The skill level of my students range from Beginner to Intermediate. For Piano Students: My beginner students start with the Bastien Piano Basic Method Books.

Both passionate and laid back, ambitious and realistic, I have found great success through having an open mind and grateful spirit in this crazy music business. My friends and colleagues have described me as consistently positive, easy to get to know, and warm hearted. I hold two degrees in vocal performance, and consider the countless hours I've spent teaching in the studio and performing on stage to be my greatest assets. Read More

Patrick M

Instruments: Piano Trombone

My teaching style is flexible. One of my teachers asked me up front how hard I wanted him to be on me and thats something we would go over as well. Its important I learn the personality and learning style of the student. Its important to establish a trust and understanding so as not to take criticisms personally so that we can develop weaknesses and build on strengths. Every musician has different strengths and weaknesses my goal is to help them achieve their best musical self to grow their confidence and be as fully realized as possible. Read More

Fiona C

Instruments: Piano Voice

Since my teaching philosophy is that every piano lesson should be fun, I tailor each lesson according to the student's age and interests. For young beginners, I choose method books that contain fun songs. I also teach music theory through story telling. For older students, I tailor each lesson according to their interests.However, I encourage them to learn Classical music, so that students develop good musicality. My goal is that all my students enjoy music for the rest of their lives. Read More

Kevin R

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Double Bass

For beggining students and especially children I will start with books such as the Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has graped the fundamentals of musical theory and scales , we will begin to introduce a solo repertoire appropriate for skill set and age. For adults I simply try to find what the studenet is interested in, and guide my instruction accordinglu to keep the lessons fun and engaging, no matter their ability level! Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Amy P

Instruments: Violin Viola Recorder Fiddle

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I encourage my students to actively listen and take notes in their lessons so that they know exactly what to practice and how to practice it. If they need me to write down a detailed list of what skill they worked on and how to practice it, I am happy to do so in a notebook, and I will give them the notes after their lesson is over. I can also write some notes in their music if necessary.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My parents were both musicians, and they started me on violin when I was five. However, I was not really inspired to pursue music as a career until I got to college. My college professor was extremely good at explaining technical concepts, and I still incorporate his principles to this day when I teach. Since my dad was principal violist of the Chicago Symphony for several years, I was inspired to continue music after hearing the orchestra perform on a regular basis.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instrument because my parents both were violin and viola players. My father was principal violist of the Chicago Symphony, and my mother was a music educator (specialized in orchestra teaching at elementary and middle schools).

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of having the opportunity to perform the violin solo of Ein Heldenleben by Richard Strauss with the Midwest Young Artists Symphony Orchestra when I was in high school. This performance can be found on Youtube. I am also proud of performing the second viola part of Bach's Brandenburg Number 6 alongside my college viola professor at a University of Michigan faculty recital. I also am grateful for all of the solo opportunities I received by performing with the Chicago Chamber Orchestra. My recorder solo highlights include performing with Music of the Baroque and giving the US premiere of Sir Malcolm Arnold's Recorder Concerto.

When will I start to see results?
It depends on what you refer to as results. After one lesson with me, you will see a little bit of progress, but it will most likely take many lessons over several years to play and perform at a higher level. The more often you take lessons and devote some time to reinforce concepts discussed on your own time, the faster you will see improvement on your instrument.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will know if your child is ready to start lessons if they tell you that they are really interested in learning the instrument and learning music. If they really do not express interest, I would recommend waiting until they decide for themself that they want to put in the time and effort to learn.

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. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
