Hello! My name is Donovan, and I am an instructor who specializes in ear training and technique. Originally being a self-taught musician, I began with piano and harmonica, then eventually branched out to guitar, bass, banjo, among several others. I have ran sound equipment from an early age as well, learning how to set rigs for full bands and how to mix and master tracks for recording purposes. I have met and played with many famous and unfamous musicians, and find that the highest amount of talent is undiscovered and uncultivated. Read More

Jacob N

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Harmonica Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For students who are beginners, I usually start with the Hal Leonard Essential Elements 2000 books. Not only are they a great source for fingering charts and basic instrument fundamentals, but they also offer great full band exercises in band balance and togetherness as well. Once the beginner student learns more fingerings and is able to read music from the book faster, I will give the student beginner etudes and studies to build their embouchure and fingering skills.

Janee J

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet

Progression is my primary goal for each student. When my students grow, I grow. It is imperitive that each student remembers that growth is an individualized thing. I first encourage my students to set goals. Knowing what my student has an interest in doing/becoming will help me understand better how to pace the lessons. I always encourage consistent practice and acknowledging each student's accomplishment helps drive the student's desire to want to progress. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

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.

Ok

Are you sure that's your only availability? The more availability you easier it will be to arrange a teacher for you.
