Marcos B

Instruments: Piano Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Nothing compares to the feeling you get when you see your pupils happily growing and accomplishing every goal they set up for themselves. Since everyone is unique and works at their own pace, I don't think it's fair to approach every student the same way. It is of paramount importance that instructors not only pay close attention to their student's progress, but also their lack of progress in whatever areas they may be struggling in. Read More

Jacob S

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone

For beginning brass players I generally start out with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements series of books. After going through that, with some other material on the side, such as performance pieces, etc, they would progress to the Arban book (at around high school age for the student who began in sixth grade, as I did). For piano, I much prefer starting out with basic fundamentals, but not to any specific method, in contrast to brass. Read More

Haeyoon S

Instruments: Piano Cello

Haeyoon's lesson style is adhered to each students' needs, not following just one single formula for all. She recognizes the needs that each individual may have and works with each student and, if needed, their parents, to provide the best experience and enhancement in learning as possible. She incorporates all aspects of music (performance, melodic and harmonic importance, rhythm, etc.) to provide a complete musical education while making the lessons enjoyable and understandable.

Libby S

Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Clarinet

Libby has a variety of styles, and methods appropriate for, or that the student will like according to his/her interests. I tell students about various brands and styles of the instrument, and products.. I use music books that the students can buy at the music store. Then I find other music at the student's level that will help them progress to a new level, or stay at the same level if they so desire. Read More

Dawn S

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

I began teaching piano when I was in eighth grade, teaching beginners. During my undergraduate years, I maintained a full private studio of beginning to intermediate students, and while living in Germany, I taught piano and voice at a private German music studio and in my home. The age range of my students has spanned from five to 70, and I enjoy teaching all levels of students. I have taught piano, voice, and composition to college level music majors. Read More

Ryan E

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Ukulele Recorder Orchestral Percussion Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For beginning students, I strive to teach the basics of music theory while learning the fundamentals of producing characteristic tone on their instrument. I typically start by working through the Essential Elements method book and introduce solos, ensembles, and orchestral excerps when appropriate. If the student is a part of a school or community ensemble, I work with the student on any pieces that their ensemble is preparing for performance. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Jacob S

Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet Oboe

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session consist of a light warm up maybe 5 to 10 minutes. Working on some scales. Reviewing last weeks lessons. Then we start breaking down the problem areas and working them out measure by measure. I like to watch my students while the play very closely to pick up any technique issues. I like to ask them did they have any problem with the lesson, there may be something they didn't quite understand. I like to finish all lessons with playing a duet and then reviewing what's going to be on next weeks lesson.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I don't have a music a degree in any music field. There are many great professional players who have no degree whatsoever. I'd like to think my degree comes from 20 years as military musician and another 18 years of playing 5 and 6 nights a week in restaurants, private parties, corporate events, and weddings. I have studied with many wonderful instructors whose knowledge is part of everything I do when it comes to performing. If I had to choose a degree I thing it would be composition, I love arranging music for small ensembles.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Choosing method books is a very subjective thing kind of like choosing headphones or loud speakers. Everyone swears theirs is the best. There some standards though. For brass, Arbans book. Woodwinds there are too many to mention. I guess for beginners Essential Elements is a good start because all of the different instrument books work together like a musical suite. Very smart idea. For saxophone I like Klose daily exercises and the universal sax method book. For clarinet Klose method. Its like the clarinet bible. The exercise in there go through every alternate fingering you could thing of for clarinet. Very practical For oboe Vade Mecum for Oboe and Barrett for Oboe. I like the Barrett because it has tons of duets in the back of the book for a treble clef instrument and a bass clef instrument so you can do oboe bassoon duets.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on any instrument is technique. That means different things to different instruments. If you play the Horn in F you might have a problem mastering the overtone series. On trumpet it may be the range. On trombone the different positions. On tuba just having enough air to make the instrument sound full. Most woodwinds it comes down to runs. Having fluid scales is a must especially for upper winds like flute and clarinet. Oboe's main thing to master is the tone because most oboe solos are slow and all about the tone of the instrument. With saxophone it's style, if you're an alto player everyone wants that Sanborn sound, if you're playing tenor gotta sound like Brecker.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm.
