Instruments:
My name is Gary and teaching and performing music is my life! I have a wonderful family that loans me out for my music. My wife's name is Sandy and she works for a vet and I have three great children.
Instruments:
Dr. Charles utilizes the best approach for students musical achievement. During his daily public service job, Dr. Charles teaches students ranging from ages 7-18. With this in mind, the best method is a method that allow students to grow musically while thinking critically.
Instruments:
I listen to the student's music selections. While he/she plays, I observe him/her how this student is adapting to the instrument. After his/her performance, I offer constructive criticism pointing out steps to adapt himself/herself to the instrument. I also encourage and push for attentive listening for tone quality. This is very important no matter the level of students.
Instruments:
For beginning students, I start with the traditional Mel Bay beginner books that focus on the fundamentals while building strength and coordination and just build from there. For students with a little more experience, I like to focus on more challenging exercises and concepts while nurturing their knowledge of music theory and performance. Each student is different and knowing what motivates them motivates me. My goal is to have them want to pick up their instrument and play.
Instruments:
At the most basic level, I like to introduce younger students to simple sight reading and rhythm/time signature to get their feet wet; and use a variety of book, specifically chosen for that particular student's pace and age. If a little older, we still go over the basics of timing, and we go over learning all the basic open chords, Pentatonic and Blues scales, and start on a simple or simplified version of songs they like. We build from there. For my intermediate students, we work on music styles/songs that they like, that are both well paced and challenging enough to help them grow. I l also like to get them started on various exercises to build up their technique. For my advanced students, we focus mainly on advanced technique, theory, and developing songwriting and arranging skills.
