Dylan R

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Mallet Percussion

I cannot stress enough the respect I have for each student's learning style and play, and I put a lot of effort into understanding each students individuality.  We're not making fast food, here! That said, I have some basic books I've been working out of for years.  For younger students I work with a couple things including the Alfred Drum Method and the Bastien books, as well as very simple ear training games and things like 5 finger scales.

Dahlia B

Instruments: Piano

For young beginners, I like to use Alfreds Basic Piano Library books. The songs inside are simple, fun, and are a great introduction to piano and music theory! For older beginners and more advanced students, Ill use Piano Adventures and The Piano Bench of Classical Music. Ill also throw in a favorite theory and technique book according to students age. My lessons will consist of classical piano training theory, technique, and performance but we can apply this to any piece the student wants to learn! Read More

Ella M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Recorder Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I really love seeing my students come into their musicianship and artistry! I know that, it is really important that each student flourishes at his or her own pace. I believe setting realistic goals keeps both myself and the students engaged throughout the experience. I want to celebrate the wins we come across as much as possible as I know that inspires a lot of people to continue. I like to tailor everything to the students needs and desires while also giving them a broad knowledge to build from. Read More

Alfred S

Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Keyboard

I treat each student individually. Everyone has their own pace of learning and their own capabilities. I cater my lessons towards their needs. It is important as so they can have a successful learning experience and development. I also like to learn about what kind of music they like and I find the music they want to learn at their skill level. I usually incorporate several different genres into the lessons that they desire to learn, including Pop, Musical Theatre, Film Music, and even world music. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Feef M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Banjo Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My mother is very musical. She sang in church choirs, plays piano and guitar.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Every time I tried to move away from music, it came back and grabbed me. I got my Master's in Education from HArvard University and was set to interview to work on Children's Television Workshop in Boston, Mass But I went back to Scotladn, started busking inthe streets of Edinburgh adn fell in with a proudcer who ended up recording my songs and getting me a publishing deal in London.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started by playing the piano, then grabbed my mother's guitar and stared playing that. Later, I gravitated toward bass, banjo, autoharp,dulcimer, ukelele, melodica. I do play some violin too. As I am a producer, and have a Pro tools and Logic studio, I find it helpful to play as many instruments as I can.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love the electric guitar. i love playing blues riffs. I love grunge music (my generation, I guess) and I love jazz. But I also love Celtic music, American Folk music and I like to play in different tunings on the guitar.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I am also a writer and an English teacher.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
B.A in Music, English and Theater. I wrote scores for theater when in college.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I like to take one songwriter/band and learn as much as I can from him/her/them. recently, I have been learning as much as I can about The Beatles. Studying each song is a huge education

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
We go something like this: 1. 10-15 minutes warm up: scales, drills, chords. Change tempos. 2. The rest of the session is on repertoire: we have a number of songs we want to learn. And so we work the song. I teach from the original recordings. we adapt as we go, but we really study the original work and learn as much from it as we can.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
When I teach piano, I use Hanon. These are the best finger exercises ever created. As to guitars, bass, string things, I use my own method. My book has not been published but one ofthese days it will be!

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Two of my students have ended up with record deals. I provided a safe space for them to work on their crafts and record, I did not judge. I simply recorded them very well, and inspired a lot of confidence.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing is to stick with it. Patience. Also focus. This is why an sintructor can be so helpful. It takes a while to build confidence and to get a sense of what you want to do with your instrument. You need support and structure.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I was awarded BEST NEWCOMER in the UK and got to represent my country in Japan at a World Music Festival. The award was given to me by Sir Goerge MArtin, and I will never forget that moment, though I regret I was so young I tried to hug Sir Martin! And that was not appropriate!

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I really didn't. The guitar chose me. I had to write songs. I started writing when I was six, on the piano. The instruments were there, adn I felt the need. They drew me to them.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
The answer to this is that my teachers were so awful I was determined to go into music to be better than they were to me. One viola teacher made me, for a month, stand and hold my viola. I didn't even play. And then he criticised the way I held the instrument.

When will I start to see results?
The result you want to see is a need the child will feel to play the instrument! To express. To release energy.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Build in foundation work. Practice scales, chords, and work with a metronome. Do the stuff that isn't fun first. But get it done. And do it often. Know theory. Learn how to read, if notation, tablature, chord charts. Anything that works.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will easily know if your child starts playing an instrument on his or her own. Do not push or force music on a kid.

...of those keys. The chords are either major, minor, or diminished. The great news here is that these assigned chords never change. We use a simple system of Roman Numerals to describe the way chords operate in keys. This is what the Roman Numerals look like for the chords of major keys:   I-ii-iii-IV-V-vi-vii° The larger Roman Numerals represent major chords, while the smaller ones represent minor chords. The 7th chord at the end with the circle represents a diminished chord. Here’s what natural minor keys look like:   i-ii°-III-iv-v-VI-VII Roman Numeral analysis is meant to help musicians understand the relationships between chords, and we... Read More

What is 'Concert Pitch'?

...topic here. In terms of the content of this article, chromatcism was not always possible on instruments. A great example is the flute. Consider the history of the flute. For a long time, flutes were diatonic instruments in many cultures. To play in a different key, you would need to play a different flute. But, now it is possible to pitch every instrument to C. The technology exists. Why don’t we simply change every instrument to a non-transposing instrument? Hopefully this hypothetical question sounds completely ridiculous to you. There are many reasons why this wouldn’t be plausible. Technically, it would be possible, but it wouldn’t be ... Read More

The Kodály Approach – More than Hand Signs

...Kodály inspired classrooms. Like any good educator, Kodály inspired music teachers use a great deal of tools that aid in music teaching and learning. In addition to solfege syllables, rhythm syllables (like “ta” and “ti-ti”) are an important tool to promote music literacy. There are two main types of rhythm syllables that are used in the music classroom. The first is a system based on note value. An example of this system would be the syllables developed by Chevé. In this system, the quarter note is “ta”, the eighth note “ti,” etc., no matter where the note is placed in ... Read More
