Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
My name is Ernesto Alejandro Álvarez-Ramírez, and I was born and raised in Cuba. In my home country, I received an extensive musical education. I began studying choral music and piano at the age of 6 at the Art Vocational School in my hometown Las Tunas, in the province of the same name. At 13 years old, I continued my studies at the Music Conservatory in Matanzas, where I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Music, specializing in Choral Conducting and Voice. Read More
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 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 Violin Cello Viola Fiddle Music Keyboard
For beginning strings students (even young children) to advanced students, I use the Suzuki method along with the accompanying sight reading book, I Can Read Music. Advanced students who have reached Suzuki book 6 and beyond are invited to seek out other repertoire as a supplement to their Suzuki studies. Students who are involved in an orchestra are also invited to bring excerpts of their music to their lessons so that I can help them to feel confident and prepared at playing tests and auditions.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Keyboard Electric Guitar
Hello! While playing music is one of my favorite thing in the world, it doesn't seem to compare to teaching others how to make music. I'm a University of Michigan student who loves producing and jamming out. I started my musical career at age 10 with the cello, but pretty quickly changed to the piano. My formal education is lacking, but I've spent the last 12 years learning theory and performance through books, articles, and lots and lots of trial and error. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I listen to the student's music selections. While he/she plays, I observe him/her how this student is adapting to the instrument. After his/her performance, I offer constructive criticism pointing out steps to adapt himself/herself to the instrument. I also encourage and push for attentive listening for tone quality. This is very important no matter the level of students. The way to listen for tone quality is not only seating straight and at the center of the keyboard, but also understand when and how to use the bony part of the fingers(closer to nails) versus the fleshy part of fingers on the opposite side of nails.

Instruments: Piano
My teaching experence started, as I mentioned above, in 2005 when I started giving training courses at some churches. That was in Baghdad, giving training courses to kids who were interested in playing with choirs. Basically the courses were divided into two lessons/ week: 1 lesson in theories, 1 lesson in applied music. Then I started giving private lessons also in Baghdad. Then I moved to Lebanon, where I taught in two institutes for music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Your child is ready to start learning music as soon as they express interest in music. This can be as early as 3 years old. Students can start learning piano or recorder as early as 3 or 4 years old. For brass instruments if a child expresses interest they can start as early as age 8 or 9 years old. For all music students a basic familiarity with the piano keyboard is a great asset.
When will I start to see results?
Students should see results after one or two lessons, and will continue to grow and flourish as time passes. The best indicator early on is that they are motivated to practice at home. For younger students parental guidance may be re required
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
As the 5th of six children in my family, my older sibling started playing music when I was very young, and since we had a Piano in the house, I would often play. I started Piano lessons in 2nd or 3rd grade. My High school Band director was a great inspiration for me, and after a couple of years in band I know that I wanted to be a conductor. I could see myself in his shoes saying a lot of the things he told the band. Prior to that I had always wanted to be a Math professor which was inspired by my favorite uncle who was a math professor. Although I have two Music degrees, I never lost my interest in math, and am a certified teacher of both Music and Math!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I started piano lessons in elementary school, and my older sister played the Trombone. She encouraged me to play the French Horn, and I eventually majored in French Horn Performance in college.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have a few accomplishments for which I am proud. I was conductor for a small chamber ensemble in Vienna, Austria and had several performances at various venues around town, the pinnacle was performing at the Vienna Konzerthaus, which is the home of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. Another accomplishment I am proud of is that almost all of the brass students I have had since moving to Ann Arbor, have been 1st chair in the top band at their high school by tier junior or senior year.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Most of my students have consistently relieved a top rating at the Solo and Ensemble Festivals. I encourage all of my students to compete in both Solo and Ensemble. The excellence of my students is mainly due to their solid practicing and desire to improve. The most important thing I contribute is a solid knowledge of music rudiments and theory, and an insistence on understanding musicality and artistry when playing. . I also continue to challenge my students to improve and to play/perform at their own respective best.
