Instruments:
Beginning students start with a lesson book, theory book (written exercises for older students, coloring note naming exercises for younger students), and technique book that is appropriate for their age. As soon as a student is ready, I introduce them to books and sheet music written by other composers that make great recital pieces. I then add a classical piano literature book to the mix, and eventually drop the lesson book when the student has a good understanding of the fundamentals. If a student wants to work on any of their favorite tunes (e.g. movie, rock), we work on those in addition. I think students should work on anything that inspires them, while also developing their piano skills through standard repertoire.
Instruments:
My teaching experience began in high school, when I started teaching small classes of children ages 3-13 at my church. I continued to develop my teaching abilities in college, when I directed a small choir. My favorite part of directing that choir was the one-on-one sessions (fun on ones, as my singers called them). These one on ones were dedicated to developing each member's individual voice and grasp of vocal technique, so that I could be certain that all of the singers were singing healthily. With my students I like to tackle some classical repertoire in order to hone technique and some modern or musical theater repertoire to be sure my students are having fun learning music!
Instruments:
I like to teach students 4 major things: Scales, ear training, music theory and a repertoire piece. Scales: 12 major and minor. Just one octave to build their dexterity up. I also like teaching intermediate students the modes (ex. Lydian, Mixolydian, and Phrygian).Ear Training (during lesson, no HW required): I Teach students to try and hear the difference between major, minor, diminished and augmented chords. This is fun to teach, because it can help students decipher what key a piece is in. It also can help students to analyze music better down the road. Music Theory: I teach this from the bastien series books. This typically includes things such as: Time signatures, key signatures, intervals, tempos, and articulations.Repertoire Piece: Students and I choose a piece from a book that they can work on. I ask that they work on the material with hands separately first, until they can play it with the correct notational values, and then slowly work with both hands together and then practice it well until it is up to speed.
Instruments:
Hi everyone, my name is Kyle I'm a recent graduate from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. I received my Bachelor Music in Vocal Jazz Performance from there in May of 2014, I also used to direct The Green Street Brew, an a Capella group from Northampton (but I still arrange music for them). My passion in music is coming up with new ideas for well known song as well as coming up with my own songs and lyrics. I love teaching people music in many different forms and untapping their musical potential. My styles include jazz, blues, rock, metal, progressive, folk, singer/songwriter, theatre, and anywhere in between. I own two guitars, (one acoustic, one electric) a keyboard, and a microphone. If you're interested in untapping your musical abilities, I look forward to working with you.
Instruments:
I was 15 years old when I first started teaching. I was very passionate about music theory. My teachers would recommend me to parents who would want extra curriculum for their children. That is where I started and I developed a great passion for teaching. I've had over 8 years of teaching experience with all ages and levels. I believe that everyone has a different way of understanding therefore I follow a different lesson plan for each person. The most important thing for me is that my students feel comfortable and safe in the lessons to experiment anything that they want to. Understanding that there's no such a thing as wrong but there's always better ways to develop ourselves.
