Kyle W

Instruments: Piano Violin

My passion for music teaching goes back to my own experiences of starting piano lessons as a 10 year old. I was always interested in music as a child and was given the opportunity to take piano lessons from an extraordinary piano teacher. My method of piano instruction is modeled after what I was taught and also what I learned through my higher education experiences. I majored in music education at Bethel College, with piano as my principal instrument. Read More

Tristan B

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Recorder Euphonium Tuba Mallet Percussion

In 2010, I graduated from VanderCook College of Music with a Bachelor's in Music Education. I have played in a variety of instrumental ensembles on different instruments, from euphonium, trombone, marimba and drum-set to name a few. I am motivated to helping people accomplish their goal of learning their instrument. I teach music for Chicago Public Schools and have started a music program at my school teaching, marching band, guitar, choir, drum-line and orchestra. Read More

Daniel S

Instruments: Guitar Voice Violin Bass Guitar Harmonica

I've been teaching voice and violin for the past year and a half to children and adults but I mostly tend to work with younger students from early teens well into the 20s who want to pursue music. The background for my teaching experience comes from a few different sources. In 2014-2015, as an operations director and mentor with non-profit Off The Wall Graffiti in LA, I would regularly mentor young people who were getting in trouble for doing graffiti in the streets and needed guidance and a positive way to be creative.

Annarita T

Instruments: Violin

For my beginner students who are children, I usually start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements and sometimes Lee W. Kikuchi's Musicianship for Strings. Scales and arpeggios follow shortly after. As the student progresses, I follow up with Harvey S. Whistler's Introducing the Positions (this book can also work with adults). Etude books such as Wohlfahrt and Kreutzer come into play when the student is ready. As far as repertiore, I use the first few Suzuki books and Barber's "Soloists for Young Violinists" for my younger students (the latter can also work with adults). Read More

Dan P

Instruments: Violin

My experience in teaching violin started in 2001 as an violin instructor at Music House Inc. Over the years I had been teaching groups as well as private sessions with students from public schools from all over the Chicago area. Learning music is a part of developing mental abilities and perception skills that help the student in areas of interests other then strictly musical: from appreciation of the world around them to skills about thinking of the self in relation to their surroundings.

Jesse C

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Electric Violin Fiddle

I first began teaching as an undergraduate college student in 2002. One of my childhood piano teachers invited me to teach violin, viola, and cello in her studio of primarily piano students. A short time later, after being hired as an accompanist at a local string studio, I was hired as a string teacher within the studio, where I taught for several years. Over the next fifteen years, my teaching continued in these two settings: studio teaching, as well as private lessons given in my home or the home of my students. Read More

Nissa A

Instruments: Violin Viola

I tailor the lessons to students' unique goals. No matter the age or experience, I try to have a continuous dialogue between the student and myself about their progress and what direction they'd like to head in to make sure they are engaging with material that suits their needs and goals at the same time. As long as we are working toward a common goal together, I'm happy to accommodate any particular goals a student may have, as long as we are still working toward proper technique and expressivity.

5 Reasons Why You Should Take Summer Music Lessons

...the most awake and alive. Things seem to just happen in the summer. There’s no better time than the summer for taking on a new challenge, doing something new and making moves to better yourself with something like music.   Yes, a lot of people take up new hobbies and challenges for themselves during the first month of the new calendar year, but the dreariness of January isn’t nearly as suitable for doing something fun and new as the summer months are in my opinion.     Reason #4: The days are long and the free time is abundant  ...

Understanding Time Signatures in Music

...multiple time signatures:       Time Signatures In Popular Music To help give you an idea of what time signatures sound like, we’re going to give you examples from some common and lesser known meters found in popular music.     2/4 “Life On Mars” by David Bowie     Though it can also interpreted as being in 4/4, “Life On Mars” is a good example of the marching pulse of a 2/4 time signature. During the choruses especially, the chords seem to revolve and reset after the 2nd beats, which gives the song its triumphant feel.   3/4 “Waltz #2” by Elliott Smith   ... Read More

Vocal Exercises for Singers: Breathing and Beginner Exercises

...– The singer inhales and exhales for a predetermined number of beats (or seconds) as though he or she is inhaling and exhaling through a straw. To achieve this affect, simply imagine your lips are surrounding a typical beverage straw, and begin to inhale. You should feel a bit of resistance in both the inhale and exhale due to the constricted lips. Try the following sequence, and eventually work your way up to longer inhales and exhales, such as 10, 12, or even 16 beats each:     Inhale for four beats; exhale for four beats (repeat cycle twice).

Jazz Scales: The Diminished Scale

...      These are just a few examples of seemingly endless possibilities. I’m still discovering new patterns. The second example is an extremely popular pattern in jazz. If you listen to a lot of jazz, I can guarantee you’ll hear it everywhere. Application to Improvisation You can probably figure out now how to apply the diminished scale to improvising on jazz tunes, but, to be thorough, I’ll provide an example. Whenever you see or hear one of the chords from above, you can use the diminished scale. There are many popular jazz tunes that have dominant seventh flat nine chords. A few of these ... Read More
