Alexis E

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin

I am a fun loving and patient instructor who enjoys seeing my passion for music spread to different people. In 2012 I earned a Bachelors in Psychology with a minor in music from Northern Arizona University, and went on to complete a Masters degree in Music Therapy from Arizona State University. I have experience performing in academic orchestras, choirs, and guitar ensembles, as well as with song writing and performing in local bands. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar

When it comes to strategies regarding teaching I use many methods. I usually will start students understanding the fundamentals of music literacy. In order to achieve the introductory points of this we will work out of a method book like a Hal Leonard Beginner Guitar Method 1. We will understand the importance of understanding how to count rhythms and read pitches correctly. I also focus highly on the correct techniques of the instrument in order to avoid bad habits in the future. Read More

James H

Instruments: Piano Guitar Classical Guitar

We start with fundamentals of music theory, ear training, and composition. We find the songs and styles you want to learn and then make them make sense, through small assignments, that build into the finished product. If you can see the shapes on the guitar and subdivide the beat into equal parts, we can start to play the tunes you like. I a do not believe in slow progress. i believe you can learn and improve consistently, while having fun. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Trombone Clarinet Synthesizer Ukulele Recorder Euphonium Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I started playing the piano in college and have learned to play many instruments in my career. I was an Elementary school teacher for 20 years teaching music, band, English Language Arts, Science, and History. I guess you could say I've had a great deal of experience with children as well as adults and still enjoy working with kids in my studio. I have a tattoo on my arm that says, "Music is my Nature" and I guess that says it all for me. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

However, I did not stop at just sharing knowledge. One of my students named Recker Eans was interested in playing shows at 6 years old so I taught his parents to manage a social media account for him and to go play out at places such as First Friday on roosevelt row. He quickly gained traction and has now been on Fox News, BBC, and a couple other local news programs. Read More

Clarence G

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Keyboard

Originating from East Chicago, IN, I've known since 3rd grade that I wanted to build a career in music. Over the years I've been able to find my niche, and focus on engineering, composing, and playing live. I've recently come to really enjoy teaching. I find pure joy in watching students make even the slightest improvements (provided they practice :). Everyone that I've taught has walked away with a better understanding of music, empowering them to advance in ways they would otherwise not be able to. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Harmonica Lap Steel Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Recorder Conga Latin Percussion

I write all my own lesson materials focusing on what the student needs to know to play, understand, and enjoy music to achieve their goals. I have used several method books in the past but find them all limited or focused on styles or technique that is not what the student wants or needs to learn. I can teach from any established method if that is preferred, but instead enjoy challenging the student to understand what music is and how music is played on their chosen instrument, not just to read.

Teacher In Spotlight

Amy S

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My aunt that I lived with in California for a few years had an old flute that she let me use for band in 3rd grade. She was in high school at the time, and was an amazing flautist who I always looked up to. She was the reason I started flute in the first place. Since then, I have had several role models throughout middle and high school as well as college. I feel like I was always under someone's wing, and that made all the difference.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The old adage, "Practice makes perfect" is truly an understatement, which many students discount throughout their musical tutelage. As a teenager taking private lessons and maintaining first chair in a symphonic band, I hated to practice, but knew that was the only way I would grow and hone my skills. Even if a student just plays a few scales and/or a song from their folder for 15 minutes a day, it's so much better than not taking the instrument out of the case at all.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child is interested in learning an instrument, it's worth getting them lessons sooner rather than later, at least to see if it's really what they want. I lived in southern California at the start of my 3rd grade year, and they started teaching students on instruments in that grade. I started on the flute and fell in love with it. After a few years my family moved us back to Indiana, and they didn't begin any kind of instrumental instruction until middle school, which was the 6th grade. I was very lucky to have started early because it gave me experience. I am an advocate of always learning when there is an interest, not based on school criteria.

When will I start to see results?
I wish I had a crystal ball so I could tell you when you would see tangible results. Unfortunately, that's not how it works. There are students who are very quick learners and move through lessons without a hitch. But that is not always the case. Everyone learns at their own speed. If I see potential and to keep working, I will definitely tell you that your child is progressing in the right direction. Alternatively, if results are not coming at an average pace, or if the student is struggling, I would want to meet with you to evaluate their course and see if there are any alternative options. What I mean by this is the flute may not be the right instrument for them, but another instrument could possibly be a great fit. I would always take the time to work thoroughly with the student to find out their best fit.

Keyboard Vs. Piano: What Exactly is the Difference?

...The range has been extended and the hammer system perfected, but other than that pianos are very similar instruments to the ones that were played in the 18th century. Pianos were first named “Fortepianos” which means “Loud-Soft” in Italian.       The Music Theory Benefit     Any instrument with a keyboard doubles as a near-perfect visual representation of the concepts we use to describe music theory. If you’ve ever played an instrument without a keyboard, you probably already know how baffling certain music theory concepts can be. But on instruments that feature keyboards, things like scales, chords, and intervals are perfectly laid out in a step-by-step system.  ... Read More

Beginner Guitar Solos: Getting Started with Improvisation

...There’s no greater feeling than going to a music store to pick out your first guitar, going home, and holding your brand new instrument for the first time. Whether you’re 10 or 50, playing the guitar for the first time is an experience you’re likely not to forget for the rest of your life. But learning anything new and starting completely from scratch can be hugely intimidating. When you stop to listen to all the incredible music that’s been made with the guitar over the last century, it can be difficult knowing where and how to get started. Beginner guitar solos, for example, can be a tough ... Read More

Four Easy Breathing Exercises for Singing

...of inhale and exhale going. Immediately exhale through the straw for four slow counts. Keep repeating the cycle for three cycles of four counts of inhale and four counts of exhale. Once this exercise feels comfortable, try gradually increasing the inhale and exhale counts from four to six, eight, ten, and twelve. Keep in mind that with each increase of counts, the “straw” space in the mouth must become more narrow. The constricted space will work abdominal muscles gently while preventing the singer from taking in too much air at once.     Breathing Exercise #4 – Yoga breathing   Called ... Read More

...can be cut and shaped is more comfortable. There are corduroy chinrest covers and inflatable cushions that are strapped under the violin. Some professional violinists only use a soft cloth or handkerchief to keep their chin and neck from chaffing against the violin. The choice is chiefly determined by how much space there is between the violin and the musician’s chin and shoulder. Lots of space means that a great deal of cushioning is needed; very little space means that a thinner cushion can be used. Have your teacher gauge how much support your violin needs in order for it to stay up ... Read More

...larger measurements available. The second variety is the floor tom, mounted upright on the floor, often measuring between 14 and 18 inches in diameter. Another standard component of all drum kits is the hi-hat, a pair of cymbals (usually 14 inches in diameter) that can be clicked together using a foot pedal. Much like the bass drum, hi-hats are used for timekeeping. Opening the cymbals produces a rattling effect that is used a lot in rock and punk music. Similarly, the ride cymbal (usually around 20 inches) is also used to keep time; sometimes the bell of the cymbal is struck to create a distinct and pitched tone. Another popular type of cymbal is the crash cymbal, which is frequently used for accents rather ... Read More

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.
