George has been a private piano teacher for at least twelve years working with Naperville Music, Ascendo Piano in Fort Wayne, Indiana and has done student teaching in music education K-12 in the Baltimore County, Maryland area. In 1969, I was awarded a Board of Governors' Scholarship in piano with study under Herman Godes and William Nelson. While a piano student, I studied organ with Dr. Clyde English, former student of Marcel Dupre. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For 5 to 6 year old beginners, I create an individualized lesson plan based on observing the student's learning style, strengths and weaknesses as well as personality. For the first 4 or more lessons, this includes my own big-note, large-symbol work sheets and simple songs. Next, and with older or more advanced students, I use a combination of lesson, technique and performance method books (Faber, Bastien, Hal Leonard), a scale/chording book and adjunct material consisting of songs the student wants to learn such as pop/rock, movie themes, holiday and theme music, and classical, to maintain interest and enjoyment.

For beginning students, I typically start with Hal Leanord's Essential Elements. Once the student has a grasp of their instrment and the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire and tecnique exercises. I will try to find out what the student is interested in to help guide my instruction and keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter the age or ability level. Read More

I build each lesson around the needs of each student and what they would like to accomplish. I help them set reasonable practice and achievement goals. If there is a style of music they would like to learn or a particular song, I try to fit it in with the lesson and use it as a teaching tool as well. Proper technique is the foundation for exceptional performance. I spend at least 5-10 minutes each lesson on technique. Read More

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

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. as all students are different, I always respect that and teach accordingly.

Instruments: Flute Piccolo
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am extremely proud of my Master of Music in Flute Performance and being selected to study in the studio of legendary flutist Robert Willoughby during my graduate studies. I was also extremely honored to be selected as Principal Flute for the National Wind Ensemble which performed at Carnegie Hall.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I always loved the sound of the flute when I would watch the Boston Pops with my grandparents. As a fifth grader I was also drawn to the compact size of the case and the fact that it was easy to carry around.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I believe that one of the most effective ways to practice is to work on the material in small manageable sections. Within each section it’s important to identify which parts are the most challenging. Once identified begin by working slowly on the difficult part making sure that notes and rhythms are accurate. At the end of your practice session trying playing the whole section that you worked on and see if it feels better to play.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child is showing a strong interest in learning an instrument I believe beginning lessons with a qualified instructor from day one is extremely important. These lessons will allow your child to start off learning to play the instrument with the proper way to produce a tone as well as helping them learn the proper technique for playing their instrument.
When will I start to see results?
It is important to remember that in order to see the maximum results from lessons your child needs to be practicing their lesson assignments for the time period suggested by the teacher each day. Consistent practice accompanied with weekly lessons will provide the maximum result. Results will be much slower if your child is not practicing in between lessons. Every child is different however you should notice results after the first full month of lessons.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was fortunate to have many influential teachers throughout my musical life. I began playing the flute in fifth grade band and from the moment I picked up the flute I was hooked. After trying several activities as a child and not really finding one where I fit in, I was thrilled to find band. It was early middle school when I decided that I wanted to pursue music for my career. It was the combined dedication of all of my teachers that helped me make that decision.
