Holly S

Instruments: Voice

I have been singing all of my life and know how important my many amazing voice teachers have been to me. I have enjoyed performing in operas, recitals, concerts, and church programs for almost 25 years and teaching voice for almost 20 years. I have taught students in their homes and at programs through universities and now that I have relocated to Hampton Roads, I look forward to continuing my commitment to vocal education. Read More

Barbara M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I possess excellent communication skills, that is to say, I listen well to my students before I speak. My students are free and encouraged to express their goals and they become comfortable doing so. They begin to understand that even though I am their instructor, we are working as a team and that my goals for them are directly tied to the goals they have set for themselves. I always use easy to understand and practical piano books chosen based on the student's experience, age, and goals. Read More

Nelia M

Instruments: Voice

My teaching experience dates back three years in college. I participated in a program through my University that provides free lessons to students in the Harrisonburg area. My student from this program won $1000 scholarship to attend her dream University in Florida. I believe that all education starts with relationships. My students are important to me and through trust and mutual respect, we can accomplish so much! I encourage students to practice regularly. Read More

Cara M

Instruments: Voice

I strive to provide effective tools for children and adults of all ages that reinforce vocal training, confidence, precision, and vocal hygiene. The last decade of experience gives me a solid foundation to ascertain the temperament and learning style of students and create a specialized and integrative lesson plan for them to utilize in order to enhance their gifts. My personal style is an authoritative one, not authoritarian or passive, wherein I connect with my students with positive reinforcement. Read More

Joseph U

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Recorder Euphonium

For children, my foundational methods include Leonard, Krueger, Clarke, Arban, Reinhardt, Rizzetto, Pearson, and Rubank. Solo and ensemble repertoire is introduced at the appropriate time. Time is also spent on improvisation, writing original compositions, and learning music that the students have brought to the lesson. For adults, we focus on what students are interested in working on, regardless of their ability level. Many adults want to spend part of the lesson working with the foundational methods, and spend part of the lesson learning one or two pieces of music. Read More

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.

...book shows in your hometown or for tours around the country, you’ve worked with talent buyers and show producers before. These jobs aren’t very hard to get, but it’s work that carries a decent amount of financial risk because your pay is determined by how successful the shows you book are.   While live music is currently a booming industry, there’s a myriad of factors that have to come together for a show to be well-attended and successful.

When I Was Your Man Chords for Beginner Guitar (Bruno Mars)

...Mars makes subtle changes in the third and fourth measures changing the chords slightly. Refrain: 4-bar transition to the Chorus; Am–Em–Bb all receive a full measure; the final measure is C/G for two beats followed by a G (and we pause for dramatic effect). Chorus: 9-bars the first time and 8-bars on the repeat before transitioning to the Bridge. F–G–C (2x) F–G–Am–D–F–Fm, then the last two bars are C with embellishments that reflect F and Em/B. Don’t play the last measure on the repeat as you transition to the Bridge. Bridge: 8-bar section; Begins with F and G for a full measure each; Bars ... Read More

Saxophone Fingering Chart

...I often joke that this is the saxophone’s improvement over the clarinet and flute. On those instruments, you cannot leave this fingering down when playing other notes.   High F Fingerings: High F is the other “for the most part” exception. The two high F fingerings are, like the Bb/A# fingerings, used pretty equally, depending on the situation. The main F fingering sounds a bit better than the front F fingering, but doesn’t work as well in certain situations. The front F fingering is useful when playing an F arpeggio. It also becomes very useful when playing in the altissimo register. I think of it ... Read More

Blues Guitar: Origins and Fundamentals of Playing

...musicians. The genre is set up in a way that invites musicians who’ve never met or played together to be able to perform at a moment’s notice if they’ve memorized a few basic ideas. For instance, lead and rhythm guitar players can improvise by playing notes from an E minor pentatonic or blues scale over chords from the 12 Bar Blues in the same key. If you’re new to the guitar or the blues in general, it might be a good idea to record yourself playing the 12 Bar Blues on your computer or phone and to practice by improvising over it. Giving ...

Parts of an Opera: A Quick Beginner's Guide

...here in the first known opera. The recitative in Euridice wasn’t exactly how we know it today, but the majority of the opera was written in a lyrical recitative style. Given the fact that Caccini had not yet released his “New Music” and the aria wasn’t yet in vogue, Peri’s recitative would have had to be somewhat lyrical to make Euridice interesting.   It may not be able to hold your attention for an hour and forty minutes, but here’s a recording anyway.     Throughout the rest of the 17th century, opera composers relied upon the aria for emotion ...

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.
