Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
Over my years of teaching, I have developed my own method for beginning students that caters to the individual student's needs and learning styles. Once the student has grasped the basic fundamentals, I start to introduce solo repertoire appropriate to their level, as well as focusing on learning proper technique. I believe that a very important part of my role as teacher is to guide the student on the route that they want to go. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I think music making is the most appealing part of learning to play a new instrument. This is why I try to make every new concept Iteach as appealing and as fun as possible. For example, if in day one I am teaching two notes, I like to have as much fun with those two notes by making a song or a game out of them. In this way my students are able to engage in music and have fun while they are learning. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard
Having piano lessons is like opening the door to a magic music journey. Hanmina, as an experienced teacher, would love to share the good time with every student, and also to pour the knowledge to develop their piano skills through simple and clear way. Based on the having fun in learning the music by playing the piano, she is good at adjusting the teaching method for students in different age and character by taking care of their feeling. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
I have been playing flute for 12 years now, and I got my first student when I was in high school. It was then that I realized that I really loved being able to share my knowledge and experience and I proceeded to pursue it during my undergraduate years. Most of my teaching experience was gained from my time at Vanderbilt in Nashville. Throughout my four years, I had 8 students ranging from beginner to intermediate level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Organ
I've been in the field of music education, production and performance for over 20 years. I have spent half of my life helping others find their path in music. One of the most important lessons I have learned as a teacher is that...."people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care!!!!" I understands that building a relationship with a student is just as important as the information I teach. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I have been teaching violin and viola for the last six years. My main goal is to make sure that student is having a great time learning how to play an instrument while making sure the student understands good practice habits. I want to make sure that the student has fun in their lessons and I make it my main priority. If the student wants to learn jazz, I am well versed in jazz and can teach jazz. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
During our lessons we will address correct breathing and posture and different vocalises that will strengthen and free up the voice, giving the student more power, more range and more freedom/agility. Singing with freedom is a different path for each singer, and I will prescribe different exercises for each area of the voice we are trying to improve. You will also be assigned songs: some classical, some musical theater and then whatever genre is your favorite. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Piano is a foundational instrument and coming from a family of musicians, all 10 of us siblings started on the piano. The piano let some to different instruments, but once you learn the piano, your ability to pick up and learn other instruments is exponentially easier. The notes, chords, time signatures and music theory translate to other instruments. At at a minimum if an individual can take a few years of piano and then move to another instrument, they will have a much easier time learning an additional instrument. If you start your child with piano right away, by the time they are in middle school and want to participate in band for example, they will be well equipped and have an advantage.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am proud I have spent a lifetime playing the piano for others, as well as, my own enjoyment! My family, my friends, my church, for so many weddings, funerals, choirs, etc.. I am so proud of the many students I have taught and that stuck with the instrument until they were able to play fluently and gained the lifetime enjoyment from the piano instrument. I had one student, Sarah, who started lessons with me in 3rd grade. She was very motivated and very bright! She worked hard at learning and advancing on the piano, as well as, in her knowledge of theory and her appreciation of music. We worked together until Sarah was a junior in high school. At that point, it was my pleasure to say Sarah needed the next level teacher:) What an accomplishment for her, as well as, myself. Along the way, Sarah participated in band, learned other instruments and kept with her piano for many years.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Any one of my students succeeded and deserved special honors every year that they stuck with the piano. However, it was my greatest pleasure when a student wanted to compete at, for example the MNTA piano competition. To learn a difficult piece, to master it, perform it in a competitive venue is a big hurdle and accomplishment for a student. I encourage and try to insensitize a student to try a competition at least once - certainly not required as not everyone is comfortable with this, however, like recitals, a competition can be a great teaching tool.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use a combination of methods, Alfred, Leonard, etc. - I don't subscribe to one method, but find using a variety in combination usually works best. There is no substitute for learning and memorizing your notes, for learning and being able to play to the time signature, for learning music theory, etc.. I have found finding out what style of music the students likes and wants to play is often very motivating and from that point, bringing in all the required elements. You can learn the notes, time signatures and theory from playing any style of music and often playing what you like, whether it is show tunes or pop, keeps you sitting at the piano and playing.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Warm up first - warming up the hands, fingers, wrists is as often neglected as stretching before and after a workout!
