Jenny G

Instruments: Piano Voice Music

I constantly assess my students' skill and ability levels and use curriculum accordingly. I am very intuitive with how my students are feeling about their own progress and constantly check in with them to see how they feel about their progress and accomplishments. I set goals for my students, ensure that they practice to reach them on a regular basis, and then celebrate their success with positive reinforcement. This includes verbal praise and encouragement, parental involvement and recitals. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola

My earliest teaching experience began in high school while teaching several middle school groups for the local zone concerts. I have taught several lesson plans in the Washoe County School district and successfully completed a 14 week internship teaching orchestra at Depoali MS and McQueen HS. I have been a counselor at Lake Tahoe Music Camp for two years now and plan to complete my third and final year this summer. Read More

Kathleen D

Instruments: Piano Clarinet

I always make things work in a lesson, so if your child didn’t get a chance to practice the week leading up to the lesson, I work around that. I base the lesson and the student and what they feel like they need to work on. At every lesson, we both set goals of what skill they want to accomplish and the time frame they want to accomplish it in. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Banjo Mallet Percussion

I'm a pssionate musician and music teacher. I enjoy sharing my passion with students. I spend much of my time composing and teaching. I graduated from Lewis and Clark College in 2012 with a major in English and a heavy emphasis on music. I have studied African drumming, electronic music, classical music and jazz. I am well versed in hip hop as well. I have stayed tru to my roots and focused on mostly acoustic music, but my range transfers over to electric as well. Read More

Doris R

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Harmonica Ukulele Recorder Piccolo Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I began teaching professionally in the Bay Area about 30 years ago. I have taught in a variety of settings includings classes, group lessons, in music stores, for school districts, at students' homes and in my own private studio. Every person learns differently and I am highly skilled at detecting this and using it to my students' advantage. My recitals not only present individual pieces, but also group works that encourage working together with other musicians which is a highly rewarding benefit of music. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Robert S

Instruments: Voice Drums

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The voice is the most challenging musical instrument because of the many musicianship skills it take to master it. While instrumentalists enjoy the luxury of being able to articulate music using external triggers such as sticks, bows, slides, valves, and keys, improving vocal technique still requires dexterity and the development muscle memory to achieve successful navigation. All musical instruments have different intrinsic challenges derived from their various mechanical designs, however, the voice is activated internally by sending a controlled airstream to the larynx. The experience of singing is entirely physical and in addition to the moving parts of the larynx, vocal training involves learning how to manipulate the rib cage, diaphragm, throat, soft palate and lower jaw to best support the connection of breath and sound to the voice. Additionally, since the head and throat serve as resonance chambers, singers must learn how to physically develop tone quality, timbre and vocal colors using these devices. Essentially, a singer’s musical instrument is their body and each is naturally equipped with its own personal attributes.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For my voice students I like to begin with Anne Peckham's The Contemporary Singer because it provides the perfect warm up regimen for all musical idioms, including pop, R&B, jazz and classical styles. Anne's book provides perfect exercises for essential breath management skills, which affect intonation and phrasing. Students studying scat singing with me will learn mostly by rote but more advanced singers will use "Scat! Vocal Improvisation Techniques" and "Blues Scatitudes." In addition, I like to use the Vocal Real Book for jazz standard repertoire and will support any song the student would like to sing including pop, rock, Latin and Broadway show tunes. FInally, if the student needs to work on rhythms and/or rhythmic feel, I use my book "Rhythmania," which is call-response rote-learning format. Beginning drummers will enjoy a 3-step rote-learning process I call "Hear it, Sing it, Play it." Simultaneously I teach the traditional rudiments using a classic book called "Stick Control" written by George Stone. Intermediate to advanced drummers interested in playing jazz music use Ted Reed's "Syncopation for the Modern Drummer, "Advanced Techniques," by Jim Chapin, "Reading in 4/4," by Louis Belleson and David Weigart's "Jazz Workshop for Bass and Drums. Pop/rock/R&B drummers will enjoy Bill Elder's A Drummer's Guide to Contemporary Grooves," Paul Cappozzoli's "Around the Drums," and "Essential Stryles for Drums and Bass by Steve Houghton & Tom Warrington. I choose all my teaching approaches and books based on the student's interest, musical goals and proficiency level.

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.
