Farida I

Instruments: Piano

I have been teaching piano and music theory since 1984. I worked with children between the age 6 and 18 years. My students are also encouraged to have recitals at the end of the year. I organize activities such as concert, performance, and exams. I use my pedagogical skills to achieve the best education for students in my classes. Read More

Martha C

Instruments: Piano Cello Music Keyboard

Depending on my student's age and skill level I usually have them begin with Suzuki books, Essential Elements books, or a combination of the two. As students advance I often incorporate etudes and/or exercises by Lee, Dotzauer, Galamian, Mooney, Sevcik, Duport, and Popper. While ear training is an essential skill that I teach to all of my students, the younger a student is the more I'll have them "play by ear" instead of reading sheet music. Read More

Abbie F

Instruments: Piano Acoustic Guitar

I have been teaching music lessons as a music therapist since 2007 and have much experience with adapted lessons for students with developmental disabilities and other limitations.  I started teaching typical lessons in addition to adapted lessons in 2013 and it has been an added joy for me. I love teaching basic music lessons and music theory to children developing strong musical roots. I encourage a regular practice schedule for all of my students to help develop strong habits and engraving music in each of their lives.

Emily C

Instruments: Piano Voice

For beginning piano students I typically start with Faber's piano adventure series--I typically have students work through the lesson, performance, and theory books while providing them with additional repertoire on the side (pop, disney, classical pieces etc.) For voice students, I typically spend about a third of the lesson working on technique--proper breathing, posture, extending range, working on tone quality etc. Then the rest of the lesson is spent working on solo song repertoire.

Brett I

Instruments: Piano

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with a method book in order to introduce finger numbers and good technique. We build more and more skills as time progresses. Depending on the student, we may depart from the method book and learn more substantial songs; I'm very good with adapting to the skill levels and strengths of each student. With older students, since they generally have a better feel for what songs/composers they like, I will give them more freedom to choose their own songs and work with them from there. Read More

PJ C

Instruments: Piano

I have always had a deep appreciation for music. This led me to learn to play piano, beginning at age 5. By age 7, I was writing pieces of my own. In highschool, I found that I enjoyed teaching piano to others. After college, I opened my own business, which I ran from the end of my first deployment, until the beginning of my second deployment (I am a National Guardsman), called CMPPC. Read More

Michael N

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Piccolo Keyboard

My methods of teaching are teaching what and how to practice. The basic ingredients in music are scales and chords and space. I am a firm believer of playing with a rhythm section from the beginning. Because of this, I use devices such as playing with tracks, myself, and other people. I provide audio and visual examples using recordings and videos. It is a myth that, with music, you either have it or you don't. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Dave H

Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My ears hear bass first, this is what most people hear. The Root of the chord is mostly played by the bass, since it’s a lowest tone. There are 3 basic music fundamentals, Melody, Harmony and Rhythm. ( there are more fundamentals but these are the most important to a bass player ) Melody, states what the song is about, instrumental or with words. Harmony, major? minor? The chord is built on the Root of the desired chord. Rhythm, how is the root played? Whole notes? Half notes, etc, is the root movement more involved? The bass player plays 2 of these elements, which ones are they?

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Learning the Double Bass, I wanted a music degree on electric bass but the program did not allow it, so I struggled with the double bass for 4 months, practicing and getting my callouses ready for school. As an adult in college, I was playing on a middle school level the first semester. This was tough, but with determination and practice, I prevailed and became a section player in the Norfolk Symphony.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
most of my students agree that they have learned something they didn’t know, I always want to hone in on something the student can’t play or does not know something about. Some students learn the basics then move on to self study. When they have a problem, I help with it. My students succeed at learning new things, Like chords, By knowing the chords of a song, allows the player to expand on the original bass line by Improvising, my specialty

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
On the Double bass is Intonation, playing in tune, by learning the positions and practicing, one learns where to place your fingers. Playing with other musicians hones this skill. Play alongs help with solo practice, first have to develop your ear to what is right and wrong. Meaning pitch, is the note sharp or flat, and being able to correct the pitch instantly. If this is a problem, playing a fretted bass might be a better choice due to the placement of the fingers in a general location instead of the only location.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use my own method, developed through years of experience. I will use a method book if it’s required by the student. Some have already started in a method, Hal Leonard is my favorite, but I use the Simandl method with beginning Double bass students, they will be in a orchestra or concert band and need to know the fundamentals of fingering to allow the best way to get around the instrument

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Jazz, this gives me room to experiment with harmony. This gives me the opportunity to interact with the other musicians in a real time atmosphere

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Started on electric bass, 4 string, moved to double bass, then added the 5 string electric bass and now play the 6 string electric bass. Having the extra low and high strings, allows me to express more musical ideas.

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.
