April C

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Flute Piccolo

I began teaching private music lessons during my college days. I was taking music education classes along with my performance degrees and the combination of the classes made me feel like i could teach lessons in a new and innovative way. A big focus in my curriculum is music theory. Music theory is such an important backbone to learning your instrument. I feel very confident that students will feel a complete understanding of the pieces they work on, because of the emphasis we put on theory. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Drums Bass Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Electric Violin Fiddle Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I really covered this in the above information,so continuing in more detail,it really depends on each individual student,their level of ability and age that determine the course of study.It also depends on the instrument.Some instruments like piano,violin or viola,books are more practical because the music is notated.With most fretted instruments,music is written in tableture which was originally used for the lute and brought back i think in the 1970s.Its easier than reading music and is more practical for those instruments.

Constance R

Instruments: Piano Violin

I find that the key to enjoyable lessons is to discover just the right sort of pieces a student likes to play. No one likes having to practice something they think is boring. It is with this in mind that I also incorporate games and flash cards and activities involving action for the little ones who can't sit long on a piano bench. I make sure we use ALL the keys of a piano from one end to the other, and the black ones too. Read More

I was viola section leader during three of my four years at Gaither High School, inspired to pursue music by my orchestra teacher Heather Grier (world-renowned violinist and friend of Andrea Bocceli). After graduating, I attended Hillsborough Community College as a music major, and I landed my first teaching job at Excel Music as a substitute teacher. I was asked to stay as a full time teacher, and thus I began my career in music education. 2009 - 2014: Excel Music, Strings Teacher 2014 - 2015: Hillsborough County Public Schools, Substitute Music Teacher 2015: Westshore Elementary School, Music Teacher 2015-2016: Sam Ash Clearwater, Private Lessons Teacher 2018-2025: Westchase Music School, Music Teacher, Music Theory Lab Manager, Assistant Director 2026-present: Music & Arts Brandon, Music Teacher Read More

Mike B

Instruments: Drums Conga Latin Percussion Djembe

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but here are a few questions and if you answer yes to any of them then your child is ready: Can they follow simple instructions and maintain focus for short periods (at least 10-15 minutes)? Are they able to handle some frustration when learning something new? Do they show a genuine interest in drums and music? Do they enjoy drumming on pots and pans or other objects around the house?

When will I start to see results?
Within an hour of dedicated practice using my lesson materials, students will experience noticeable improvement and growth in several key areas: 1. Enhanced Stick Control and Coordination: Muscle Memory: Repeated practice of rudiments and exercises will lead to improved muscle memory, resulting in smoother and more fluid stick control. Limb Independence: Focused exercises will enhance coordination between hands and feet, allowing for more complex and dynamic drumming patterns. Precision and Accuracy: Students will demonstrate greater accuracy in striking the drums and cymbals, with improved stick rebound and control. 2. Improved Timing and Rhythm: Internal Clock: Practicing with a metronome will strengthen their internal sense of timing, leading to more precise and consistent rhythm. Groove Development: Through repeated practice of rhythmic patterns, students will develop a stronger sense of groove and feel. Tempo Control: They will be able to maintain a steady tempo and execute rhythmic changes with greater accuracy. 3. Increased Confidence and Musicality: Self-Assurance: Successfully mastering new techniques and exercises will boost their confidence and motivation. Expressiveness: As they become more comfortable with the material, students will begin to inject their own personality and style into their playing. Musical Understanding: By practicing and internalizing different rhythmic patterns and styles, they will gain a deeper understanding of musical structure and phrasing. 4. Tangible Progress and Skill Development: New Techniques: Students will be able to apply newly learned techniques and concepts to their drumming. Repertoire Expansion: They will expand their repertoire of beats, fills, and grooves. Performance Readiness: With consistent practice, they will be better prepared to perform and share their drumming with others. Overall, an hour of focused practice with my lessons will result in: A noticeable improvement in technical proficiency. A stronger sense of rhythm and timing. Increased confidence and musicality. A deeper connection to the instrument and the joy of drumming. This tangible progress will not only be evident to the students themselves but also audible to anyone listening, as their drumming becomes more precise, expressive, and dynamic.

“Iris” - Goo Goo Dolls

...Easy Guitar Chords Arranged for Beginners   American alternative rock band, the Goo Goo Dolls, originally recorded “Iris” for the soundtrack of 1998 film City of Angels, the song was later included on the band’s sixth album Dizzy Up the Girl. The song has contributed greatly to the band’s success. Iris chords feature an unusual guitar tuning in which most of the strings are tuned to D, giving the guitar a chorus-like effect. It also has an unusual time feel switching between 4 and 3.   “Iris” has become one of the biggest rock hits from the 90s and it’s also one of... Read More

...chord of all. It is also perfectly suited to playing with the previously mentioned G major chord. The Em chord is played by placing your index finger on the A string, second fret and your middle finger on the D string, second fret. The rest of the strings are allowed to ring out open.     Popular songs such as “Livin’ on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi and “Purple Haze” by Jimi Hendrix are played in the key of Em. This is the easiest guitar key to play in, as all of the open notes on the instrument fall within the key.   C Major (Cmaj) ... Read More

Dealing with Frustration when Studying Music

...you are getting the most out of your music lessons.   Play Slowly One of the most common mistakes that beginner students make is trying to play songs too quickly. When you are first learning a new piece, play it slowly. Very slowly. Take the time to understand the proportional differences between each note. For instance, if you need to stretch a whole note out to last a full two seconds so that you can play a passage of 16th notes in proper time, do so. Using a metronome can help this process as it will keep your tempo steady. Don’t rush through music, as it’s only going to ... Read More

The Accordion: Bluegrass Music's Forgotten Instrument

...Bluegrass is a music with a long and storied history, starting with the first immigrants to settle in the Appalachian mountains. An aspect of that history that is being explored more and more frequently, as modern bands seek to expand the sound to its fullest, is the use of the accordion. This use of the accordion is not due to modern musicians looking to experiment just for the sake of experimenting. The first Bluegrass band, Bill Monroe and The Blue Grass Boys, had an accordion player in their band during early iterations of their group, but settled on not having one just before ... Read More

The Best Age to Start Drum Lessons

...while at the same time an eight year old who is small for their age could still have issues. Another issue is that of the maturity of the student – again, a mature six year old may be perfectly suited to start drum lessons. The other factor to consider is the student’s academic skills. There is a lot of work that goes into learning the drums beyond the physical end of things. The student should be able to learn how to read sheet music while also developing all of the techniques of rhythm and counting. Musical notation for drums and percussion is different than that for tonal instruments, so for some younger students, this can prove to be slightly difficult. ... Read More
