Rachel B

Instruments: Violin Banjo Fiddle

My methos are geared towards the specific student and what he/she wants to learn. For students who specifically want to learn fiddle or banjo, I would mostly focus on learning by ear as I believe that conveys the style in the most authentic form. For classical students, we can work from the suzuki method books, but without strictly adhering to the teaching method. I believe that a combination of music reading and learning by ear will create the most musical and practical aproach to learning an instrument. Read More

Caitlin V

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Electric Violin

My goal as a Strings Instructor is to have my students be exposed to all the wonderful music that is out there in the world and to develop an appreciation for it. Some students haven't even decided what their favorite music is when they come to me. Students enjoy discovering music and it is my goal to guide them. I like to have students write out their goals as performers and musicians. Read More

Todd B

Instruments: Violin

I use the Suzuki method as well as the Doflein method books, and will choose other specific methods depending on what else the student would like to learn and what will help develop style,technique, and musicality. We will also have fun with seasonal and holiday music. Playing the violin is not about burying your head in a piece of music and learning just for memorization. It's about having fun, enjoying the music, making it musical, and most of all, loving what you are doing. Read More

Robert H

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Trumpet

I have been around music practically since I was born, as my parents were both professional musicians and our house was constantly filled with the sounds of Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert. I initially decided to study piano and violin performance but changed my focus to education and teaching. As a passionate musician, I have enjoyed playing in symphony orchestras through the years, and I've found that being part of a group of people whose purpose is to produce a beautiful work of art is one of the most enjoyable experiences one can have.

Instruments: Violin Bass Guitar

Under these teachers I've been fortunate to travel all over the country playing violin, one such location being Carnegie Hall for the crescendo competition. In recent years, I am currently now at Lipscomb University where I'm studying Biochemistry and Music. At Lipscomb, I continued to develop my music education but in a different fashion. I studied bass under Rob Byus, Blake Shelton's bass player. I was selected to play for Lipscomb's jazz, and commercial ensembles as a bass player and chosen to be part of the Avalon quartet as a violist. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
In order to practice effectively, there are three keys. First, it's crucial to find a time and space where you can be focused and comfortable. This means finding a place that is free of distractions and deciding what amount of practice time suits you best. Some students learn better in short stints spread out over time, while others like to set aside an hour or two to dive deeply into their practice. Find your balance! Second, it is vital to both warm up and take small breaks. Warming up might include scales or other technical practices for your voice or instrument, and small breaks could include drinking some water and stretching. Finally, it is vital to identify your biggest areas of difficulty and to focus on these during your practice session. It is common to want to practice things you already know and are comfortable playing, but true growth will only come from focusing on the sections of music or techniques that don't come easily. Your teacher can help you identify what these areas of difficulty are, and can help hone in on the exercises and pieces of music that will most help you practice these things!

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Everyone has a unique timeline and is ready to start lessons at a different time. For children, the most important criteria is that they have a personal passion to start their music lessons. Second, it is important that the child is capable of sitting and focusing for about 30 minutes at a time. This is crucial not only for the lesson environment, but also so that they are able to focus on practicing between lessons. For very young children, it is important that the guardian is able to sit in on lessons and be a resource to the child at home in terms of encouraging focused practiced and reviewing basic techniques from the lesson.

When will I start to see results?
Everyone grows at a different rate, but results come in different forms. For a beginner, a clear result can be evident after a few weeks upon completing a first melody or small assignment. Other results, like precise intonation and technique, occur slowly over time and can be sensed over the course of months or years. My favorite way to track progress is to record my practice, recitals, or lessons (if both the teacher and student are comfortable with this) so that I can go back and listen to where I came from down the line.

...chord + Major 3rd These chords sound beautiful, light and dramatic. They’re used in everything from jazz to pop. To build a major seventh chord, add a major third interval to a major chord. A C major seventh chord is C-E-G-B.   Dominant 7th chords: Major chord + Minor 3rd Dominant seventh chords are found everywhere in music, but are hugely important in blues music because they serve as the genre’s harmonic foundation. These chords sound slightly tense, but not overly-dramatic like diminished chords. Dominant chords are constructed by adding a minor third to a major chord. A C dominant 7 chord is C-E-G-Bb.   Minor 7th chords: Minor chord... Read More

A section by section breakdown of the song. Each chord and how long to play it for.   If you don’t read music, please don’t be intimidated. This is a cheat sheet that can help you get through the tune quickly and easily.

...ascending or descending. Going up, the melodic scale looks almost identical to the major scale with the exception of the lowered third scale degree (“me”). However, going down, the scale duplicates the natural minor scale: Ascending: whole – half – whole – whole – whole – whole – half. Descending: whole – whole – half – whole – whole – half – whole. This particular minor scale is best sung both ascending and descending so that the alternation between the two directions is fully realized by the singer. Chromatic Scales C4 – C#4 – D4 – D#4 – ...

Jazz Scales: The Whole Tone Scale

...are the whole tone scale in “diatonic” triads (I put “diatonic” in quotations because the whole tone scale isn’t a diatonic scale, but the concept for the purpose of practicing is the same). These specific exercises display another interesting thing about the construction of the whole tone scale. If you take two augmented triads a whole step apart, then you have the complete whole tone scale. The third exercise is particularly interesting because it creates a hemiola. This makes the exercise more rhythmically interesting.   This last exercise uses notes outside of the whole tone scale. The fourth note of each four ... Read More

Keep Writing     Asking, “How To Write a Pop Song”, is a good step to take if you’re interested in writing music, but it has to be answered with action if you ever want to get anywhere. A fruitful songwriting practice is like any other sort of practice. You gain skill, confidence, and experience over a long, tedious period of time. Set goals for yourself and commit to meeting them.

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.
