Instruments: Piano Violin
I enjoy playing music with other people, so I would love to share this joyful experience with my students. In 2007, I came to the States for pursuing the Masters degree in Boston and Doctoral degree in Madison. I have had lots of performance opportunity and community engagements. After the engagement with Civic Orchestra of Chicago, I am now excited to bring the joy of playing music to more people. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
My methods differ depending on a students age and experience level. For the younger students who are just beginning their journey we will learn out of Hal Leonard's books for guitar or Piano Adventures for piano students. As a student progresses we will begin to take the learning outside of these books and more to music theory, technique, and to the application of these practices onto the instrument. For younger students I will make the lesson more fun and interactive, keeping the lesson positive and not viewing it as a chore. Read More

Hi I’m Gabriel, and I’m a self taught full time musician. I picked up my first instrument at age 9 and began playing professionally at age 12. In 2016 I graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a bachelors of arts degree in instrumental performance. Since I began my professional career I’ve played for a wide range of local, national and international artists. My love for playing music is unexplainable and my love for helping others achieve their musical goals is just as satisfying. Read More

Im a bassist, composer, and producer born and raised in Chicago Illinois. As a Berklee College of Music graduate and Merit Scholarship recipient, I feel that it is important that I have an impact in my hometown, and believe that educating young musicians is the greatest impact I can have. Its my goal to help young artists and musicians prepare for the different paths they may take, whether they are just starting out or enrolling to music conservatories. Read More
Instruments: Piano
An important component in my teaching process is assessment. First I need to understand long-term goals of the student. What does "taking piano lessons" mean to you. If you want to learn piano and go through Bach preludes and Brahms reductions great! But that is not the entire scope of what private lessons can offer an individual. Often the student doesn't know what specifically excites him/her. For younger students especially, broadening horizons is important. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Drums
Hello! Luke here! I'm a enthusiastic and motivated teacher who enjoys nothing more than watching students progress and discover the language of music! In 2011 I graduated from The University of North Texas with a Bachelors degree in Jazz Drumset Performance. Since then, performing all over the world has been the driving passion in my life. I've had the opportunity to play everywhere from the Virgin Islands to New York City, Los Angeles, and all over the south and midwest. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Create- and write down- goals that are attainable in however long you have to practice. There is no need for the frustration of cramming too much into too little time; if you feel crunched for time, limit the number or overall difficulty of goals you are aiming for. Many students cite past frustration in practicing in their reasoning for not wanting to practice. By creating a checklist of smaller goals, students can see that they really are accomplishing a lot even when it may not feel like it.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Learning to hold the instrument and bow! These are two of the first things we learn, and both are things that professionals still tinker and experiment with no matter how many years they have been playing- I might make the argument we never quite master it, but it definitely becomes second nature after a bit of time spent with the instrument. Neither the violin bow or instrument hold are things that feel completely natural at first, and a long time is spent reducing tension and making everything as comfortable as possible to reduce injury.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to play in a production of Les Miserables. The show was one of the first I fell in love with in my early years of learning about theatre and the orchestral parts add so much depth to an already engaging story. In terms of strictly orchestral music, I hope to get the chance to play Gershwin's "An American In Paris" sometime in my career. I think it's a piece of music that can be enjoyed by longtime listeners of classical music and those who might just be getting a first introduction to the form. The blues melody in the middle has always held a special place in my heart.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite way to participate in music is as a musician for local musical theatre, especially musical theatre tailored to kids and young adults. Being able to contribute to the art forms of singing, acting, and dancing, further drives my belief that all art (not just music) can impact young lives in a meaningful way. Through the process of creating a musical theatre product, we learn about all the components that go into effective storytelling. I became a much more expressive and flexible player in my time playing musicals.
