Darrell V

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Saxophone Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My process is based on (but does not adhere strictly to) the Classical approach to Western tonal harmony and asks that the students develop certain fundamentals of technique and theory.  In my experience, this structure creates the strongest foundation for pupils to build the rest of their musical lives on, whether professionally or solely for personal enjoyment.  All of my students are on the fast track to studying music theory.

Ivan O

Instruments: Violin Viola

I am a instructor that is conscious about the importance of good sound technique and instilling in the student the passion in music. I graduated from California State University with a Bachelors in Music performance, viola being my main instrument. I received a Masters degree in Church Music and pursued more studies in children's music pedagogy. I went through the Kodaly certification at Texas State University. I have been teaching children since 2000 on a formal basis. Read More

Katie L

Instruments: Violin Viola

For beginning students who are children, I usually start with Leonards Essential Elements. Once my student understands the fundamentals I will begin to introduce scales, etudes, and solo pieces that are appropriate for their level. I also love to throw in a fun piece (a favorite song or something from the radio) at the end of my lessons. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in and focus on those areas.

Mary A

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Ukulele Fiddle Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Every student has a different learning style and learns at their own pace. I myself am a tactile kinesthetic learner and tend to teach this way. For example, I enjoy using colored pencils to highlight articulation and dynamics. If a student is younger, I use stickers to help students keep track of where they are in the piece. I tailor my instruction to what each of my students needs and want to learn. Read More

Marcus R

Instruments: Guitar Violin Saxophone Bass Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Electric Violin Fiddle

Around this time, I also began taking students for private lessons on violin, guitar, mandolin, banjo and all the other various things I play. In both the bigger theory classes and my one-on-one lessons, I really encourage students to work on material that they enjoy and to relate their studies to the things that they're passionate about. I want to ensure that my students are as excited about music as I am! Read More

Michael F

Instruments: Violin Viola

I start beginning students who are children with instruction in the basics of playing the instrument, helping them to play their first couple of pieces before reading music. I follow this as quickly as possible with Samuel Applebaum's String Builder. I find this particular method the simplest and quickest way to learn reading music on the instrument. I then transfer into other method books (including the Suzuki materials) to guide the student through the levels of playing. Read More

...Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind & Fire, Chicago, the Bee Gees, and many more achieved that sound that is now synonymous with the 70s by utilizing full horn sections (3-5 horns). Bands like Tower of Power had even bigger horn sections. In addition to being an ensemble instrument, the saxophone was featured as a solo instrument on many recordings throughout the 1970s. Perhaps one of the most well-known saxophone solos of all time was Phil Woods’s solo from Billy Joel’s 1977 recording “Just the Way You Are”. Clarence Clemons was a permanent fixture in Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. 1980s ... Read More

...before going to the striking III chord that starts the bridge. The final ‘A’ section also ends on the I chord as a final cadence. If you can train your ear to hear these subtle differences, you shouldn’t have any trouble knowing where you are in the form at all times.   As we’ve gone over a few times before, another effective way to familiarize yourself with new changes is to apply digital patterns.     This first example uses 1235 over each chord of the ‘A’ section. On the chords that last a whole measure, I used 12357531. It’s ... Read More

...music notation.”   How to Read Tablature   The tablature system, or TAB, has been around for centuries. It first appeared formally during the Baroque period and was used to notate lute music. Modern music notation has since adopted this system for contemporary and popular guitar music and, over the past few decades, this system has become somewhat standardized. The six-line staff represents the six strings of the guitar. The numbers illustrate the frets that need to be pressed. A zero “0” indicates that that string should be played open and an “X” tells you to mute that string. There are many ... Read More

...in the rush of the day that could help you make big progress at home between lessons. 5. PRACTICE. It sounds cliche but consistent and regular practice is the only way to build muscle memory and make success second nature. Students aren’t just training their minds, they’re training their bodies with proper posture and increased dexterity. As a result, those muscles remember and benefit from regular exercise. Really want to hit an audition out of the park? Make sure that you practice a little each day. Want to nail your favorite song? Make playing the notes second nature by repeating them until you don’t need the ... 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.
