Instruments: Piano Flute
I have used many methods books for piano and flute. When I started teaching lessons, I lived in a military town. Since these students moved a lot, I would continue teaching out of the books they were currently using to keep they're progress consistent. I still have this philosophy unless a student is unhappy with their current method. When I start a beginning student, I like to use Alfred's Premier Course. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
Im an enthusiastic and accepting teacher who enjoys building students confidence and lifelong enjoyment of music! In 2014, I graduated from Baylor University with a Bachelors in music composition with a focus on classical piano and voice, then moved to Chicago to get my Master of Fine Arts (MFA) from Columbia College in music composition for film and media. Writing music for orchestras was the most unforgettable part of my experience there! Read More

I am a seasoned orchestral musician, having played in the violin, viola, and cello sections well over two dozen symphony orchestras in four different states. I have been actively teaching violin, viola, cello, and piano since 2002. In addition to classical music, I am very passionate about the traditional music of East Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, and the Celtic lands, and have performed music from many global traditions as both a soloist and a member of various bands and ensembles.

Instruments: Piano Violin
I have over 25 years of teaching experience and my relationships with former students have remained very warm. This is due to my love for my students and my work. It is impossible to instill a love of music in a student without contact and respect. In addition to the love of music and the instrument, I also aim to instill an interest in art in the student as a whole. Read More

Shortly after graduating from college, I began teaching private lessons part time in students' homes, and have taught continuously for 20 years. Within this period, I also taught both private piano to children and adults and group piano for pre-schoolers at Chicago's renowned Old Town School of Folk Music for 4 years. I am passionate about teaching, enjoy watching my students progress and am thrilled to see their enthusiasm for music grow. Read More

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.
