Tennie S

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

For my younger piano students, I am a fan of the Faber and Faber piano books. The method books applies to my philosphy of teaching rhythm in syllables (ta, ti-ti, etc.) and found success with all my students in their abilty to read notes and play well. I also love their arrangements on their jazz, rock and roll, and popular series. I also try to include composition in their learning to make it fun and challenging. Read More

My teaching philosophy revolves around one core principle: the joy of musical growth. While technical proficiency is essential, my main goal is to ensure that every student relishes the journey of becoming a better musician.

I emphasize your unique musical taste in my teaching approach because I understand that your personal connection to the material is a powerful motivator. Read More

Mitchell G

Instruments: Trumpet Music

Teaching has been a regular part of my life since my undergraduate days. At the University of Idaho, I had the opportunity to be a Learning Assistant for freshman music theory, aural skills, and jazz theory; a position that involved more actual teaching than the typical teaching assistantship. At this time, I also ran a private studio with around a dozen trumpet students. As part of my music education degree, I completed my student teaching at the high school level and find extreme joy from teaching groups of students. Read More

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students progress throughout lessons, and to see them get as excited about it as I do! I tailor lessons to each individual student by focusing on the areas of which they would like to improve. I help students achieve their goals by giving them specific assignments for the following lesson. While working on these goals, I keep things light by using analogies that reference daily life, and are sometimes comical. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Marlon M

Instruments: Double Bass

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was very young, my parents played recordings of musicians in different musical settings, and I was hearing the double bass without knowing what the instrument was called. I heard an orchestral performance and the booming pizzicato and warm arco textures resonated with me. Then I heard a bassist plucking in a big-band jazz setting, and the intense drive and pulse felt so danceable to me. I couldn't help but find out what the instrument was that I was hearing. I found out via a UK Eye Witness encyclopedia that that instrument was the double bass. I was so determined to touch one in person. When my father surprised me with a rental bass to pluck, I was ecstatic and that sensation stayed with me all this time. The bass is essential because it functions as the time-keeper and harmonic foundation of a group.

When will I start to see results?
You will begin to see results when the student becomes driven to reach his/her goal established. The student has to take responsibility for the sound he/she is going for, and to work it out in practice. Results happen when the student takes time out to practice diligently and frequently. When a student relates musical activity to other areas of their lives, they begin to develop a relationship with music/their instrument, and this motivates them to discover more about what they can do on their instrument.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
-I find it's the material that I don't know how to play, that requires the most practicing. Don't spend too much time practicing the things you already know how to play. It's the speed bump, or the train-wreck sections, that need to be dissected. -Breaking bad habits and reinforcing new positive habits is essential in the practice session. -A 15min practice session where you get desired results or learn something new, is far better than an hour practice session in which nothing is learned and bad habits are repeated. -Try the idea/technique you are working on, in various musical settings, and your brain begins to engrain the new information.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite style/genre of music to play is jazz. Jazz is a liberating way for me to fuse musical traditions with inventive discovery. Jazz musicians 'compose' on the spot, using the sounds and ideas from within and/or around them, to create a one-time-only experience. I find myself to be most creative when I'm improvising music. In that setting I'm free to choose the musical sounds and personal expressions I want to choose at any given time. I also find that jazz is such a broad kind of music. Not only does jazz come from specific traditions, but it embraces any style of music globally, especially in our time. There's a larger palette of influences to channel into my playing.
