Matthew P

Instruments: Piano

I also like to incorporate improvisation into my teaching method, from very simple improvisational patterns for beginners to jazz improvisation for advanced students. I think teaching beginners that music does not always come off of a page is an important concept and can free them up to be their most creative selves, to feel connected to the music, and to be able to focus on creating a relaxed and natural technique.

Walter J

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone

I began my teaching career as a private lesson teacher in 2000. Then I advanced into the private schools from grades k-12 from 2001-2003. During this time I taught children that had special needs. They became one of my best students. I taught in public schools as well in 2008. I did private lessons for six years in between from 2003-09. Read More

Stevenson V

Instruments: Piano Drums Keyboard Djembe

For every instrument I teach, I always focus on tone primarily. To have whatever instrument the student is learning, be it drumset, piano, or voice, it is of utmost importance to me to have them re-sounding the whole body of the instrument with confidence, and with passion. When we start from this place, I then work on rudiments/scales, and aim to endow students with basic vocabulary, so that they may become fluent on their instruments. Read More

Bartosz W

Instruments: Piano Clarinet

I believe I have the ideal combination of knowledge, training, and experience to make an invaluable contribution to Musica Lessons. Since graduating with my Master’s degree in Clarinet Music Performance in 2002, I have performed with numerous musical groups, including bands, orchestras, and ensembles, all over the world. For 12 years I performed with the Sudecka Philharmonic Orchestra in Poland as a clarinetist and pianist. I worked aboard a Japanese cruise ship and played clarinet and saxophone as part of the ship’s band. Read More

I am a passionate and dedicated instruction who loves working with students and sharing my love of music with others. I was classically trained through private lessons since the age of 5, and I very much enjoy leading worship at my church, as well as bringing my love of music to kids' birthday parties and corporate events.

Nick J

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums

I love seeing my students excited about music. I like students to bring in music they feel passionate about so we can break it down and start to understand what makes it work. I find it important to set goals, adjust goals when things arent working and celebrate them when they are. Because of the great instruction I have had in my life, I understand the importance of being a teacher. Read More

Ethan A

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music Keyboard

I am a passionate instructor who loves to share in his excitement and enthusiasm for music and bringing joy to peoples' lives. In 2012, I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Tuba/Low Brass performance from Saint Joseph's College in IN. Following the music, I have been blessed to share in this universal language on stages small and large, near and far; from the streets of Austin, TX, to the largest churches in Rome, Italy.

Teacher In Spotlight

Bradley W

Instruments: Trumpet

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
It's a balance between listening to your body, yet pushing yourself beyond what you think you can do. I find that I can sometimes reach a plateau in a practice session and may not feel like continuing. 99% of the time, if I push onward - even if it's just a little bit - I not only break thru that plateau, but am better for it the next day.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Finding joy and interest in anything is the key. If they show interest and seem motivated (though, that's part of a teacher's job!), then I say go with it. No need to be over bearing with it. Just positive reinforcement.

When will I start to see results?
I've seen people catch on to something in a few minutes. It may just click. Others, will have to work really hard to get the same results. It's important to recognize little strides along the way, so that the student feels a sense of accomplishment in their progress. Positive motivation and encouraging diligence is the way.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I've had many great teachers over my life. Some formal, others just by way of discussions with other professionals. It did help that my father was a life long music educator...and one of the best in the area.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I started off playing cornet, with the full intention of switching to french horn. I did play french horn (and cornet) in middle school, but eventually gravitated fully to the cornet/trumpet.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Oh my. ha. I'm fortunate to have had so many enjoyable and proud moments throughout my career. Playing major shows around the country to some really huge audiences, TV, Recordings, supporting High School students with shows, etc. I Have had some of the most fun being proud of and being part of other musicians I've gotten to work with. It's great to be supportive of your fellow musicians and enjoy their contributions!

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Being consistent. It's easy to get a little atrophy from time to time. However, you are still expected to perform at your best...at all times...but especially as the prominence of the performance is greater (think, playing a Broadway show or with an artist). Knowing what it takes "you" to be prepared and confident is a great thing to strive for.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
There are so many great methods and ideas out there. It's really a matter of finding the exercises and concepts that help you maintain good performance levels and be consistent. Oh yeah, you have to enjoy working on these fundamentals! They are the keys to the kingdom!

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.
