Michael K

Instruments: Piano Guitar

I have been teaching professionally since graduating from Capital University in 2009, and have had the pleasure of teaching individuals of all ages and interests. I've developed a lesson plan centered around building a complete musician, not just a guitarist. Integral to that plan is the development of reading, writing, and improvisational skills. I also like to focus on each students' own musical interests, studying music that they're interested in, as well as what I think is important for everyone to learn. Read More

Alec S

Instruments: Piano

As I went off to Ohio State for college I considered pursuing a Bachelors degree in Piano Performance, but after being accepted into the program and spending my freshman year in the school of music, I decided that I wanted other things from college and that my musical career would not require such a degree. Nevertheless, that year added much to my life as a musician, and I continued to play over my college years. Read More

Joseph S

Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard

I have fairly casual lessons. I want my students to have fun while still making meaningful progress. I don't turn pages just to turn pages. If there is confusion on a song, we review it for a few weeks. I also like for parents to take a hands-off approach. I feel it is not their job to teach their children piano, and what they say may confilct with what I say. Read More

Edward S

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Bass Guitar

Music should be fun. If it isn't fun, why do it? Music is art, not machinery, and I believe lesson time should be the perfect blend of work and fun. It takes work to achieve new skill levels in music, but it takes joy, love and fun to make the work worth it! I help guide students to achieve new goals by encouraging and always pointing to the positive (because to me negative reinforcement just doesn't work). Read More

Sierra S

Instruments: Piano Voice

One of the things I love most is the shock of parents and students who expect that either they themselves are going to dread the lessons or practice session or that their child will give up and hate practicing. Parents and students tell me how exciting they are to come each week and hit each milestone. I make learning fun! Simple as that. I have had so many students over the years who are so nervous and timid about playing or singing and by the time we get to the first recital, they are confident and light up on the stage. Read More

Nadine F

Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Music

I have over 5 years of teaching experience working with a variety of communities and age groups internationally and locally. This has allowed me the flexibility to truly cater my teaching style to the needs of each and every student, and be culturally competent realizing that every student learns differently and has different needs. I have conducted a children's choir as well and have played music professionally for over 15 years. I also am an actress where I have acted in a variety of films and theater projects across the city.

Instruments: Piano Voice

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
First off, don't hurry through it! Make sure you set aside enough time to relax and focus on the material. This should be in a distraction free and well lit area. It's best if you can find a place to be alone, although i know that is sometimes a challenge. You also need to learn practice techniques that will help you tackle difficult sections and keep you from getting frustrated. In piano, this could be practicing with hands apart, slowing down the tempo or writing in some of the more difficult notes. Lastly, always have a pencil ready! There is nothing wrong with writing in some reminders in the music!

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This of course is different with every student. In regards to the piano, I ask that the minimum age be 5 years old. This will ensure the child's dexterity is developed enough to be able to place his or her hands on the keyboard effectively. Attention span is also a key component as well and will affect the child's development with the instrument. Sometimes if a child has trouble sitting still for 30 minutes, you may want to consider waiting a year or two until the child develops a little further. I of course have learned this seeing that I often had trouble sitting still at that age! ;)

When will I start to see results?
You should began to see growth after the first month. Sometimes sooner depending on the student's age and readiness. My goal to have the student learn something new every week and be able to demonstrate it back to me the following week. This could be a new song, scale, concept or technique. In that sense, each child should be showing results after each lesson. I cannot stress the importance of the student practicing during the week. This will really make the difference between seeing growth and not seeing it.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My high school choir teacher was awesome! She was so passionate and committed to teaching music that it greatly inspired me to make it my passion as well. She was firm and tough and taught me the value and of course the payoff of hard work and practice. She was also an accomplished keyboardist and I always wanted to play like her. I believe that it was her love of music that allowed me to make it though my degree in college, getting through the tough times and discouragement. It helped me keep my eye on the prize and accomplish my dreams!

Good Guitar Brands: A Quick Overview for New Players

...guitar is the brand, manufacturer, or luthier.   Each brand has its own distinctions, benefits, drawbacks, and niche which it appeals to.

For example, consider the image cultivated by Jimi Hendrix and his Fender Stratocaster. Not only did he expand the realm of tones that everyone thought the guitar was capable of, he made this particular model his own. It’s an iconic guitar that will always be associated with Hendrix and the blues.   Since ... Read More

Strong sight readers are familiar with the style of music that they are playing, not necessarily lightning fast at processing individual notes and rhythms.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
