Carl C

Instruments: Piano

I believe in individual piano lessons for my students. Traditionally I have taught using Faber's Piano Adventures and the Alfred Series. I also have used the Bastian series. However, I often adapt my lessons to match the needs of my students. I am currently designing my own curriculum to better meet the needs of my piano studio. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Harmonica Ukulele Recorder Electric Violin Fiddle Double Bass Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My motto is my students create their own lesson. I formulate lesson plans off of the styles of music you are most interested in. If my student has a more "just for fun" attitude, the lesson will inevitably be a more light hearted feel. If the student would like to focus on more technicalities, that as well is a different approach. However, I do have a more structured plan for younger students. Read More

Joseph L

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Mandolin

I'm a patient, energetic, understanding, highly-motivated teacher who loves training people to accomplish their musical goals. I teach from the experience of a songwriter and performer, someone who started off as an ear-based, self-taught guitarist and has worked his way up to to a BA in Composition, recorded and released music for three Seattle rock bands, and performs regularly. This diverse background makes me relatiable to students with all different learning styles, interests, and skill sets. Read More

Al P

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Organ Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I teach music to all ages, and my style varies depending on the age of the students. With young students, I may give them a little theory but more so focus on what music they like may like and want to learn. I find playing along with CDs work for some students as long they have fun. For the adults I bring it to a different level but again using similar methods, for example learning minor or major scales on guitar or piano, timing is also what I focus on as well. Read More

David G

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Drums Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard

My lessons are designed to fit each student's level and area of interest. For example, if a student wants to learn how to play blues piano, I'll assign him exercises to compliment learning that idiom, i.e. scales, chords and rhythm patterns. people learn best when they are interested in at that moment. I use the same philosophy teaching drums and trumpet. Specific methods are tailored to the student's current ability and age. Read More

Geoffrey W

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Lap Steel Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I began teaching private music lessons while I was working on my Bachelor of Music degree. I also was a teaching assistant for guitar classes at the university that I attended. After I graduated I continued to teach privately, at music stores and technical colleges including Lake Washington Technical College. I taught at Bellevue American Music for over twenty years. I teach many styles including classical, jazz and modern styles and I encourage my students to explore different genres of music to keep them excited and motivated. Read More

Haeyoon S

Haeyoon is currently a part of the prestigious studio of Aldo Parisot at the Yale School of Music as she pursues her Artist Diploma. She is an avid chamber musician at Yale and in her community as an active member of several chamber groups.

Recently they have also won the Chamber Music Competition held across all intrumentations and performed the Piano Trio in C Major by Johannes Brahms at the Winners Concert in May 2012. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I recommend playing a piece that is known to give one the chance to start thinking musically. Then do technical studies for five to ten minutes (as appropriate to knowledge level). After that one should work on current literature that is being learnt. To end a session I would suggest playing something one likes to leave oneself with a positive feeling. My favorite rule is the Eleven Minute rule. If you have trouble with a passage, or are trying to memorize something do it for eleven minutes and then stop and do something else such as play that sog you really like.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
1) When they have the desire to play 2) When they have suitable physical development to do so. a) violin and piano can be started at three to four years of age if you are willing to put in the time to teach them the discipline of practice without making them hate it b) age six is a good time to start piano for the average child c) age eight is the earliest I recommend starting guitar, but there are exceptions. d) age ten is a good general age for beginning music, particularly for wind instruments. 3) If you want your child to play music talk to them about it before they reach the above ages and and observe if they are getting excited about the idea.

When will I start to see results?
Results vary depending on the individual. However, if the student is eager for the next lesson this indicates that they are motivated. In general I give a student three months to see if they are making satisfactory progress. Results can be seen earlier but that is the point where I decide if a different approach should be used. In 2002 I had two fifteen year old girls start guitar. Initially I thought girl A was going to excel and girl B was not going to do as well. At the end of three months they both showed good progress but girl A was more skilled. At the end of a year they were both equally matched. In the second year girl A dropped but girl B continued until she graduated from high school and in the end was the better musician.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
At age six I asked for piano lessons. I did not get them but my parents sporadically would guide me. No one individual inspired me I just wanted to play music from an early age. When I started clarinet in fifth grade I admired my band teacher and followed what he said as if he was the fount of all knowledge. I never did get the lessons I repeatedly asked for and so know what it is like to not have a skilled voice guide one to achieve ones musical goals. You can do a lot with teaching yourself but there are always gaps in your knowledge and skills because there is not someone there to guide you.

Syncopated Rhythms

...rhythms occur off the main beats in a piece of music. It might not sound that important, but without syncopation, all music would live in a world of complete rhythmic predictability. Syncopation injects life into all genres of music by adding variety, character, and, in some cases, groove to music.   Syncopated rhythms aren’t just found in drum parts. Obnoxiously catchy songs like Styx’s “Mr. Roboto” owe their infectious quality to their unique use of syncopated vocal lines. Any pitched or non-pitched instrument can play syncopated rhythms.   How to tell if music is syncopated or not   Non-syncopated music features predictable rhythms that don’t stray away from...

For purposes of the video I stayed true to Neil Young’s interpretations.

I use a fingerstyle technique that I’ll describe below.

The guitar part is doubled by an organ treated with a distortion effect. The lyrics of the song tell the true story of when Deep Purple was at a casino in Switzerland to record an album in the winter of 1971. While watching another band, Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention, the venue in the casino somehow caught fire when a fan fired a flare gun at the ceiling. Thankfully, there were ... Read More

This disappointment was compounded when he became a teenager—his voice began to change.   What is often an exciting time for teenage boys turned into a bit of a nightmare for Haydn, since at the age of 17, he “was expelled from both the cathedral choir and the choir school” when his voiced changed. Necessity is the mother of invention, though, and Haydn’s desperation to make enough money to support himself led him to take odd ... Read More
