Aleksandr T

Instruments: Piano

My teaching experience began in 2010, I have taught children from the age of six to eighteen, beginners to advanced players. I liked to focus on developing: 1) Right relaxed hand/fingers 2 ) Playing with separate hands (to master non legato and then legato 3) To master how to produce beautiful tones and intonation by touching keys 4) Experience different styles of music (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modern) Read More

Suzanne G

Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard

In addition to my current work as an accompanist, I've been teaching piano for 20+ years, and I love partnering with students to help them grow musically and realize their dreams. Some of my students have gone on to be professionals or teachers, and some are playing the music they love with their friends. Others are playing in their churches or in bands, and some play simply for personal enjoyment. My lesson focus depends on the student goals, but I will always include elements of theory, as it facilitates a deeper understanding of the music, allowing students the capability of creating their own music and playing in many different styles.

Deborah H

Instruments: Piano Voice

I am a fast paced, energetic, positive-reinforcement kind of teacher. I like lessons to be fun and productive no matter the ability level. It is my belief that EVERYONE can sing, you just have to practice. A typical lesson involves a 10-15 minute warm-up, depending on the length of the lesson. That is followed by working on the songs that a student has prepared for the week. I like to work on a variety of songs to prevent boredom and frustration if a song is proving to be difficult on a particular day. Read More

Justin B

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet

There are lots of great teaching tools and methods available, and once I have an understanding of a student's current ability level and what they want to work on, I can make recommendations. For wind players, Essential Elements provides a good way to get started on an instrument. I look for ways to incorporate different styles of music from classical to jazz to pop music in addition to the important fundamentals you will learn from a method book. Read More

Dr. Kathleen L

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Fiddle

Kathleen utilizes the Suzuki, Galamian, and Flesch method systems, as well as integrating music theory and aural skills into every lesson. When teaching classical violin and piano, she emphasizes listening skills and applied theory to help develop strong sight-reading skills. In fiddle lessons, she creates practice videos and audio files for students to practice along with in between lessons, incorporating use of the metronome to increase speed and rhythmic stability.

Rory K

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I will always prefer to have hour-long lessons with my students. I feel this length of time gives both the student and the teacher the best chance of having a successful lesson each time they meet. Some may say its a high bar to meet for every lesson, every week, but I accept nothing less from myself and hold high expectations for my students in the hopes they meet them. Read More

Jack R

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Conga Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Acoustic Guitar

I encourage students to focus on their personal expression and growth as a musician. While I select pieces for students based on their skill level and ability to take challenges effectively, students are given the freedom to browse their own musical library or lexicon to perform music they enjoy or is moving to them. Since many modern songs can be found without sheet music or proper notation for each instrument, I arrange pieces and songs for students' instruments as close to the recorded version as possible.

Teacher In Spotlight

Andreas D

Instruments: Violin Viola

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Certainly! I started out playing the violin as a child, just like many students do. It's a wonderful instrument that I enjoyed playing for many years. However, as I continued to explore the world of classical music, I became more and more fascinated by the rich and warm tones of the viola. I was drawn to its unique sound and the unique role it plays in orchestras and chamber music ensembles. So, I decided to give the viola a try, and I instantly fell in love with it. The transition from violin to viola was a natural one for me because many of the skills and techniques I had developed on the violin were transferable to the viola. It allowed me to explore a different range and timbre of music, and I found it to be a rewarding and fulfilling experience. I believe that having experience with both the violin and the viola allows me to provide a more comprehensive and well-rounded education to my students. It also allows me to better understand and address the unique challenges and opportunities that each instrument presents. So, while I started with the violin, my journey into playing the viola was a decision driven by my passion for music and my desire to share that passion with others, including your child.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes, music definitely runs in my family. I come from a rich musical background, and both of my parents have played significant roles in shaping my musical journey. My mother was a classical music teacher, and her passion for teaching and music was truly inspirational. She introduced me to the world of classical music at a young age, fostering my love for the violin and viola. Her dedication to her students and her deep understanding of classical music greatly influenced my own teaching style. On the other hand, my father was a conductor and a college professor of piano. His expertise in orchestral music and piano performance exposed me to a wide range of musical experiences. His guidance and insights into conducting techniques have been invaluable in my own musical development as well as in teaching my students. As for my brother, he is a talented musician, but he leans more towards the jazz genre. He plays a different instrument and has explored the world of improvisation and jazz theory. While our musical paths have diverged somewhat, we still share a deep appreciation for music and often find common ground in our musical discussions. So, in short, music is a fundamental part of our family heritage, and the love for classical music has been passed down through generations, thanks to the influence of my parents and the musical discussions and experiences shared with my brother.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I'm happy to share my journey with you and your child. Becoming a professional musician, especially in the classical field, is often a combination of gradual development and defining moments. For me, it was a bit of both. I started playing the violin and viola at a young age, just like your child. Initially, it was a hobby and a source of joy. I loved the sound of the instruments and enjoyed practicing and performing. As I continued to study and grow as a musician, there were moments along the way that solidified my passion. One of those defining moments was when I had the opportunity to perform with a professional orchestra as a young student. The experience of playing alongside seasoned musicians and making beautiful music together was incredibly inspiring. It showed me the possibilities of what I could achieve if I pursued a career in music. Another important factor in my decision was the guidance and support of my parents, music teachers and mentors. They saw my potential and encouraged me to continue my studies, guiding me through the rigorous training required to become a professional musician. So, while my love for music started early and grew gradually, it was these moments and the influence of my mother and father, and my mentors that helped me make the decision to pursue a career in classical music. It's a journey that requires dedication, passion, and continuous learning, and I'm excited to be a part of your child's musical education as they embark on their own unique path in the world of classical violin and viola.
