Marie H

Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard

I am passionate and hard-working. A great deal of my free time is spent recording and producing music. I enjoy watching my students grow as much as I enjoy finding new ways of growing and learning myself. I am often most inspired by the raw and vulnerable, simple and yet hear-wrenching melodies I come across. Moments as a listener, when a melodic theme takes over and everything else seems to dim out, almost as background noise, are my absolute farovite. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Banjo Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I work to determine how best you learn, and then we move in your direction. I am left-handed and have learned to accommodate as well as individuate. My idea about life is that anything a person wants to learn CAN be taught. What is required? A deep desire and patience. But there is nothing as exciting as playing an instrument! Or learning to sing, and feeling the power that comes when you express yourself. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar

I teach to inspire fun and love in music and to give the student a sense of accomplishment in their progress. Once I know the student I can cater the teaching style to their individual needs. In my experience, a young student must see results, they need to know they aren't treading water, so I believe it's imperative to keep the student engaged and fully aware of how they're progressing.

I have an interactive yet focused style of teaching. I can(but don't recommend) to use the Suzuki method. I feel that all aspects related to the instruments weigh much importance in teaching the student. However, with the Suzuki method, the student's primary focus is to learn pieces rapidly and climb the level of difficulty as fast as possible. This prevents him/her to fully understand and analyze the piece and lesson and it can also turn the student away from pursuing the instrument further.  Read More

Instruments: Piano Bass Guitar

I can be a more laid-back teacher, but this is only if I see that the student has been practicing has been paying attention to the feedback and is taking it in as criticism and not personal. If there is a lack of progression, then we have to communicate what is restricting them or getting in the way of them practicing so we can move along and make them a better player. Read More

Carina L

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Music Acoustic Guitar

The best award for the teacher is seeing his student develops his own talent. And I'm sure that every one is talented and the only question is how it talent will be enriched and developed. I encourage my student being their true self in performing, feeding from traditional and modern sources but keeping his own unique voice or playing style, accomplishing his personal goals, without comparing his own dynamics and results with other people, but working on becoming better than himself every day of learning.

Teacher In Spotlight

Matthew J

Instruments: Piano Voice

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Music has taken me to Canada, Mexico, Holland, France, Ireland, Costa Rica and every state in America except Hawaii. I've toured with Reggae legends, Culture and The Itals, have played with The Slackers and Frankie Paul. I've recorded at Daptone Records in Brooklyn, where Amy Winehouse and Sharon Jones made their mark, and at Westlake studios in Hollywood where Thriller and Off The Wall and many other hit records were recorded, as well as at Arlyn Studios in Austin. It has also been my distinct pleasure to be a founding member of The Man Man Chaplains, an Austin institution in which many great local musicians have performed. We have held the longest standing residency in Austin as the house band at Flamingo Cantina since 2007.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Rhythmic independence is probably the most difficult skill to master on piano. The best feeling and greatest sign of mastery on a keyboard, at least for me, is the ability to play 2 rhythmically independent parts while singing. The piano is the greatest instrument for expressing a complete composition without accompaniment. It takes clarity of mind, familiarity with the instrument, a natural feel for time in order to accomplish it, but the feeling is remarkably rewarding. Only the piano allows this sort of rhythmic independence. All other instruments are either monophonic or require both hands to play a single rhythm part.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For very young children I recommend The Yamaha method. Its the method I used to learn at age 5 and it inspired me to play each day from the age of 5 until I was 13 years old, at which point The Yamaha method facilitated my easily moving from piano to saxophone. For teaching adults and working professionals I prefer less strict, more fluid methodology. I would be more inclined to skip the strict teachings of theory and focus more on the verbal and written shorthand more commonly employed by working musicians today.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
While I'm grateful for my classical music education, I am a student of contemporary American music and the building blocks of American music are The Blues. The blues inform our chord progressions, melodies, scales, solos and improvisational themes. Jazz, Pop, Swing, Soul, R&B, Rock n' Roll, Country and even Roots Reggae are made up entirely of the music brought from the rural American Southeast to New Orleans and Chicago by Lightnin' Hopkins, Sonny Terry and Brownie Mcghee, Woody Guthrie, Jimmie Rogers and others. The most useful tools with which one can equip an American musician today are the tools taught to us by the blues.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My mother played piano and taught ballet when I was a child. She made sure I took up piano and practice daily. My Father played clarinet as a child, then became a guitarist. In college he and his lifelong musical collaborator performed as a blues and folk duo in New York and Massachusetts before returning to Texas. After moving to Austin in the 70s, hehad the House Band at The Armadillos, Balcones Fault. They performed each night that there was no touring headliner and opened for headliners of all kinds, including Jerry Garcia Band, Jimmy Cliff, Frank Zappa and many more.

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.
