Joanna S

Instruments: Violin Cello Viola

I typically use the Applebaum String Builder method books, and supplement with solo pieces as needed. I encourage regular practice, as students who feel they are progressing and doing well tend to enjoy their instrument more. As they become more advanced, they are encouraged to start giving opinions on what they want to learn. One thing that makes my studio unique is that I don't just teach how to play an instrument, I teach my students how to practice. Read More

Abigail M

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola

I began teaching private students in high school, and have been consistently teaching students in my studio for the past five years. Many of my students have gone on to be very successful in youth orchestras, school programs, and music conservatories. During my senior year at university, I had the opportunity to serve as a faculty member for my university's pre-college music program. In this role, I represented the university by providing musical instruction to young upper string students. Read More

Josh H

Instruments: Violin Cello Viola

I will always set goals that I know are within reach for my students. I want to create an environment that will help them develop a passion for music in a way in which they are comfortable, not frustrated. In my mind I am always going to put the person first that I am teaching by trying to find out what inspires them. I will then assess and change my style accordingly. Read More

Jacquelyn J

Instruments: Violin Cello Viola

I am a passionate instructor who enjoys working with students of all ages. I started performing, professionally, at a very young age, during my 6 years at the Alabama School of Fine Arts. From there, I attended the Louisiana State University, as a cello performance major and performed with the school symphony, as well as the Alexandria Symphony, the Lake Charles Symphony and local venues. I went on to get my Master's degree at Georgia State University and then returned to Louisiana State University for my final degree in Cello Performance. Read More

Kelly D

Instruments: Violin Viola

I have been playing violin for more than a decade. I began teaching violin three years ago at the same music school I started my own studies in. I started as a summer chamber councilor and then began teaching students as a private instructor. I use mainly the Suzuki method, and other non-traditional methods. My goal is to have my students progress in their instrument, and not only gain important skills, but also grow to love music! Read More

Marcela C

Instruments: Violin Viola

For intermediate students I try to make it fun, according to their ages, may be throw some pop tunes here and there, or if they are more serious into classical then I would definitely enjoy the challenge of teaching relaxation techniques during difficult passages such as double stops, high positions, string crossings, etc. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level.

Teacher In Spotlight

Cameron H

Instruments: Clarinet

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Since at least medieval times. My last name, Harper, is an occupational name for a harp player on the medieval court, an important position that was often hereditary.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I wasn't a musician, I would most likely have studied computer science and engineering in college, with a focus on physics and astronomy. I do a lot of amateur observational astronomy and astrophotography in my free time and also have learned basic programming skills in Python and Java.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to perform Jackdaw for Bass Clarinet and Tape by Wayne Siegel. It is such a cool piece, but extremely challenging to do well. Among other things I am an amateur birder in my free time, so the piece combines multiple areas of interest.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I begin with long tones and other fundamental excercises that focus on scales, intervals, sound production, and articulation. Depending on how long I have to practice, I do this for between 5-30 minutes. My goal is to both warm up my mouth and hands to be reinforcing good habits while also giving myself time to get focused and anxious to make music. After this, I will take out the 32 Etudes & 40 Studies by Cyrille Rose. At this point, I have studied each of these etudes multiple times, but I refer to them to remind myself of the good habits that I learned along the way, while also working to improve phrasing and critical thinking in my playing. Only at this point, after both my warmup and etudes, will I begin to work on repertoire for auditions and performances as well as my personal interests.

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 Bachelor of Music in Clarinet Performance degree from Temple University. I am currently working towards a Master of Music in Clarinet Performance degree at Carnegie Mellon University. I chose this degree because my main goal as a musician is to achieve a high level of mastery and knowledge of the clarinet, and this degree allows me to focus the most time on this goal. I believe that having a high level of mastery on the instrument is valuable not only for performing, but teaching as well.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
My curriculum is student-centric, meaning that lessons look different for each person. This is to prioritize meeting the specific needs of each student and adapting to how they learn best. Some books that I am likely to reference are the Rubank method books for beginners and the 32 Etudes & 40 Studies by Cyrille Rose for more advanced students. I use these books because I have personally played through these books cover to cover and am confident in their educational value to students.

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.
