Instruments: Piano Guitar Electric Guitar
Hello, my name is Gerson. I am a well talented and trained musician that started playing piano at the age of 10. I first started out with piano, and eventually as time went by I progressed. I discovered I had a talent for piano, and a passion at the age of 13. I would watch videos on YouTube about piano tutorials. It took me a minute to learn each video. I would also teach other people that were eager to learn about the fundamentals of piano. Read More

I try to give each student an idea whats coming next, every few lessons or so, while practicing what their on currently. This idea is not for every student so it is a selective process I use with the brightest ones, or fast learners and good practicers.When I see a student really start to play well I gain confidence in my teaching style...but when needed I can dial it back a notch or two.

Instruments: Piano
One of my greatest joys in life is observing a joy in piano! Therefore I strive to administer the elements of music to the student's learning style, how they would use piano for their own enjoyment and for their families enjoyment. Each student is different with different goals, desires, learning styles, and objectives. Teaching according to the individual's learning style, expectations, desires, and goals is critical in piano development. The teacher must discard the concern for only the superior students in his studio because some students have learning impairments and put the individual first. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I'm a passionate instructor who thoroughly loves bringing the gift and love of music alive in students. In 2017 I had graduated with my Fine Arts in Music degree at Mchenry County College. I enjoy discovering the new sounds in music and writing when inspired. Currently I am apart of a worship team at my church and I play keyboard but I find I play mostly without sheet music. I love adding my own touch to what I am hearing and simply play from my heart. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
I combine the technique, expression, and performance practices from my teaching line of musical masters with more modern teaching methods to give students a well-rounded music education. I cater each lesson to the individual needs and interests of the student, while giving them a strong technical foundation and fostering their love of music. I use scales, arpeggios, and other methods to help build technique. I also want the student to enjoy what they are performing, so I often ask the student if there are pieces they would like to learn and do my best to find an arrangement suitable to their level of difficulty.

Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I believe each person is uniquely different in this life and that goes for music too. For piano beginners, I like to use the standard Faber curriculum, if you're more advanced we can explore adding some more challenging books such as the Hanon scales, Junior Hanon for beginners, etc. I like to supplement core pieces with scales, technical books, and ad hoc assignments that I sometimes have students pick. For voice, it will very much depend on your goals and where you are at vocally, but my voice teaching style is very much grounded in healthy technique and learning about vocal pedagogy, no matter what genre of music you want to sing!

Instruments: Piano Voice Viola Saxophone
Thank you so much for checking out my profile! I have been having a love affair with music and the arts for over twenty years. Beginning piano lessons at the age of five, it still continues to be one of the biggest joys in my life, second only to singing. I grew up in a very small town in central Illinois, and was always very active in community choirs and theatre. Read More
Instruments: Cello Bass Guitar Double Bass Music
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Many! One of my students who I've known since she was a very young--maybe 10 years old--recently got accepted into the college of her choice to pursue a career as a professional cellist. Using the skills and musicality she was able to develop during our time together, her audition performance not only landed her acceptance, but a full ride scholarship for a 4-year degree with room and board included as well! To contrast, an adult composition student I had wanted to learn enough and hone her skills so she could land some gigs writing for film and TV. She's done it! She's been to Hollywood and is still climbing her career ladder while being a full-time wife and mother to many children.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
As the great Duke Ellington once said, "There are only two kinds of music--good music and the other kind." Personally, though, I love to play the music that makes people feel something, whether that's to dance and have a good time or to sink under the weight of an emotional musical experience.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
You can get pretty far and make good use of your time and efforts by finding something to practice that directly targets a small and specific aspect of your playing and find ways to apply it musically. Make sure you have a clear goal in mind beforehand.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Children are often more capable than we sometimes assume them to be. From my experience, age alone does not determine how effective lessons may be for a child. However, their ability to focus, their level of maturity, and, perhaps most importantly, their desire to learn have shown to be great signifiers of how effective music lessons may be for a child. On the other hand, sometimes children who aren't showing these qualities yet just need that extra push that music lessons offer--a task that they can set their mind to, a goal that they can work towards, and a non-parental figure to show them the importance of the things their parents/guardians are trying to teach them at home, such as patience, perseverance, hard work, etc. Anecdotally, as someone who doesn't typically teach 'the big three' (piano, voice, and guitar), I've noticed that my young students who study a less common instrument, like the cello or bass, are introduced to an entirely different degree of commitment and determination than that of their peers, who are all learning the more popular instruments.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I take from a variety of different methods, such as Suzuki and Hal Leonard, as well as some methods I've adopted from former teachers. Please see the Teaching Philosophy and Teaching Resources section in my Lesson Handbook to learn more, which can be found on my website here: https://dzubel.wixsite.com/dantezubel/lessons
When will I start to see results?
Immediately! Of course, you can only expect to get out of something what you invest into it, but I have never had a student who didn't walk out the door learning something valuable after their first lesson.
