Johanna B

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have been teaching for over ten years and received private instruction myself growing up. Teaching music I'd an important part of my life. Learning music has the power to form many connections in the brain that can increase academic performance in school as well as develop a sense of expressivity. This is a concept I have kept constantly in mind throughout my teaching career. In addition to teaching, I have performed in both solo recitals and with ensembles. Read More

Priscilla G

Instruments: Piano Voice

At the very first lesson, I try to understand how far along in training the singer has come. From the very beginning we sing so I get to understand the singers voice. Their strengths and weaknesses. I then build lessons around each singers individual vocal journey to get them to their goals which we will discuss in the first lesson as well. I am trained in a European classical format as well as Broadway foundation that can help benefit any singer. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Oboe

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing can be a real drag. I myself, have moments or days where I do not feel I want to even look at my instruments. It takes a lot of self determination, motivation, and discipline to play an instrument or sing well. To this I say, make it fun. First, you should choose a piece of music you are motivated to learn and really enjoy playing. Second, repetition is key. I use between 5-10 objects and play the same passages that I am struggling with over and over moving the objects when I play the passage correctly. It makes repetition practice like a game. Third, you should listen to someone performing the piece you want to play, then play it for your self while recording it. Listen to your recording and think about how you want to play the piece. This can be very enlightening and motivating.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any age child can start, but the parent must be willing to work with the child depending upon the age to assist their focus on the task. Obviously, the younger the child is, the more challenging it will be for them to focus for longer periods of time. Nothing is impossible with parental support. I personally prefer my students to have the ability to read. This helps them to read notes on a page, and usually by this time the child also has a little more maturity to deal with a one-on-one lesson.

When will I start to see results?
This depends on the student and their interest. If a student takes what they learned in the lesson and practices at home then results will be immediate. If the student has trouble practicing at home, results my take longer to notice.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I have worked with the Alfred series for piano. I find them leveled really well and they also include a bit of music theory which really develops music understanding.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I first always start with warm-ups. I believe warm-ups really are the building blocks of technique which is vital to learning piano, voice or any instrument under the sun. Next we look at the level or etude book if we are working with piano or instruments. These songs are short and have a mini lesson/technique hidden in them. These further build the students' ability to play more difficult pieces later. Last, I always wish that the student choose a piece of music that they are passionate about. This takes all the previous things we have worked on and uses them more authentically. They get a chance to see all their hard work on technique combined to produce something that they are truly interested in.

Most students start out by learning to play on a keyboard or digital piano. The most reputable keyboards brands are Yamaha, Roland and Casio, and can be purchased from most good music instrument retailers. Students should look to buy a keyboard with 88 weighted keys, as this will most resemble the playability of a real piano. At a minimum, 61 keys will suffice for most songs and practice. Keyboards are portable and can be played with headphones, making them highly convenient for practice. That said, if it is within your means to buy an acoustic piano, it will provide the best learning experience.

The teachers in Musika's network design their piano lessons around the needs and abilities of each student. This means that lessons cater to a wide range of ability and experience levels, from those just starting to play the piano for the very first time, to students with already established skills and experience. For new learners, the aim is to get them playing simple songs as quickly as possible. To do so means teaching them the basics, such as scales, hand position, fingering technique, and chords. These are the essential skills for playing simple material. Beyond this, students can learn to develop their musical ear, sight read, read sheet music and chord charts, and general music theory. They will start to learn more complex chords and start applying them to more advanced compositions as they advance in lessons. Some students will already be excellent players, but want to develop particular skills, such as improvisational skills, or to study one specific type of piano playing, such as Blues or Classical piano.
