Emily S

Instruments: Piano Voice

I started studying at the age of 7 and never looked back. I'm about to graduate with my degree in vocal performance and have already completed my pedagogy requirements. I have 4 years of teaching experience, and 13+ years of performing experience. I primarily perform opera, however I have extensive experience in musical theater, solo jazz and in vocal jazz ensembles, as well as concert and chamber choirs. I am comfortable teaching any of these styles, though of course when it comes to opera younger students will start with art song and other classical styles that are more suited to the less mature voice.

Marie H

Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard

I am passionate and hard-working. A great deal of my free time is spent recording and producing music. I enjoy watching my students grow as much as I enjoy finding new ways of growing and learning myself. I am often most inspired by the raw and vulnerable, simple and yet hear-wrenching melodies I come across. Moments as a listener, when a melodic theme takes over and everything else seems to dim out, almost as background noise, are my absolute farovite. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Mallet Percussion Conga Latin Percussion

During my time teaching at Victor Litz Music, where I taught for 12 years, I was lucky to work with one student who had severe dyslexia. Though he had difficulty in a classroom setting, this students general reading and musical skills blossomed over the course of several years of instruction. Through patience and a customized approach I was able to reach him in ways that, according to his parents, no other teacher was able to do. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Adriel A

Instruments: Piano Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would not chose any other profession than a musician. Music is my life, music runs through my veins and I am lifeless without it. It inspires me, it motivates me, it makes me feel things i've never felt before. Without music I don't know where I would be. I am still learning things about music that I never knew before. To be a musician is to be a lifelong learner. I guess if I had to choose something other than music I'd probably choose to be a professional surfer or a doctor because the medical field and surfing are two other interests of mine.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the guitar because I wanted to learn the music that I was listening to, then in high school my friends played the guitar and we would sit around in the basement and play Nirvana, The Beatles and classical rock music. My favorite musicians played the guitar and I wanted to be like them and play like them. This inspired me and motivated me. By learning songs that I liked and listened to, It made me want to learn even more. I could play anything I wanted to play on the guitar. This made me want to learn other instruments.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows an interest, a passion and a talent for music then they are ready to start lessons. It matters because your child wants to learn about music at this point. This will motive a child to practice, and practice is the most important thing to your child succeeding in their musical studies. If your child shows no interest or passion, then they will not practice because they ultimately do not want to learn. Motivation is important in how a child learns and applies what they have learned.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing is essential to applying the things a student has learned. Without practice it would not be wise to move on to the next lesson. If a student wants to improve in their skills, posture, and mental knowledge of music, practicing is even more important than the lesson. It is important that a student stays motivated to practice, and practices everyday, even if it is 15 minutes per day. This will make a huge difference in how a student progresses. Effective practice takes applying each lesson every day.

...that you want to make music about.
