I have a lot of experience with curriculum development. My favorite books to teach from include Accent on Achievement, Alfred's Piano Book series and Essential Elements. However I can teach without a book on any instruments and compose assignments as I have done in the past. Even if I am teaching using a book, I usually do a lot of ear training and music theory based assignments that are not found in these books. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I love to see my students overcome challenges in music. My music teacher used to say, "nothing is hard, or difficult, just challenging." If students learn how to practice effectively on their own, learning new music becomes easier over time. I teach my students how to approach a certain rhythm, phrase, or fingering and the techniques to do so correctly such as by slowing down and practicing with a metronome, our muscle memory will be able to play it up to speed once it's learned.

William W

Instruments: Piano Organ

I began teaching in 2000. I was very fortunate to have had very qualified teachers throughout my career. When I was in college, I asked my professor, "How do you teach?" And his response was, "Teach as you have been taught." My teachers have included Donald Sutherland, Dame Gillian Weir, David Higgs, Corey McVicar, Carol Prochazka, and more. A few of my teachers trace their lineage from Leon Fleisher, to Schnabel, to Leschetizky, to Czerny, and finally to Beethoven! Read More

Instruments: Piano

I find each student's possibility. Some are good at reading music, but other are good at listening. Some have creativity to compose music and other are good at understanding what composers idea and perform music beautifully. Therefore I take different approach to each student. I discuss about their goal and set the goal with together with students. I explain what is the best way to achieve the goal. I instruct them clearly step by step and let them know what they have to do every day. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Effective practice goes beyond simple repetition. When you sit down to practice, start with something you enjoy playing {or singing} as part of your warm-up routine, then start your actual work. If you're starting a new piece, begin by looking through the music - take note of the rhythm, key signature, accidentals, etc., then slowly sight-read through the piece. Divide the piece into sections and take it one section at a time. When working on a section, play through it, then decide which chunks need the most focus - it can be as long as a phrase or as short as a measure or two, or even just a motive. Figure out what you can do to make that small section better, be it fingering changes, hands-separate practice, working with rhythms, etc. Eventually, you can piece the larger sections together and get something great!

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows a genuine interest in making music, they are ready. Depending on the age of your child, talk to them about starting lessons, and ask them questions, such as: How much time do they have to practice each day/week? Do they understand that it will take time and practice to become proficient? What are their musical goals? What kind of music do they want to learn? If they can answer some of these questions, they should be ready to succeed in music. A trial lesson is a great way for both the student and the teacher to determine if the student is ready.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I like to use the Bastien Piano Basics series for my young piano students, because it is what I primarily learned with. I also like the Piano Adventures series; over the past year or so I've become pretty familiar with the series, and it has a lot of good things to offer - the pacing and organization is great. For adults, the Alfred piano course is good, though depending on the capabilities of older students, I may just teach through repertoire. For very young students, adding a bit of the Kodaly method into the lessons helps as well - using folk songs/singing to teach musical concepts.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music definitely runs in my family. My mom's family is very large - there are 11 kids - and all of them sing and/or play an instrument, and just about all of them have been in a band at some point in their life. My mom is a singer/songwriter with multiple recordings. My dad's parents toured the country listening to polka bands, but my dad ended up getting into drumming. All of my 7 siblings are musical, too: we have pianists, singers, a drummer, a guitarist, and a potential violinist. We love singing together and making up goofy songs with each other.

...of music.   Minor 7th Chords:   Add a Minor 3rd to the Perfect 5th interval of a Minor chord Example: C-Eb-G-Bb Though these chords are found in most styles of music, they are huge a staple in jazz and R&B genres.

Setting Up a Drum Set

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 ...

Making Sense of Musical Genres

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.
