Phoebe Z

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I started taking piano lessons in first grade and then violin in third grade. I was a competitive pianist for nearly a decade and now teach students. I’ve been teaching piano in New Jersey and the Bay Area for the past nine years. Music has been a huge part of my life, and I want to share that passion with others. Throughout the years, I've had more than 10 music students ranging from age 3 to adult so don't feel limited by your age! Read More

Isabela V

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Clarinet

When teaching students who are young, I would first start off with the fundamentals. For example, I would explain music terms to them and develop the new language from there. Once the student has a basic understanding of music, I would then talk about the Circle of Fifths and encourage them to participate in events like concerts or festivals in school. When becoming a young adult, I would then discuss competitions and help them prepare for college auditions. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style begins with my assessment of each student's abilities, physical, mental, and emotional. By this method I am able to design a realistic program for each student. Patience and encouragement go hand in hand, acknowledging their accomplishments all along the way. Once some fundamentals are established, I add pieces that the student has an interest in learning. In preparing for recitals I often accompany students which adds not only enjoyment for them but encouragement for them to overcome hesitancy to perform publicly. Read More

Joanna S

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have been teaching since my early years in college. I got really involved when my son was born and was asked to start teaching fundamental music class. The business grew and started having students coming to my house. It is a passion to see the child achieve and get lead roles in music theater or compete in a piano competition and receive a ribbon. To see my students eye light up talking about their experience and see how confident they have grown as a vocalist. Read More

Emily B

Instruments: Piano

As a navy wife and mother of two children, I have spent many years moving to places across the country and across two oceans. I found substitute teaching to be enormously fulfilling during this time of constant change; I discovered how much I enjoy working with children and helping them discover the joy of learning! Since finally settling down in San Diego, I have been focusing on sharing my love for music by teaching piano, after years of nurturing my own daughter's talent for violin and singing. Read More

Steven B

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

I have my own ProTools recording studio, and I record 10 songs from each book for students to learn to play by ear. I make a CD and give it to the student. The CD holds about 30 tracks on it, the piano tracks and my speaking voice on each track. I speak on the CD gently underneath the piano playing, for example, when there is an interval, I slow things down and the student will hear my voice in the background saying Interval, then the student will hear me play each note of the interval separately.

Teacher In Spotlight

Marie H

Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set a consistent time of day and a specific amount of time. Remind yourself that practicing is a gift you are giving yourself. While also and act of discipline, it is a time for self-nurturing and, ultimately, great pleasure.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Try it out once and see! If you’ve made it this far in seeking out lessons, chances are at least one lesson is worth a try.

When will I start to see results?
Thats depends on how much you practice :-) I make it my personal mission as a teacher to help my students learn how to practice during lesson time. Practicing should feel do-able, never daunting or mysterious. If the student isn’t growing with week to week lessons, regardless of how much outside time is put in, I am failing as their teacher.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Absolutely. I have been incredibly lucky in my musical career. The number of inspiring teachers that have helped me get where I am today is too many to list.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Learning how to use your voice, for singjng or otherwise, is one of the most self-empowering himan endeavors. I wanted to invest my time in something that would help me grow as a person as well as, as an artist.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My record label. I have worked very hard over the years to develop the necessary skill set for self-produced music, and I couldn’t be happier with what I have accomplished for myself in that respect.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
One of my current vocal students was awarded a scholarship at OCC.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The most difficult part of learning anything new and worth while is finding the discipline to develop consistency.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I gravitate towards the Bastien series as I feel it takes a good pace for most students and is very thorough in covering music theory. For more academically-minded students, I prefer the Keith Snell series.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
20-30 minutes of warming up and 30-40 minutes of technique in song.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Performance

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My own compositions. It is hard to put into words the fulfillment that comes with writing and sharing one’s own music, though it is without a doubt profoundly gratifying.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I couldn’t do anything else and be happy.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I have a deep-seated love for all genres of music, and find that the most memorable artists are not limited by the boundaries of genre. I gravitate towards classical music, rock and EDM.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
It was a natural progression to shift from piano to voice. It was the next, necessary step.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I have a very musical family, though to my knowledge I am the first musician.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I woke up one day and realized I was avoiding my greatest passion out of fear. That was the end of that.

Choosing a Saxophone Mouthpiece

...A saxophone player’s sound is a saxophone player’s identity. It’s what defines them. Hear one or two notes and you can tell if it’s Coltrane, or Parker, or Rollins, or Getz. What’s the key to getting a great sound? Long tones, overtone exercises, listening to players you want to sound like (especially live), practicing often, performing with other musicians frequently, etc. If you don’t have a good set-up, though, you’re giving yourself a pretty limiting handicap from the start. Your teachers may stress the importance of getting a good horn, but your reed/mouthpiece set-up is of at least equal importance. Some people even argue that ... 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.
