Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
With beginning students, I will start with the basics and encourage them to buy A Modern Method for Guitar by William Leavitt. Starting out, students will work on chords and scales. We will also work on building a repetoire of songs for the student to work on perform. Intermediate students will work on the fundamentals of theory, triads, beginner 7th chords, and improvasation. Advanced students will work on expanding their knowledge of theory, inversions, technique building, chord tensions and substitution. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Recorder Orchestral Percussion
I teach students how to play, as well as, read music. I teach a variety of techniques and styles of music using books and making up lessons for my students. I teach my students at any age how to play the set, along with snare drum techniques, and play with songs. For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Vic Firth books. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce more complicated styles and techniques that are appropriate for their ability. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Bass Guitar Music
Music is meant to be a form of expression. Sometimes you'll find a student may have a hard time expressing themselves. So as part of my teaching style I try to make them feel comfortable. Everyone is different, which make some students more challenging than others. However, there is something consistent about every student. Every student has that look of bewilderment when they completely understand something. I call it the light bulb. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I usually try to set small goals for my students each week especially for kids as a new instrument can seem like a daunting task. Something I like to do is encouraging a students own creativity and get them to try writing their own pieces or songs. Something I find helps a lot especially with kids is acknowledging their accomplishments because it will encourage them to progress in learning. Another thing that works a lot with kids is making a game out of practicing, these kinds of things will really access their creativity. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music
Hi! I'm Zoey Z. I'm a pianist and a composer from China. I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a bachelor's degree in film scoring. I learned piano when I was five, and I studied classical piano performance at one of the most prestigious music schools in China: Xinghai Conservatory of Music at the age of 11. When I was 18, I studied at Longy School of Music (Cambridge, MA) and majored in Piano Performance. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching piano since 2010. I started teaching part-time on weekends at the best music academy in Thailand called "KPN Music Academy" having more than 50 branches nationwide. After I graduated from law school in Thailand, I started teaching 2 branches of KPN and I also provided private lessons to students at home. Overall, I taught over 30 kids and among them achieved successful results from Trinity College London Piano Examination (at least pass with merits). Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I start of my lessons by asking how much the student practiced for the week. Then I ask them if there was anything that was confusing for them so we can work on that first. I let the student pick what they want to start with first and then I will pick the next exercise. I finish with giving them a homework assignment and making sure they understand what to practice for next week. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Keyboard
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I first learned the basics of playing the clarinet and played in school bands from 4th grade until middle school. When I was in 7th grade, a friend of mine let me try his saxophone and I found it was easier to express myself on that instrument, so I switched. While studying to become a music teacher, I realized that playing both instruments would help me the most in my career, so I began to practice the clarinet again as well.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Schedule two or three times during the week outside of the private lesson where you can practice without interruption. Make sure you have a practice area where you can keep your metronome, reeds, music stand, etc. in one place. Develop a warmup routine that is consistent and touches on all the areas of breathing, embouchure, posture, technical exercises, articulation, and so forth, before moving on to literature, tunes, or band music. Keep a practice log in which you note when you practice and what you practiced and for how long.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
It’s a good question, and I am going to touch on 3 things to consider before starting.
1. Can Your Child Focus For Short Periods Of Time On A Task?
If a bit of focused concentration is there, we can build on that attention span. At first we might be stringing together little tiny bites of concentration, with built in tasks in between. Over time we can stretch that out and your child will learn to focus and concentrate for longer periods of time.
As long as some concentration is happening you are on the right track for getting started.
2. Will Your Child Interact With Another Adult Who Is Giving Them Instructions?
For many students this is the first time they will work in a close one on one interaction with someone who is not a parent or relative. Depending on the child, this may be no big deal or may be something that you will need to work on before lessons start.
3. The Most Important Consideration For If Your Child Is Ready To Start Music Lessons Is:
Are You The Parent Ready To Undertake Music Lessons With Your Child?
Research shows that one of the biggest indicators of a child’s long term success in music is actually the parents long term commitment to music. I think it’s because we approach activities our children are “trying out” much differently than those we are committed to them doing long term. We put more time and emphasis on helping them form habits and stay disciplined about something we want them to still be doing years from now, for example.
Music lessons, and especially practicing with your child daily, takes a lot of time as a parent.
You will have a wonderful opportunity to bond with your child, understand how they learn, and help them to flourish and thrive. You will also need to find to make room in your family’s schedule to practice and perhaps sacrifice time for other things in order to practice daily with your child.
