Janet N

Instruments: Piano Voice

I absolutely love watching a student who has tried to understand a concept suddenly light up, smile, and say, "Oh, now I get it!" I believe that a teacher should try a variety of ways to help a student understand and "own" their musical knowledge. I set high standards for my students, starting where they are and encourgaing them to go beyond what they think is their personal best. I have students write goal and wish lists down throughout the year, setting small, reachable goals and then larger goals that may take longer to reach. Read More

Rich E

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet

I have been playing music for as long as I can remember and teaching it since high school. In 2012, I graduated from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA with a Bachelors degree in Music Education with a dual focus in Jazz Studies. During that time, I had the chance to perform with artist like Branford Marsalis, Benny Golson, Nicolas Peyton and the renowned Village Vanguard Jazz Orchestra. After graduating, I moved to Arizona to begin working as a band and general music teacher in the Phoenix area. Read More

Mengyu L

Instruments: Piano

The most important thing for me is to see my students could find their favorite pieces and develop a passion for music, that's the basis for them to progress at their pace. Also, I will help to set up weekly goals for my students, to encourage them to arrange their practice. So during that process, they will recognize the importance of accomplishments and encouragements to keep their passion for music, to desire to learn more and make more progress on the path.

Lori W

Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard

I structure my lessons so that each student knows exactly what to expect each week. We begin with Warmups, Scales, Technique, Sight-reading in piano and/or voice. Then we move onto the literature, checking posture for both Voice and Piano. We recap, at the end of each lesson, so that any questions may be answered. We set goals for rehearsals, memorization, study requirements. I record vocal exercises, or accompaniment tracks for the student so that they are able to practice more efficiently. Read More

Clarence G

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Keyboard

Most of my students (who don't already know) start off with basic theory (Major Scale & Major and Minor Chord Formulas). Whatever their ultimate goal for learning would determine where I would take it from there. If your goal is to play one song for your significant other we can do just that. If your goal is to perform we can cater to that as well. Maybe you're goal is to learn enough to write your own songs. Read More

Orlando M

Instruments: Piano Violin

For beginning students who are children,I combined the Essential Elements for strings along with the Suzuki Method. I will also introduced the solo repertoire appropriate for scholarships and symphony membership. I also provide materials that will enable individuals, and homogeneous/heterogeneous string groups to build the secure technique so vital to string players who want to express themselves musically. In short, this systematic approach developed by me will improve and be utilized equally well amongst the chosen student of achievement. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

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 ...
