Robert B

Instruments: Voice French Horn

I am passionate about communicating through music and training others to achieve their full potential as a musician. I have served in twelve different churches over the years as a Minister of Music, and am still serving in that capacity. This has involved directing vocal choirs and ensembles of all ages, directing handbell and handchime choirs, and directing seasonal musicals and pageants. One of my greatest joys is working with individual soloists in preparation for singing in worship services. Read More

Sherri K

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard

My teaching experience dates back about 20 years. Since then, I’ve taught many levels and many instruments. I’ve taught students ranging from 18 months to 81 years old. I’ve taught many styles;including jazz, pop, and rock. I’ve had students to make videos and win several competitions. My favorite genre to teach is classical. With classical, you can pull all of the other genres out of it. When you learn classical first, everything else seems to fall into place. Read More

Jacki M

Instruments: Voice

My teaching experience began when I completed my degree in Music Education 10 years ago. Since that time I have been teaching private lessons to students of all ages. As a teacher, I believe it is my job to meet my students where they are in their development, and prescribe exercises, repertoire, and information that will help the student with each of their individual needs and goals. I use classical technique as a foundation for healthy singing, but absolutely love performing and teaching many other genres of music. Read More

Rachel L

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

My Grandmother inspired me to play piano. My church taught me to sing. In high school I was involved in band and choir and was selected to tour Europe with a college group. To this day I work with foreign exchange students. In college I continued my musical studies although I majored in Public Relations. This allowed me me to take classes such as oral interpretation and work in radio/TV which enhanced my performing skills. Read More

DAVID W

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ

In order to succeed at the keyboard, a student's technique must be ahead of their literature. This is why I use a well-developed system of technical exercises that are easy to understand and implement that allows the student to quickly gain mastery of the instrument. These techniques were thoroughly developed and taught by my mentor, Dr. Jill Sprenger, and I have seen students of all types succeed with them. I also use a self-paced program of theory skills and ear-training exercises that complement the wide variety of literature that excites each student. Read More

I taught private voice and piano lessons lessons at Northern IL. and a variety of music studios from 2007-2012 . I taught over 400 students ages 3-65. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Zach E

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bassoon

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I actually chose my primary on a bit of a wayward path; initially I wanted to play the French Horn, which would have meant starting on trumpet in my district. I was absolutely set on it until the night before I got nervous and thought to myself "trumpet is kind of a silly word" (it isn't, but I was 10) and picked saxophone the next day. In the 6th grade, they asked who may be interested in new instruments, and I raised my hand. My directors saw I had large hands and figured I was a fit for bassoon. Here I am 20 years and 3 degree later, and I think they were on to something. My secondary instruments came as a result of my desire to play jazz in high school, and continue playing jazz in college. I maintained playing saxophone even with bassoon, to the point where it was a second primary through my bachelor's degree, and added clarinet and flute to play in jazz band and pit orchestras.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Be deliberate, be analytic, and be slow. Often times there are simple mechanical issues that are causing problems, and figuring out the fundamental root of the issue by thinking and moving slowly will solve in 5 minutes what brute force would take an hour. Only play at a speed where you can hit 100% of the notes 100% of the time.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Readiness for lessons mean different things for different students. Some want to catch up, some want to maintain, and some want to get ahead. For the instruments I specifically teach (instruments common in the school band), readiness starts when band starts. If the student is able to physically hold and play the instrument, they are ready to start lessons.

When will I start to see results?
Results come as part of deliberate practice. As a teacher, my job is to guide this practice, help set goals, and provide solutions for problems the student encounters but I can't be with them every hour of every day 7 days a week to do this. For beginning students, practicing as little as 5-10 minutes a day will yield results. As the student gains comfort and skill, the time allotted to practice should increase, but any consistent focus will bring results quickly.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I've been blessed with an enormous number of wonderful music teachers, but the biggest inspiration to me was my band director through grade school and high school, Mr. Monroe. He was himself an excellent performer, as well as a composer and a performer, but his greatest strength was the love and care he showed each individual student. There were 250 of us in the high school program alone, and he made sure we all felt like his favorite students. The way he earnestly cared about his students as individuals, paired with his high expectations for musical achievement created a fantastic environment of growth and support that I try to emulate every single day.

The Importance of Creativity in Piano Lessons

...in piano lessons can also have a strong positive psychological impact, especially because improvising can be a lot of fun.   But making music lessons creative is usually a daunting task considering the way they are typically taught today. It is common for students to make it all the way up to earning an advanced degree in performance without being comfortable improvising. To put this into perspective, let me compare it to taking another class: you can develop a great French accent if you memorize French phrases, but if you never converse in French, your understanding of the language will be very limited. This is ... Read More
