Lendys D

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have a degree in Music Education, and also a Bachelors Degree in Musicology from University of Arts (Havana, Cuba). My love for education started very early by teaching neighborhood kids, and eventually I became a professor in the subjects of theory and piano at the Nola Saigh Sainz School of Music in Ciego de Avila, Cuba. I always had a passion for teaching and helping others develop their skills. Read More

Kayce G

Instruments: Piano

With the younger beginners (elementary school), I’m very, very energetic! I do my best to break it balanced; however, I strive to make the environment as fun and warm and welcoming as they would like. I pride myself on leaving every child eager to learn more! With the older beginners (middle school and high school), I keep in mind their personalities and methods of learning and processing the material, so the lesson is still warm, but more balanced in nature.

Rumyana K

Instruments: Piano Voice

I try to make my students happy, and my lessons as fun as possible but have high expectations as well. For the ones that want to get involved professionally I emphasise on practice even more. Flexible, dynamic, and approach each individual differently. Everyone is welcome to my class! Read More

Gary B

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet

My teaching style is to MAKE IT FUN. No punishment. I encourage my students to play or sing whatever they want with my help for the structure. For example: I'm teaching a student to date music theory. At one point 10 years ago when I was teaching a student theory, she completely shut down and wanted no longer to take piano lessons because of the difficulty of it. I had to completely change my game and switch over to the chord method. Read More

Dozie N

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Bass Guitar

For a first timer i typically would relate with the student so as to connect with the basis for their interest in learning the musical instrument. Different students have different levels of perception or assimilation. This i establish before i even start the introductory class proper. Then i go through the fundamentals with the student, and observe their progress along the way. My instruction is flexible even though its structured in a way that prompts the student for further and regular improvements. Read More

Raymiah J

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Bass Guitar Synthesizer Double Bass Music Keyboard

I was born in Marshall, Texas. I received my Bachelor of Music and my Master of Fine Arts in Music Education from Stephen F. Austin State University. I've spent seven years in public schools in the surrounding Houston area before coming on to teach with KIPP Houston Public Schools in 2012. My primary instrument is violin/viola under the training of Dr. Isidor Saslav, but spend my weekends on bass for community events and local performances. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Go in with reasonable goals. SLOW IT DOWN. Practicing involves a lot of movement pattern development and muscle memory. That can't be accomplished if the passage is being practiced at a tempo beyond where the student is completely comfortable. If a phone is used for a metronome and tuner (both of which should be used at EVERY practice session) the phone should be put into 'airplane mode' to prevent distractions. My overriding philosophy is this- FUNDAMENTALS NEVER STOP BEING COOL. Each practice session should include long tones with the tuner on a drone (tune with your ears, not your eyes) and technique work (scales, scale variants, and etudes ) prior to any repertoire. If time is limited, a slow series of scales prior to repertoire work is what I'd recommend.

When will I start to see results?
It's difficult to always see real results because you as a student are a little too close to the situation. I liken it to weight loss. The little improvements you'll notice at first. After a while, you might not notice them so much but others certainly will. This will continue as long as you study and play the instrument. The better you get, the more the bar is raised. If you get frustrated by a perceived lack of progress you must ask yourself this: Could I do this last year? Last month? It's a journey. Enjoy the victories and learn from the challenges. FAIL simply stands for First Attempt At Learning.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
There are a few things that make me proud. I was the 2016 Concerto Competition winner at my alma mater as well as the performing artist of the year that year. My graduation the following December was a very proud moment. I'm proud to have gotten into a graduate program. I'm proud to have received endorsement deals from two different music companies. Mostly, though, I'm proud of the students I've taught and the relationships I've forged in the saxophone world. I have one particularly proud moment, though. University of Michigan Sax Professor and Grammy winner Timothy McAllister told me that I inspired him with my sound the summer he graduated from high school. That meant a lot.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I've had students make regional and All State honor bands in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Kentucky as well as several University honor bands in the same region. It's a lot of fun to celebrate those accomplishments with my students. However, I'm more proud of those who simply choose to make music a larger part of their lives and continue the instrument after high school. One of my students, a young man who was awarded first chair All State in Mississippi as well as in several university honor bands decided he loved saxophone repair and has become one of the top repair technicians in Colorado and the entire Rocky Mountain area. The fact that I was involved in starting him down the path is very humbling to me.

Cadences

...style, this cadence was typically used right before the ending of pieces as a chance for the composer to further develop the music until its true ending a short time later. Any of the cadences above can be turned into an Inverted Cadence if the resolved chord is an inversion, meaning the root note is not found in the bass of the chord. These are also known as Medial Cadences.   There are a few more types of cadences, but the ones listed above are considered to be the most commonly used within music.

Flute Warm Ups: Simple Exercises for Practice

Soloing Over Blues Changes

...to change the blues progression, you can also alter other things. You can alter the time signature: playing the blues in 12/8, 3/4, etc. is not uncommon. You can also alter the length of the progression. There are many compositions written that use the 24-bar blues progression. Each bar of the 12-bar blues progression is just turned into two bars, to make the progression longer. If you want to be hip, you can also try playing a 10-bar, 11-bar, or 13-bar blues. The example above shows a sample 11-bar blues progression. With all the progressions in this section, you should apply all the methods ... 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.
