Hello, My name is Codrut B. and I am a musician from Romania. I graduated with my Master's Degree from San Francisco Conservatory in Vocal Performance.

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard
I have had a desire to be an educator since I was in second grade. The first music ensemble I directed was a men's choir at Huntley High School in Huntley, Illinois. I proceeded to direct worship choirs and bands at Carthage College for my four years at Carthage. After Carthage I became the music teacher at Fratt Elementary School in Racine, Wisconsin where I taught general music and directed the annual fourth and fifth grade musical. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I try to give each student an idea whats coming next, every few lessons or so, while practicing what their on currently. This idea is not for every student so it is a selective process I use with the brightest ones, or fast learners and good practicers.When I see a student really start to play well I gain confidence in my teaching style...but when needed I can dial it back a notch or two.

Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
In my private lesson, you'll gain an understanding, not only of the piano and how to play it in many different styles, but also of music, how it works and how songs are formed and structured. You are about to begin a journey of playing the piano that will take you as far as you are willing and able to go. I will give you everything you need to learn to play the piano by ear, along with lots of extras. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Clarinet
Young students love playing the pop tunes, so I whole-heartedly accept them finding a book of broadway or pop tunes and brining it to lessons. For the older students, I always go to the Rose 32 Etudes for Clarinet, focusing primarily on the slower etudes to continue developing tone. Scales are also a must for all ages - I stress the importance of tone with these exercises because it's not just about the fingers. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Music Keyboard
I've taught private lessons to students of all ages for the last 10+ years. Additionally, I have taught at the middle school and high school levels. I've taught instrumental, vocal, and general music. I enjoy watching students progress in their studies. Most importantly, I enjoy watching students reflect upon their growth musically. I consider music to be a very important investment in a child's future. Many parents do not know that their children can earn college scholarship dollars for playing an instrument well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Recorder Euphonium French Horn Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I start my students with a single lesson where I gain a knowledge about the student's musical abilities and personality. I don't generally start with a single method book, because I believe that in individual lessons, the methods used should be tailored to fit the student. I will pull from Essential Elements, Accent on Achievement, and Standard of Excellence, as well as writing and devising my own warm ups and methods. Read More

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician, I would be back in the advertising agency business.
It allow me to write jingles, create videos that combine audio, music and video to make a more dynamic communication piece that is more memorable. Now, I would like to do more Pro bono projects for needy charities. It is important for us all to participate in our community. What better way that through music, especially from my students. I am fortunate to enjoy playing several instruments, some not as well as others, but music is about how you pass along emotion, not just notes,
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform would be a concert of self written songs that communicate emotion to the audience, enjoyment of the musicality, harmonies and syncopated sounds that together make a very enjoyable time for the audience. I have to tell you it is really fun to play in front of people. Like anything, it takes a little time and effort to learn anything. If it is fun along the way, you will never stop doing it.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
The Suzuki method of teaching is closest to my style of teaching. Let's play. I'll show how to participate musically, sometimes very simple, but we are playing. And enjoying play. After all, playing is called that for a reason, and that's play. Some people like note playing, others syncopated chording. I like group teaching as it allows the student to learn to play with others, to keep time, to be on time, and a few mistakes don't matter. 'Group play shows that mistakes in a group are barely noticed and not the end of the world.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I like to evaluate the persons weekly practice after a fun warm up. Then talk what the student has enjoyed from listening to the radio or other means.
Together we might listen to the song as a candidate for a future song to learn. If the song is in the students ability range, we might find what the student is willing to do to learn a part of the song, however easy.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I was fortunate to have an early learning in piano, which gave me an excellent basis for music in any form. Whether I was writing an advertising jingle, reading the music from my church hymnal, or playing in a band with friends for fun, or professional for money. Music is more than a hobby. It is part of my life. I was apprehensive about singing at first, now I enjoy singing, and am not afraid to sing out loud, or in front of people. I believe anyone needs a basic understanding of music, but the rest does not have to be hard,
