Instruments: Piano Voice
As a music teacher I believe I have a responsibility to be your coach and your guide. I will take every step with you. My goal is to help you achieve your goals and give you all of the tools you need to grow as a musician. I love to reward my young students for their hard work and practicing. I give praise for every accomplishment and teach you about your mistakes to make them accomplishments. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I provide a warm and positive learning environment for students. I believe students learn best when they are unafraid to make mistakes or try new things, and are rewarded for their efforts. After the first few lessons, I ask students if they would like to participate in my reward system for practicing: I give them a small jar and marbles, and every day they practice, they put a marble in the jar.

Instruments: Piano Organ
We work together to learn how to practice, and how to play, whatever music you like. I can help you find music that you enjoy, and for some students I create new arrangements of songs they like, at their level. I also have composed pieces that sometimes help the learning. I try very hard to show you how to practice. Instead of focusing on whether a mistake was made (you will know that!), I like to focus on the proper form and technique of playing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Keyboard Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
The methods I use change depending on the student, but generally, I use the following: - Piano: start with Alfreds (suited for age/proficiency), then choose a specialty (improvising, classical, pop, etc) - Guitar: start with Hal Leonard (for note reading), then choose a specialty (jazz, pop, classical, flamenco, etc) - Voice: because of the nature of the human voice, I dont use a book, but rather teach principles and methods to use during practice and performance Regardless of the instrument, I hope to help you improve as much as I can.

Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
From early to advanced learning, I have had my best experiences allowing students to find their passion in playing by using simple exercises and studies with harmony, melody and rhythm. Let's define musical terms and organize what you'd like to play and study. Music naturally improves concentration and sharpens memory. . . learn to accompany other instruments or play solo. I have experience programming rhythm and sounds on work station keyboards, specifically Yamaha, Casio, Roland and others. Read More

My name is Shafer and I just moved from the East Coast this summer. I grew up in the Baltimore area and went attended Temple University in Philadelphia to obtain my Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Education. I continued to live and teach in Title 1 schools for the next 2 years upon my graduation. I also have been a member of the Army Reserve since 2012. In the reserves I am a member of the 78th Army Reserve Band, which required me to attend Basic Combat Training (boot camp), an Advanced Initial Course, Warrior Leader Course, and Advanced Leader course.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
If you practice you will understand and move more quickly. Just like homework if you do you will understand. If you don't practice you are still learning, but it will take longer to achieve.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Can your child count and know 1-5? Are they able to understand 1-5? Do they know alphabet? They do not need to be able to read to teach, but should be able to handle and listening directions. They need to be able to sit still for about 20 minutes and listen. Online lesson a caregiver or parent is very helpful and it works wonderful. I have work books to help the child stay interested. With voice does the child love to sing? It will build up her confidence and her ability. I teach students that have been doing amazing in thatre arts and also in school because they take choir.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Bastien love the chords
Alfred for little ones their way of teaching music is great for little ones. It is so much fun and builds confidence
Faber their creativity and able to teach children more concepts of dynamics.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
learning to be patient and discipline. It takes time to learn, but in every step learning a instrument is a great achievement. Every student can look back 6 months or a year and say I wasn't able to do this, but now I can. They need to look at their achievement Sometimes we busy and struggle or maybe even lose interest, but music is a life time gift. Sports are amazing, but most people won't be playing soccer in later life, but they can play an instrument their whole lives even a elderly lady 101 years old was playing so beautifully..
When will I start to see results?
you will see it right away. They will be playing small songs, but they are learning, coordination, reading music, value of music, fundamental music
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
mrs. cooper She was patient and creative.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
my parents chose the piano but so glad they did and i chose to take voice later
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I can write classical, children's musicals, contemporary music, and perform . I can also play for choirs and teach as a music director. I'm grateful for my parent's supporting me in lessons growing up.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
yes i had one child make the regional for voice in Las Vegas and she won.
I have had many students be main or lead characters in musicals.
I have had students go to college and get their music education in performance or education
I have had students play elite clubs because of their love for music
