Tori R

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola

My approach to teaching is gentle and warm while maintaining high standards of excellence for both my instruction as well as my expectations of my students. When we both strive to do our best work each lesson, we have fun and learn new things which leads to more interest and pride on the student's part. There is nothing more exciting in teaching than seeing students progress and be proud of what they have done. Read More

Alexis E

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin

For piano beginners I use the Faber book series. I prefer these books because it gives a mixture of theory and technique that I think is essential to learn at an early stage. For violin beginners I prefer to use the Suzuki Method books. These books are great because they get the student playing quickly, while still introducing the foundations of basic theory for reading music. Beginning guitar is a little more flexible depending on the students goals and the style they would like to learn. Read More

Orlando M

Instruments: Piano Violin

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace with the encouragement of the teacher to encourage their musical goals with a consistent desire to progress. No two teachers teach in the same way, just as no two students will learn in the same way. A teachers style is based on their educational philosophy. Read More

Hui L

Instruments: Violin Music

I set big goals for each year for every student. Auditioning for the local youth orchestras, participating in local competitions or auditioning for colleges, and then we make monthly plans to work towards that goal. I also plan annual recitals so that students can enjoy performing in a supportive environment, and learn how to work + enjoy working with a pianist, or in a chamber music group. Collaborative musical skills are essential in a musician. :) On top of standard repertory, I add scales and etudes as part of the students’ learning, but also highly enjoyable songs that the students can choose themselves.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Mindful practice is key. You can play for 8 hours a day and not actually be practicing. Practicing is about quality and quantity, so I don't ever push minimum practice times on my students (though I may give suggestions). If the student needs to practice for 2 hours to feel improvement, that is their choice. If they only need 10 minutes, that is fine as well. As long as the student is not just going through the motions. A good example of this is practicing scales. This is where I find the least amount of quality practicing being done, because scales can be boring, and they are repetitive, and you can very easily zone out while playing through all three octaves. However, mindful practicing would be playing a scale with a goal in mind. Does the student need to work more on having equal tone when they play? Then when they warm up with scales, that's what they should be thinking about. Or maybe it's keeping time- then they would be focusing on that while they play. These things don't just apply to scales- just practicing in general. There should always be a purpose, that is the only way to gain quality improvement.

When will I start to see results?
This is difficult to answer because there is no set time frame. I can tell you that the first lesson or two at least won't show much. The first few lessons are more about the student getting to know the teacher, and the teacher getting to know the student and learning how we respond to each other. It also depends on the level the student is at before beginning lessons, because it is more difficult to gauge improvement in the more intermediate and advanced levels since it is less obvious and the work is more detailed and fine. The biggest factor to consider is the student's level of dedication. We could see dramatic improvement in just one lesson, or we may not see it for 5 weeks because they don't apply themselves as heavily or are in the middle of a busy time in their lives and don't have the time to practice as much. Based on my experience I would say improvement may begin around 3-4 weeks.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I did not have a teacher that inspired me to go into music, however I did have a teacher that inspired me to think about music differently as I go throughout my career. His philosophy when he taught his students was that he was not teaching people to be musicians; he was teaching musicians to be people. The way I like to think of this is that I know that not every student that comes into my studio is going to want to become professional or even want to continue past a certain point in their lives- the majority are learning instruments for curiosity. That's good enough. The whole idea is just to grow as a human being and learn something, learn to enjoy something, and to have fun. That is really what it is all about. All I want for my students is to at least come out of my lessons having learned hard work and determination, and that they can do anything they set their minds to- even if it isn't music.

They have a fairly wide frequency spectrum that they record, so they are good for many different instruments. The Shure SM-57 is the most iconic and versatile microphone of all time. It is a great, basic mic for vocals, guitars, and certain frequencies of drums. The SM-57 offers immense value for its low cost which makes it great for recording a demo at home.   Condenser microphones are more sensitive than dynamics, and they are capable of ... 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.
