Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Fiddle Music Keyboard
I have been teaching private lessons since High School, and have maintained a home studio ever since. I have taught young students of all ages in one-on-one settings in my studio, as well as in classroom settings as a group strings teacher and as an orchestra and general music teacher at a K-8 charter school. I bring with me years of experience in bringing music to life for kindergarteners, teenagers, and everyone in-between (I enjoy teaching adults, too)! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums
More than anything music should be fun. The greatest musicians are the ones who enjoy playing music even when they're just practicing. I like to teach in a way that involves asking the student questions in order to get them to figure out the answer for themself, rather than just lecturing the whole time while they start daydreaming! This way the student is more involved in the learning process and it can make their time spent learning an instrument more worth it. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I'm an energetic and exciting teacher who loves helping students discover their potential in music. In 2014, I graduaded from Coker College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Performance with a Concentration in Musical Theater. I have been performaning in theatrical productions and show cases for over eight years now. In college I was aprat of every major production whether is was performing, directing or writing. Some of my favorite roles include, Ilsa from Spring Awakening, Snoopy from You're a Good Man Chralie Brown, and Van's Sister from Gods Sees Dog. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I started teaching piano 5 years ago. I love teaching and I love kids. Encouraging the kids to practice regularly at home is important. But also HOW to practice at home is as equally as important. Passion is contagious and I hope that my students can follow my passion. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I sometimes fill in teaching in a theater class for vocals and guitar. My teaching experience goes back to my days trying to show my friends and family how to play a chord. I love composing my original material and I am always looking to teach new students! I have worked with children for almost ten years, but any age group is fine! I have some teaching experience, but mainly through Psychology. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The most challenging part of becoming a great musician is to tell a story through the music you create while playing. I encourage my students to create a narrative which they want to express when playing music.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For most of my brass students, except for French Horn, I use the Rubank Method to start, then the Kopprasch 60 selected Studies which is a great method for technical and musical mastery. For my Horn Students I start with the Pottag-Hovey method and then the Kopprasch--this was the method my teacher used when I was a teenager starting out on the Horn. For my Piano students I start with the Music Tree which is a visual based method and starts with the black keys, and they are easily recognizable on the keyboard. Soon after starting--depending on the age of the student--I use in parallel the Dozen a Day series. I use a lot of my own exercises and routines with my students which I often tweak for the needs of each individual student. I also have all of my students work on performance pieces which they can use for Festival and my annual recital where each students perform a solo and also in an ensemble piece which usually arrange for the group so that each student has a part which challenging, but within their reach at their current level. All of my students play scales and arpeggios and usually can play all major and minor scales within about 2 years. Playing scales is how one "learns" their instrument!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
For Piano students warm ups start with scales and arpeggios--once a student get to that level. this can be 2-10 minutes depending on the level of the student. Then work on any new scales and/or arpeggios and then any routines I have given them 3-7 minutes. This is followed by practicing the exercises from whatever method they are using, followed by the performance piece they are working on. I encourage students to practice every day. If they are short on time a short warm-up 2-5 minutes is much better than no playing at all. At least 3 day a week students should practice for 20-40 minutes.
For brass students Students should always buzz the mouthpiece for 20 - 60 seconds--or more. In the first 30 seconds of playing they should reach to both the top and bottom of their range with either scales or arpeggios. this is followed some mastered scales and arpeggios. The warm-up should be 5-10 minutes total. The rest is the same as the piano students.
