Instruments: Piano
I am very positive about teaching my students. I have the knowledge to teach about the theory, technique and flow of the music up through the intermediate level. I don't necessarily stay with the music until it is perfect, because as the student learns more they can always come back to it and play it better. I do encourage my students to perform pieces they are doing well with, it's always fun to play for a small group and share each others gifts. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I've been playing piano for 45 years, and have taken private lessons a total of 15 years with three different teachers. Music is my passion, and so is teaching, so it brings me a lot of joy to share this with my students. Music has taken me down many avenues in my life, starting at a young age. My family are all musicians, so it has been a constant in my life. At one point I played for church, and as a teenager I played for a ballet class. Like I mentioned before, I've done many weddings and funerals, and look for any opportunity to play piano. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
Hello! I have enjoyed teaching children, competing, accompanying for universities, studying music theory, playing for weddings and nursing homes, and playing at my church for the past eleven years. My piano experience spans over 20 years now, having included exciting opportunities such as the 2016 New Years jazz concert in London at Codagen Hall (Queen Elizabeth wrote everyone a letter thanking them for helping with the celebration!). These past several years have taught me that teaching is an entirely different privilege, skill, and joy to me as I grow in my musicianship alongside my students. Read More

Hello! My name is Jakob and I have been teaching children and adults for over 10 years to love playing music. My focus is on making music fun and easy for my students first and foremost, and then working on making music a growing passion or a refined practice, depending on my students needs. I provide organic, communicative and intelligent lessons and plans to push my students to set the best goals to accomplish their musical ideas and dreams. Read More

I start by gathering information about a student's goals and inspirations, and prior knowledge/experience. From there, we develop a plan for warmup exercises, technical exercises, literature, sight-reading, ear-training and listening excerpts to be studied. I determine whether the student needs to begin learning primarily by ear or using some kind of written notation. We find a schedule that will work with both of us. Most students have a regular weekly time, but some students need a variable time due to their individual schedule so we work that out in advance. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Clarinet Drums Euphonium Tuba Orchestral Percussion
My performance experience has taken me to many wonderful places--College bowl games and the NCAA Tournaments to international hotspots such as Bogota, Columbia and even as far away as China. I have also been fortunate enough to perform with musical icons such as Doc Severinson, Mariachi Cobre, Byron Stripling, John Fedchock, Bobby Shew, Five by Design, Club Swing, the Harry James Orchestra, Andre Williams, and notable groups such as the Las Cruces Symphony Orchestra, Phil Campo and the "Loose Change" Jazz band, the Salt Lake Alternative Jazz Orchestra, and many others.

Instruments: Piano Keyboard
Along with a strong background of fundamentals found in Faber's Adventures, Burnam's Step By Step, and Snell's Repertoire, I help students from five to nine with personal selections based on interest. Examples would be Disney songs (Aladdin, Beauty and The Beast), Gospel and Religious (Jesus Loves Me, the Dreydl song), or superheroes (Spiderman). Ten to 14-year olds have used favorites from around the world -(everything from Greensleeves to Malaguena, In the Hall of the Mountain King and more superheroes like Batman and Iron Man), plus classics by Beethoven and Bach.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I would suggest that students start out practicing for a short period a few times a week (3 or 4 times is a good start), then gradually expand the length of the practice time as they advance and can play more music. For example, a half-hour 3 times a week is a good start. It also depends on the age of the student because the older the student is, the longer attention span they will possess for practicing. When I first started learning drumset, I would practice for a half-hour 3 times a week. Two years later, I was practicing for an hour a day 4 or 5 times a week. After I had been playing for 3 or 4 years, I would practice anywhere from 2 to 4 hours a day and normally every other day. Students NEED to practice every week else they will normally not see much progress over a period of time.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I think before anything, your child should have a genuine interest in music. If they do not, there is no point in wasting their time and your money because they might take lessons at first but later they will not continue with it. If your child loves learning and can retain information, they should definitely be ready to take lessons. If they can manage to maintain attentiveness for at least a half hour, they should be ready. Of course, a good teacher will work to help them maintain their attentiveness!
When will I start to see results?
This depends on a number of factors: the student's level of motivation, the amount of work they put into practicing, and the amount and length of the lessons they take. The more they can retain information and hold interest, the faster the results you will see, and it could take as little as a couple of weeks. As far as seeing results for learning the basics, I would say on average, a couple of months to a year should be enough time for the student to successfully learn the basics for their instrument. However, it could take them less time, depending again on the student. Also, if the student has already taken music lessons before, that will help expedite their progress because they will already have some knowledge of basic concepts like rhythm and melody.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My teachers were always wonderful, but my own motivation ultimately led me to continue learning and playing music, at least as far as drumming is concerned. I was mostly inspired by the musicians I listened to and admired like Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, and Bill Bruford. When it came to piano, there was one teacher in college who inspired me to want to advance my level of piano performance. My music history teacher played a sonatina by Scarlatti in class one day and later performed a whole piano concerto by memory at a school concert, which blew my mind. I was amazed at her level of memory because at most concerts I've been to, the pianist has always performed with sheet music.
