Many of my students have gone on to be very successful in youth orchestras, school programs, and music conservatories. During my senior year at university, I had the opportunity to serve as a faculty member for my university's pre-college music program.

Instruments: Piano

I have been playing the piano for 10 years, but have been involved in the musical institution for much longer than that. I have been shaping minds young and old in piano technique and music theory for the last seven years. And, I believe I am an ideal teacher for anyone just starting out to those who are trying to continue from where they left off. I have been afforded the pleasure of performing in many of my University's recitals and concerts as a solo pianist and ensemble piece. Read More

DAVID W

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ

I approach each student knowing that every student is unique and so is their learning style. While the information that is delivered to each student remains the same, the manner in which I teach each student varies widely. I try to foster the best student-teacher relationship possible in order to gain the confidence and trust of both the student and their families. I also have much experience teaching students with unique characteristics such as ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, Asperger's, etc. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Laura R

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Recorder Music Keyboard

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I earned a lot of outstanding awards growing up. Including outstanding performance in Jazz Trumpet at a Six Flags festival. Region, Area bands, A character education program I wrote and published sold into 400 plus elem schools nation wide. 1997-

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the trumpet is playing high notes, triple C's and keeping your embouchure just right. Keeping the space needed to send the air through the mouthpiece. The hardest thing to master on the piano is dexterity, speed in playing.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing effectively is slowing down and working through each piece of music note by note. If their is a missed note than that note must be found. Once found student should play the phrase at least 5 times without mistake, then go back and put it in the piece of music. After 5 non mistakes through the mistaken wrong note should disappear. Most beginning students will try to play by ear. A teacher can always tell when the student is grasping and not getting it. If a student rushes through practice it will be evident in the next lesson. Well practice can be 10 min. to 30 min. depending on the mind set of the one practicing.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My dad, was a band director. Therefore I watched him play trumpet I wanted to too.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My dad played the trumpet, he was a band director. Therefore I picked up the trumpet in Kindergarten after watching him play it for all my life. I also remember my mother playing the piano for her school musicals for elem. school. I became an elem music teacher and I had to use the piano in my own classroom musicals.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
After teaching for 25 years plus I have learned that if a child is ready for lessons then it should be their idea, because this will encourage self motivation. Practice if the key to playing the piano or any other instrument. If the child is unwilling to sit down and go over what was taught at the previous lesson, then the child is most definitely not ready to take lessons. My rule of thumb is if the child knows their ABC's and can count to ten then anyone can learn music, just have a willingness to learn and spend time and practice.

When will I start to see results?
You will start to see results every time you pick up your instrument. Instruments have to be practiced in order to improve.

...more attention than others, consider investing a little money into a Facebook ad campaign focused there. This will help further your momentum in a city and increase your chances of people coming out to see you.   Tour Tips #9: Keep your tours short   In my opinion, it’s better for a band to embark on multiple short tour rather than long ones.

How To Tune A Guitar

...Every year, millions of people set out to learn how to play the guitar, but sadly many of those people never fulfill their goal of learning how to play this incredible instrument. Why? For younger students especially, figuring out how to tune a guitar is a difficult skill that can be incredibly difficult to practice and master. Without being properly tuned, a guitar cannot be played correctly.   Compared to other common instruments like the saxophone or even a drum set, the guitar is a relatively easy instrument to pick up. The concept of pressing down strings hard enough to ... Read More

The Bass Trumpet- A Brief Overview

The confusion between the two can also be blamed on some modern instrument manufacturers who make versions of the bass trumpet that are nothing more than valve trombone tubing bent in a different shape.   Think of it this way: if you buy a cheap model of a bass trumpet, you are likely getting a re-fitted valve trombone (and there isn’t necessarily anything wrong with that).   The Bass Trumpet’s Origins While the modern bass ...

The Kodály Approach – More than Hand Signs

...way to think about a sequential approach. Essentially, each concept builds upon one another, with early learning serving as the foundation for more complex concepts. Think of it in terms of a staircase: without the bottom step, you would not have a place to put the second, and so on and so forth. Music education functions very much the same way. Let’s look at an example. In a Kodály inspired sequence, one of the very first concepts introduced in Kindergarten is “steady beat.” It is the fundamental musical concept by which all other music learning is built upon. Once a ... Read More
