Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
Since I teach piano, guitar, and voice... a few my students take two instruments. The motor skills of playing piano or guitar are on the automatic pilot if you are going to sing on top. It is so rewarding to me when I hear students discovery, playing piano and singing, or playing guitar and singing their favorite song! Or when I hear a student play something simple with a sense of mastery, it is beautiful to me!Provide teaching at all levels. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Recorder Mallet Percussion
I like to teach to the interests and ability levels of my students. I believe in keeping lessons light and fun, while maintaining a strong emphasis on guiding my students toward becoming musically literate. A typical lesson for a younger student may include board games and coloring pages in addition to traditional "on instrument" time. I also strive to integrate technology in to my lessons, whether by using iOS apps as teaching supplements, or by monitoring home practice through a "flipped" classroom approach. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
The atmosphere presented to my students is always casual and friendly. I take care to make them feel relaxed and uninhibited. Either the parents or the students themselves frequently comment how much they appreciate my patience and flexibility. I relate to them as whole persons, not just music students.I strongly emphasize their enjoyment of the music and my expression of pleasure in their successes.I consider it a privilege to nurture others in the experience of music!

I am a voice, piano, and guitar teacher. I prefer to teach in an easygoing, but precise manner and try to adapt to all my students needs. Ive been in love with music since I was a kid, singing along to everything I could. I studied music in college and graduated in 2012, then started teaching privately in January of 2014. Along with the act of teaching and the enjoyment of music, Im a huge fan of tasty food, learning new things, and exploring the world around me. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Keyboard
For beginning students playing piano I typically start with Alfred's' Basic Piano Library, deciding on level when I learn about a students background in playing. On any brass wind instrument I will start with Measures of Success by FJH Music. It's important to me that students practice and understand the important of fundamentals in their music playing. A solid foundation provides students with the necessary tools to advance their musical career far past casually impressing friends with simple and redundant pieces. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My focus with each student is to tune into them in a way that I can then assess their physical, mental and emotional abilities. I ask each student what they want to learn with their instrument. If they do not know, we then start with the basics to establish a solid foundation in music with their instrument. Along the way, I ask the student what kind of music they like. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I started teaching Math professionally when I was 18 years old. After 21 years old, I started to teach at local music school as well as teaching privately at students houses. Some students asked me to teach Japanese, and I have taught Japanese as well. Teaching is my calling and I am good at it. I am just helping people to understand things they do not know or understand. I grew up with a private tutor and my academic was excellent. Read More
Instruments: Cello Bass Guitar Double Bass Music
When will I start to see results?
Immediately! Of course, you can only expect to get out of something what you invest into it, but I have never had a student who didn't walk out the door learning something valuable after their first lesson.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
As the great Duke Ellington once said, "There are only two kinds of music--good music and the other kind." Personally, though, I love to play the music that makes people feel something, whether that's to dance and have a good time or to sink under the weight of an emotional musical experience.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
You can get pretty far and make good use of your time and efforts by finding something to practice that directly targets a small and specific aspect of your playing and find ways to apply it musically. Make sure you have a clear goal in mind beforehand.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Many! One of my students who I've known since she was a very young--maybe 10 years old--recently got accepted into the college of her choice to pursue a career as a professional cellist. Using the skills and musicality she was able to develop during our time together, her audition performance not only landed her acceptance, but a full ride scholarship for a 4-year degree with room and board included as well! To contrast, an adult composition student I had wanted to learn enough and hone her skills so she could land some gigs writing for film and TV. She's done it! She's been to Hollywood and is still climbing her career ladder while being a full-time wife and mother to many children.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I take from a variety of different methods, such as Suzuki and Hal Leonard, as well as some methods I've adopted from former teachers. Please see the Teaching Philosophy and Teaching Resources section in my Lesson Handbook to learn more, which can be found on my website here: https://dzubel.wixsite.com/dantezubel/lessons
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Children are often more capable than we sometimes assume them to be. From my experience, age alone does not determine how effective lessons may be for a child. However, their ability to focus, their level of maturity, and, perhaps most importantly, their desire to learn have shown to be great signifiers of how effective music lessons may be for a child. On the other hand, sometimes children who aren't showing these qualities yet just need that extra push that music lessons offer--a task that they can set their mind to, a goal that they can work towards, and a non-parental figure to show them the importance of the things their parents/guardians are trying to teach them at home, such as patience, perseverance, hard work, etc. Anecdotally, as someone who doesn't typically teach 'the big three' (piano, voice, and guitar), I've noticed that my young students who study a less common instrument, like the cello or bass, are introduced to an entirely different degree of commitment and determination than that of their peers, who are all learning the more popular instruments.
