Anitra B

Instruments: Piano Voice

Every week (or every lesson) the student will receive a sheet called Lesson Notes, which will account for the concepts and music covered in our lesson.I recommend that each student record lessons if possible for retention of technical tools covered. Listening to the lesson afterward will help the student better understand the concepts he/she is learning. I recommendpracticing a minimum of 30 minutes each day. This is very important for our learning time to be effective and comprehensive. Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin Drums

To be successful at an instrument, it's important for a student to have something that drives their motivation. Playing an instrument is fun, but is also a lot of work and takes practice, perseverance, and patience. I strive to make lessons fun and to help the student find what encourages them to persevere. Music is a language: you must learn to speak, listen to, read and write a language to be fluent. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I’ve been teaching people music ever since college. Tutoring was a way to help pay the bills. It also gave me the chance to digest my knowledge outside of the classroom. My teaching methods vary for each student. Not everyone learns the same way. I design my lessons to compliment my student’s learning habits! However, I always provide a blend of classical and modern theory for each student, because I think it helps students become well rounded. Read More

Barbara F

Instruments: Piano Ukulele

I also have been a music director of a church, where I performed classical music, hymns, and choir music for several years. I moved to Kyle in 2017, where I had a group of 14-16 students until the Covid-19 pandemic shut down my studio. I am now wanted to start teaching again, while being careful to maintain a healthy climate in the studio. I am currently the pianist at a local United Methodist Church and started teaching one student recently. Read More

Timothy J

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard

I have been teaching musicians of all ages and levels ever since my first year of undergraduate in 2016. I have been contracted every summer since then by Summer Sonatina, a piano camp in Bennington, VT, to teach five to six 45 minute lessons a day. While I do teach at all levels, I tend to gravitate more towards serious intermediate-advanced students. I am a classical pianist, but am able to teach any and all styles involving piano or any other keyboard instruments. Read More

Rebekah C

Instruments: Piano Voice Acoustic Guitar

I love teaching music! But, what's more, I throughly enjoy sharing the gift of music with my students. I believe that passion fuels action. If I want my students to be actively engaged in the learning process. I have to do my part as the teacher and involve the student in the music choosing process, before I can involve them in the music making process. If my students are clearly not passionate about the song that we are working on together in lessons. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience didn't really begin until a few years ago. I began "shadowing" other teachers that I knew who founded The Music Bus Rocks, a local business that focuses on teaching young musicians-to-be, and I immediately became hooked with the process of teaching something that I loved. My experience has mostly been with kids and young adults, but I always believe that no one is too old to learn an instrument. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Well yes, it was my first band director. Granted that I had already chosen to be in band as an elective in middle school, I had never really played an instrument before and my musical knowledge was practically nonexistent. But his approach towards teaching was simple enough for me to make the connection between learning how to properly hold my instrument and obtain a decent tone from it all while learning to read music. But my first band teacher also provided time during lunch and after school in which to practice, and whenever available, he would help with my intonation, articulation, breathing skills, and even dynamics (volume) and this encouraged me to keep practicing which only results in an upward-spiral of skill building! towards continued musical progress!

When will I start to see results?
I focus on making goals--set an objective for each day! Instead of time being the measure of effort, set a goal for both skills and performance! For example, one needs to practice exercises just to maintain current skills...so include this in your regular practice repertoire and focus on HOW to play them properly. But focus on a song...break the piece down into sections (if it is a whole page or longer in length) and focus on individual measures at a time. With each attempt, determine what errors are occurring and WHY--then, by process of deduction, you will rule out mistakes and improve your odds of accuracy until you are so familiar with WHAT to do that you can play this properly 10 times out of 10! Thus, every practice session should yield results...each session is one small building block towards successful performance of a song and mastery of your instrument!

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I have students as young as 3 and some of my students have special needs. However, you certainly know your child better than I do: What is their temperament like? I have but one rule: You have to WANT this...if this musical interest is not made a desired priority ahead of perhaps other extra-curricular activities, then the student will not put outside practice into this and it will become a downward-spiral. Vice-versa, with my positive energy and enthusiasm, I can keep any willing student engaged for a 30-minute, 45-minute, or even 1 to 1.5 hour session.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Find a place where you can focus and pick a routine time in order to develop the habit of regular practice. Instead of practicing for a designated amount of time, make a goal (e.g., Today I am going to work on this song, and I will finish when I can play it correctly 10 times out of 10 attempts!) If the song is multiple pages in length, then focus on just one section of it per day and break it down into measures. Various exercises such as scales and other rudiments need to be practiced in order to maintain skills. But always make time (even if it's just 5 minutes) for playing just for fun! I strongly encourage this!

Writing Guitar Riffs

...to provide predictable and structured harmonic content. Listeners almost always remember riffs but rarely remember chord progressions. Riffs can be played on the electric and acoustic guitars as well as the bass guitar.   Like so many other things in popular music, writing guitar riffs is an aspect of songwriting in popular music that grew out of the blues music tradition in America at the turn of the 20th century. Early blues riffs were written to match the phrasing and character of the human voice. Simple guitar licks that repeated over and over again laid the foundation for heavier and more intricate guitar lines... Read More

...later post- while the bass drum simply plays ‘four on the floor’ (unlike a true bossa nova, which has a more complicated pattern in the bass). Note that while the other beats presented here have been single measure ones, this is a two measure pattern. Leave a comment if you recognize what famous song this one is from! (hint: it’s an ode to a star of early horror film, a pretty unlikely place for a Brazilian beat)   So as you can see, there is a lot still to work with, even within the limited framework of basic rock drum beats we’ve been using so far.

...signal chain. Microphones and Preamplifiers Microphones produce very small electrical impulses which need to be amplified in order to process, hear, and record. This is done with the use of microphone pre-amps. Pre-amplifiers can be analog or digital, and they can be individual units or integrated into a recording device or mixing soundboard.   Once the signal is large enough to work with, it will typically travel through some effects processing units. There are many different types of effects that are used for all different instruments, styles, and situations, but many of the most popular and simple ones are applied ... Read More

Belt Mix Untangled: A 5-Step Guide

...sense of good, natural posture in the body. In order to achieve the best results when you are singing, your body should feel as free and uninhibited as possible.   Set up your breath—take a few large, slow inhales and exhales (keeping the shoulders and neck relaxed!) to get the breath going. A little trick I like to use when setting up my breath is to imagine the origin of my inhale in the bottoms of my feet, and then I inhale up through my legs, torso, spine, and out the top of my head before exhaling completely. Breaths that start low in the body and helps ground ... Read More

Setting Up a Drum Set

...height- some like to sit high, some low- so I’ll give my opinion based on my experience. I believe that the optimal height allows your knees to be directly over your ankles when placed on the pedals, with your thighs more or less parallel to the floor. This allows you to center your gravity on the throne, resulting in all your limbs being free to move independently. From this point, you may need to readjust your snare and floor tom heights based on the aforementioned rim-shot principle.   Hope this has helped you in setting up your drum set; here’s wishing you happy and safe ...

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.
