Instruments: Piano Oboe English Horn
I have over nine years of teaching experience. I have taught all age ranges, from three years old to adult. I have worked as a beginning band teaching assistant and was part of the Western Kentucky University Double Reed Pre-college training program. I received pedagogy training from Dr. Michele Fiala, Martin Schuring, and Dr. Donald Speer. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Mandolin Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I love to get students excited about playing the instrument. The basics are important to learn but it needs to be fun first! If you are a beginner, let me show you some easy ways to play along with your favorite songs and get you excited to hear yourself play! Once you get the excitement, you will want to pick up your instrument and practice every day. My philosophy is simple, it is better to play a small amount of time on a consistent basis than it is to practice once for an extended period. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Music
My name is Dr. Lance R., and I am a professor of music. I have a strong academic background in music, with a Bachelors and Masters in music performance, and a Ph.D in Music Theory. I offer private lessons online and in my home studio for my primary instrument, singing, plus piano and saxophone. I offer a comfortable learning environment for students of all levels, from those who have never sung, picked up a saxophone, or touched a piano in their lives, to active performers looking to reach that next level.

Instruments: Flute Recorder Piccolo
My teaching experience goes back to late high school - early college days. My love for the flute dates back to middle school when I was in band and the flute teacher said i should play clarinet or another woodwind instrument and I was adamant about playing flute. I got lessons and continued to work hard. Over the years my band directors and flute instructors noticed I was improving which helped my confidence. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I like to use a fundamental approach so the student can read and play written music as well as learn to play by ear so they might actually get out of the classroom and into a band. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Synthesizer Recorder Electric Violin Fiddle Orchestral Percussion Music Keyboard
My goal is to create life-long learners, so you may always find time for practice and a place to perform great music! I provide private music instruction each week teaching lessons on a variety of instruments and have even served as a substitute teacher, as well as performing with various bands and ensembles over the years. I am originally from New York, where I lived until I was almost 7. I then lived approx. 7 years each in: Northern California, North Carolina, and Southern New Jersey respectively. Read More
Instruments: Drums
As far as music, I have them play out of the Essential Elements book for trumpet which has basic melodies in it which will allow them to focus on fingerings, articulations, and tone quality. In the lessons I make sure to model the proper trumpet sound so the student has a good reference to go off of. For my beginning drum set students I like to focus on their form and overall technique.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Legos. This simple child's toy is incredibly helpful for thinking about effective practice on the instrument. Let's say I want to learn a long and complicated run as part of a guitar solo. Instead of tackling the entire thing as a whole I think of it as a bunch of Legos. I learn 3-4 notes which is my first Lego and I get that down perfectly. Then I learn the next 3-4 notes and now I have two Legos that just like in real life I can snap together to make something bigger. I continue this process throughout the entire piece I want to learn. Learn individual Legos, work on seamlessly snapping them together to make bigger groups, and eventually you have the long and complicated run learned and ready to be played!!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I fell in love with the guitar at an early age as a vehicle for self-expression and an outlet for my artistic passions. There really is no other feeling like being able to make music on such an amazing and beautiful instrument!!
When will I start to see results?
"You get out of it what you put into it" as the saying goes so this is very much tied to the individual student and how much time and effort they put into making their guitar dream a reality. Hard work and diligence will always yield great rewards and the guitar is no exception!!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
The guitar teacher at the local music store in the mall was a huge influence even though I never took any lessons from him or even met him personally. I still remember watching in awe as he ran through some smoking hot pentatonic runs that blew my young mind though. He was definitely someone who made me say "I want to be able to do that!!" and now I can. Thank you for being awesome Mr. Guitar Teacher I don't know and much respect to you for the influence you had upon my young and impressionable self!!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Can they hold the guitar? This is the number one issue for starting young children on the instrument. I usually start lessons at 7 years old because physically that is when the majority of children will be able to hold the guitar. There are always exceptions in both directions and some young children will need a Half-Size guitar to get started. As long as they can get their fingers around the neck and hold the guitar up they should be good to go!!
