Elizabeth S

Instruments: Piano

For my beginner students who are children I typically start out with either Hal Leonard or Fabre lesson books to learn all the very important foundational keys in music. As I notice they are grasping the concepts and able to apply them I then like to find outside resources such as sheet music, classical, pop to allow them to enjoy and discover what they love most. When it comes to my beginner adult students I usually start them off in the Fabre adult beginner book. Read More

Emily B

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola

I have been teaching privately since 2006 and in public schools since 2011.  I have high expectations of my students and encourage them to have fun in their lessons.  As my students grow, I tailor their repertoire to fit their needs and interests.  I teach child and adult students.  It's never too late to learn!  Read More

Dennis Wayne H

Instruments: Piano

Alfred Publishing piano courses (both older and newer), Faber and Faber, Bastien, Edna Mae Burnam, and the Hal Leonard course have all been among my pre-published methods that I have used over the years. I have also adopted some technic content from elsewhere. For example, the Zion Conservatory of Music, where I taught from 2004 to 2018, uses a couple of different customized scale patterns for first- and second-year students. A book I have used with intermediate students is a Conus Russian piano method edited by James and Susan McKeever, who taught the Parkside piano pedagogy courses. Read More

Richard M

Instruments: Piano

For beginning students under the age of 10, I start with the beginning John Thompson book. Depending on the type of music the students want to play I will instruct them on more advance lessons that I learned from. Practically all of my lessons are taught from the John Thompson book. Read More

Caroline R

Instruments: Piano Flute Keyboard

I have been teaching private piano lessons for almost ten years and flute for one. I love being able to work with students of all ages :) I worked for a time as the events coordinator in a nursing home and got to use music as therapy and even teach some of the senior residents! I am currently the basket ball pep band director for UW - Mikwaukee, which puts a lot of energy and fun in the way I approach music directing and teaching. Read More

Kari K

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Viola

I have been called the female Jack Black by many of my former and current students. So I do believe you could say that I am fun, I make things comfortable and provide a great environment to learn, but then I can also truly be serious and strict when it comes to practicing and performing. Expectations: Practice DAILY. Be ready for each lesson. Be willing to communicate with me about things you do not understand. Read More

I have been teaching for the past 20 years with both school age student's as well as adults in individual and group settings. Did projects such as Music to My Ears project which won an international award.

Teacher In Spotlight

Lora M

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
All kids are different, I had students who started in 4yo, but I would say for most kids 6yo is the best time to start paying piano.

When will I start to see results?
I would say first results you have to see from first lessons. Result is if your child would like to get back to lesson, if you child sit and play without your reminders...

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes , I did have a teacher who inspired me to go into music. It was my elementary music school teacher. She never forced me to do something, always was very patient and wise.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I choose piano because this instrument has sound as orchestra. Piano does need support - accompaniment instruments. I guess that Piano by itself is orchestra in good hands!!

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My accomplishments is my students, taking places at competitions, simply enjoying to play new piece, having fun to perform at Christmas recital, picking very first familiar tunes:)

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes, I have a lot students who took places at competitions. They succeeded because several points connected, like practice, patience, persistence , family support, teacher's correct approach and of course drop of genius!

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master in any way is to be very persistent , keep positive way of thinking, do not give up, May the goal and try to reach it !

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes, I do have several my favorite teaching methods books, but its not my choice but my students just show interest to one type of the books and trying to to avoid another one.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Normal practice session has to consist of several part like technique part ( scales, chords, arpeggios..), working on at least two songs, and 5-7 minutes theory exercises as a study glossary, aural skills, sight reading...

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Yes, I do have Master Music Degree in Performance, Education and Theory. I choose those three branches of music education because of successful studying piano consist of great lesson/theory support for better understanding/concert performance.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I do not have dream piece, because all mu dreams already came true!! Everything what I wanted to perform I did it. Like G.Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue, F.Chopin Scherzo #2, P. Tchaikovsky Concerto for Piano and Orchestra. F. Lizst Sospiro and many more...

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I do not see myself in another field. I like my job, it is not just source of income but my inspiration, my hobby, my joy of life.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I like to play different styles , it depends on composition, but of course my most favorite is Romantic Style with a lot of Chopin, Lizst, Mendelssohn and Rachmaninoff

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I am playing one instrument -piano, and trying to do my best to be perfect in my choice. Even if I would play different instrument piano would be my favorite>

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My parents do not play piano but my daughter is great musician. I managed to instill a love to music. She is not a teacher but music is her hobby.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was gradual decision. Even after very solid, 17 years of piano education I was looking for my own approach in teaching. And it took not one year.

...seventh scale degrees that are lowered down half a step. Adding a blue note to a pentatonic scale creates a pentatonic blues scale. Here’s an example in the key of C major:     Developed around the same time as ragtime, blues piano styles are built on sparseness, a lyrical approach to melody and improvisation. Many blues piano pieces were constructed using a song form called the 12-bar blues. The 12-bar blues is a simple chord progression using the 1, 4 and 5 chords in major and minor keys.

...fundamentals that can help someone to play by ear.     Listening Vs. Reading   The main difference between reading music and playing by ear is process.

For example, once you are happy with the sound of all of the drums’ tracks together, you can combine them onto a stem and adjust the drums as a whole. Likewise you can group together every vocal track, guitar track, or only some of each.   It’s a common, and very helpful, practice to use many different speakers of different qualities and sizes throughout the mixing process. Every set of speakers will impart their own mark on a recording, and listening to the ... Read More

Intro to Music Theory with Emphasis on Guitar: Modes and Scales

...D D# E F = Minor 3rd   Modes Now that we know the difference between major and minor keys, and that scales consist of seven notes, we can start to talk about modes. Essentially, modes are the same 7 notes of a scale, but start on a different root note so that the following pattern emphasizes a certain tone or feeling (variations on major or minor). If we were to play a C scale starting on the root note C, it would be a C Major scale, also known as Ionian.     If you were to play a C scale starting on D, it ... Read More

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.
