Joyce L

Instruments: Voice

There are two major philosophies I've uncovered when teaching lessons. 1. The use of descending lines to erase the "break" in ones voice. Early while studying, myself, I was taught to sing ascending, trying to maintain the same sound - this is defeating. Rather, bringing the top down is the "way to go." 2. Keeping the sound forward makes changing from one vowel to another quite easy and palpable. We generally begin by humming, getting vibrations away from the throat and into the front of the mouth.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Clarinet French Horn Piccolo

My vocal methods are rooted in bel canto style with a strong Melocchi technique using standard repertoire from art songs to stage to develop any voice in preparation for various styles of song. My goal is to help my students go from a singer to a vocalist so that they understand their instrument to be able to create any music as needed. As a piano method I draw from the FABER & FABER method books in addition to online repertoire resources from the standard piano literature varying in styles and difficulties from classical to the four chord structures used in many of today's popular songs and arrangements.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trombone Drums Organ Synthesizer Euphonium Tuba Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I started teaching piano and drums in church around the age of 18. Once I got to college, I picked up trombone, piano and singing lessons for various students aging from 4 years old-22 years old. I realized that teaching, part time, was a passion of mine and greatly became something that I focused my efforts on full time. Now, as a professional musician, I take pride in helping others achieve their music dreams. Read More

Instruments: Voice Violin Viola Ukulele Mandolin Electric Violin Fiddle

I am extremely enthusiastic! Nothing is more rewarding to me than to see my students embrace their love of music, on their own terms. I am a flexible, versatile teacher and am always thinking on my feet. I like to encourage students to set their own goals with my guidance and strive to empower my students with their own sense of musical autonomy. I believe that the more a student is encouraged and empowered to follow their own musical interests, the deeper their commitment to practicing and growing will be! Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Drums Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Ukulele Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Keyboard

I focus on several different areas for every student, so that he/she can keep progressing in all areas of technic and musical knowledge: WARM-UPs, SCALES, MUSIC THEORY, SIGHTREADING, and PREPARED PIECES. And as all music students 'should', it's important to build a good habit of practicing with a metronome. My experience in both the civilian and military music communities has given me a very open-minded but direct approach to WHAT you should learn, and HOW FAST you should be able to progress each individual student.

Annie H

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin

Although I began my musical career in the Suzuki method, I intentionally balance the ear-training approach of that method with music theory to create well-rounded musicians. My students will learn how to sight read music, improvize their own melodies, perform in an ensemble (chamber and/or orchestral) and master the art of performance with a solid foundation in music theory. I generally start off with Suzuki repertoire for beginning students, but supplement that with scales, positions exercises, dexterity exercises, and sight-reading material. Read More

Noelle K

Instruments: Voice

I assess each student in their first lesson to see their entrance level and motivation. From there we discuss goals and I cater each lesson for each student. For children and teens it is usually to feel confident singing, prepping auditions and performances. They usually have a lot of motivation and a willingness to take risks and know they are being taught in a safe space to explore. Adults usually come in for confidence, to sing on key in front of their friends to professionals who need an extra ear to refine their instrument and skills. Read More

Joanna S

Instruments: Piano Voice

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
hymns, they are beautiful and heartfelt. I love playing in church and seeing people enjoying singing. I also love contemporary christian music because like to be creative and play chords and sing. I also enjoy contemporary classical music, becauseit is creative. I like the classical music because it is challenging and beautiful.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I enjoyed singing and people told me I had a good voice. I started taking lessons and singing in choirs. I really started to grow for the love of singing. It was easier for me to play piano and I was shy about singing in pubic. I started finding out I could play piano and sing at the same time which really helped me

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
my two older sisters performed in San Diego area even before i was born. They played organ, accordion and piano. My parent's immigrated after the world war 2 and their heart was for their children to have music and play in church. They didn't continue but their children also play some instrument. My sister Susan in Texas has been teaching for many years.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I was asked in churches to play because I could read music and hymns quite well. I was also asked to play for choirs and that was enjoyable. I was asked to teach at a preschool a music class and that is where it all really started. I really enjoyed that and the students grew. The desire to be a professional musician sort of grew gradually, because I always enjoyed creative art also.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Music is such a big part of my life, but I really enjoy writing stories. I love art also and love my students showing me their art pieces. I would probably be an activity director in a veterans hospital or retirement facility. I really love helping people and would and sometimes think I will study to be an expressive art therapist. The arts heal wounds that can be very deep. Music, art, and dance. I have learned in studying that in dementia music is the last thing to leave them. The can be very ill but you play a song they know their eyes light up even if they can't talk. It is so beautiful to see. I worked with a women who had frontal dementia a music teacher. She was diagnosed with this disease at 68. She couldn't remember music and motor skills were deteriorating but she could still play somewhat. I would also review theory and she could remember songs. IN performing in memory units the people didn't know their names but the songs they could sing.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
composition. love writing music and such a blessing to be able to understand and be creative. i enjoy teaching but I also enjoy performing. My love for teaching grew when I had my own children. I so much enjoyed children even more and working with all different types of different personalities.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
i tell my parent's if they can practice 4 days a week each piece and song 3 times. This teaches them responsibility. It will be only 5 or 10 minutes but as the student grows and music gets harder they learn the discipline. When they have more songs it goes to 20 to 30 minutes a day and if children like to practice more that is awesome!

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I enjoy doing my own compositions,because I really can feel the music and they each have their story. As for for other composers I enjoy their work like moonlight sonata, and many more. beautiful pieces.
