Instruments: Piano
I start beginners off with Frances Clark, The Music Tree Series. I also use the Faber-Faber Piano Adventures and Helen Marlais' Succeeding at the Piano. As students progress, I focus on repertoire pieces issuing from the baroque, classical, romantic, and modern eras as to introduce students to the history of music. Important components of home-practice include sight-reading and technique-building exercises. I also encourage sight-singing as a way of developing the student's ear. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Banjo Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. I am able to teach any genre at any level. Read More

While I'm very new at teaching music, I have many years of experience in teaching in general. I've been pretty successful as a private math tutor since 2009, and more recently I've also been tutoring in ACT prep, SAT, prep, and C++. I'm very glad to be transitioning to music, since that is a topic I'm very passionate about. I love so many things about teaching, and I can't wait to see how they transfer to music lessons.

I began teaching music in high school, a friend coworker had a son that wanted to learn trumpet and it was a fun way to make money. As I continued into college, I learned that I was able to give lessons to members of the band or choir as an employee to the Adrian College Academic Services Department and I was happy to do so. In addition to Adrian College students, I also gave lessons to local high schoolers (mostly tuba players) and many where featured and scored well in state Solo and Ensemble exhibitions. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Drums Bass Guitar Recorder Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Hello future students! I much enjoy sharing my experience as a creative musician to my students whether they are 5 or 55, beginner or advanced. I am a patient teacher and do my best to encourage each student to find themselves as unique learners (musicians) unto themselves. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago in 2002 with a BA focus on Music Composition. While recently living in NYC, I formed a 12-member saxophone orchestra, composed and recorded two symphonies, performed and recorded with the late Glenn Branca's 100 Guitar Ensemble, and provided live Sound Design for renowned poetess Anne Carson.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music
I am passionate about my students and about music. From the outset of working with music students I emphasize the importance of good posture and handling of their instrument, good breathing technique, good embouchure, and regular practice in order to develop strong embouchure and technique and knowledge of their instrument. I love teaching! Whether it is music, dance, math, or anything else I may find myself teaching, I give my all to my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am a piano teacher who came from a culture that does not really appreciate music. I lived there for 24 years, and I had not had the chance to pursue my dreams in music. Now that I am here having the freedom to work towards achieving my goals in music, I am studying, teaching music, expressing and sharing my love for it. I started teaching music officially in 2010, but before that I had given training courses and private lessons in some churches, and that was starting from 2005. Read More
Instruments: Drums
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
This all depends on my students. There are many amazing drum books out there and I will use them based upon what the student wants to learn, as well as thier strenghts and weaknesses. Sometimes, I do not use books. I simply put together exercises based upon the student's learning style.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master is independence between limbs. Perhaps equally as hard is kowing how ti play appropriately .As a drummer, we are the pulse of the band, but we also must know when to NOT play so much and when to support the band and/or vocalist.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have traveld all over this country performing. I've played at famous venues like The Whiskey A-Go Go in Hollywood, The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ, The Half Moon in London, UK, and the Count Baise Theater on Redbank, NJ and so many great places in between. My proudest accomplishment though is simply having been a part of so much great music.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
my first teachers where my uncles. All of my uncles could either sing or play an instrument. They taught me how to play in a band. How to listen and when to lead. To say that I appreiciate them is a gross understatement.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I love the dynamic range of the drums. They can be so delicately quiet and then powerfully loud. The drums control the way an audience moves. I also believe the instrument simply fits my personality. A drumset, and the person playing it, can not be ignored. They are big, they catch the light. Yet in most popular genres of modern music, the drums are supportive and almost in the background.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone progresses differently, so it's hard to say when results will become obvious. However, my goal is to get my students making music, even if it is at a very basic level, as quickly as possible. I usually see this happen within a couple of lessons.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The hardest part about practicing is simply starting. Anything worth doing is worth dedicating time to. So, schedule the time, stick to that time, set goals and utilize video or audio recordings to monitor your progress.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they are excited about the drums, they are ready!m I don't believe that any one is ever too young or too old to start learning an instrument. All you need is the passion to do it.
