Instruments: Piano Organ
George has been a private piano teacher for at least twelve years working with Naperville Music, Ascendo Piano in Fort Wayne, Indiana and has done student teaching in music education K-12 in the Baltimore County, Maryland area. In 1969, I was awarded a Board of Governors' Scholarship in piano with study under Herman Godes and William Nelson. While a piano student, I studied organ with Dr. Clyde English, former student of Marcel Dupre. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
My mindset when it comes to teaching is that if you are not having fun with music, then I am doing my job wrong. Everyone learns differently and wants to learn different styles of music. So each student gets a completely personalized lesson plan to fit their wants and needs. I encourage all my students to take things slow and to not get discouraged if they don’t get something right away. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I believe each person is uniquely different in this life and that goes for music too. For piano beginners, I like to use the standard Faber curriculum, if you're more advanced we can explore adding some more challenging books such as the Hanon scales, Junior Hanon for beginners, etc. I like to supplement core pieces with scales, technical books, and ad hoc assignments that I sometimes have students pick. For voice, it will very much depend on your goals and where you are at vocally, but my voice teaching style is very much grounded in healthy technique and learning about vocal pedagogy, no matter what genre of music you want to sing!

There are so many opportunities to be creative and there are also chances to not only enhance the knowledge of a student, but also to teach them how to appropriately deal with anything that comes their way. I also believe that if you are working in an educational environment whatsoever, you must be a positive role model. Students latch on so easily to adults, especially someone that they admire, so in order to guarantee their success later on in life, they must have the appropriate role models in which to do so.

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
I combine the technique, expression, and performance practices from my teaching line of musical masters with more modern teaching methods to give students a well-rounded music education. I cater each lesson to the individual needs and interests of the student, while giving them a strong technical foundation and fostering their love of music. I use scales, arpeggios, and other methods to help build technique. I also want the student to enjoy what they are performing, so I often ask the student if there are pieces they would like to learn and do my best to find an arrangement suitable to their level of difficulty.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have always been passionate about music and feel no greater joy than sharing this passion with my students and friends. I began playing guitar around 2003 while I was a freshman in high school. Throughout my high school years I have attended summer music camps in Green Bay, WI then at Berklee College of Music in Boston. After graduation I attended McNally Smith College of Music where I majored in Guitar Performance. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
During my undergrad, I have consistently taught private lessons as a part time violin instructor. After I moved to Madison, I had the chance to teach college students violin lessons and coach chamber groups in high schools through the outreach program at school. I strongly recommend students to practice every day even though it is only short amount of time. I have found if students get familiar with the instrument and learning materials, as a result, they would make good progress, feel motivate to continue to learn and enjoy playing the instruments.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
go over everything the teacher assigns, 3-4 times, daily. if that takes 10mins great! if it takes longer give the student less.
When learning a new element, initially, the brain is highly activated and performs synapses and usually can perform a3-4 more synapses. This is when learning and memory take place. When you go over it again in sequence, the brain is engaged, but if repeated too many times as in telling the student, "you must practice for .......minutes," the brain stops the synapses and the student may at that time be developing mistakes in the piece.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Typically, the student will express some type of interest in music. Oftentimes, the mother's intuition is correct.
The child will sing a lot, or if an instrument is available, they will play it often and at random times. Music in a public place may catch their attention. I've had a few students that the parents observed their child tapping their fingers.
Sometimes the child will exhibit traits that indicate a high intelligence yet communication skills are inadequate
They may draw a lot
They may exhibit bi-lateral difficulties, meaning the left-hand tries to perform right-hand commands
When will I start to see results?
All children learn differently, especially a child gifted in music. Some learn quickly and progress rapidly initially, some take much longer to learn and master new concepts and then apply that concept to another domain in the brain. A slower learning child does not mean that the child cannot get it. The teacher needs to be aware that the many many different aspects and elements of music are developed and established in many many different regions of the brain. each must be step-by-step developed and established. Then that information is transferred to the motor-sensory regions where everything is integrated.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had several uninspiring teachers and only one that inspired me to develop the depth of God-given talent in me. The un-inspiring teachers were critical and negative and we studied mediocre music. I have perfect pitch si i could read music but played everything "by ear". I was completely unaware that I was not reading the music score! I learned by listening and watching my teacher's hands. That was my first clue that one method of instruction fits all. It was my first step on learning about the brain and music.
