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

Instruments: Piano Voice

I teach music as a way of life. To be able to inspire, motivate and enrich a student's life through music has limitless possibilites. Strengthening one's self-esteem and dynamic expression through music can tranform one's life. Everyone has the potential to create. It takes willingness and courage to go beyond the musical note. My commitment as a teacher is to give students the opportunity to express themselves through music in their own unique way. Learning to play a musical instrument can be fun! Read More

Lori W

Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard

I structure my lessons so that each student knows exactly what to expect each week. We begin with Warmups, Scales, Technique, Sight-reading in piano and/or voice. Then we move onto the literature, checking posture for both Voice and Piano. We recap, at the end of each lesson, so that any questions may be answered. We set goals for rehearsals, memorization, study requirements. I record vocal exercises, or accompaniment tracks for the student so that they are able to practice more efficiently. Read More

Michael T

Instruments: Voice

I just recently moved to the Greater Phoenix Area. I have a very strong passion for singing and bringing music to others. I have three degrees in opera, but I have worked professionally singing everything from standard ballads to gospel songs. Performing all over the world has given me the opportunity to sing and learn things about other cultures that I would otherwise never have known about. My most recent accomplishment was singing the leading role of Hoffman in the french opera Les contes d'hoffman in Perieuguex France in the summer of 2012. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Voice Trumpet Bass Guitar

I've been teaching since 2005:  Privately with students in their home or my studio, with brick-and-mortar studios, and with online lessons services (like Musika).  It's most important that my students have fun learning their instrument, but I also emphasize daily practice and work on the fundamentals of whichever instrument he or she is learning.  After all, if you don't work on the fundamentals, then you won't be able to play your instrument any better.

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Clarinet

For piano students, I like to use the Alfred courses.  This method is great because they have courses of study for all ages and levels, and students can progress through several courses throughout their study.  For flute/clarinet students, I like to start with either Hal Leonard's Essential Elements or the Rubank methods books.  Once students have moved beyond the basics, I like to introduce solo repertoire that is appropriate for their level.

Teacher In Spotlight

Noah P

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba Music

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I knew I wanted to teach in high school, however I never dreamed of becoming a professional player like I am now until I was in college. When I was a student at the University of Iowa I was surrounded by ambitious people like me and we pushed each other with the ultimate goal of becoming the best players we could be which ultimately resulted in several of us developing ambitions to play professionally.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes it does, it runs very deeply. My dad and stepmother are both music teachers, and low brass players. My dad was a collegiate band director, and my stepmom was a collegiate low brass professor for a long time. They have since moved on to different musical jobs with my stepmother teaching beginning orchestra and my dad moving on to an administrative role. There is also an extended part of my family that I do not know who play music in Nashville.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I cannot imagine life where I am not a musician. The prompt requires me to have 27 words so I'm adding some down here, the previous sentence is the only one that matters here.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I really enjoy playing within the New Orleans brass band style. It gives me an opportunity to open up and wail alongside a lot of creative license for the individual players. There is also a lot of improvisation which is my favorite part of a lot of music.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a degree in trombone performance with a separate K-12 music education certification from the University of Iowa. I have always wanted to be a trombonist but I also have always had passion and felt a calling for teaching.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
This will differ wildly depending on what literature I'm playing. There is a consistent part of my practice though which is my daily routine. My routine starts with a couple short breathing exercises. I'll then play my first sounds of the day which are usually long, easy glissandos. Then long tones and lip slurs with a metronome. The focus is ALWAYS on quality, not speed. I will usually incorporate articulation and range expansion into my lip slur exercises to be more efficient. I'll finish off with a low and slow cooldown, expanding down into the basement of my range. The goal of this is to focus on being the best trombonist I can be, and building skills in places I think are deficient.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I think the Rubank method is good for a few reasons. I like their technical exercises, and I also like that it is progressive on a scale that is challenging but achievable in private lessons. With regards to brass playing, Arbans is really good for building technical facility, and Rochut is really good for building consistency with tone, flexibility and constructing musical phrases.

They had a nice fat sound and I couldn’t even produce a note because the reed was too soft and the mouthpiece was too narrow for me.

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.
