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

For beginning students, I start with the Essential Elements book. If the student has already taken lessons or is in their school band/orchestra, I encourage moving onto the Rubank Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced method books depending on ability. Once a student has proven that they are able to handle it, I will start on solo repertoire. Particularly for college-bound musicians who wish to major in music, the majority of their lessons will be based on preparing solo literature for All District or college auditions. Read More

Instruments: Violin Viola

As a believer in the "magic" of positive reinforcement, I don't see any other way in encouraging my students to make progress. During a lesson, we first review material that was assigned to practice from the previous lesson. Clear instruction on how to make progress is given, as well as practice goals for the next lesson. Then, it's time for new material! At the end of each lesson, we write down practice goals in a notebook the student keeps. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Heather M

Instruments: Violin Viola

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had a teacher in high school that inspired me to study music in college. She was an amazing musician but she was also an all-around, kind, passionate, fun individual. She showed me that you could do lots of other things besides playing an instrument or study music. Studying music gives you this opportunity. You can still be a doctor and be a professional musician, you can still be a rock climber and study music in college. Choosing music as a career allowed me to fulfill all of my interests. Aside from being a musician and music teacher, I am also a yoga teacher, a coder, a visual artist. I can do so many different things because music has taught me discipline and determination for my wants and desires.

When will I start to see results?
You will see results when practicing outside of the lesson takes place on a regular basis. Practice does not make perfect, but practice does make progress. Trust has to be put forth in the teacher, if your teacher asks you to practice one scale for five minutes, ask why and then go and do it. Knowing the reasoning behind why we are practicing can help us understand what we need to do to get the result we are all expecting. patience is key, instruments are extremely difficult, give yourself realistic goals and expectations. No one has ever left their first lesson sounding like a professional.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your student expresses interest, they are ready. Lessons can be tailored to whatever the students learning needs are. Age 3 might be too young for an instrument, but it isn't too young for music in general. Find a teacher that will meet your child where they are at and fill their desire to learn music or an instrument. If your child wants to only play Taylor Swift songs, as long as they understand they need to learn the fundamentals first, there is no reason the teacher should deny your child that desire.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
First and foremost, self-reflection. Listen to other musicians play what you are practicing and decide that is how you want to sound. Start practicing with a plan and what is expected. Make a checklist and grab a kitchen timer. Lots of time can be wasted in practice by repeating the same thing over and over, to avoid this, choose 5 measures at a time that trouble you and set a timer for five minutes. Once the timer dings move on, it doesn't matter if you solved the problem or not, I promise by spending a focused five minutes on a passage progress has been made. If you have a younger child, make practicing fun. In my lessons, we can learn games to incorporate into practice and even determine ways practicing can be rewarded. Practicing for an hour is unrealistic for a younger student, but practicing for five minutes and then going outside to play and then practicing for another five minutes is much more realistic. Practice is not always fun, but it can be.

Four Chord Songs

...If you’re not super familiar with music, you’d probably be shocked to learn how simple most impactful popular songs are. Time and time again, songs with simple melodies and chord progressions like Gotye’s “Somebody I Used To Know” top the charts and go on to get stuck in our heads for weeks on end. When you consider how songwriters are constantly presented with a virtually endless amount of sonic possibilities, it makes sense that writers often methodically narrow down their options to just three or four chords played over basic rhythms within a song. We’ve got five excellent four chord songs... Read More

The uke’s limited playing options are one of its greatest strengths as an instrument, and songwriters stand to gain a lot if they spend just a little time with it.   Reason #9: Ukuleles are unpretentious   It’s hard to imagine someone being pretentious while playing ukulele.

For those of you who accepted that as a challenge and succeeded, I now challenge you to try to do the same with a bebop tune. I feel confident saying that this challenge is near impossible to complete, even for a seasoned musician. Also, with the specific tune I’ve chosen as an example, not using Roman Numerals would make things way more difficult. First, check ... Read More

Ray Brown’s philosophy is that knowing the fundamentals of music is essential for making you a good musician.   Last but not least is Patterns For Jazz [For Bass Clef Instruments] by Jerry Coker, Jimmy Casale, Gary Cambell, and Jerry Greens. What this book does is patternize jazz chord shapes, scales, and arpeggios into exercises that make playing jazz bass lines second nature. Clifford Brown’s practice routine, Ray Brown’s Bass Method, and Patterns For Jazz have been essential to my understanding of jazz bass technique.   Role of the Bassist ... Read More
