Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Piccolo Mallet Percussion Music Keyboard

I love when I get to see my students fall in love with music and have great passion for it. I take an individualized approach to each student, and I also set realistic goals so they can meet them. I want to make sure students improve, while not getting frustrated or bored. I think it is also important to make sure the student is always having fun, because creating music has to be a choice for a student to succeed. Read More

I am a dedicated, passoniate, and serious musician who wants to share my love of musical creativity with the rest of the world and the coming generations.

Teacher In Spotlight

Larry D

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Saxophone Drums Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion Music Djembe

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the instrument is true humility. True humility hurts and is painful to ego because ego in the life of the artist is sometimes mistaken as identity. Getting to a place where you love being corrected and hearing what's wrong in your approach is a vulnerable, but also the most powerful place to be as an artist because humility is the boost in clarity that truly makes the sky the limit.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I chose performance because I wanted to play the instrument. My understanding is that true knowledge comes from experience. I've cultivated an entire approach based on doing, then teaching. My students are effective in their creative pursuits because they are attacking their deficiencies from a place of experiencing freedom. Practice for a performer is designed to unlock all creative possibilities to be free in expression while on the bandstand.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I couldn't get away from the drums if I tried. The drums chose me and I have been working things out for over 35 years now. Rhythms are constantly going through my head and I have a love for numbers and synchronization. Music is the best way to tie all those skill sets together.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes!! Dr. Mondre Moffett inspired me to be the kind of teacher that helps people find their own creative voice by analyzing the creative voices of the master musicians that have come before me. His method showed me I had a place in this long line of creative Continuum and that I only needed to be honest with myself at all times so I could accurate track my own progress.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will know when your child is ready for lessons when they show a consistent expression of music in some way. It may be singing, tapping on things, or constantly trying to play an instrument you have laying around.

When will I start to see results?
Immediately!! If you record yourself and are under the right tutelage to teach you what to look for. All you have to do is compare what you're doing to the original recording of what you're trying to play. Either you are a going to sound like the recording or there will be a gap in achievement that can be filled through consistent and focused practice.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The key to effective practice is honesty with yourself about deficiencies. If you can be honest about where you need to get better, you have a clear target to go after and will improve consistently with speed.

Their single “Bloodbuzz Ohio” is characterized by singer Matt Berninger’s unique baritone vocal style.

A reference point is a finger that remains in place as reference for connecting other fingers which form an entire hand shape.   Thumb position is usually considered a more advanced technique, but I suggest starting thumb position exercises as part of a cello technique exercises regimen sooner rather than later, so that the cellist/student gets used to using the thumb as soon as possible. Octave scales in thumb position are one octave scales played with the thumb on the root (thumb 1-2-3 fingers – thumb 1-2-3 finger patterns) on the ... Read More

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.
