Rupali S

Instruments: Piano Voice

I started teaching my Sophomore Year while studying music in college and have loved it ever since. I enjoy finding out how my teaching methods can fit with one's personality and watching people grow throughout the years. I have kept students consistently for 2 years and each student is different and unique. Some of my students are doing certificate programs like ABRSM, while others are singing and playing piano simultaneously. Some of my students learn by ear and others are sight readers. Read More

Virginia T

Instruments: Piano

I cannot emphasize how much I enjoy the process of creating and reinventing activities, which requires close observation and deep understanding and familiarity of the student's personality, background, attitude and aptitude, preferences, learning style, and communication style. The activities are designed to help students to develop a sense of musicality and rhythm, build techniques, learn about all sorts of musical knowledge, and achieve internal goals like confidence building, improving consistency and practice quality.

I eventually earned a degree in Fine Arts and German language from the University of Texas at Austin. To this day, I use what I have learned to teach the future generations how to make beautiful music. Back in Texas I ran a private music studio where I would take on students in the San Antonio area. As I accumulated more and more students, I noticed most suffered from some sort of mental disability. Read More

Toby M

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I customize lessons plans for each student based on their learning goals and style of learning so it is different for each student. However, I typically use Faber's Piano Adventures for kids and Alfred's Adult All in One lesson books for adults. I also teach theory with scales and technique with Fingerpower, Czerny, and Hanon. Once I know what the student is interested in, I customize the songs and make sure they love the songs I'm teaching and they are having fun. Read More

James D

Instruments: Piano Voice

I had my first paying gig at 7 years old and have never looked back! Always striving to keep my repertoire relevant, I developed a great ear that allows me to learn many songs quickly. I always emphasize that in my teaching so that a student is not only playing, but actively listening too. My teaching method is very open and is tailored for each individual student. With some I do any combination of technique, theory, composition, and improvisation. Read More

David C

Instruments: Piano

I've loved playing piano since I was 4 years old, and I love to share music with others. I have a classical background, and a particular interest in contemporary music and extended techniques. I studied and performed piano at Colorado College, and as a graduate student at Mills College. I've had the opportunity to tour the world with the Bowed Piano Ensemble, an ensemble that focuses on extended piano techniques. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Amy P

Instruments: Violin Viola Recorder Fiddle

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I encourage my students to actively listen and take notes in their lessons so that they know exactly what to practice and how to practice it. If they need me to write down a detailed list of what skill they worked on and how to practice it, I am happy to do so in a notebook, and I will give them the notes after their lesson is over. I can also write some notes in their music if necessary.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My parents were both musicians, and they started me on violin when I was five. However, I was not really inspired to pursue music as a career until I got to college. My college professor was extremely good at explaining technical concepts, and I still incorporate his principles to this day when I teach. Since my dad was principal violist of the Chicago Symphony for several years, I was inspired to continue music after hearing the orchestra perform on a regular basis.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instrument because my parents both were violin and viola players. My father was principal violist of the Chicago Symphony, and my mother was a music educator (specialized in orchestra teaching at elementary and middle schools).

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of having the opportunity to perform the violin solo of Ein Heldenleben by Richard Strauss with the Midwest Young Artists Symphony Orchestra when I was in high school. This performance can be found on Youtube. I am also proud of performing the second viola part of Bach's Brandenburg Number 6 alongside my college viola professor at a University of Michigan faculty recital. I also am grateful for all of the solo opportunities I received by performing with the Chicago Chamber Orchestra. My recorder solo highlights include performing with Music of the Baroque and giving the US premiere of Sir Malcolm Arnold's Recorder Concerto.

When will I start to see results?
It depends on what you refer to as results. After one lesson with me, you will see a little bit of progress, but it will most likely take many lessons over several years to play and perform at a higher level. The more often you take lessons and devote some time to reinforce concepts discussed on your own time, the faster you will see improvement on your instrument.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will know if your child is ready to start lessons if they tell you that they are really interested in learning the instrument and learning music. If they really do not express interest, I would recommend waiting until they decide for themself that they want to put in the time and effort to learn.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. 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.
