Fruzsina L

Instruments: Piano

My primary desire for teaching piano is to make a positive impact on children as individuals. In the spring of 2022, I received my Master of Music diploma with a Concentration in Music Education from California Baptist University. I grew up in Veszprém, Hungary, where I started playing the piano at age 7. In 2010 I began her studies at Csermák Antal Music School in Veszprém, where I took lessons from jazz pianist and composer Orsolya Lakatos. Read More

Amanda S

Instruments: Piano Cello

For younger cello students I love Suzuki book 1- for older students I use Lee. For my piano students I start with Bastien series. I always try to keep my students engaged and lessons positive. If for some reason a student get stuck on a piece of music or they're no longer progressing in a meaningful was I am not opposed to shelving it and moving on to something new. Read More

I have been teaching not only music but other subjects such as computer science, mathematics, English, and social studies since I was in high school.

My goal is to balance a musical education with other elements such as self-confidence, focus, concentration, and of course fun! Read More

Krystal J

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Synthesizer Recorder Euphonium French Horn Music Keyboard

I began teaching private music lessons in college in 2003. I have been teaching lessons consistently for the last 10 years from my home studio, online, as well as traveling to the students' home. I find great pleasure in hearing a student's progress, that's why I encourage recording their practice and having a consistent practice schedule. I feel it is important to give positive reinforcement and feedback to students. I am always excited to bring on new students of many different age groups! I believe it is important to keep the lesson interesting to the student by incorporating music for technique but also songs that the student enjoys playing.

Tori S

Instruments: Piano Voice

I believe that it is truly important for any of my students to enjoy and love the music that they're practicing and learning. Therefore, it is important that I develop a specific teaching plan for each student. I encourage setting goals for each student to track progress and celebrate every accomplishment, making students eager to learn more. I encourage live performance, through either school talent shows, auditions, etc, because it is important for any vocalist to practice performing in front of an audience. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Gust T

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Saxophone Drums Mallet Percussion

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Recording my own music and receiving fine reviews is nice, but having a person come up to you and tell you how much a piece of your music helped them get through a tough time is more important. The award of healing others and myself with music is something that has happened to me on many occasions. it is by far the best award one will ever feel by doing music. I developed an internationally acclaimed Jazz club from 1988 to 1997 in NYC. I still have musicians thanking me for providing a forum for them. That was a great experience as well.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My students are musicians that have gone on to teach in major universities and record and tour themselves. Teaching music has not always been a one on one experience for me. Producing recording sessions and discussing musical ideas during these times was my best teaching ever. Many of these artists, Kevin Mahagany, Dave Stryker, Joe Lovano, Arthur Blythe, Anthony Cox, Teri Lynn Carrington, John Abercrombie, and more. These were my teachers and students simultaneously. we worked together side by side on tours and in recording studious. The process was always like getting a degree.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I first played the baritone horn, because I had an overbite and the teachers in those days always used one's physical make up to determine the instrument you should play. A silly idea at best. I went to drums and then in college I was forced to learn either piano or melodica or vibraphone, I chose the vibes. I recorded several CD's on this instrument. I then studied piano then studied trumpet and tenor sax. Along the way I have learned enough guitar and flute and hand percussion to use in my recordings. Choosing an instrument is not something I'm good at. I want to play all of them. I can say that each instrument has taught me more about the other instruments that I play, than I ever expected.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes I had the distinct honor of performing with the great alto saxophonist Arthur Blythe. He was a self taught musician. he performed throughout the world for more that 30 years. His ability to sing a melody on his horn was applauded throughout the globe. He said little about music, He taught me how to be musical by example. he had an innate gift one that few possess. And standing next to him was the best musical lesson one can have. Because through osmosis we learn from our fellow human beings. This is where music is more powerful than most things in this universe. You can communicate so much by saying so little and let the music do all the talking.

...thing to forget when you get caught in the routine of teaching student after student year after year. Motivating students is sometimes as simple as playing them a piece of music they’ve never heard before. Music is quite possibly the world’s most beloved and influential art forms. There’s songs and compositions about death, falling in love, going to war and the contemplation of what it means to exist in the universe.

To help encourage students to keep concentrating on their own playing instead of the playing of others, some Suzuki students are instructed to ‘watch your highway.’ This means that you’re looking at the general area of the violin strings between the bridge and the fingerboard, right where the bow connects with the string. Sometimes called the “Kreisler Highway,” it means that you watch the ‘highway’ of your violin, to keep your bow straight. (Fritz Kreisler, the virtuoso violinist, was the inspiration of the name, by the way. Kreisler sounds like Chrysler, which ... Read More

...well and in tune – playing scales every practice session promotes and reinforces “hearing” the smallest intervals. Just as playing darts requires seeing the target in order to hit the bulls eye, a musician must “hear” the target notes in order to play them well. Arpeggios (root, 3rd, and, 5th) are the notes in a simple chord or triad. Playing arpeggios gives the cellist the practice of shifting major and minor 3rds (C – E – G and C – Eb – G). Intonation is more difficult when shifting 3rds due to the natural tuning of that interval and must be ... Read More

Selecting the best instrument for you can be overwhelming, especially as a beginner who may be unsure what characteristics to look for. This may result in owning a lower quality instrument or one that is a poor fit. It’s best to take note of the store’s return policy. Similar to owning your own home as opposed to renting, any repair costs would be covered solely by you unless you have purchased separate insurance to cover these kind of issues.
