Yoshihiro O

Instruments: Piano Clarinet

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

Hugo S

Instruments: Piano Trombone Euphonium Music

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 10 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 10 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the trombone, piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

Jane H

Instruments: Piano Voice

I am a graduate of Lawrence University with a BA in Music (Piano) and German. I've played piano for almost 20 years, but in college performed more with voice. In college as a BA candidate I was able to take a variety of lessons, including classical piano (my major), jazz piano, classical voice, and jazz voice. One of my favorite projects in college included a recital comprised of all the types of music I love playing and learning about such as a solo piano piece, a few piano duets, a piecewhere I sang and accompanied myself, a vocal jazz small group, and a few others.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Ukulele Recorder Euphonium French Horn Tuba Electric Guitar Djembe

I developed my skills as a result of my upbringing. My mother was a teacher who specialized in encouraging me to live up to my most cherished dreams. Music was a good enough fit for me that I studied, performed, and taught for many years. Now, after fifteen years, I seek to go back to teaching private lessons - which will work better with a more seasoned perspective. No matter what else you want out of life, you chose music.

Matthew J

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Music Keyboard

It is important to have a broadened perspective of what it means to be a well rounded musician while having concentrated study in a specific genre or idiom. In my lessons, I strive to cover the major elements required to be a successful trombonist or musician in not only the jazz idiom, but the general music industry as a whole. These subjects include: sight reading, music theory, aural training, music listening, improvisation, composition, arranging, basic music notation, basic music recording techniques, historical and cultural contextualization, music entrepreneurship, and performance edict.

Carla P

Instruments: Guitar Voice Ukulele Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
My voice was my first musical instrument technically although I didn't actually start studying voice until my adult years. I began playing guitar because I had access to a guitar which initially belonged to my brother. When he switched to bass I began trying to teach myself guitar. Luckily, I loved punk rock music which I was able to play. After years of playing guitar I attended a party on the beach. I brought my guitar to jam. There were several ukulele players at the party. After trading to a ukulele I found that it was a fun and easy instrument to play. I got hooked on the ukulele and often bring a ukulele with me when I go to the beach.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Although my parents were not professional musicians both of them loved music. Both my parents were born in New Orleans and understood the value of music. My Mother played piano, but she didn't have a lot of time to play because she worked full time and had four children. However, when she did play we were always surprised by her ability. Although she was not a professional singer people always asked her to sing. She had a great voice and was never shy about singing. My father exposed us to a huge variety of music from his extensive record collection. Everything from Neville Brothers to Earth Wind and Fire.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I don't remember one particular moment when I decided I wanted to become a musician. However, I do remember having a conversation with my high school guidance counselor about my interest in the psychology of music. At that time I did not consider myself a musician but more of a music enthusiast. During my high school years I was not considered a great singer. I didn't learn to play guitar until after i graduated from high school. I just love music and over the years i have gained the knowledge and skills to be a professional musician.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
i grew up listening to a variety of musical genres such as jazz, rock, soul, funk, blues, R&B, reggae and Afro-Cuban music. I can honestly say that I do not have a favorite style to play because it changes with my mood. I really enjoy playing blues but there are other times when I feel strongly about playing reggae. I really enjoy playing classic jazz tunes by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong. There are other times when I enjoy rocking out playing songs by Jimmy Hendrix or the Beatles. I currently play in a jazz act, classic rock band, and an acoustic rock/reggae duo.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If a hadn't become a musician and music therapist I probably would have pursued a career as a mental health practitioner such as a psychotherapist, grief counselor or rehab counselor. Initially I majored in psychology when I first pursued higher education. However as I studied psychology I became more aware of how music could be used in therapy to help individuals gain insight into self. I began to read about music therapy and realized the power of music. If I had become a psychotherapist or grief counselor I would have used music as a therapeutic tool.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Although difficult to narrow down to one piece, at this time one song pops into mind. "Feeling Good" by Nina Simone. When I sing this song I feel like I am the strongest, most powerful woman in the world. I am empowered by the reality that I can make a positive impact on the world by using my voice and guitar. I am reminded of the spiritual beauty of nature and being part of nature. I am a song writer and feel strongly about performing my original songs. However when I sing "Feeling Good" I express myself so thoroughly that I feel like I wrote the song myself.
