Missy W

Instruments: Guitar Voice Violin Flute Piccolo Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

Upon graduation from college, I worked with autistic support students within Pittsburgh Public schools. I secured my music teaching position working in the same district shortly there after. I taught grades kindergarten through eighth. I taught general music along with instrumental music and choir. I also coached middle school cross country runners for several seasons. Ive recently left the physical classroom but cannot wait for private students to begin teaching within a home studio or virtually of course! Read More

Aaron S

Instruments: Violin

My teaching experience began close to 10 years ago, beginning with private lessons and eventually moving towards chamber music and alternative styles. My performance experience began when I was six years old, and I've performed in many different types of areas, including: Solo, chamber music, orchestra, classical and fiddle competitions, musicals, small jazz ensembles, and chamber orchestra. Being actively engaged in the professional scene allows me to provide knowledge of the expectations and necessities of a successful musician, all of which I pass on to my students. Read More

Katherine A

Instruments: Violin

As I said before in my experience, I am a certified Suzuki violin teacher by the Suzuki Association of the Americas, and it is for that reason I principally use the Suzuki Methodology. However, I know every student is different. It is for that reason that I apply differently to each of them. I encourage my students to work toward different goals that we set up in the beginning of their lessons. Read More

Naomi F

Instruments: Violin

I like to have a consistent plan for all of my lessons, so that students know what to expect, as well as the best methods for practicing. I always start my students off with a warm-up consisting of scales or a technical exercise that relates to the piece that we are working on. I then go over the "trouble spots" of a piece with the student before diving into longer sections. Read More

Joen V

Instruments: Violin Viola

I have the teaching experience as of CMU, Duquesne University, and El Sistema en Venezuela. Have the training , and the privilege of the best schools in The USA, and Europe. Have achieved what not too many violists have, International prizes, world premieres and solos in the best venues like Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center, and Heinz Hall. Very patient, and caring with students. My students are now in the best orchestras, and chambee groups . Read More

Charles A

Instruments: Violin Viola

One of my favorite things to hear from a student at the end of a lesson is “I know exactly what I need to do.” Knowing how to practice on our own is important because it helps foster a greater sense of self-awareness and it leads to us becoming more confident and secure players. As a teacher, I like to approach challenging passages in a holistic way, addressing basic ideas like pitch and rhythm but also more large-scale concepts such as breathing and posture. Read More

Steven S

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Double Bass

I believe that all students can achieve at a high musical level when they are encouraged and paired with a teacher with high expectations. The most successful students tend to be the ones that are taught by great educators that can elicit the hidden talents from their students. For this reason, it is important to find a music teacher that is passionate not only about teaching, but one who is also driven to pass-on a love of music to others. Read More

Blank Space Chords for Beginner Guitar (Taylor Swift)

...technique. Split the guitar into two string sets: the low strings (strings 4-5-6) and the high strings (strings 1-2-3). Try to imitate the bass and snare of the drum pattern. Bass = low strings, and snare = high strings. Use the boom-chick and the boom-chicka as your starting point.   Also, you don’t need to strum too hard. Brush the strings and try to recreate that bouncy feel that is a key component of the song.   Being that this tune is largely electronic based, there is no guitar part to reference for the Blank Space chords. However, you can create your own ... Read More
