Amber L

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

My name is Amber, and I am a graduate of Indiana University of Pennsylvania and earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education, as well as my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Vocal Performance. In addition to directing the Crimson Youth Choir and teaching privately in the IUPCMS, I directed/arranged music for the IUP Crimson Chords, an elite all-female a capella jazz ensemble. Last fall, I also directed Homer-Center’s Musical Annie and worked on Marion Center’s Musical Marry Poppins. Read More

Kyle W

Instruments: Piano Violin

For beginning students, I typically start with the Piano Adventures series. I learned from those books and they provide a well-rounded foundation of technique, lesson material, and performance material. That series also begins teaching basic music theory from the start. Piano Adventures is also great for visual learners- with pictures and diagrams to help understand the concepts in the lessons. My goal is to start students with strong technique and a practice plan.

Luke A

Instruments: Piano Voice Drums

Nothing makes me happier than watching a student progress and develop a passion for music. Therefore I think its important to let students grow and develop at their own pace. Setting realistc goals, acknowleging accomplishments, and challenging a student helps fuel their passion and increase their confidence! If a student has passion and confidence, tailoring lessons to their specific needs is easy! Read More

Tye D

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Acoustic Guitar

Hello everyone! My name is Tye. Im a singer-songwriter/ Musician. I'm originally from New Jersey, I lived in a few other states. I've been a lover of music since as far back as I can remember. I was a kindergarten teacher after graduating from college. I have always been a person who loves to learn....but in return I love teaching just as much! As I got more serious with music I started writing and performing. Read More

Kari B

Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard

I had a wonderful opportunity to start teaching piano at the same place that I took piano throughout high school KD Music Arts, about 8 years ago. Since then, Ive taught piano and voice to students a variety of ageskids and adults! I love arranging my younger students favorite songs that they hear on the radio so they can play them on the piano, sometimes even playing rhythm video games on my Nintendo 3DS to brush up on their music theory skills :) I want my students to finish a lesson feeling like the possibilities that they have with music are endless.

Alysia R

Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo

I am neither strict nor laid back. In order to improve, however, students are required to practice everyday (even if it is for 15 minutes a day). I do not demand perfection from my students, but I do expect students to put in the effort to learn. I truly want to teach students to play music and I want to encourage students to find joy in making music. Read More

Kathleen S

Instruments: Piano Voice

For beginning piano students, I select a method book that will be best for the individual student. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for a recital performance. For voice students, I use the bel canto style of singing. Students will learn proper technique through vocal exercises and solo repertoire. We will focus on breathing, intonation, vowel formation, and posture among many other things. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Don't view practice as a chore that simply needs to be done, a box that needs to be ticked, or a time that needs to be filled. The act of practicing itself won't make you any better. Rather, view practice as an opportunity to increase your skills, as a chance to focus on what you have trouble with, and as your skills grow and your troubles shrink, your ability will naturally improve. Better quality practice, even if done less often, will yield better results than simply "grinding" an hour a day on something you're not actually enjoying.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This could be different for every child, especially depending on the instrument. For some instruments, a child might not physically big enough to effectively play the instrument they want to. In most cases, there are smaller alternatives that they could start on, and move those skills over to their instrument of choice when they are the correct size. For example, many skills on ukulele will transfer over to guitar, but ukuleles are much easier for small bodies to handle. Aside from size, the student needs to have the ability to listen, focus, and follow directions, and an understanding of the concept of practicing over time to improve skill. Musical ability is not something that can be mastered in a single afternoon. And in fact, it is a process that is never truly over - one can always get better. So they need to understand that they are starting a process, not acquiring a new thing. Some children can understand this quite young, and some people still struggle with this as adults.

When will I start to see results?
That depends on what you consider a "result." A tuba student might take months just to properly play a single note, and a piano student might be able to play a simple tune in the first day. Every student is different, every instrument has its own set of challenges, and every parent has a different expectation. I have had several students who all start at the same time but progress at very different rates, due in part to the student's level of motivation, their own personal goals on the instrument, and their natural ability or sense of rhythm. Some students take to it quite naturally and so can very quickly appear proficient, even if they don't put in that much effort. Others can try and try but not quite "feel" the timing for the rhythm correctly, and that takes longer to develop if it doesn't come naturally.

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.
