Nash R

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet

I have calm but firm teaching style, allowing students to progress at their own pace, but not afraid to push them when they need to. I always make sure they completely understand all that I ask, and listen to their comments and problems they wish to address. I am always happy to teach what they want to learn, but also encourage to learn other forms, styles, and genres of music that they're not familiar with. Read More

Angelique P

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

No matter the age, i think it's always important to find out what genres of music the student enjoys. This is because they will most likely stay engaged and develop a passion for pieces they find enjoyable. For beginners, I start with the Michael Aaron Piano Course books. Technique such as finger placement, body mechanics, and scales are interwoven to increase proficiency. For adults, I will ask about their ability level and if other instruments have been played in the past. Read More

Kim H

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Double Bass Acoustic Guitar

When beginning teaching I typically assess the learners general attention span, natural strengths, and what is motivating for them. I complete a beginner piano assessment to find out how the learner is with pattern recognition, any previous knowledge they may have, and what type of instruction they respond best to. When I understand the learners least restrictive environment I will choose the type of notation we start with. This can be traditional sheet music, pop chords, or adapted notation that may consist of numbers, letters, and/or colors. Read More

Jeffrey M

Instruments: Drums

I have over 7 years of experience teaching all ages and skill levels. I teach based upon the learning style of the student. I want your lessons to be fun and motivating. After all, to learn an instrument takes discipline. If you're not inspired, you can't learn as well. I encourage my students to play in bands and get involved with the local music scene. I am always looking to bring on new students who are excited to learn about this awesome instrument. 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.
