Instruments: Piano Cello Keyboard

For beginners, I would first teach them the basic sitting and hand postures, basic note-reading, and basic music theories. After they know how to play piano in an appropriate posture, I would like them to start with Hanon piano exercises. I believe it is a great book to warm up the fingers and a great finger exercises for all levels of piano players. Other than those basic exercises, I would also like to introduce them to one to two simple pieces that are fun to play. Read More

Instruments: Piano

Nothing brings me more joy than watching my students develop a genuine passion for music while growing both personally and professionally. I believe that every student learns in their own unique way, so I ensure that each progresses at a pace that suits them best. To support this, I set realistic, personalized goals during each lesson, ensuring that progress feels both achievable and rewarding. Celebrating every accomplishment—no matter how small—fuels their motivation, sparking excitement and a desire to keep learning. Read More

Sean T

Instruments: Piano

No matter what skill level the student is at, I want to always make sure that the student is always engaged and interested in the repertoire! I find that more important than anything else, as I want to build that passion within each and every student to be able to not only play piano, but to love and cherish its history. I want to develop a personal connection with each student I teach, and cooperate with whatever needs they may have. Read More

Instruments: Piano

For BEGINNING students, I teach piano but also theory as well. In order to play the piano accurately, the student must know theory. I teach using James Bastien's primary-level 4 books. Within those books, they offer a Piano book, Theory book, Performance book, and a Technic book. Depending on the child's level and ability to play, I will incorporate what I see is the best book to use for each individual student. Read More

I'm an passionate and enthusiastic music teacher. Music is the passion of my life, and I always want to share it with young children. Currently, I'm pursuing a AA degree in Piano Performance at El Camino College. I will transfer to University and get my Bachelor degree in Piano Performance in the future. In my life as a musician, I have had the opportunity to perform in the Choir at Carnegie Hall in New York, as well as performing in many concerts at school and local churches. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Jesse A

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Music

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the saxophone is the tone. Tone is the defining factor between good players and great players. A saxophone teacher once told me that he could tell the level of a player by their first three notes. I didn't believe him until I became a teacher and understood that tone has a huge role to play in a player's skill level. The saxophone allows for so much nuance in the sound. It takes years to develop your technique and there is no shortcut. You can instantly distinguish the amount of time someone has dedicated to their instrument (any instrument really) by their tone.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My music degrees are in Jazz and Jazz Studies. Though I am a big advocate for the study of Jazz, what really drew me to this major was the versatility that it allows. Jazz music has been a basis for so many other genres including pop, rock, RnB, soul, funk, etc. It also has its roots in classical music with Romantic composers like Debussy and Ravel. The level of ability required jazz improvisation far exceeds that of simply interpreting music. Jazz is a performance medium and a method of composition and theory that builds on Classical music. It encourages Musicology and Music History for more informed performance. Ultimately, I felt that I could get a more comprehensive education and more employment opportunities by studying jazz rather than other majors.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My primary instrument is saxophone. Before playing sax, I had learned piano, clarinet and trombone, respectively. My mother encouraged me to choose an instrument that she felt was more graceful for playing in a church. Luckily, it had also been a popular instrument with my friends at school so I was more inclined to switch. Having a late start made learning sax difficult though. I could not play a note for at least a week but when I finally did it, I was so excited for my very first step that I just had to continue. The rest is history.

When will I start to see results?
Depending on your skill level, you can see results in as little as one lesson. Beginners usually have a period of rapid growth at first and become disappointed once they've improved and don't see the same results. Realistically, the rate of growth slows as a player increases in skill level. It takes twice the work to get half as far. But don't forget! If you are at the intermediate level, how you sounded at your first lesson! Use your previous experience to encourage your growth and remember that consistent practice routines are essential for consistent growth.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
During my time as an undergrad, I felt that one teacher taught me more than I had ever learned before. He taught jazz theory, composition and arranging. Though I already had a decent understanding, this teacher really took my game to the next level. He was meticulous about feedback to students but always encouraging. He provided creative opportunities to have our compositions performed and recorded that fueled my passion for arranging and I still use the skills he taught on a daily basis. I can honestly say that his passion for teaching launched my musical career.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Develop a routine for practice that works for you in short sessions. Focus on one particular aspect of your playing to improve. For example, if one bar of music or one scale gives you the most trouble, work on only that for 10 minutes. Ten minutes of focused practice is better than an hour unfocused. Start by playing it as slow as you need to go without making a mistake. Gradually increase the tempo once you feel confident. If you make a mistake, decrease the tempo again. Avoid playing passages that you are comfortable with as they will waste valuable practice time (i.e. starting from the beginning over and over). Also, use creative approaches to practicing a passage such as playing it backwards, changing the rhythm, changing articulation. Your brain will learn to process the information differently allowing for better absorption of the material.

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.
