Evan H

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Keyboard Electric Guitar

I encourage lots of individuality and fun. Music is a way to express yourself. I'm never teaching for the purpose for the student to become better than others to win awards and perform at recitals. Self expression and achieving personal goals to me are far more important than winning competitions and on-paper accomplishments. I'll always tailor my lessons for each individual student, and I'll try my best to keep my lessons within the student's area of interest. Read More

Kate P

Instruments: Piano Voice

Being a teacher is by far one of the most rewarding choices that I have ever made. Seeing a students growth and development is absolutely astounding. I believe that each student is very individualized, and no student learns exactly the same as another. As a teacher, I believe that I need to constantly be adaptable and adjustable to each student's needs. I also want the student to enjoy the learning process; it is important that the student knows that he or she is making achievements and enjoys the rewards of his or her hard work. Read More

Valeri W

Instruments: Piano

For very young beginning students, I typically start with Faber Piano Adventures, and for older beginners, the Faber Accelerated Piano Adventures or Hal Leonard Adult Learner Series. Once the student has shown an understanding of basic theory and technique, classical repertoire will be introduced, along with level appropriate arrangements of the student's choice music. It's important that the student is taught how to practice a piece effectively to continue growing musically in between lessons, so that lessons can be used to find areas for improvement, and to learn new concepts and material.

Stephen M

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Fiddle Music Keyboard

For beginning strings students (even young children) to advanced students, I use the Suzuki method along with the accompanying sight reading book, I Can Read Music. Advanced students who have reached Suzuki book 6 and beyond are invited to seek out other repertoire as a supplement to their Suzuki studies. Students who are involved in an orchestra are also invited to bring excerpts of their music to their lessons so that I can help them to feel confident and prepared at playing tests and auditions.

Chelsey P

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Music

I have been teaching private lessons for five years now to students aged 8-18. I have also taught general music classes to 3 month-two year olds in an early childhood music class. My students have excelled through solos, ensembles, festivals, etc. I believe in consistency of instruction and positive reinforcement and criticism. I best serve my students by being adaptable to all of their needs. I am currently working with a student that has william's syndrome and we have a blast together. Read More

Benjamin M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Drums Bass Guitar Recorder Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style is laid back with the full intention of moving forward in both technique and enjoyment. Each Lesson is geared toward the Goals we agree on as Student and Teacher. Depending on age and experience, I set goals at 3 months or 6 months. It is crucial to allow the student to learn at his or her own rate. Again, I strive to find the Creativity in the Student and to see how that can be developed as quickly as possible, especially if they are interested in songwriting, singing, composition, or simply doing their "own thing".

Ellen C

Instruments: Piano Oboe Bassoon

I come from a family of teachers, and I started sharing my love of music with family and friends at a very early age. I was section leader in high school and assistant concert master at a local church orchestra. During and after college, I worked with a company that provided group piano lessons at Detroit Public Schools. A nearby high school band recruited me to tutor their double reeds section. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Reuven A

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor's Degree in French Horn Performance, and a Master's Degree in Orchestral conducting. I also have Teacher Certification in Math and Music k-12. I knew that I would be studying Music from about the time I was in 11th Grade in High School. I started with a double major in Music and Math, but was not able to commit enough time for both, and--as I knew I would in the case--I dropped the Math major, but never lost interest in math.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece would be to perform the Konsertstük for 4 horns and Orchestra by Robert Schumann. This is a great piece. Schumann was intrigued by the newly invented valves, and wrote this piece, among others, which is written for two valved horns and two natural horns (no valves).

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be teaching Math and Dance--both of which I do currently. I have been dancing since I was 12 years old, and continue to dance and teach dance today!

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
i am a classical musician, and most enjoy playing chamber music. I do however do a lot of improvising on the piano in a variety of styles.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I stated with the Piano, and then I learned the guitar--mostly playing chords and singing with family and friends. I stared French Horn in 5th grade, by for the next 4 years, I was in a small school which did not have a Middle School Band program. I took Guitar Class and learned to play the Flute. When I returned to a big Public School in 10th grade, I decided to go back to the French Horn instead of continuing with the Flute.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Of the six siblings in my family 3 (including myself) studied music in college and continued in musical professions. My sister who is know a well known Mosaic Artest, though with no formal training in music, sings and plays the Ukulele with friend and family and in some community groups. My mother did not have much of a music background, but she encouraged all of us children to pursue whatever interest we had.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I knew from the time I was in 10th grade that I would be going into music. I was a natural teacher long befog that, and in my youth group from the age of 14 was teaching and leading folk dancing and choreographing performances. Later I led singing performances for the youth group choir.

Beginner Guitar Solos: Getting Started with Improvisation

...once said, “Music is the space between notes.” Good guitar soloists don’t just barrage listeners with a constant stream of notes. They learn to give passages of music plenty of time to breathe and sink in. They realize that the notes they’re playing will have far more potency if they’re played at just the right time. You can liken this to other artistic mediums like painting or photography where too much of something often begins to take away from the original idea.   Now that you know a little bit more about guitar solos, we’re going to show you how to get started with improvising and writing...

2 Chord Songs: Easy Songs for Guitar

...As you first start out playing guitar, one of the greatest difficulties that new players have is changing between many different chords. It takes a long time and a great deal of practice to get your fingers to the point where they can move quickly and smoothly between any variety of guitar chords. As you develop the required muscle memory, a great source of frustration is not knowing how to play a song all the way through, from start to finish. Most songs have multiple sections with many different chord changes that can make it difficult for new players to get beyond the introduction. Fortunately, ... Read More

Opera Voice Types

...Fricka from Wagner’s Die Walküre.   The Contralto Voice   First off, listen to “Erda’s Warning” from Das Rheingold by Wagner. Enough said. Contralto opera voice parts come as more of a commodity, and you won’t hear them every day. In fact, it’s so rare to find a legitimate operatic contralto that dramatic mezzo sopranos often have to sing contralto roles (much to their chagrin, we can imagine). Contralto voices are characterized by an exceptionally deep, rich, and powerful timbre–Marian Anderson is arguably the best example. Contralto is the lowest of the female opera voice types.   Male Opera Voice Types   ... Read More

Types of Clarinets

...You can hear the clarinet in many different types of clarinets in all sorts of music, from classical to jazz, marching band to rock, Broadway to klezmer. The first iteration of the modern day clarinet was invented around the year 1700. Its predecessor was the chalumeau.   When people talk about the clarinet, the word “clarinet” by itself always refers to the Bb clarinet. However, there are several different types of clarinets. The number and types of clarinets a typical clarinet player owns depends on the types of music he or she plays. A jazz player may own a Bb clarinet and a ... Read More

How To Write a Pop Song

...song as a whole.   Other Sections   Verses and choruses are a Pop song’s staple sections, but they’re by no means the only sections. When learning how to write a pop song, intros, endings, bridges, and instrumental sections should be studied as well. They are powerful songwriting tools that can add valuable character, momentum, and direction to the music you’re writing. A thoughtfully-constructed intro is your way to set the tone of your song by introducing instruments, suggesting a tonality, and constructing a mood. The intro is your chance to define a mood that will carry through your song or hint at ... Read More

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.
