Kristin F

Instruments: Voice

I began teaching in 2010 when a friend asked if she could take lessons from me. Since then, I've had quite a few students throughout my college years. I've had the opportunity to instruct students with a wide range of potential, but everyone has learned something. I adjust my instruction based on the skill level of the student. This is very important--in order to grow, one must be built from the ground up. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I teach harmony, rhythm, technique, melody, and basic sight reading by a two fold approach. First is to really feel into the music. This means learning to listen deeply with curiosity, intention, respect, and joy bringing the meaning of play into every aspect of learning. The second part is to begin with the basics of music theory by grounding fully into the fundamentals. Learning to work in forms that may seem like an alien language at first but when systematically approached with patience, dedication, and a spirit of playfulness and fun will open up and begin to reveal paths into learning and understanding that will greatly increase ones ability to engage in all musical forms.

Klaw M

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

My teaching experience goes back to while Im in my college years, I began teaching private in my own home studio and go around teaching at students home for two years. I love to share what I receive, and to learn from the experience as Im teaching to my students as well. So far in my teaching experience, I focus on building trust and consistency. I always encourage my students to practice consistently, and have fun making music because making music should be enjoyable, not stress. Read More

Logan V

Instruments: Voice Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet

My teaching experience includes serving as a middle school band director, high school band director, middle school choir director, high school choir director, elementary school general music and choir teacher, and elementary school clarinet teacher. The youngest student I've ever taught was six years old, and I'm happy to work with children, adolescents, and adults. During undergrad in college, I also worked the music theory tutoring lab giving theory lessons to college students, so if a high school student is studying music theory, I would be able to assist with that as well.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Most of my family doesn’t play music, but my grandpa passed down an old Gibson archtop guitar when he died, and it’s become one of my signature musical colors in many of my projects.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I was 18, I composed a 7 minute classical piece for full orchestra that was selected and performed by the Austin Symphony Orchestra, and that experience changed my life, inspiring me to pursue music not only as a personal art but as a major and career.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started on drums, but wanted to learn guitar because I wanted to be able to play and write whole songs with just one instrument, so I started picking up my mom’s old guitar. I eventually added bass guitar and electric guitar to help fill in for my church’s worship band. Later on I added classical guitar in high school to broaden my skills and learn more about the classical world in general. In college I took my first piano classes and lessons, since keyboard skills were becoming vital to my composing and arranging abilities. I picked up ukulele along the way just for fun, and in recent years have begun independent cello and violin studies, since they always seemed like they would be a rewarding challenge, and they are.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love jamming to straight ahead rock and indie rock songs, the simpler the better. There’s something freeing about playing music that’s easy: it makes it more about the feeling and the message and less about impressing anybody.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I’d be a cowboy. I grew up with horses, love being outside, and always have an itch for a slightly dangerous adventure. Campfires, old songs, and sleeping under the stars–this is reminding me I should go camping more often, haha.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I’m not an advanced cellist, but it’s hard to imagine a richer experience than performing the Bach Cello suites. They are heartbreakingly beautiful, steel clad in their composition structure, and playful and enjoyable in their expression.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in music composition, and I was primarily inspired by the great symphonies and film scores. I love telling stories through music, and film composing is a wonderful means of connecting with a wide audience at a deep level. Composition has also given me the opportunity to connect with musicians of many instruments and disciplines, as well as filmmakers, serving to expand my musical and storytelling perspective.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I warm up with scales and arpeggios with a metronome, no matter what instrument. For guitar I will also do additional exercises for the left hand. I’ll then dig into the piece I’m working on, going slowly over what I have under my belt so far, and even more slowly add another section. I’ll round out the practice by playing through all the sections together, as if it were a performance, and perhaps review a piece that’s familiar and practiced.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I often use Bastion piano books, since that was introduced to me when I was learning. For guitar, especially for older intermediate students, I always recommend the book Fretboard Logic, since it gives wonderful insight into the design of the fretboard and gives you tools to improvise with command and intention.

A Quick Guide To Playing Indie Guitar

...you’re not familiar, power chords are chords that only play the root and fifth of a chord. This means that they’re neither major nor minor. A hallmark of indie music is its attention to vocal and instrumental melodies, so guitarists writing in the genre continue to explore different ideas to better serve single notes of melody instead of the thick, chunky power chords many bands of all genres previously have over the past few decades.   A Power Chord: A Major 3rd Interval: Here’s Brooklyn-based indie rockers Grizzly Bear with a song that is made up of a myriad of interesting and complex chord shapes on the...

...music. Some teachers have a system that allows the child to review all the pieces in the repertoire each week or every two weeks, other teachers have a different schedule. The end goal, however, is to keep the skills fresh. Think of it this way, once a child learns a new phrase or word, she doesn’t quit using it because she ‘gets’ it. No, she keeps using it, and figuring out different ways to fit it into the lexicon of her language. The same thing works with review and Suzuki pieces – you get it, you practice it, and then ...

The Accordion: Bluegrass Music's Forgotten Instrument

...The air is turned into sound by the reeds when they vibrate. The precise control of which reeds will vibrate creates the chords and notes of the piece of music being played. How these chords and notes are selected are by means of the keys on either side of the instrument. The right hand side keys of the accordion are reserved for the melody and treble notes. The left hand is usually for the bass notes and preset chords. Pressing a certain key allows air to go across the reed associated with the note or chord and causes it to vibrate. ... 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.
