Frederick G

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Keyboard

Hello! My name is Freddy, and I am a professional trombonist and composer from New York City. To tell you a bit about myself, I graduated Berklee College of Music with a Master's in Film Scoring ('15). I also recently finished touring with Grammy award winning artist Alejandro Sanz, and am currently working at SkyMuse Studios in Seattle, WA, under the tutelage of Ron Jones (Family Guy, Star Trek: Next Generation, DuckTales).

Sadi W

Instruments: Piano Voice

For beginning students, we start with simple scales, fingering patterns, short melodies, and based on that student’s needs and learning style, I decide which lesson plan to use (Suzuki, Hal Leonard, etc.). I use Tonal Harmony textbook excerpts to help with advanced theory lessons. More advanced singers receive more training in classical and musical theater technique. My philosophy is that every singer should be trained classically first. Early art songs and arias really help students focus on breath control, vowel shape, using their passagio, and expressive singing. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Euphonium Tuba

My primary goal as an instructor as well as a performer is to create a life long passion for music and personal growth within each of my students, and making sure that each student enjoys and looks forward to their lessons each week is intregal to this goal. Whether an adult, child, beginner, or advanced, realizing the students motivation and personal goals for each lesson is important to tailoring lessons to each persons unique abilities and preferences.

Conor A

Instruments: Piano Drums Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion Music

With my teaching style, I prefer to work on what the student has an interest in if they are old enough to know. There is no better feeling than to work with a student who is enjoying the study of the current material. I also enjoy teaching beginning composition and bringing out the music from within. When the child is at a young age, I incorporate curriculum that targets ear-training and listening, reading, rhythmic awareness and time-keeping, and theory. Read More

Jacob N

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet

For my younger students I usually start with major and minor scales tied in with simple to challenging etudes. I do not have a specific book that I work out of, though if the student has one that they work out of I would be happy to accommodate. For adults I usually have the same approach, but we will focus more on a specific genre or style that they may want to emulate. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Phyllis M

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre of music is classical, especially romantic era like Chopin, Schumann, Rachmaninoff. I sometimes play or listen to jazz like telenious monk or ella fitzgerald too, but i choose classical over them because i never get tired of them n listen to them every single day. Music gives me joy, comfort, tears, heart warming n pounding all together. I have to listen to them every single day to survive, especially on my sad or depressing days. Think about it! Why would people use music for all those different occasions? Because it helps each of the occasions out to be even happier or give comfort.

When will I start to see results?
It really depends on how focused you are n how much time you spend practicing with. I sometimes have students requesting to have lessons with me more than once a week. I tell them directly n right away that it seems like a waste of money. Having a multiple time of lesson per week does not make you play better or learn faster. You should rather practice more everyday or at least 5 days a week at least than 2 to 3 days a week, for example. Having a great teacher would help to be able to learn quickly or play well, of course, than a someone who is not as famous. However, students should not think taking many lessons per week would automatically make them play superbly well all of a sudden. There is no easy thing we can accomplish in life, especially in music. This is something you being able to accomplish a tiny bit at a time by doing it everyday, diligently, n sincerely.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I usually prefer teaching students who are at least 6 yrs old of the age. The reason is a lot of times the students who are younger than that do not seem to read or write n that makes the piano learning experience pretty difficult n frustrating for both the instructor n the student. I think the student doesn't have to read or write fluently, but at least be able to read the 7 alphabet we use in music, n be able to count 1 to 10 since we have 10 fingers. Also i have experienced before that if a student doesn't read, they don't know what their home work is. Therefore, someone like their mom or dad always have to tell them what it is by reading it for them. Quite inconvenient i would say.

Violins for Beginners: To Rent or to Buy?

...it’s better to grow into it while playing something smaller.   When Should You Buy?   Students should be able to own their own violins by the time they have been studying the instrument for several years and they have decided to make violin a definite part of their lives. For example, if you started a child on violin as a three year old, you probably rented an instrument until the child was about 10 years old. By the time she was ten, you had invested a fair amount of personal equity into learning to play the instrument, and it was time to ... Read More

Jazz Scales: The Augmented Scale

...you begin to see patterns and how different scales are constructed. The whole tone scale, intervallically, is whole steps in major thirds; the diminished scale, intervallically, is whole steps in minor thirds. The augmented scale is minor thirds in major thirds. This example is a way of practicing minor thirds in major thirds.   This third example is the most popular augmented scale pattern. It makes use of the three triads a major third apart.   This fourth and final example is a pattern based on a concept called “triad pairs”. Using triad pairs is popular among jazz musicians. A ...

...the wind blowing across a broken reed. Maybe while sucking the marrow from a bone, someone made a sound they found beautiful and worked to develop it.   The truth is we can never really pinpoint the beginning of the history of the flute. It could be that far before any of the examples we have of flutes, flutes made from reeds, bamboo, and other material have already decomposed. As flute players, we are continuing on a history that truly has been through the ages. The history of the flute begins before humans can even remember, and by playing, we help it ... Read More

Reading Music for Beginners: Rhythm and The Staff

...When I’m in a lesson with a student, I can always tell when they’re not actually reading the music when I see their eyes looking everywhere but at the page of sheet music. The reason behind this is simple: it’s hard to learn how to play an instrument, and it’s only natural that your eyes would want to focus on what your hands are doing. Breaking out of the habit of looking down at your hands is a tough one to break. I recommend playing each note as slowly as possible and starting over each time you find yourself looking away ...

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.

Ok

Are you sure that's your only availability? The more availability you easier it will be to arrange a teacher for you.
