Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard
I can teach any skill level. If you are beginning with zero experience, the first thing I teach is middle C. It's the center of the universe as far as the piano is concerned. I also teach 'spider position', which is how the student wants to have their hands positioned. Intermediate students can dictate to me what they want to work on. If they just want to learn "Charlie Brown" I can teach that, or if they want a more regimented lesson plan I can do that as well. I also have advanced students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Flute Ukulele Recorder
As a soloist he's played classical music, blues, jazz, and original compositions. Before devoting himself to music full time, he worked for 8 years as a radio announcer on WUFT-FM Gainesville hosting shows such as "Nothing but the Blues", "Montage" (acoustic jazz), and "Musica Antiqua" (Renaissance and Medieval). He currently hosts a jazz radio show called "Hard Choices" which airs on Saturdays at 11 a.m. on KMHD 89.1 FM in Portland, OR. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I started teaching college age students as an Undergraduate as part of my vocal pedagogy class, and have also taught students for my Graduate vocal pedagogy class. I continued teaching some after the classes concluded. Early in 2013, I officially opened my own voice studio and have been taking new students ever since. I enjoy teaching voice students of middle school age through adulthood. I let my students choose what style of music they would like to sing so that they will enjoy working on it. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Hi, My name is Will. I love working with beginner students as well as those who have already developed their musical skills. I'm an easy-going person who feels that music should be enjoyed, but also encourages students to challenge themselves and reach for their highest potential. I have found that when students like the pieces they are playing, they will put more effort into learning them and therefore will develop their skills more quickly and completely. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard
My desire is to bring your musical goals into focus through education and creative participation. I believe piano instruction should be geared to the student, fun and casual, yet challenging and inspiring. I also believe patience and encouragement are essentials to a great lesson experience. I teach sight-reading, music theory, improvisation and notation, and I'm comfortable in many styles, including classical, pop and rock. You will gain skills for ensemble playing, writing your own music, or simply playing for your personal enjoyment. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I believe that every student is different, and that is important to understand each student’s passions and interests. It is important to find out how each student learns, and to motivate him or her to improve, grow, and be passionate about music. I do not want to only teach the notes on the page; I want to instill a lifelong love of music and a basic knowledge of music theory. Learning the goals and aspirations of each of my students is very important to me, as I know that performing music should be about joy and self expression. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
I've been a professional music educator for over 15 years, teaching students from elementary school age to those in retirement. I love music and I love sharing it with others through performing and teaching. Watching my students' musical worlds expand is what I love best about this profession. I've played in just about every type of musical situation from orchestra, band, chamber music, and solo classical recitals to jazz bands, singer/songwriter, musical theater, world music, and avant-garde settings.

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform would probably be Schumann's work called Kinderszenen, which includes 13 pieces Schumann composed all inspired by his childhood in one piece. It has the most beautiful and unique music theory and harmony with so much expression and rubato. I only hope to one day play it as good as some world class pianists
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love trap/pop music. Trap is the go to groove today and it has so many good vibes in it. Trap is so fun to dance to and it is. mainstream.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started to play the trumpet because I thought it was such a cool instrument, and so much different from the piano. I wanted to go outside of my comfort zone, it all trained me so much as a singer and taught me about breathing and circular breathing.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My father is so gifted with music and he plays by ear. He is an insane guitarist and can play pretty much anything. He really inspired my to pursue my musical endeavors
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional musician the minute I entered a summer intensive program when I was 15 years old. I knew from that moment, that there was nothing else I wanted to do with my life.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I wasn't a musician, I would probably have to say I would want to open up my own bakery. In my free time, I love to bake homemade dessert and love to watch culinary arts
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I really recommend Faber and Alfred to Beginner and Intermediate students. Faber has a very great structure in their materials especially from Primer to Levels 1-4B. It organizes both music theory and music expression in a great and fun way or students. For teenagers and adults looking for advanced material, I highly recommend using Hanon, Bastion, Schirmer's library of Chopin, Beethoven, or any other composers they want to study.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session is asking the student how their week has been, what they would like to warm up with, I typically review any music theory or material we went through the previous week, and move on to new music as they are more comfortable and building up sight reading skills, For little ones, and students in beginner, I incorporate lots of games and activities to make music lessons fun.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I chose a music degree in Songwriting and Composition because it is what I am most passionate about. Ever since 7, I have written my own music and wrote songs as a vocalist and pianist. My classical training has allowed me to have the knowledge to compose creative and inspiring music of multi genres.
