Skye S

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

My teaching experience dates back to when I was still in high school. I would go to middle schools and give lessons. Now as a college music graduate, I have taught many ages including college peers. I think it is important to teach skills and methods that will help the student problem-solve and continue to learn even when they are alone. My students have done well in auditions and chair tests, and I always encourage both recitals and competitions. Read More

Catherine K

Instruments: Piano Clarinet Recorder Bassoon

This usually leads to a mixture of classical, contemporary and jazz or musical theatre. I believe that a student needs to be enjoying their lessons and their practice and if they do then they will make the most progress. I make my lessons fun and encourage students to perform whenever they get the opportunity. Performing is a great motivator as is playing in a band or orchestra. Playing music brings something special to every students life and I’m always looking to help share the music with new students both young and old! Read More

Matthew S

Instruments: Piano

Since beginning piano lessons myself when I was seven, I have been sharing my love of music with everyone all around me. I've been teaching lessons formally for the two years since I left college, and it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Working with new students is always such a humbling experience, because it challenges me as a teacher to approach old problems with a fresh perspective. Read More

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.

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
