Rebecca W

Instruments: Piano

Helping students achieve their specific goals is very important to me! If they are passionate about a particular style of music, composer, or piece, I will help them reach that goal! I am willing to meet them wherever they are musically. I think it is important for the student to work on a variety of styles and pieces at any given time at their level, so they have a diverse musical palette. Read More

Joseph U

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Recorder Euphonium

With all of my students I am kind, patient, gentle, humorous, encouraging, and positive with my feedback. Students regularly give feedback on the music they are making, as well as any new ways they think I might be helpful to them. I use Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory to help inform me of the students learning style. My goal is to nurture each students musical process. I support whatever pace students choose to employ, and tailor my instruction to their needs and wants. Read More

Joy J

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Oboe English Horn

My teacing style is what I would call organized relaxed. I create specific goals for each student that are attainable. I continually work to encourage my students to work towards their goals. Seeing the light bulb of comprehension go off for my students is my indicator of a job well done. Read More

Ebony W

Instruments: Piano

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, its important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. This is encouraged by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. And realistic practice time at home. By acknowledging their accomplishments, the students desire to progress grows immensely, making students eager to learn more. Learning what inspires the student allows me to give them a customized piano session that fits their wants and needs Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My methods vary student to student- we all learn differently and my objective is to find what works, wether it be a quick demonstration, or a complete breakdown right to the fundamentals. No student is too slow nor incapable. One of the things I really keep my eye on is technique- nothing is more detrimental to a student's progress than poor technique and adaptation! I can quickly spot these future difficulties, and help the student develop the proper means and WHY -with encouragement and positive reinforcement! Read More

Michelle G

Instruments: Piano

My love for piano teaching began my senior year of high school, 7 years ago. I enjoy teaching out of my home studio, for I believe it provides a welcoming and encouraging atmosphere for my students. During lessons, I emphasize consistent weekly practice times, music genre variety, theory, improvisation and parent involvement in the lesson plans. Recitals have proven to be very helpful in building the students confidence and awareness of their personal and musical improvement. Read More

Hannah M

Instruments: Piano

My approach to teaching is as individual as each student. It is important that each student learns at their own pace and in their learning style. It is my job to see what the student's best playing is and push them a little past it. I help my students set goals in their lessons, both broad goals of learning pieces, and specific parts of each piece for their weekly practice. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Walt W

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes, the Suzuki method is basically the most successful, however, my own personal style of learning by example and listening helps so much. The basic cord books and my own flash cards with recorded sounds seem to help so much when students practices on their own. I have found that there are so many on line visual aides where a student can watch a teacher/musician play and instruct on guitar. However, for some students, especially beginners, nothing compares with one on one instruction. Later in the student's progress, there are also really fun music books written using basic cords. These books allow beginners to play their favorite songs in learnable simple ways.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Well, a normal practice session is based on a student's needs. However, tuning up first is a must. Following this, we would go over what we worked on last to see if any progress has been made. If they have mastered to some extent the last lesson, then we go on to the next step. Constant encouragement is what I give every lesson. Learning to play can be difficult, so I show patience and have fun. The last thing we would do in a practice is to answer any questions the student would have and see what music the student listens to and is trying to play.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I do not have a music degree. I realize that going to college to study music would be a valuable resource. However, in my many years of playing and performing, I never had a teacher who had a degree and I never played in a band with anyone who had a music degree. I do not in any way mean to belittle higher learning. I have been to college and I have a degree that I am very proud of. My years of experience in teaching and playing my instrument have and will always speak for themselves when it comes to my students and my accomplishments.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform has changed as I have grown older. When I started, I wanted to be in a big rock band and play heavy metal music. I still like to play for an audience, but I prefer blues, bluegrass, and slide guitar in front of small audiences. However playing for my grandkids is so fun and gives me so much satisfaction. My how we change as performers and musicians with age.

Ten Tour Tips For Bands Hitting The Road This Summer

...the show, consider hitting the store to buy food and booze and splitting the cost with your bandmates.   You’ll all stand to save a decent amount of money if your band pitches in for the costs of food and drinks beforehand. Eating meals from the cooler once or twice a day can save you a ton of money. Another bit of advice though here, this only works if you purchase food that you’ll actually want to eat. If you buy unappetizing food, you’ll most likely break any promises you made to yourself before you left for tour by putting... Read More

Your violin will have a chin rest – the place where your jaw rests as you play the violin. This chinrest sometimes comes loose. So, use a chinrest key to tighten the chinrest. The chinrest key is a small piece of metal, about an inch long, that is straight except for one tiny bend at the end – it looks like a short L with a loop of metal ... Read More

The register key on a clarinet raises the note by a twelfth (octave and a fifth). This means the same fingering in one octave versus another octave produces a different note.   The most common types of clarinets are the Bb clarinet, the bass clarinet, the A clarinet, the Eb clarinet, the contrabass clarinet, the contra-alto clarinet, and the alto clarinet.   Bb Clarinet: The Bb clarinet, or soprano clarinet ...

Jazz Scales: The Altered Scale

It still creates tension because it feels like it needs to resolve to the I chord, but the tension is minimal. To create a more tense sounding chord we could alter the V7 chord to be a V7(#11), V7(b9), V7(#9), V7(#5), etc. We’ve learned a couple of the scales that correspond to the altered dominant chords. The diminished scale alters the ninth; the whole tone scale alters the fifth. There are also other ways to alter the dominant chord. You ... 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.

Ok
