Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I beleive that the most important part of playing music is the joy of it. It is very important for me that the student will enjoy playing and enjoy coming to the lesson, and have a positive experience of making music. I can notate and arrange almost every song the student wants- and I do it! My students enjoy the privillage to learn every song they hear, with a special arrangement for the student's level and skills. Read More

Katie C

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Keyboard

I believe in teaching future string musicians there is only one way to make the best sound and teaching how to do this from the beginning. I want the students to understand how their instrument works by demystifying the mechanics. Once the student knows how to use the instrument, they can then discover the music and their voice in the music. For string instruments, I use the Suzuki books and Artistry in Strings method.

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard

When will I start to see results?
Similar to the question of when to start lessons, results are based on several factors before it really shows. If students' pacing are fast, and learning experiences are positive, the results would show earlier than later. However, it all depends on students' learning ability and the effectiveness of the communication between instructors and students. Better interactions during the lessons, practicing results should be more rewarding. What is ensured to the results is coming from once students follow the tips and instructional guidelines well from the lessons, the outcomes with positive results will arrive eventually.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first teacher while I was learning piano in my hometown is the person who encouraged me to go into music. Her teaching style is inspiring, and that's how I like to take piano lessons from the very beginning. She is a great person, not just dedicated during lessons, but also is willing to spend extra times chatting with me outside the lessons. Her teaching style is disciplined but not strict, at one point I've been told that I have to follow with the rulebook, on the other side she cares very much about my creative thinking ability.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Concentrating well, rather than mechanical practicing. Sitting in longer hours to practice would not help students play better. Practicing with appropriate strategies is important, as the instructor should emphasize the main focus and working aspects for students at each lesson. Regularly remind students their concurrent problems, letting them aware of what they need to work on, and what you would like to see in next lesson. If students have obstacles in practicing, or having a hard time to overcome the troubles, never discourage their ability, offering some effective suggestions and help them to overcome the difficulties. Once they gain the improvements from practicing, they will feel rewarding and like to practice more.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There is no specific timeline when to start lessons. It could be started from completely zero without even knowing how to play a single note. I personally would not recommend start piano lessons too early. I think the ideal beginning age is around 7, earlier or later within a year is alright. If kids have reluctant attitudes or being negative when they're connected to the piano lessons, I would encourage parents should not force them to take lessons yet, in contrast give them some pre knowledge and explain the potential fun facts of learning piano.

Most lead sheets don’t have bass lines or drum parts or harmonies, etc. Instrumental arrangement is open for the arranger or performers to decide.     Form: A lead sheet has a form in the sense that AABA or AAB or ABAC or ABA are forms. A lead sheet does not, however, have the performance form. If you play a lead sheet through, as written, one time, in a performance setting, that would be a pretty short performance.

If you are a musician that likes plenty of light, the bar of LEDs may be better for you than the single or double LED bulbs. Just make sure to get the kind that is battery operated, as these are easier to use – there is no power cord to plug in or trip other musicians.

You can play the chords in standard tuning, but the only way to get the lead line to sound right is by tuning down a half step (see the attached tab and sheet music for this lead line as well). The majority of the song is three chords: F#, B, C# then back to B (remember that if your guitar is tuned down a half step play these chords starting on the third fret). Each chord is played for a half measure. In the beginning of the song each chord is played as a full chord then for the chorus kick on the distortion and play ... Read More

...more forward motion through a bit of syncopation in the bass drum:     And speaking of syncopation, this now leads us to:   The Delayed Backbeat   Another common technique of rock drum beats is to delay one of the backbeats by an eighth note. I believe that we could also think of this as a derivation of the double backbeat- in other words, a double backbeat with the main stroke missing. I say this because things can get a little murky once we get into the concept of ‘ghost notes’. More on that in a later installment!   Here is an example that interestingly is ... Read More

Five Essential Drumming Styles for Every Drummer

...Different styles of music require different styles of playing, and this is no exception for drummers. A good drummer can be great in one particular genre, but a great drummer is well-versed in several different ones. Each style requires a different approach and possesses its own sense of rhythm and timekeeping. Here are five essential drumming styles for every drummer: 1.) Rock and Punk – these two are the most energetic genres for drummers. Players not only keep time, but can also add an extra flourish to their playing by way of playing “fills” on their drums between beats. Punk music is often faster and more aggressive than rock music. Some notable Rock drummers include Keith Moon of The Who, Dave ... Read More
