Toby M

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I customize lessons plans for each student based on their learning goals and style of learning so it is different for each student. However, I typically use Faber's Piano Adventures for kids and Alfred's Adult All in One lesson books for adults. I also teach theory with scales and technique with Fingerpower, Czerny, and Hanon. Once I know what the student is interested in, I customize the songs and make sure they love the songs I'm teaching and they are having fun. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Synthesizer Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I'm a compassionate and enthusiastic instructor who has a love for creating listening to a diverse collection of music and passing this love of music onto my students. Since 2002, I've taken piano, vocal, songwriting music theory lessons at Twin Town Guitars and in my youth performed in youth music camps, jazz bands at St. Louis Park Senior High and various piano recitals. In 2018, I graduated from University of California, Santa Cruz with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a minor in Electronic Music. Read More

I also direct a singing group in Richmond called Voices of Reason. Read More

Shuyi H

Instruments: Piano

I enjoy observing each student’s character in their playing and design lessons tailored for them. Also finding a good balance between the music that a student is good at, and others that a student is not familiar with. Playing piano is in a way of expressing one's opinion through music. Learning the history, musicology, stories behind a piece, and the different techniques and tones for expressing the music, are all important features in my teaching. Read More

Jacob P

Instruments: Piano Guitar

I'm a multi-instrumentalist, improvisor, composer and educator who takes great joy in teaching and sharing music with people of all ages. I've been deeply fortunate to have studied closely with multiple master musicians of various traditions. Perhaps the teacher who has had the deepest impact on my teaching methods is W.A. Mathieu, former arranger and bandmember of the Duke Ellington and Stan Kenton orchestras. I studied with Mathieu for three years. Read More

Jacob T

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have been teaching private voice for three years, and feel like I truly thrive when I'm sharing my knowlege of music and performance. At Colorado State University I taught a to wide range of students and styles from freshmen voice majors, choral conducting graduate students, theater majors, voice minors, and even a couple aspiring folk/country singers! I also taught a Fundamentals of Music Theory course to over 100 non-music majors, covering reading music, piano basics, intro to harmony, the physics of music and the psychology of music. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Lauren P

Instruments: Piano Voice

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I like to play new music. It is often in a strange key, time signature, etc and I like the challenge. I like to perform a lot of Jake Heggie, Samuel Barber, John Corgliano, composers like that who push the boundaries of music. I have found that not as many people follow this repertoire as closely as I do, and that I am often the first performer they hear doing the piece. This is fun for me, since my voice will be the initial background they have with the piece. It also puts pressure on me though that my performance needs to be nearly flawless so that the pieces are done justice.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play piano and sing as well. The second instrument for me was my voice. About a year after I began playing piano my church music director approached my family and let them know she was starting a kids choir and that she would love to have me join since she heard me sing along during mass numerous times. After that, I started in the kids choir and have been singing ever since. Keeping with it was also because of her. She encouraged me to come back and perform each time she started up the kids choir and made a teen choir for me and a few other singers who were too old for kids choir but too young for the adult choir.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music runs on my dad's side of the family. He and my Grandfather have been in choirs for years and many of my Aunt's sing as well in church choir settings. My dad at one point even wanted to be a Disk Jockey on the radio. He has a huge passion for music, my Grandfather did as well. Because they knew the church director from singing with her I was able to join the children's choir and get into music myself. My dad also played Flute for a few years when he was younger and my mom played clarinet when she was younger.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional musician after my second year of my undergraduate studies. I interned at a hospital and realized I didn't want to work in medicine and my other passion was music so it was an easy choice. I was already pursuing a general music degree, so switching to performance wasn't too hard. The decision was definitely made after a defining moment and was not something that came up gradually. Until that internship at the hospital I had wanted to be a doctor since I was in elementary school and then it all changed.

...course of a year or more rather than trying to learn as quickly as possible is ideal because like most instruments, technical skill on the guitar is built off of muscle memory more than anything else. Muscle memory is the process of forging new connections from your muscles to your brain.

Creating new connections takes time, focus, and a great deal of effort, so it’s only natural human behavior to want to avoid the ... Read More
