Matt S

Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Djembe

I teach lessons to any grade/age group. I have an extremely open mind to teaching and music in general, so nothing goes out the door in terms of philosophy, however, I've come to realize that some methods work better than others. That said, I tailor my attention and focus as an educator to the needs of student I'm teaching in front of me. I don't consider the student who just walked out of the lesson or the student who is coming in next. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I have always been passionate about music and feel no greater joy than sharing this passion with my students and friends. I began playing guitar around 2003 while I was a freshman in high school. Throughout my high school years I have attended summer music camps in Green Bay, WI then at Berklee College of Music in Boston. After graduation I attended McNally Smith College of Music where I majored in Guitar Performance. 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

Elizabeth S

Instruments: Piano

I'm a passionate instructor who thoroughly loves bringing the gift and love of music alive in students. In 2017 I had graduated with my Fine Arts in Music degree at Mchenry County College. I enjoy discovering the new sounds in music and writing when inspired. Currently I am apart of a worship team at my church and I play keyboard but I find I play mostly without sheet music. I love adding my own touch to what I am hearing and simply play from my heart. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Drums Bass Guitar

I adjust my teaching based on the particular student. For adults I take the lessons in whatever direction they like. Subjects covered are more often than not dictated by the student's interest. For children I do take their interests into account but also guide them towards getting better at their instrument. Reading music is an important thing for all my students. Read More

Clifford G

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Bass Guitar

It is rewarding to see a student achieve a strong desire and a sense of accomplishment when they begins to play the instrument of their choice. I believe that a person should learn at their own pace. With that in mind I try to set realistic goals and make each lesson understandable. Acknowledging their success helps build their confidence and knowledge which translates into the student wanting to practice more. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Drew H

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Keyboard Electric Guitar

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
While there wasn’t a defining moment I just always knew music is what I wanted to do for my entire life, growing up around it just stuck it in my head and it became this innate want and need to pursue music professionally. There’s nothing like the feeling of performing music live and sharing something you worked so hard preparing and seeing how it resonates with the people listening. If I had to choose a moment it was probably the first time I actually played live and just the rush of adrenaline and the look of the crowd is addictive, music truly connects with people in a way nothing else does, and I wanted to be apart of that.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started playing piano before anything else which is what first made me fall in love with music, then as I got older I drifted towards bass guitar and then I decided why stop there?! Why not learn as many instruments I can and expand my knowledge of this art I love so much. So I started learning guitar on my own then I started singing more and more and then started getting into recording music and the production of it and training myself to be a mixing/mastering/recording engineer which is another huge passion of mine outside of just playing music. Recently I actually bought a mandolin and taught myself simply as a why not because now for any music I write if I ever need a mandolin it’s something I can play, I also did this with a lap steel guitar and a launchpad pro and the list goes on and on. There’s so much music in the world so why limit yourself to one part of it?!

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My dad actually helped me pick out my first bass at 9 years old and to be honest I don’t remember exactly why I went with bass, though there’s something about the deep, rich tone of a bass that really resonated with me. When going away to University I considered going in as a voice primary or guitar primary but decided on sticking with bass and am so grateful I did, for electric bass is still a relatively new instrument, being invented in the 50s so there’s still so much to discover about it, as proven by the truly amazing players we see making ground breaking revelations in the way a bass is played, such as Jaco Pastoriuz, Victor Wooten, and bassists alike.

When will I start to see results?
When it come to music you get what you put into it, I believe if the student practices an appropriate amount of time results can be seen within weeks, but I believe it’s important to keep in mind that it takes time and practice to become a great musician, hence the old saying “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” However, if the teacher creates a fun learning environment I believe results will come quicker because when learning is made fun it doesn’t feel as much like learning and therefore you learn better, faster, more efficiently.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was truly lucky to grow up in a very musical family, stemming from my dad having a masters degree in classical piano performance and hearing him play everyday while growing up. Along with my dad i have two older brothers who are great musicians as well and I got to see them play in bands and tour the country over the years when I was younger, which only made me want to play music more and more because it was something we shared as a family, so at 13 I started playing in bands and learning as much as I could about music. I was inspired everyday by being surrounded by music in our house and that’s something I’m truly appreciative of having.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Make it fun! The best way to practice is to find a way to make it fun, for example scales are not the most fun to practice, but something I do is put on a metronome and instead of playing the scale as straight 8th notes or quarter notes I will mess around with the rhythm and “groove” with the scale so it feels and sounds more like music, and not just an exercise. Also important is to practice different techniques while practicing rather than going through the same exercises for an hour straight, such as spend 10 minutes going through scales and then switch to arpeggios, or sight reading, basically whatever you can do to keep practicing from becoming mundane.
