Chia-Wei L

Instruments: Piano

I am a motivated and adaptable instructor, with patience to students. Since I had been playing piano accompanying at Peabody Preparatory for three years, I had observed multiple teaching styles with different instructors ( includes private lessons and group classes). The two most important things I found out is to help students explore their love in music and let them enjoy when they are playing their instruments. Also, setting goals and help them achieve their goals is an efficient way for learning piano. Read More

Cammeron W

Instruments: Piano Voice

Currently, the methods I use is based on the students ability to comprehend. I have created a series of teaching from various sources such as Alfred, Bastien, etc. I use a particular method based on the need of the student. I will teach the foundation of music such as scales, chords, sight reading and classical pieces. As the student progress, the student will learn different style of music such as gospel, jazz and pop.

Michael D

Instruments: Piano Trombone

Trombone: Practice, practice, practice! The trombone is an extremely unforgiving instrument and this is why the words practice need to be repeated many times every lesson. The student needs to understand that in order to get any enjoyment out of playing the trombone they need to practice regularly. Once the student has a regular practice schedule, then their sound will improve and they will enjoy playing. There can be almost no progress at all until the student finds regular practice time to work on their trombone exercises. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Cello Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Every lesson plan I make is customized to a student's interests, learning needs, and age. I combine a combination of technique focus and repertoire learning in each lesson. As students progress, their plans are updated to reflect their growth as a musician. I like to involve students directly in the goal planning process and keep them regularly updated about where they are on meeting their goals. Furthermore, teaching sustainable, healthy, and effective practice techniques is a core part of how I teach. Read More

Sun K

Instruments: Piano Voice

I teach breath support, vocal range expansion, resonance, tone placement, posture, proper diction, sight reading notes, ear training, releasing tension and stage performance. I can help my students improve technique for any genres of music they want with a focus on building a solid and healthy technique. For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Alfred’s piano book library Essential Elements. I recommend Alfred’s Prep course for age of 5 to 6 years old. Read More

Jairo C

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet French Horn Oboe Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I have been teaching in the NOVA area for a little over three years now. I started when I returned from out of state and have not looked back since. I have maintained a studio of about 10-15 students almost consistently after about a year of starting. My students have ranged widely in age, from elementary students to retired adults who have have wanted to learn an instrument. I am focused on both enjoying playing but also pushing students to their limits and making them much better. Read More

Gregory P

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Bass Guitar Organ Music Keyboard

Recently I was hired as piano instructor for Quartertonez Music, in Washington DC. Also, I have had experience teaching and studying music education under my high school mentor, renowned music teacher Tim Savage; I was his student-teacher for a semester course at St. Lawrence University. Additionally, throughout my experience as his music student, his teaching approach has infused music education and facilitation lessons within the musical instruction itself. My past teaching experience also includes being a Drill Instructor for the Italian Department at Vassar College for two years during my time as an undergrad (I not only "ran drills" for students who had already started learning the material, but also had to compensate in a variety of ways for the unsuccessful, dysfunctional, or half-hearted engagement that is typical in a foreign language class).

Shawn P

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Simple answer. PERFECT practice makes perfect. In other words if you don’t concentrate while you’re practicing it is near to a waste of time. 30 minutes of hard concentrated practice everyday would be better than fiddling around for two hours, not really paying attention to what your doing.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Well I would have to say that his or her interest has to be peaked. Any bit of interest is enough to give lessons a shot. Maybe they will stick with it maybe they won’t but it is worth getting some lessons if they show interest in an instrument.

When will I start to see results?
I would say it will take about two months to start seeing progression on the instrument. 6 months will be where the parent or parents will really start to “hear” the improvement.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I started music on my own when I was young. No specific person peaked my interest. Although later on I had teachers that taught me what it was like to be a professional musician, through they’re actions and advice.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The tone of the bass just really grabbed my attention. I don’t know exactly why. I just became attracted to the sound when I was young.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Mastering four instruments is my most proud achievement. Tours and other things are meaningless if I am not happy with the way I play when I put my head on the pillow at night.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I won the top bass scholarship at a prominent music school in LA.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Patience to do the boring technique work. Patience is still hard to master at times.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I collect from all those yes and more.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Anywhere from an hour to two hours of concentration technique work. Intertwined with songs or “riffs” that I have been working on.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a degree in bass theory. I chose this because bass is my fundamental instrument. The theory I then learned can be transferred to any instrument

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Claire De Lune on piano, I haven’t played it yet. It is my dream piece because it is my dads favorite song to play on piano.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be in some type of environment help career.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Funk if I have to choose. Just because the feel is so happy and light hearted.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I needed more melody and chords that he bass couldn’t give me.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My grandfather and father both play music. I grew up listening to my dad play piano. He was and is my biggest influence.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I was in my room playing bass late at night alone when I was about 14 and it hit me how quickly I was learning this thing. I knew it was what I was supposed to do.

Furthermore, rim-shots are impossible on such a steeply angled drum.   Toms that are positioned too high result in wasted energy and potential strain. Correcting this is pretty simple- just place them within the easiest reach that doesn’t result in steep angles, and where they do not come into physical contact with other elements of the drum set (which obviously would result in unwanted noise and wear).   Similarly, cymbals should be easily accessible- not too high (remember, conserve your energy- drummers need all they can get)- and additionally, should ...

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.
