Michael O

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I am an Artist who loves to see his students succeed. I have a strong passion for music, and utilize that passion and the skills I've developed throughout my career to cultivate students into fellow Artists. My primary goal as a teacher is to tap into the potential artistry of the students. For that reason, I am not as focused on the technical skills, as I am about spotlighting the inspiration that will facilitate the student to embody the Artist with original expression and purpose in their art form.

Daniel W

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I Love teaching music, and love helping others progress on their musical journeys! I've played music for as long as I can remember, and spent my childhood learning just about every instrument I could get my hands on. As a young adult, I rigorously practiced piano and studied music theory, eventually writing an 80 page thesis analyzing jazz piano improvisation in college. Now, I like to spread my love of music by showing others how much joy it has brought to my life, and helping them to experience that same joy. Read More

Lauren G

Instruments: Piano Voice Clarinet

My name is Lauren and I am a voice and piano instructor who has the goal of not only improving your voice or piano skill, but also improving your confidence and presence on stage. My love of music dates back to my early childhood and it has been a dream come true getting to share it with budding musicians both young and old. I have had the opportunity to work with some extraordinary musicians in my career and have come to understand the importance of not only teaching solos but also coming together as a team. Read More

Willa G

Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele Music Keyboard

Hi! My name is Willa, and I've been teaching music for twelve years! I began learning piano at age four, and it became a deeper and deeper passion as the years passed. I dedicated myself to my craft and went on to become a Perry & Walters Music Foundation Scholar, attending Harding University and graduating Cum Laude with my BA in Music (emphasis in piano). I taught for a time in Searcy, (privately, and with the Searcy Community School of Music) and started a weekly music therapy program at a school for kids with mental and physical disabilities (The Sunshine School).

Gina P

Instruments: Piano Voice

I am honest with a student about their body, I think the best way to sing is to know how all the pieces of your instrument work together to create healthy sound. I encourage my students to eat well and take care of themselves physically and emotionally. I also want my students to have fun by singing music that enspires them to be sincere with their emotions, singing for an audience can be scary but in a private lesson I encourage trying things out even if they seem silly.

Teacher In Spotlight

Eddie C

Instruments: Bass Guitar Electric Guitar

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I think that it would be a Parliament Funkadelic live concert from beginning to end. The bass guitar is a major element in the funk music the created. Then I would like to fuse that with a few Stanley Clarke tunes with Thundercat and Mono Neon as guest appearances. Then I would like to have Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten come improvise while I hold down a groove of my choice. Then I would like all of us to lear Funfe Stücke by Paul Hindemith all on bass guitars and then we go into a Jimi Hendrix/ Led Zeppelin tribute

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I do not have a music degree from a university or college. When I graduated high school I was offered a scholarship to attend a private university but was unable to attend because my guardians thought it was not the best choice. I enrolled into Clark Atlanta University for a short time. I was in the jazz orchestra and classical orchestra for a while but I was not happy that my guardians made me go to that college. I was so hurt that I eventually went to the registrars office and left the university

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Normally I’ll have my bass and amplifier. I’ll have a list of scales to learn and also homework. I may have my computer to record our session so the students can hear themselves after the lesson is finished. This will help them in pinpointing certain areas that may need improvement. I may have my guitar also so the student can understand the relationship between these two related instruments. I may have bongos and microphones also. I may also have effects for bass and guitar to open up a new world of creativity for the student

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Not specifically but these are great methods and authors. One may find a great lesson book at the local library also. I believe if a student wants to make music and have results then the teacher must employ a plethora of techniques. I’m not opposed to these method oops. They are great tools. I usually provide a curriculum that is tailored to the students ability and discipline. I’m not the best at reading music anymore but I understand all of my notes and scales. The fundamental knowledge of playing the bass guitar still requires learning and understanding music theory

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.
