I believe lessons should be fun. Yes, learning music can and should be challenging. But it also needs to be fun. I am a very performance-oriented teacher. So, once I get to know a student, we begin preparing to perform. If we are having fun while we work, we don't even realize we are working. Giving students really solid practice skills they can do on their own keeps them engaged. Read More

Taylor J

Instruments: Violin

My teaching experience began in my late high school days in 2018. After graduating college, I was excited for the opportunity to work with more students and give them my undivided attention. I currently teach students of all ages, and different playing levels. I love that I can teach music to a diverse collective of students and that each student has their own strengths. I love to emphasize those strengths to encourage them when playing the violin can feel difficult. Read More

Delia C

Instruments: Piano Violin Clarinet Keyboard

Teaching music is a very rewarding experience. Its often nice to see a student to be able to open their eyes and understand the music concept. Every child is different. I like to let each student to progress at their own pace. Patience is the key here when learning to play a new music instrument. I am very flexible and layback. Students enjoying playing their instrument and enloying their lessons is more important than being able to master a piece of music. Read More

Instruments: Violin Viola Music

My teaching experience is from some years ago more than 30 , because I started teaching music and violin in general since i was 18 years old, and was incredible , my students were profesional musicians but needed some first reading skills and i had to teach people older than me!! Inmediatly at the same age I was focused more in violin and piano teaching skills. As a teacher I have to encourage the daily practice and respect for the instrument, music and teacher. Read More

I see it as a mission to invite people of many backgrounds to learn and enjoy bowed stringed instruments. I attended Valdosta State University where i found myself to be the only bass student for 2 years. It was this that gave me the" grit" needed to survive in the constantly evolving music industry.

Kayla N

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Music Keyboard

My teaching experience goes back to my high school days, where we would volunteer to help tutor the local middle school orchestra members on music they were working on for performances. Many of my classmates would also come to me for help with practicing or if they had a music theory question. This continued in college, and before I knew I was working as a violin and piano teacher at a local music store. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Caryn M

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Fiddle Music Keyboard

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I was 12 years old my teacher at the time held a mini competition for us. We were all going to see a concert filled with music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. She asked us to find out as much as we could about him...and being quite competitive I spent the entire week scouring the internet for any interesting details I could find! I listened to so much of his music, and I just remember being in awe. I was so inspired by him, and that was when I decided that if he could do it then I wanted to devote my life to music too. I have been absolutely hooked ever since!

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I absolutely love psychology and figuring out how peoples' minds work. In fact, that's one of the things I love so much about teaching. Figuring out how someone learns most effectively and brainstorming fun solutions to those problems together is so much fun!

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 degree in violin performance. I chose performance because to me there is nothing like the exhilarating rush I get from being onstage. It offers a unique way of connecting with people and telling a story. I love pouring my heart into a performance, entering into a world all my own, and bringing others into that experience.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
The famous Meditation from the opera Thais by Jules Massenet is probably my favorite thing to play. It's melancholic yet hopeful in such a beautifully pure way. It's the story of a sinner named Thais coming to repentance. It depicts her journey from sin to the inner turmoil she experiences as she discovers the truth, her confusion and anguish as she reflects on her life, and her ultimate redemption. It is beautifully written, and originally features a solo violin. I absolutely adore the journey of emotions we go on along with Thais. The peace she feels at the end is so evident and brings out a sense of hope and joy for the listener.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I really emphasize playing in a comfortable relaxed, natural way, so the beginning of my practice sessions are always the absolute basics. I like to pay attention to every single movement and make sure there is no tension anywhere. I focus on getting my arms, hands, and fingers moving the way they should. I also check in with my back and shoulders to make sure there is no tension there. Once I am confident my form is working smoothly, I like to do some long, slow bows. I focus on breathing and drawing the sound out of my violin. Next I like to check my hand frame and get my intonation working well. There are a number of different exercises I do for the bow, bow hand, and left hand, whatever I feel is weakest that day is what I focus in on. Next I like to do my scale and arpeggio routine, and add some double stops. After that I most often concentrate on some etudes like Rhode, Kreutzer, Schradiak, or Sevcik. I like to fit in some solo Bach and Paganini into my practice routine as well. After that I typically do some exercises that focus in on problem areas for the repertoire I am working on, and then I go to the repertoire itself. I also like to reserve some time to work on music for any upcoming chamber or orchestra concerts. Throughout my practice sessions, it's important to me to take lots of breaks, make sure I am not playing with any tension, and be sure that I am focusing on staying relaxed and playing with proper technique. I like to keep track of what I'm practicing. Before I begin I usually jot down some goals and some things I want to get through for that practice session. I find it helps me stay focused and keeps me on task. Of course, every practice session is different depending on the amount of time I have and what is going on at the time, but when I do a full practice routine these are the sorts of things that I usually focus on.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was 9 years old I heard family friends playing violin. I absolutely fell in love with the sound...and the rest is history! Although I have also played other instruments, violin will always have a very special place in my heart.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Watching my students perform Frozen, Jr. while teaching elementary school! I was absolutely bursting with pride watching them succeed onstage in front of their family, friends, and teachers. I remembered all the hard work they had done to get them to that point, and was so proud of all the progress they made to get them to that point. During one performance in particular, multiple illnesses and some very bad news left several young actors stricken and extremely upset. Yet somehow they all worked together, took "the show must go on!" to heart, and poured their hearts into the second act. Later people told me they didn't even realize anything was wrong. Considering the number and magnitude of the things that were completely out of their control going wrong, their feat was nothing short of extraordinary, and it made me so incredibly proud of them to see how they were able to work together to overcome adversity in that way, set it all aside as they walked onstage, and just give an outstanding performance. I would say that is hands down my favorite memory of teaching at that school. Even though the accomplishment was theirs, that night my "teacher heart" was a little extra full.

...assigned to the 4th string. The Middle (M) is assigned to the 3rd string. The Ring (A) is assigned to the 2nd string. The I-M-A fingers move up a string set for the Dm chord. Or, you could assign the I-M-A fingers to the 3rd, 2nd and 1st strings right from the beginning.   This is the essence of fingerstyle playing, assigning fingers to specific strings. This way, you don’t need to look at the right hand while playing. Once you get used to it, you can “feel” where you are. I suggest using the finger-plucking technique for the verse and pre-chorus and the finger-strumming... Read More

...cause dry air conditions, proper humidification is an additional consideration this time of year when it comes to viola maintenance. To avoid open seams, cracks, and warping, use a humidifier to keep your viola safe and sounding its best. There are a variety of options available, such as humidifiers from Oasis and Stretto that are designed to fit in your case or products like the Dampit, a green snake-like tube that rests in your viola’s F Holes. It is also wise to store your instrument in a room that is properly humidified for a more consistent climate. In general, if a temperature—either hot or cold—is a cause ... Read More

Rhythm Guitar vs Lead Guitar

...play everything from simple pentatonic scales to 3-octave major and minor scales is a good idea for students wanting to learn how to play lead guitar. It’s hugely important that students learning these scales use alternate picking in their right hand. Alternate picking is the motion of picking a note down and then up with the right hand. It’s usually easier for students to only pick notes up or down, but this is a bad habit that should be fixed as soon as possible. When you pick only one direction, the energy and motion it takes to get back into position to pick the ... Read More
