Orlando M

Instruments: Piano Violin

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace with the encouragement of the teacher to encourage their musical goals with a consistent desire to progress. No two teachers teach in the same way, just as no two students will learn in the same way. A teachers style is based on their educational philosophy. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Classical Guitar

We start with fundamentals of music theory, ear training, and composition. We find the songs and styles you want to learn and then make them make sense, through small assignments, that build into the finished product. If you can see the shapes on the guitar and subdivide the beat into equal parts, we can start to play the tunes you like. I a do not believe in slow progress. i believe you can learn and improve consistently, while having fun. Read More

Michael S

Instruments: Piano

I am a unique teacher who realizes that not every student is the same, or wants to learn the same type of music in the same way. I almost consider myself more of a COACH than a teacher. Yes, I do teach, and I am classically trained. However, I am more suited for the beginning/intermediate/late intermediate student (13 years of age or older) who wants to learn NEW ways of playing and performing a variety of music. Read More

I have been a private voice/piano instructor for the past 31 consecutive years in my home studio. Read More

Karen M

Instruments: Piano Recorder Music

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
- Is your child interested in music? A lot of this will depend on the exposure and enjoyment they have had with the music in their lives up to this point. - Can they pay attention for at least 5 minutes? Do note that their attention spans will increase as they continue to practice. - Are they willing to commit to at least 30 minutes practice every day? Talk to them! Especially as they get older, you will want to do this. - If they can already read, it will be easier, though I've had many students that have learned to read music first. - Are You ready to work with them? All ages need at least some parent attention, the younger they are the more you will need to work directly with them, full time.

When will I start to see results?
This question can be very variable. The standard is 7 years to mastery. You should be prepared to stick it out. However, you should see a few things on the first day. Aside from that, a great deal depends on how much they practice and how Effectively they practice. If the practicing is sloppy or haphazard, without taking the time to check all the details first and then put it together using the method mentioned above for working a piece up, they may never fully work a given piece up. Music is full of patterns. The students need to learn to see and hear them. Learning the music 1 step at a time allows this. Typically 2 to 8 months to be able to play very simple Christmas songs using standard notation, depending on age and practice habits.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
1 - Look the piece over, very well. Looking for patterns and the overall shape of the music. Check all basic details, such as: Clefs, Key Signature, Time Signature and any directions on how the music should be played. 2) Take it apart. Look for sticky spots that might give you trouble. Decide how you will handle it and then practice them. 3) All practice should include: Making sure that you know all the letters, Clapping and then Tapping the rhythms out, Playing hands alone first and Then hands together. Practice SLOWLY to start and then very gradually increase the tempo until you are at full speed. Also, start by practicing section by section. It's a much more efficient and effective way to learn.

There is plenty of one-on-one between the student and teacher, but the parent is expected to help when the teacher is not there – for example, during home practice sessions. The beauty of this system is that the child is used to having observers close by at all times. Will there ever be a time when the child works on his music without supervision? Certainly, especially as the child grows and matures. But when it is ‘normal’ to have a group around you as you play, especially when the child is young, this is the first step in preparing the ...

When a drum is struck with the stick, generally speaking, it is the side of the bead of the stick that should be making contact with the drum head, as in this illustration: If a drum is too steeply angled, it will result in the tip of the bead striking the drum, as shown here: This is likely to lead to poor tone production, an increase in risk of damage to the drum head (as seen in ...
