Dayna W

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have been teaching since 1998. I love making music fun for my students, while requiring students to learn fundamentals such as music theory and vocal health. Teaching has been part of my life for over 17 years and I hope to continue for at least that many more. I believe music is for everybody and that each individual can improve and learn if they care and make an honest effort. I also teach to the student's focus as the time: if preparing an audition we focus on that. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard

In the case of piano, my teaching methodology in centered on technique and music theory. It is imperative to learn the right hand positioning and posture, ensuring music reading skills and theory are developed through exercises focused on agility and coordination. As an instructor, I instill on my students respect for the piano as an instrument and the necessary dedicated time to achieve progress during the learning process. Vocal coaching is about the discovering and understanding of one's voice. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Viola Ukulele Electric Violin Fiddle

I teach beginning students both by rote and through reading. We use standard Suzuki books for repertoire and method books such as Wohlfahrt, Mazaz, and Sevcik. Very young students begin on Sassmanshaus since it is very engaging as well as well written. However if there is a specific book a student wants to learn from (such as a book from school or a specific style such as country or fiddle) then I am more than willing to teach from that. Read More

Emily E

Instruments: Piano

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with the Faber series, along with accompanying primer theory and lesson book. 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. In addition to this, I typically start to add scale exercises to increase strength and speed in one's fingers. 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. 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 Guitar Violin Viola Bass Guitar Synthesizer Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Lute Electric Violin Fiddle Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I create play-along videos, so that kids have something specific to practice at home. I use "Read this First" as a note reading book. Students play along with me and also by themselves at lessons. Eventually kids can gather together and play as a group if they wish to do so. I start with memorization, and easy ways of writing down the songs... and eventually kids will learn to read music, after they've secured a basic technique. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Joshua V

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.

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.
