Adam B

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Music Keyboard

The first lesson is always a trial lesson, in it I attempt to access where the student is musically. I also use the time to find out what the student's musical goals are . We look at things like reading, theory, dexterity on the instrument. If the student plays a wind instrument we look at things like embouchure and breathing. Once I have gotten a good idea as to the student's skill level and have spoken to the student about their musical goals and interests. Read More

From 2015 until recently, I had experience teaching in music schools in NYC and the Bay Area in California. As of 2019 Fall, I quit my teaching jobs at music schools in order to develop my own teaching styles and create various performance opportunities for my students with restrictions, Currently, I teach in a Kawaii piano store, an after school piano program, student's home, and in a private studio, and teach around 45 students per week!

Andrea G

Instruments: Piano Flute Music

During this residency I was able to give private woodwind lessons to beginners-intermediate players, conduct, and co-lead wind ensemble rehearsals. Since graduating San Jose State University in 2023, where I worked as a music theory tutor for all undergraduate theory classes, from beginning theory through advanced counterpoint and orchestration; I have also started teaching music theory, composition, and sound recording remotely to all levels in my own studio. I thoroughly enjoy teaching and find the process of it very fulfilling and make sure that the student feels equally fulfilled and proud of themselves after every lesson. Read More

Instruments: Piano Drums Synthesizer Keyboard

My experience with music goes back since I have memories. Music has been in my life and family and this is why I decided to become a professional musician and study hard to improve my skills and knowledge. My first piano lession I had 10 years and my first professional keyboard I was 15. Drums came along with my brothers toy drum to finally buy a real kit. All my brothers are a musician and it really helped to open to different styles and concepts. Read More

Willa G

Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele Music Keyboard

I've had the wonderful opportunity to build my private studio while simultaneously teaching with larger studios and music nonprofits. It has helped me grow immensely to learn from professional teachers, seasoned team-leaders, fellow-musicians, and the CEOs of the companies. Over the years, I've been able to glean the best practices from the top professionals in my field. I’ve work with children on the autism spectrum, stroke survivors, Alzheimer’s patients, people who went on to earn degrees in music, young children, teenagers, adult learners, and Seniors. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Organ

It is important that each student progresses at their own pace with reasonable and realistic goals that they can reach. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to achieve even greater challenges. My desire is to find what motives the student and create a curriculum that will refine them based on their desire. Read More

Michelle M

Instruments: Flute

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always, and I mean always, begin with long tones. Nothing is more important than working on your embouchure muscles. You can be the best flute player in the world, but if you have bad tone, you will always be considered less than mediocre. The great part about long tones and tonal exercises is that there's so many out there to try out and do! You never have to stick to just one exercise! When you have found at least one tonal exercise you feel comfortable with, you can add on more difficult tonal warm ups to your practice routine.

When will I start to see results?
The tricky thing with results is that everybody sees results differently. For me, a student being able to learn how to play a G in tune is results. You're learning and training your ear to recognize the correct pitch and balance on your instrument. Some people would say playing a G in tune isn't progress or any type of result at all. I say, if you are walking away with new knowledge on your instrument, you're already gaining results. The best part of all of this, you never stop improving therefor you can always keep reaching for better results.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I've had the opportunity to work with many teachers and professors that were, and are, involved with music. The one that inspired me most was my high school band director. He told me to not let anybody or anything stop me from wanting to teach music. I had a lot of people in my life try and convince me to not study music, but I never let those voices stop me thanks to my teachers words. More than anyone, I believe my biggest inspiration is myself. I've worked hard to obtain scholarships to study my passion and seek help when I needed it. No one could have given me the success I have if it wasn't for me. You can be your biggest inspiration, or your biggest enemy.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
My biggest rule in life is, "Am I enjoying this?" If the answer is no, then it's time to sit down and consider whether or not this is a good idea. When it comes to music, I believe anybody is ready to begin lessons as long as they are the one insisting on wanting to do it. If you are a parent forcing your child to do lessons, everybody in the process will suffer. You, the student, and the teacher. If the student is nervous and shy to begin, I promise you, lessons become more than just lessons, they become a form of therapy and a source to escape the real world for a while. As long as the student is wanting lessons, then you're definitely ready!

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.
