Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Clarinet Euphonium Tuba
Being a music teacher means much more to me than teaching students how to play the notes written on the musical page. As a music educator, my main goal is to offer my students endless musical experiences that are both positive and meaningful to their own personal development. I am also responsible for teaching my students how to see, think, recognize, and hear as musician, and to understand the importance of being musically literate. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Mallet Percussion
I'm a passionate, motivated, and organized instructor who loves working with my students to share my love of music. I graduated from Northwestern University this June with my Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education and Saxophone Performance. I maintained a studio of six saxophone, piano, and percussion students while earning my degree, so I am very experienced with private teaching! As a saxophone player, woodwinds are my specialty. I am very comfortable teaching saxophone, clarinet, and flute, in addition to non woodwind instruments like piano and percussion. Read More

Everyone has a talent for and comfort level with communication. Music is simply another form of the same though universal and like all art forms, so much more can be expressed with so much less. From an early age we become comfortable with verbal and physical expression. Music is no different; we just don't learn to speak the language as a matter of course. It is a discipline that can be defined, understood and put into practice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin
Each student develops at their own pace. To improve quickly, practice is very necessary. To improve slowly, lessons may be what guides your practice time. It is up to the student (and parent). I like to keep the pace moving, but repeat as much as necessary to build a firm foundation. I definitely work with the music that you are interested in and want to perform. I help you to understand how to overcome nervousness and how to feel comfortable performing in front of small or large crowds. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Brent has been recieving piano lessons for the last 10 years by teachers that have played with the likes of Ray Charles, teachers that have written music for Whitney Houston, and more. This has given him many different approaches to teaching for all different ages. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Bass Guitar Organ Accordion Ukulele Double Bass Keyboard
The teaching begins with identifying student's musical needs, goals and tastes. Students are taught a stimulating, thorough, and graduated course of recital solos, theory, technical studies, and a strandard instrument repertoire. For those wishing to pursue more of a classical approach to music, there are proven methods to accomplish that goal established by European Master Teacher and pedagogues. Also, I can teach the know-how of Jazz and Blues though gradual lessons that cover basic scales and chords up to melody and harmony development. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always go through things slowly and then in various tempos. It is important to play in a very relaxed state and to listen carefully to what you are playing. I use tuners extensively. Metronomes are good as well but they must be used properly. It makes no sense to set metronomes to meters that we cannot follow. Also, people often set metronomes improperly. Students may not feel meters in jazz when the metronome is set to 4/4 because jazz feels much more like 2/2. Music that is written in 6/8 may be played better if it was played with a feeling of two as well.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If a child sings or taps on things when they hear music, or even when they do not, it could be an indication that they have some innate talent. If they are just going along with the crowd because their friend is in the band that is usually an indication that they are really not that interested in the music itself. Those situations are not necessarily bad either because while playing with other children they may recognize some connection to the music. Students who want private instruction need to find an instructor that they can easily understand and identify with.
When will I start to see results?
If a student practices every day for a week they will immediately see the difference. Unfortunately most students do not believe this. I see this at all levels. I have always made my practice sessions enjoyable. I really enjoy playing so I try to get my students excited about it as well. I like to practice first thing in the morning. This is the great thing about keyboards as opposed to pianos. Keyboards allow for much more privacy because they can be can be turned down or sent through headphones only. Practicing is not a social event so the more focused a students is when they practice the better.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had a very good private instructor in high school who was an older gentleman who had made a career for himself as a professional musician and instructor. Working on my own now in the same field, I can see why he was always happy. He really took an interest in his students and had a very successful practice. As a younger musician, I was more focused on performing. At this point, I get as much satisfaction out of private teaching. In private practice, I have the chance to really focus on the development of my students.
