Samuel L

Instruments: Trumpet

I'm a passionate trumpet instructor who, more than anything, enjoys teaching others and spreading the greatness of music. In 2021, I graduated from Clovis West High School with the desire to become a music teacher and more specifically to teach trumpet lessons. I am currently attending Clovis Community College and plan on transferring to Fresno State to pursue a degree in music education. Also at this time, I have the pleasure to perform in the Fresno Community Band and be a part of the musical fraternity Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia. Read More

Lia M

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer Keyboard

Say a student likes to do RB. Introduce them to early blues. Say another student likes rock or metal. Introduce them to different classical methods that would make their tone sound even better. Musicians like Pat Benatar and Geoff Tate (Queensryche) started out classically trained, but it made a huge difference in their tone quality and vowel structuring. If a student wishes to learn from em, they will have a lot of fun, but they will also work hard. Read More

My passion since I was 5 is violin music. I love playing, listening and teaching how to play the violin. I was the first student of Aaron Rosand at The Curtis Institute of Music, and studied the violin with Ivan Galamian at Meadowmount, and Piotr Janowski at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, among others. I was a finalist in 3 national violin competitions and winner of 3 Wisconsin state competitions. I have soloed with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, Oshkosh Symphony Orchestra, and Fox Valley Orchestra. Read More

Michael B

Instruments: Bass Guitar

I have been working for Fresno Unified for over a year and love teaching students of all ages. There is a great feeling when you can see a student learn and grow and start to "get" it after lots of patience and practice. It goes for any subject, but when a student is struggling learning and instrument and something finally "clicks" it's a great feeling of accomplishment for all involved. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Justin F

Instruments: Lute

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Indeed, many of my students went on to win competitions such as the Young Talent Award, Classical Guitar Summit Championship and Musician of the Year (Junior College)

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Certification of Performance and Musical History - It is my life's passion indeed. As a player, I wanted to share music at recitals and small, quiet events.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I prefer to create individual lesson plans as students are all different-minded. However, I do enjoy old literature (1550-1770) about technique regarding Fretted Instruments. (Don't worry, you don't have to speak French or Italian - I will translate ?)

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I was very drawn to plucked Instruments my whole life, really. The Lute, my primary Instrument, is basically a time machine or window into another world of absolute grandiose and beauty. I was drawn to it's gentle and bell like quality. It just felt so true and mysterious.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
First, my practice plan of selected music. Then, a warm up that is based on the given music, both for left and right hand. From there, the music is addressed phrase by phrase as to create smaller pieces of music within the music.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
The natural love of the Music really compelled me to venture out to New areas. This is how I picked up the handful of Instruments that I try to play well.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Working on Instruments, no doubt. It's hard to imagine myself not involved in music at some capacity. Perhaps if I weren't a player, I'd want to make and repair.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have been fortunate to tour this beautiful country several times, playing in all states (aside from Alaska & Hawaii.) My accolades and monetary gains are very meaningless in the shadow of all the lovely people and country I encountered during those years.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I really love to play music from the Early Renaissance and Late Baroque with everything in between! It is beautiful and thoughtful music. The satisfaction of refining your interpretation is the greatest feeling.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I'd love to play Marco Dall'aquilla's 54th Ricercar (which I am practicing.) It is written just after the Medieval period, in the Phyrigian Mode - the mode of the soul.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My mentor and dear friend changed my life and view of music. His name is Andreas Martin, and he is the finest musician I know. Although I met him later in my career, it was as if I was renewed musically, setting off on a new journey to Ithaca!

When will I start to see results?
The results, provided the student utilizes the advice and directions given, May be seen nearly immediately. The first two lessons are meant to inspire and offer a clear, fun path to musical success.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Having a structure and interior vision of your goals is really important. Playing music appropriate for your level is key, and moving on when needed is sometimes hard to do. I believe this is where a tutor can be immensely helpful. In that regard, practice should be just that - practicing the necessary techniques, fundamentals and observing the correct hand postures are imperative.

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. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
