I remember teaching my first lesson about 15 years ago. I was very nervous! However it was smooth sailing after that. I grew up attending Harmony Road Music School, and they recently offered me a job, but I passed on it to focus more on my own lesson practice. I've worked for Beacock Music, Margie's Music School, and subbed at others, as well as had many of my students for 10+ years. Read More

Hi, My name is Will. I love working with beginner students as well as those who have already developed their musical skills. I'm an easy-going person who feels that music should be enjoyed, but also encourages students to challenge themselves and reach for their highest potential. I have found that when students like the pieces they are playing, they will put more effort into learning them and therefore will develop their skills more quickly and completely. Read More

I have studied piano privately for almost 10 years. My first experience teaching piano was in high-school, when I taught after school lessons. Since then I've had the opportunity to absorb the teaching methods of many excellent instructors. My teaching approach continues to be influenced by these teachers. For example, I have found that my classical training has helped me approach all genres and styles of music. As I continue to teach and learn in different musical territories, I constantly return to the fundamentals. Read More

Overall my work is focused on discovering music with the students and facing hurdles as we go. For voice I often let the student dictate the repertoire and support them with good technical basis. My students love a variety of singing, soft jazzy or loud and belty. For piano i prefer to use the Faber methods. I have been teaching students up to level 3. For guitar I can use hal leonard or Alfreds but the Alfreds seems to move faster. Read More

I have been lucky to perform more times than I can recall in my native Portland and the greater Pacific NW region. I continue to play regularly in a variety of genres and venues, and am continually seeking new projects and new connections with other musicians. With my students, I seek to enlighten their minds to the same heights, aiding them in building routine and developing critical thinking skills, as well as bequeathing them the same artistic sensibilities that I inherited during my formal music education.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session for instrumental lessons with your child typically follows a structured routine to help them develop their skills effectively. Here's a general outline of what a practice session looks like:
1. Warm-up: We usually start with a warm-up exercise to get your child's fingers and muscles ready for playing. This can include finger exercises, scales, or simple melodies to loosen up and improve finger dexterity.
2. Review: We'll spend some time reviewing the material from the previous lesson. This helps reinforce what they've learned and ensures they're building on a solid foundation.
3. New Material: Next, we'll introduce new concepts or techniques. This could involve learning a new piece of music, practicing specific technical exercises, or focusing on particular aspects of playing, such as dynamics, articulation, or timing.
4. Repetition and Technique: Repetition is key to improvement, so we'll work on sections of the music that need extra attention. We'll also focus on specific techniques and skills related to the instrument, like bowing techniques for string instruments or breath control for wind instruments.
5. Interpretation and Musicality: We'll explore the musicality of the piece, discussing elements like phrasing, dynamics, and expression. This helps your child bring their own personality and emotion to the music they're playing.
6. Sight-reading and Ear Training: To develop a well-rounded musician, we'll often include sight-reading exercises and ear training to improve their ability to read and interpret music on their own.
7. Performance Practice: Preparing for performances is an essential part of music education. We'll dedicate some time to practice performing the piece with confidence and precision.
8. Q&A and Feedback: Throughout the session, your child is encouraged to ask questions and seek clarification on any challenges they're facing. I'll provide constructive feedback to help them improve.
9. Goal Setting: We'll discuss short-term and long-term goals for your child's musical development. Setting achievable milestones can motivate them to practice consistently.
10. Cool Down: We'll finish the practice session with some relaxation exercises and a recap of what they've accomplished. This helps reinforce the positive aspects of their practice and sets a positive tone for their next session.
It's important to note that the duration and intensity of practice sessions may vary depending on your child's age, skill level, and individual goals. Regular, focused practice is essential for progress, and I'll work with your child to tailor their practice routine to their specific needs and abilities.
