Lainie P

Instruments: Voice

For all students, I like to get a sense of what sort of musical knowledge the student has before starting. It is highly important to me to figure out what exactly the student wants out of the lesson and I will adapt my teaching style to fit their needs. I am happy to take on beginning students with no knowledge of music or the voice and give them they fundamentals and work up from there. Read More

Kevin W

Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard

I have been teaching since I started University, about 6 years ago, both as a private teacher and also as a teacher at private schools in LA. I have had students of all ages, from kids in school to adults, all levels. I personally believe that music and practicing should be fun. Motivation is key when learning an instrument, and by exposing the student to their preferred musical style will allow them to work even harder at their skills. Read More

Kip B

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

My teaching background stems from being taught as a 4 year old and seeing the passion of those who invested in me and my future from a young age. I was encouraged to have a strong practice routine on a consistent schedule so I try and instill the same practice in both my vocal and keyboard students. I believe music is supposed to be a fun experience and always look for ways to implement fun exercises so that the passion for learning is increased. Read More

Adrian R

Instruments: Voice

My experience working with many different voice teachers and other professionals have given me a number of concepts I use to help students understand how to use their voice. My students are free to work on whatever music they choose, while I assign pieces to them designed to engage their instrument correctly and foster a healthy and functional 'form' for singing; such that it would benefit whatever genre or style of music they choose.

Jannel R

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Flute Drums Bass Guitar Organ Accordion Ukulele Music Keyboard

I believe that everyone of all ages can benefit from music lessons. Learning an instrument relieves stress and promotes optimal health. I believe that we are all creative being and music is a creative outlet. Researchers have found the acedemic potential of the student is increased by taking lessons for several years. I love helping others finding their own personal voice and helping them to get on their feet as an artist. Read More

Becky S

Instruments: Guitar Voice Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I am a musician and comedian, passionate about teaching the next batch of artists to be creative and daring in their art. I love helping students learn new skills as well as introducing them to new music in order to help them cultivate their personal style and artistic voice. When I was first learning guitar, I was frustrated about not knowing how to take the ideas in my head and convey them through my guitar. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Joyce L

Instruments: Voice

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If the child can follow directions and remain focused for 15" segments, as well as discern between different types of vowel sounds, he/she is ready to start. The specific vocal parts (i.e. soprano/alto/tenor/bass) are not applicable to prepubescent children. It's only after puberty that a child's voice is no longer categorized as boy or girl.

When will I start to see results?
The teacher, hopefully, will be able to detect changes first. However, students will be able to hear volume and vowel control as well as the ability to sing higher and lower, just by doing it well!

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
When I was in Jr. High, the music teacher took time from her lunch breaks, weekly to get me started with voice lessons. Also freshman year of high school, I was informed by a teacher that I needed to go to college, thus changed my business courses to college courses. Teachers always represented something special to me. They were kind, knowledgeable and insightful. I tried to become those things myself. Hopefully, I've accomplished some of those. My Jr. High music teacher's piano playing was lovely and her attitude was positive.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
It was apparent that singing was my forte. Back to Captain Kangaroo, I knew that I could easily mimic the "classical singer's" voice. I remember thinking "Something must be wrong; I'm just a kid." Later, I performed in my first large talent show with my dad playing guitar and my little sister singing backup. Then, in High School, when my class opted to do a Senior Play, rather than the usual Musical, in which I was expected to sing a leading role, a concert was given so that I might sing my 1st major solo. It was "Without a Song." (Still have the newspaper review)!

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The teacher should guide the student with exactly what to practice, how to do that, and why. Psychologists these days believe that one cannot attain mastery of a skill (dance, playing an instrument or singing) in less than 10,000 hours - so that's what we go for. I have mapped out how long it would take to attain a similar stature. (Of course, if someone has been listening to music and singing since childhood, such attainment is already on its way!) Beginners are cool - but they need to be mindful that all skills take time and work to develop. Hopefully developing their vocal skill is one they find worthwhile.

Learning to sing using correct technique and coordination is the most important element to maintaining vocal health and limiting the risk of injury. A common issue with untrained singers is shouting, forcing, or pushing the voice when trying to sing high notes. This places great strain on the voice, causing vocal fatigue, and should therefore be avoided. The vocal folds can also become irritated by mucus derived from allergies or illness, so it is important to rest the voice well through plenty of sleep and maintain vocal hydration by drinking water. Before singing, a good vocal warm up should always be completed in order to prepare the voice

Learning to sing as a child is fun, rewarding, and vastly beneficial to overall development. Children can develop their ability to accurately recreate pitch, theory knowledge, and singing technique. Young students can also develop their concentration, listening skills, and familiarity with different musical genres. Learning to sing can also be character building, such as instilling a hard-working attitude, developing self-discipline and confidence through practice, taking exams, entering competitions, or performing live. Students are advised to start their lessons no earlier than 12 years of age, as they have yet to reach vocal maturity before that age.

Easy Guitar Chords and How to Play Them

...When you’re just starting out and learning the fundamentals of playing the guitar and some easy guitar chords, it is both an exciting and frustrating experience.

Strings should be replaced about once a year for beginning students and every 4-6 months for advanced and pre-professional students. In addition to producing a dull sound, old strings also have the tendency of going false, or in other words, they lack a clear tonal center that makes it difficult to play in tune. Also, if you notice that a string is ... Read More
