Rebeca B

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Music

I am a passionate music educator who believes every person can thrive through music. There is an instrument, style and technique for each learner. My journey in music began at the young age of 3, singing along with the sounds of live guitar and Classic Rock tunes on the radio in my home. Since then I have participated in vocal/choral ensembles for over ten years, and was honored with the opportunity to sing at Carnegie Hall with an ensemble in February of 2020. Read More

Adella C

Instruments: Piano Clarinet Music

I aim to help students enjoy practicing, whatever level they are at. This means lessons will be tailored to each student's interest, while still following a structured progression to help them gradually advance. All students will be guided through long tones, scales, technical studies, etudes, and solo pieces. Students at higher levels may also include orchestral excerpts. We will also discuss how to properly warm up the body and breath, so that practicing can be as healthy as possible and not result in any injuries or discomfort. Read More

Eric S

Instruments: Piano Music

Eric Schwartz has studied composition at the Cleveland Institute of Music, New York University, and both the Interlochen and Aspen Summer Music Festivals. Past teachers have included Margaret Brouwer, Donald Erb, George Tsontakis, and Randy Woolf. Primarily interested in a synthesis of musical archetypes, Schwartz is always at work on a variety of genre bending projects. Formative influences include an amalgamation of the glam metal of the late 80’s, and the baroque intellectualism of Arnold Schoenberg. Read More

Cara S

Instruments: Piano Voice

As I get to know my students I will learn better how to teach them. Some people respond best to big challenges, some people learn best with baby steps. Either way it is so important to take time and look back to see how much you have grown, and to celebrate both large and small milestones. Learning something new is a crazy amount of work, so it's important that you enjoy it. Read More

Steve S

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Acoustic Guitar

For beginning students I typically start with sound development and articulation for the brass instruments starting with armband studies and schlosburg studies. For the intermediate students I work on Clark studies and intersperse getchel etudes for artistic development. Advanced students work on major recital works for brass that help their development for performance. Guitar students learn chordal techniques with rythem patterns and a blend of classical playing finger picking for individual technique for fingers. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Synthesizer Recorder Euphonium French Horn Tuba Piccolo Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Oboe Bassoon Keyboard Djembe

I'm a young teacher who loves working with students and instilling my passion of music in them. I have been involved in music since the age of 5, and received my Bachelors of Music Education degree from Western Carolina University in 2018. Through my experiences there, I was able to perform across the state of North Carolina, as well as tours in South Carolina, Florida, and take part in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2014.

Teacher In Spotlight

Elizabeth R

Instruments: Trumpet

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
On trumpet, the hardest thing to master is blowing through a phrase. What I mean by this is keeping a steady air flow and not changing your air flow up and down due to the notes you are playing in what range. Flexibility studies and Stamp as well as Hood warmups in particular help with this. The next thing that is most difficult is playing quietly with a good tone. A great way to practice for this is by playing Clarke 1,2,3,4,5 at a very low volume. Pair this with flow studies, and mastering Small and Arbans etudes will certainly help sustain a steady air flow.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Of coarse! A trumpet player’s best friend are their method books. The most well-known trumpet method books include Arbans and Clarke studies. These are great for fingering exercises, etudes, and a really great way to work up towards the trumpet player you want to be. Irons is great for flexibility, Small for etudes, Caruso for kinestetics, Schlossberg for etudes which are wonderful for beginners; and you can’t go wrong with Chicowitz for long tones - which of coarse improve your tone. These books belong in every trumpet players’ collection.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I begin with breathing exercises and move to mouthpiece buzzing. I use the Boyd Hood mouthpiece drills corresponding on piano then with my mouthpiece; resting the same amount as playing. I move onto Chicowitz long tones and then Stamp warmups. I make sure to not overplay and rest just as much as I play. I move onto technical studies - including Irons flexibilities, Clarke technical studies and etudes, and etudes from either Schlossberg, small, or Arbans - depending on what I’m working on that week. After than I normally take about a 30 minute break then I work on my literature. Last, I warm down by playing low long tones included in the Stamp warmups.

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 Bacholer of Arts in Music - concentration trumpet. I chose this degree to teach private lessons as well as perform gigs and I will eventually obtain my masters degree in either Musicology, Theory, Performance, or Composition. I like to keep my options open so that is why I have chosen some wiggle room for what I’m going to graduate school for. For now in this transition between undergrad and grad school, I want to teach lessons full time and continue practicing and playing gigs. I plan on attending UNT or UTA for graduate school.

Jazz Scales: The Pentatonic Scale

...than one good chord/scale relationship. For example, the Cmajor(b6) pentatonic sounds good over a Bb13(#11) chord, and also sounds good over an Fminor(major7) chord, and also works over a G13sus(b9).   A useful exercise is to look at a chord and try to figure out which pentatonic scale, or pentatonic scales, would sound good over that chord. Eventually, you’ll be able to do this on the fly.   Scale Patterns   As for practicing pentatonic scales, you can practice them the same way you practice most of your other scales. Think about all your major scale exercises. You can practice pentatonic scales straight, in... Read More

Hey There Delilah Chords for Acoustic Guitar (Plain White T’s)

...2 & 3 & 4 (&). Please note that you will be playing a quarter note on the “4”.   Basic Finger-style Technique Hey There Delilah is perfect for beginning finger-style players. The right hand is notated as follows: P = Thumb I = Index M = Middle A = Ring   The right-hand finger-picking pattern will not use the ring finger. The “P” (or thumb) plays on the downbeat while the “I and M” (index and middle) are played together, as if they were just one finger, on the “and” of each beat. Simply alternate between the P and I–M.   For the Intro, the P will ... Read More

Jazz Scales: The Diminished Scale

...scale”. Let’s analyze the notes in the scale and see how they relate to the chord. The notes in the scale, in ascending order, are: 1, b9, #9, 3, #4 (#11), 5, 6 (13), and b7. So, every note in this scale is part of a dominant thirteenth with a flat nine, sharp nine, and sharp eleven chord. I suggest playing these chords on piano and playing the diminished scale over them, so you get the sound in your ear. You can also arpeggiate the chord and then play the scale. Scale Patterns Here’s where the “endless possibilities” part that I talked about in ... Read More

Try using logic as well as using your ear so that you begin thinking in 12 keys. See which feels more comfortable, but keep trying both methods even after you figure this out. Examples Based on the Major Scale These first few examples are based solely on the major scale. The first two are easy songs everyone knows. The third one is a jazz standard. Many jazz standards, although the harmony may go through many keys, are melodically based on ... Read More

A Case for Early Childhood Music Education

...the more musical vocabulary they will develop.   Let’s go back to the three year old whose parents wish for him to begin piano lessons ASAP. Indeed, a child at this young age will not be able to play four octave scales in sixteenth note patterns, but he could be placed with a teacher who understands his current stage of cognitive development and focuses on foundational skills in music. This can be done through a number of ways, whether game based or purely exploratory. These early experiences provide an entry point from which young musicians blossom.   If you were to take ...
