Chris K

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Ukulele Mandolin Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I've been teaching music for a little over 5 years (2014). I have started many kids who don't know if they would rather learn guitar, drums, or piano. So I give them a tour of all three and show them the basics before they decide their favorite. I encourage consistent practice and practice methods that ensure that the students always feel a sense of improvement without frustration. Personally I've felt the sense of improvement after practicing but was still more agitated, but that was college, before I started teaching. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Flute Drums Ukulele Recorder Piccolo Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I am a musician and an artist; my heart sings when music plays and I love nothing more in life than spreading the joy that music brings. In 2015, I graduated from Humboldt State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Flute Performance and a minor in Cultural Anthropology. I spent the following 5 years traveling through Europe (for flute), Trinidad & Tobago (for steel pan), and Cuba (for congas and flute). Read More

Alison C

Instruments: Piano Voice

I am open to student selection of pieces with teacher approval for students of all ages. For teen and adult singers, I work more intensely on vocal technique. I try to find out their interests and goals, and provide instruction that is designed to help them achieve this. I have studied intensely with several of the greatest teachers of classical and popular style singing. This has given both me ability and flexibility in my teaching. Read More

Julie L

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Saxophone Flute Clarinet

I love seeing my students grow in their knowledge and appreciation of music! Excellence is rewarding, and I teach the process to get there from whatever level we begin. I use positive reinforcement and notice what the student is doing right. Then, I give critique and an action plan to improve performance. It feels good for the student and teacher when they learn the methods to break down what is currently difficult into smaller pieces so that it is both manageable and possible to go further than they thought.

Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele Music Keyboard

I am a laid-back, patient, fun teacher, who is always looking for new ways to motivate and inspire her students. Before anything, I make sure my students are comfortable with me and relaxed. I am nurturing and creative in my lessons and aim to build my students' confidence and pride in their musical achievements while teaching self-discipline so that they will reach and celebrate many milestones. I love music, and I love helping spread that passion to my students. Read More

Dave H

Instruments: Piano

I have started piano students off with Piano Adventures Primer Lessons and Theory, and have taught adults using the Alfred Basic Adult Piano Course. I do have students learning from John Thompson's Teaching Little Fingers How to Play method (moves more quickly than Piano Adventures), and have a Blues Piano student learning from various sources including How to Play Boogie Woogie (Hal Leonard/Wise). I teach beginning guitar using the Hal Leonard Guitar Method, also Mel Bay's Modern Guitar Method, and Mel Bay's Fun With Strums. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Adrian B

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone French Horn Tuba

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
The Arutunian trumpet concerto is one of my favorite pieces that I always enjoy performing. In my personal opinion this piece is one of the best written pieces for the trumpet. What I mean by this is that there are some pieces that are written for trumpet that the composer may have been thinking about another instrument being able to play it, so the piece may include techniques that are not best suited for the trumpet. However, this piece is perfectly written for the trumpet even though it is not 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 have a Bachelor's degree in performance and a teaching license in Music: Instrumental Prek-12. I chose the performance degree because I wanted to become a professional musician and I felt that this would present the most challenges and help me improve with my instrument. After this, I decided that I wanted to more know about the pedagogy of the instrument so I began to take music education classes and pursuit a teaching license in instrumental music. I have recently finished all the required classes for this license and I am preparing to take the Praxis exams.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
It is very important to warm up, even more so for the trumpet player. However, I like my students to know and understand the difference between warming up and practicing your technique. The first thing I do is warm up, this should take no longer than 10 minutes. After this, I rest as long as I warmed up. I then practice the first lessons of the Clarke or Arban's book (which contain scales). I will rest again and after this I will practice some of the flexibility and staccato studies of the Arban's book. It is important to mention that in order to make sure that I am resting enough, I will often record everything so that I am encouraged to listen to what I just played. Because resting can be boring, listening to what I just played keeps me entertained and at the same time I don't overwork. After this, I begin to work on the music that I am currently playing. When practicing on new music, I will often work backwards. In other words, I will start working on the end of the piece rather than the beginning. On the music, I will circle all the places that need the most work and I will spend most of the time working on those sections only.

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.
