Esther Y

Instruments: Piano

From my childhood, I had a desire to take piano lessons. My parents were not able to provide the lessons so I delivered newspapers to pay for the tuition. The amount of income does not cover fully for the tuition but I never gave up. I sometimes practice on my own without lessons, I was able to play all hymn songs regardless key signatures so I was able to play as accompanist at church in age of 12 years old. Read More

James S

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Trumpet Recorder Fiddle

My goal is always to take students where they are: beginning, intermediate or advanced and help them discover and develop their own love of music. I do this through introducing music that develops their skill and gives them the satisfaction of playing music that they enjoy. It is not only about playing scales and such but learning to play musically so that people they may play for in the future will enjoy listening to them and they will enjoy sharing what they have learned.

Instruments: Piano Drums Latin Percussion

I love to teach cause I loved the teachers I had. What they played, what they taught me and what they said. And that's my approach. Music is not just notes. Music is an experience, a fun one. Technique, styles, reading, rudiments, playing with the click, tempo exercises, coordination,...All ages and specific inquires are welcome! My goal is you to have good times playing! Both piano and drums students I offer the possibility of playing along with the student to make it a lot of fun and richer! Read More

When will I start to see results?
Results can be seen within a week of practice. Depending on what instrument we study together, you will be humming along to songs on the radio, tapping your hands and feet to the radio, or playing piano on park benches (assuming you're a beginner). If you're an intermediate student, you can expect to see signs of growth on your instrument within 1 - 2 lessons. If you keep with your practice routine, your chops (muscles) will grow, and you will start to build muscle memory. After a year or so, the muscle memory will be deeply encoded, and you'll likely never forget the songs you've been practicing. If we study for more than a year, the possibilities are endless! Generally I like to reassess goals yearly, and we'll set bigger roadblocks for personal achievement. Realize there is likely nothing you CAN'T do with enough practice and determination.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
A child is ready to start lessons at any age, especially if they show an inclination or attraction to musical instruments, percussive toys, etc. Anybody who comes from a family of musicians can start any time, and probably will naturally grow into a musician based on exposure. If you have NO musicians in your household, music will likely be a new exercise, but one which will be a lifelong investment in your child's brain performance. Musicians have been proven to score better in areas of math and foreign language, because similar areas of the brain are engaged when practicing music. Music is, in essence, a language of rhythm. If you're curious about your child starting music lessons, buy them a small drum, have them sit at the piano or keyboard, or start them on a recorder or other small instrument. If they enjoy it, they're ready for lessons!

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice requires consistency. It's been shown that 5 minutes of practice daily can be more effective than a 1 hour session, 3 days a week. Jerry Garcia used to wake up at 5am every morning to play scales, and the proof is in the pudding with this ability to play any style, any time, and perform fluidly for hours at a time. Practice should be a labor of love, and one that you're motivated to engage in. My assigned practice will be geared towards songs you enjoy, songs we've selected together to work on, and something that pushes the envelope of your stylistic comfort zone.
