Rachel F

Instruments: Guitar Voice

It also allowed me the opportunity to perform in famous cathedrals throughout Europe in my Senior Year of High School. The ability to inspire others is what motivates me most in this profession and in life in general! I define the art of singing as "Vocal Gymnastics" and focus on exercises that teach the techniques needed for creating optimal sounds. The other part of the fun involves applying the new mastered technique to the context of a specific song. Read More

Kimberly H

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello

I try to strike a balance between music lessons being serious and being fun. I expect my students to practice almost every day and I expect that the parents will be part of keeping them accountable for scheduling that practicing. Lessons are a combination of learning technical skills and learning songs, which usually are mostly classical songs with a few contemporary songs thrown in for motivation. Read More

Benjamin W

Instruments: Voice Saxophone Clarinet

For students of all levels, I emphasize the fundamentals. No matter what style our focus is in, the development of scales, chord progressions, modes and technique patterns are universal. I incorporate solo literature early and often and work with the students to play the music that they listen to every day. We develop the students ear through weekly memorization of music the student enjoys on a daily basis. This allows us to branch into more advanced literature with a deeper understanding of what makes a style, a style. Read More

Irene G

Instruments: Piano Voice

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel students' desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs... Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Robert C

Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice at least thirty minutes per day and at least five days per week. Focus on the tools I teach each week while practicing. I usually will have a homework assignments each week which specifically will help them use the tools. I expect the student to know the homework assignments for the following lesson. It's important to practice the lessons because each lesson builds off the previous lesson. Practicing the lessons and also playing around on the instrument is the most important part of the learning experience.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Use your intuition and look for signs like natural rhythm. While listening to a song, see if the child can tap along with the meter of the song. Also, a good indicator is if they can remember the words to a song or hum or even whistle the melody of a song.

When will I start to see results?
It all depends on how you look at it. If you encourage your child to practice and take a role in the learning process, you'll see results that can be measured lesson to lesson as long as the student follows the lesson plan. Sometimes lesson plans may take a few lessons to learn, depending on how much the student practices on their own and practices the homework assignments. A good indicator and something I try to encourage parents and students to recognize if the student has learned the homework assignments well. If so, I encourage the student to move ahead on lesson plans.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Well, my first music teacher was my grandfather. He was a professional musician who started his music career in 1955 and got his first big gig in 1955 at the 500 club in Atlantic city and was there for about 5 years. He worked as a drummer along side of acts like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and many others. He was the one who discovered that I had musical talent, encouraging me to learn the saxophone and shortly after, learn to play the drums, in which he instructed me to play along to Blues and Soul music. From there, I practiced on my own and taught myself quite a few instruments.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Well, in late middle / early High school I was a drummer in a band (with Doug Sabolic, guitarist from A Life Once Lost,) as well as another talented guitarist and bass guitarist. I picked the guitar up back then and started writing songs for the band. It was a really great "first band" to be in, because everyone in the band could switch up instruments and I began playing guitar more and more. Doug left the band so we reformed with me on guitar, the guitarist switched to drums and the bass player remained on bass (although I did briefly play lead guitar for a band he put together and played guitar and sang for a few gigs in 2006.) By this point, I was getting good on the guitar and became part of a group I truly loved playing with. The singer and rhythm guitarist was a top level professional BMX rider and I was semi professional, which gave us an instant following. We played good ol' knitty gritty Rock and Roll. A few of our songs were featured in BMX movies. Things started to slow down and Wiz (the rhytm guitarist and vocalist) and I really fell in love with the blues. Once I started playing blues, I learned a lot. I knew I'd be doing something in music, like teaching. I went to college to teach, so I started doing private lessons, then I was a senior instructor at a music school, teaching guitar, bass, drums, and novice piano. I love teaching and it was time to move on to another outlet in which I'm actively teaching the art of music to the younger generations, or older generations for that matter. It's never to late to learn MUSIC!!

Jazz Scales: The Pentatonic Scale

...their own category. Many musicians are only aware of one pentatonic scale, but there are many pentatonic scales. There is one simple rule for the construction of a pentatonic scale: there must be five notes. I mean, it’s in the name.   The most well-known and most used pentatonic scales are the major pentatonic scale and the minor pentatonic scale. The major pentatonic scale uses the chord tones 1 2 3 5 6. The minor pentatonic scale uses the chord tones 1 b3 4 5 b7.

The repetitive nature of the chord progression and accompaniment pattern lend themselves to working on these skills.   Accompaniment Techniques   The rhythmic feel uses syncopated anticipations and these techniques help create motion and interest. The pattern can be a little tricky at first, but once you get it down, it’s repeated throughout the tune providing you with ample opportunity to practice.

Piano Technique: The Importance of Good Playing Habits

...How Piano Technique Was Developed   Piano technique began developing long before the piano’s invention in 1700. This is because the piano is basically a new and improved version of a very similar instrument called the harpsichord, and many of the same posture and hand positions from that instrument apply to the piano. There are detailed chronicles of how the composer Bach and his sons approached playing the piano, and his ideas and methods have been widely circulated. The piano website Pianotechnique.com recently profiled the famous composer Bach’s son, Carl Philip Emmanual Bach and some of his playing techniques for ... Read More
