit their voice, help achieve their musical goals, and be aligned with what they enjoy musically. I would love to find opportunities for students to perform their repertoire and show what they have learned whether that is a private recital for family and friends or a voice competition. Read More

Joseph K

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I'm a 20 college student majoring at finance but with a passion for guitar. I've been playing since I was ten years old and teaching since I was 17. I've had great success with the students who truly want to learn and have found it to be less and less challenging to get the students passionate about playing as well. This is the key in practicing and I feel that many teachers overlook that fact. Read More

Forest S

Instruments: Guitar Lap Steel Guitar Mandolin

I started playing guitar when I was 12. At first, I wanted to play the rock I heard on the radio (who remembers 96.5 The Mountain???), but as I grew older my interests also grew. I dug into classic rock, then blues and jazz. I also grew more interested in the folk music my dad always played in the car when I was a kid. I studied music composition and classical guitar in college. Read More

Will T

Instruments: Voice Flute Recorder Piccolo

My teaching began in the late 1990's as professional musician in the United States Marine Corps teaching new Marine Musicians how to double & triple tongue and play minor scales as well as Greek Modes.I enjoyed the challenge of teaching someone a skill or technique. My reward is watching the lightbulb come on and them master the new skill.   I have played professionally for over 15 years and taught flautists during this time. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Brandon K

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I have been gigging since high school when I used to lead worship (acoustic guitar/vocals) for several county wide events that drew hundreds of students from youth groups that crossed denominational backgrounds. During that time (late high school, early college) I also performed on the alto saxophone at a inner city youth group in the gospel/funk/R&B style. There was no music. Everything was by ear and I played most often in the keys of F#, B, C#, E, G and D. The leader said I could show up anytime, even in the middle of the set, open my case and walk on stage. It was a very unique experience that fit the carefree part of my personality.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Saxophonists generally have a societal expectation to be more versatile than any other instrument. By being more versatile I mean we are expected to play both classical and jazz with equal conviction and double on flute and clarinet within classical and jazz with equal conviction. This is very difficult. The saxophone is not part of the orchestra so we frequently get a wide array of opportunities which requires the performer to be versatile in ability and equipment set up.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Last year at Parkhill Junior High in Richardson ISD, Dallas, TX; I had one student win the first alto chair in the all-region wind ensemble Another student (8th grade) placed second in the district wide concerto competition I have had 3-5 other students make the all region bands as well in the last year.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Manhattan Music competition Gold medal Protege Concerto Competition First Prize Being selected as 1 of 2 top saxophonists in the University of North Texas concerto competition 3 years in a row Being able to tour around the world as a musician aboard Cunard and Holland America ships

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My grandfather led his jazz band "Fred Kelley and the Saratogans" in the mid 1930's performing alto saxophone, baritone saxophone, flute and clarinet. My mother loved jazz and my uncle is an incredible jazz pianist with a natural ear and dexterity for performance.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
see answers in "My Teaching Style" Becoming aware of our emotions and physical body during practice is essential to managing our sentiments and ultimately how we feel about playing.

When will I start to see results?
If you follow instruction and practice techniques you should see results immediately, but at the very least within 4 lessons. It really depends on the sentiment and focus that someone exudes during their practice sessions.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first saxophone teacher was Dr. Roger Eckers (Eastman) who is an incredible musician, jazz player and woodwind doubler. He was my band director and performed on the weekends with his groups. My jazz band director was Rich Thompson who is still the drum set professor at the Eastman School of Music. Dr. Steven Mauk (Ithaca), Dr. Lin (Eastman), Dr. Eric Nestler (University of North Texas) and Nancy Boone are other teachers that have inspired me.

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.
