Alison B

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have been teaching out of my home off and on the last 25 years. I've been the master piano teacher, rock band teacher and concert director at a music performance school the last few years but I'm back to my basic love of teaching since I've just relocated to the West coast. Because progression will produce a passion for your instrument whether it's piano or vocals, I emphasize regular and consistent weekly practice at home with times varying depending on age and proficiency.

Steven R

Instruments: Piano Organ

My methods include a wide variety of resources. For beginning students I like both the Hal Leonard and John Thompson approaches. Along with the lesson books, i also encourage technical studies including scales, arpeggios and other studies to build up finger strength, dexterity and independence, As the student progresses, I introduce memory work, choring and basic improvisation. For the more advanced student I let them work on repertoire of their choosing, stressing a variety of genres and styles. Read More

Kate L

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet French Horn Music

I am an energetic and encouraging instructor who loves seeing students get excited about learning new things. I have B.M. in Acoustic Composition and Electronic Music, 10 years of playing/performing French horn, 5 rigorous years of piano instruction and performance, and a whole lifetime of singing. I wear a lot of hats in my professional life that range from composer to ethnomusicologist (specializing in UK identities and politics in music) to performer (formerly primarily horn but now primarily piano and voice) to music administrator to teacher.

Adam C

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums

I am a musician, songwriter, and author the of "Crash Course: Drumming Manual." When I'm not teaching, I spend my time working on a Christian music project. Read More

Charlie C

Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard

I have taught privately since 2006, though occasionally I will take two students from the same household, church or neighborhood and pair them up in what is known as a "partner lesson". Each person takes turns at the piano playing their respective scales, repertoire etc. and we offer one another encouragement as well as constructive criticism for those technical issues in need of improvement. I do hold seasonal recitals during Christmas and spring seasons as an outlet for my students to showcase the songs and pieces they have learned throughout the year. Read More

Bratislav M

Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Accordion Keyboard

I am a passionate music instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In 2004 I graduated from University of East Sarajevo, Music Academy with Bachelor in Arts degree in Accordion and Piano Performance. Performing all over the world has been one of the greater experiences of my life as musician and professor. I teach for over 17 years. I have been a judge in accordion competitions worldwide most notably the 62nd Accordion Trophy Mondiale, World Accordion Championship, held in Spokane, WA and the 66th Coupe Mondiale World Accordion Championship, held in Victoria BC, Canada.

Nicholas L

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola

I have a wide range of experience in teaching music. I have taught over a dozen students through my personal music studio at Florida State University, and many of them have gone on to win auditions at the university level. I have taught beginners solid fundamental skills and I have taught advanced students to refine their musicianship and their technique. Much of my experience comes from the classroom: I completed my student teaching at the Florida State University Schools, and I taught five classes full time. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Everyone loves to say, "Practice!" Few people seem to want to translate this idea into something manageable, practical, encouraging, realistic, psychologically fitting, etc. Furthermore, many (young) people who are interested in music are also NOT naturally inclined towards discipline or "high-energy" goal-setting; therefore, they could use even MORE help than normal to actually DEFINE what it means to "practice." (Hint: It doesn't mean just looking at your music and trying to "get through" a song or piece -- although that's better than nothing!) Here's something I recommend to almost all of my students. Try 15 minute chunks each day. See if you can ACTUALLY get through a week doing this EVERY DAY (with perhaps one day off), instead of just telling yourself you "practiced this week." Getting motivated to do these 15 minutes is pretty easy when you know WHAT TO DO with the 15 minutes. Here goes: 1 Take stock of whatever you're working on. How many pieces or exercises are there? If one, that's no problem. 2 Rank these "pieces" by difficulty (and be honest, and don't overthink). "What do I not feel like playing?" Start with that one. If have only one piece, continue to Step 3. 3 Continue the same process WITHIN each piece. "Which part of this do I not feel like playing?" Do it!!! Your "dessert" will be playing the parts you DO like better for now. 4 The first 10 minutes of your practice time should be spent on Steps 1-3, repeating as much as makes sense. There is almost NO LIMIT to how "small" you can get while focusing on "difficult passages." 5 Try to insure you have time (within the 10 minutes) to reincorporate these "trouble spots" into the surrounding material. Hopefully, play/sing through the whole piece/song (assuming it's short enough), so you can enjoy the satisfaction of seeing what your very recent work afforded you. 6 (IMPORTANT AND UNDER-RATED) Spend 5 full minutes playing your instrument with "no rules," except the rule that you "can't" play your "actual pieces." Get to know your instrument on more personal terms: "What happens if I do this? What does this sound like? How does this feel physically? How do I play that thing I heard from a friend the other day?" If everything you do on your instrument was "following directions," you are missing out on creativity, on freedom, on mastery, on expertise, on enjoyment, on MUSIC. If you don't SET ASIDE TIME to have fun on your instrument, you may never do so, and you may "rebel" and use other time that should be used on your pieces to have fun instead. Besides, knowing that it's "play time" at the end makes "working" on your pieces less of a threat to the lazy part of your brain. Notice, please, that I recommend 1/3 of your DAILY music time to be spent in a "free" way. This wasn't an accident. Notice also, that I didn't recommend 1-2 hours' worth of daily practice time. Also not an accident. . . . If you've ever seriously taken up a fitness routine, you may have encountered the advice that you should "leave yourself wanting more" as opposed to constantly draining yourself and inviting burnout. I believe it's the same with music. I also believe that anyone who ASPIRES to an hour or more of practice time should have no trouble committing to 15 minutes . . . and that our beliefs about how we're spending our time are often far removed from reality . . . ! Therefore, make yourself "faithful in small things" before moving on to bigger things.

Introduction to Hand Drums: Frame Drums

...The world of hand drums is a vast one indeed, with distinct types emerging in all parts of the world as some of nearly every culture’s earliest instruments. But what is meant by the term ‘hand drums’, you might ask. Quite simply, ‘hand drum’ refers to any drum that is primarily played with the hands or fingers, as opposed to some kind of stick, mallet, or other beater. Furthermore, we’re going to use a strict definition of drum here- i.e., a shell of some kind with at least one membrane striking surface- to avoid any confusion with instruments that are not proper drums, and yet are sometimes...

It’s a good idea not to spend too much time thinking about the pros and cons of rhythm guitar vs lead guitar playing because the guitar is an instrument packed to the brim with musical possibilities, and it shouldn’t be narrowed down into two oversimplified categories.

How To Find The Motivation To Practice

...everyone, and that’s ok. Becoming a real musician is hard, intense work that lasts for years. If you’ve never been able to get excited about playing music, then musicianship probably isn’t an area of your life you should keep investing time and effort in. But there’s a world of difference between someone interested in music who feels discouraged or bored sometimes from a person who can’t seem to get interested in music at all. If you’re the former, I encourage you to embrace curiosity and take risks with your practice. There’s no one way to go about finding the motivation to practice your instrument, ... Read More

Notable Sopranos: Renee Fleming Julie Andrews Mariah Carey Celine Dion Bjork Mezzo (or Alto): also known as “middle voice”, this is the most common voice type for females. Typical range is from A3 (below middle C) to High A (A5). The timbre of this voice often possesses a “warmer, more solid and comforting quality” and is extremely well suited for the genres of Jazz and Gospel music, which require a more mature and nuanced sound for expression.

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.
