Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Recorder Mallet Percussion
I like to teach to the interests and ability levels of my students. I believe in keeping lessons light and fun, while maintaining a strong emphasis on guiding my students toward becoming musically literate. A typical lesson for a younger student may include board games and coloring pages in addition to traditional "on instrument" time. I also strive to integrate technology in to my lessons, whether by using iOS apps as teaching supplements, or by monitoring home practice through a "flipped" classroom approach. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Organ Latin Percussion
I began by tutoring my fellow students during college. Little by little, I realized that I was becoming more passionate about seeing the students progress and achieve the goals they set for themselves. There is almost no greater feeling than accomplishing a goal, and even though I always acknowledge and encourage students on their accomplishments, I believe there's always another step to take, another skill to master. I also believe, especially with beginners, that rooting a students skill with the bare basics is essential to understanding music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For children beginners, I usually start with either Faber & Faber Piano Adventure or Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. When the students have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will start introducing solo repertoire to get them ready for their first recital performance. For adult students, I guide my instruction accordingly after finding out what the student is interested in to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My name is Emily, and I offer piano lessons for children in my Chula Vista home, or by arrangement in your San Diego area home. I am a substitute teacher who works at the preschool, kindergarten, and elementary schools in Coronado, Silver Strand, and Chula Vista. I have an extensive background in music, singing, and piano; my family is filled with musicians, and after growing up playing piano and performing in musicals and with college choirs, I have happily settled into a career of sharing my love of music with children.

Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
Each lesson helps beginners or advanced students with unique lessons. Most student lessons last 45 minutes- and not uncommon up to an hour, and even more at no extra charge. It's a recharge that may require more than a week of practice, so schedule accordingly. My beginning music course has "handout" copies of my lessons to encourage individual students learning theory and sight reading. I use the "Michael Aaron" course for beginners, progressing with new techniques and work borks by John Thompson, covering classical, pop, rock and blues. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin
My teaching style is a balance between a music theory discipline mixed with what the student wants to learn of the instrument. I prefer and enjoy an environment that promotes expression of the student where we can learn from each other. I understand the uniqueness of each of my students and cater to their needs be it attention span, shyness, learning speeds,etc. Music is a discipline and a means for expression and that's what we will teach in my lessons.

Instruments: Piano Flute
I've had a love for music since I was a child, when my father played classical recordings at home every day. I've played piano and flute since age 10, and the enjoyment of it just keeps increasing! From elementary school through college I performed on flute, including as a soloist, in bands and orchestras; and as an adult I'm continuing that. I've performed in several orchestras in San Diego, and I'm a charter member, section leader, and soloist in the San Diego Concert Band. Read More
Instruments: Flute Piccolo Music
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I always just identified as a musician so there was question that I would go into this as a profession. The part that was confusing was choosing what my major would be and then realizing that my college degree doesn't necessarily define what I'd do in my musical career. I actually quit flute playing for about 2 years after I left grad school (although I was still teaching music classes and repair woodwinds), and had a random opportunity to get back into performing in 2017.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Nope! I have 4 siblings and just 2 of us happen to be professional musicians. No one in our extended family really plays instruments and our parents think sheet music is totally foreign. My sister who's a professional jazz musician teaches at a university, freelances, and writes music for her jazz combos. We are on opposite ends of the musical spectrum.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
All of my students have this basic practice setup:
o warm up on long tones
o fundamental exercises
o scales and arpeggios
o etude
o focus piece
I have detailed practice techniques to use with these basic practice elements depending on what needs to be improved for the week
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Quality over quantity. 30 minutes of focused, accurate practice with a metronome will always be more effective than 2 hours unorganized practice. Come up with a routine and you'll be surprised how quickly you're able to learn!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows an interest in their instrument without it feeling forced, they're able to focus on one task for 30 minutes, and begin to ask detailed questions about their instrument, they're ready to start lessons. I personally recommend that if your child is starting beginning band, allow them to get used to the musical setting before beginning intensive 1-on-1 studies.
When will I start to see results?
This part is up to you. I focus on immediate results by providing efficient and proved practice techniques. It takes some discipline to practice the way I teach you, but you will see better results if you trust the process.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
One of my first students I've ever taught has gone on to become a Haynes artist, win international awards, and now studies at Harvard University and a prominent conservatory. She continues flute studies while she also pursues a different profession, and this is what I love to see! Of course, this is a text book success story, but no matter if your flute playing leads you to an Ivy League school or to the living room performing for your loved ones, success is based on the student and what makes them fulfilled.
