Instruments: Piano
I find that teaching Classical music, especially Romantic piano music, suits my personality and previous piano experiences the best. Even so, I make it a priority to introduce students to as many different musical styles as possible. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I do insist that each student practice one to two hours a day based on what they are taught. This includes, but is not limited to finger exercises, drills, posture and any thing that will make playing better for them. I try to encourage them to have fun while learning, this keeps them more interested in continuing with their desire to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Harp
Everything I have done has made me into the teacher I am: caring, encouraging, a bit tough at times, but always positive. I've had many different types of teachers, so I know how important it is to enforce discipline, but to be kind. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Keyboard
I have been teaching private piano lessons for almost ten years and flute for one. I love being able to work with students of all ages :) I worked for a time as the events coordinator in a nursing home and got to use music as therapy and even teach some of the senior residents! I am currently the basket ball pep band director for UW - Mikwaukee, which puts a lot of energy and fun in the way I approach music directing and teaching. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Dennis H. holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Moody Bible Institute of Chicago in Bible and Theology and has studied Piano Pedagogy and Literature at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. He first privately studied piano with Mrs. Ethel Cliff Stried, a Zion Conservatory of Music graduate, from 1979 to 1989. At Bethel College he studied under Gordon Howell (1989-1990). At Moody he studied under Gary Rownd (1992). Hello and welcome! If you are searching for piano lessons in Racine, you can meet with me at the Racine Family YMCA Lakefront campus, where my studio is located. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I began teaching in 2000, and since then have taught saxophones, flute, clarinet, improvisation, chord theory, piano / keyboard, basic music understanding to young children in a classroom setting, and coached worship teams and group seminars to all ages. It is a great joy to see students excel and expand as they take what they have learned into their own lives! Without focus on achieving this, I have witnessed most of my school-aged students advance to lead positions in the ensembles they are involved with, as well as continuing with a passion in their gifts!

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Bass Guitar Synthesizer Recorder Electric Violin Double Bass Conga Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe
My teach experience began in my freshman year of college when I worked as a string/theory instructor at the Lake Country Conservatory of Music in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin where I worked with students of all ages and skill levels. I have worked as a private instructor for almost eight years now and have only grown to love it more with every lesson that I conduct. Nothing fulfills me more than seeing a student perform, whether it is at a concert or competition, because seeing the musical and expressive growth that has been cultivated come out through the student is an absolutely beautiful experience.

Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
One of my proudest moments musically was being able to perform onstage at Carnegie Hall in New York City under conductor and composer John Rutter with my college choir! For one it gave me the opportunity to explore New York City, but also being able to perform a masterwork under the baton of the composer and seeing his thought process of how to get the sound he wanted was baffling.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
My other two instruments that I have studied over the years are piano and trombone. Piano I started playing and taking lessons for during my elementary school years, taking a hiatus from them during high school and picking them back up during college! My great grandma had a piano in her house that I would always mess around with and that habit stuck all the way to today! For trombone, the opportunity for me to start it up was presented by my high school's band teacher during my freshman year of high school. I took him up on the offer and have been playing ever since!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I was originally going to pursue a Math Education degree before switching to Music Education, so would still be teaching most likely but a different subject.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to one day learn and perform the entirety of the Songs of Travel song cycle by Ralph Vaughan Williams. I have already learned a third of the pieces throughout my colleges career, and each piece is so nuanced and fun to perform that it makes me want to learn and sing the full scope!
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 Music Education Degree for Choral and General Classrooms, meaning I am certified to teach all through K-12 in either general music topics or choir specifics. I originally was going to pursue MATH Education, but my love and passion to spread love for music outshined that path.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I have been a singer my entire life, so for me it was a natural choice! My mother and father were very musical people, as well as my siblings were always in choir or musical theater.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
A student can be at any age, but the main thing they need to have is an interest THEMSELVES to improve or experience more music. Forcing a student into lessons or ensembles when their heart really is not in it is the fastest path to burnout.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I am very fortunate to have all my teachers from my school years be very positive influences in my music journey. My elementary music teacher who I took piano lessons with, my middle and high school choir teacher who lead me through countless musicals and had faith in me to help out other members of the ensemble in sectionals, my high school band teacher who helped me bridge my choir experience into instrumental work, and so many more great educators were present and always willing to lend a helping hand.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Routine of practicing is important, but adding in working on material that brings you joy instead of the same warmups over and over again has you wanting to practice longer!
