Jacob A

Instruments: Piano

It is often difficult to choose just the right method book for each student. I most often choose the Alfred series for both beginner's and adults, as I like how in that series the student not only develops the necessary skills but also learns about how music works. I also like very much the Piano Town series and have used it with success. For more intermediate and advanced students, I strive to get a sense of the type of music and pieces the student enjoys the most and try to assign their repertoire accordingly. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Jeehoon K

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Vocal chords are muscles which means it can be injured or raised. That is why the voice of people is getting changed according to their age. If you want to study professional vocal technique I honestly recommend to have lesson from teenagers because professional singing requires matured muscles. However, a basic mechanism can be learnt from young age and I strongly encourage to start voice lesson when they are young because bad habit is the hardest thing can be fixed when I have a private lesson.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, I did. I met him when I was in Korea. He is a good conductor and a good singer. When I joined a church choir, he gave me a chance to sing as a soloist many times. He said my voice is really special than others and he recommended to study voice. He gave a private lesson for free even though it was a short moment. He focused more on to teach how to enjoy singing. Also, he mentioned many times "if you enjoy your singing your musicality also can be shown with your body including facial expression. I was really inspired by him. So, I have been trying to doing it like him.

When will I start to see results?
As I mentioned above, muscles for singing are not visible by our eyes unlike other instruments. So, it is hard to get a result. Of course, some people would know their voice well in short time but others would not. Furthermore, if the student has a bad habit, it might take much more time to fix it. For this reason, I would say it takes much more time than other instrument. Generally, to get a goal or result, it takes around three months. So, if the student follow me with patient and enjoy their singing the time will be reduced.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
For singers, it is hard to have practice over two hours. So, I strongly recommend to sing with soft and natural voice through humming sound many times. When we sing vocal folds works hard, especially when singers sing high notes vocal folds should have big pressure. So, if it happens many times the vocal folds will be injured. For this reason, I strongly recommend for them to sing with middle range. As I mentioned above, it is hard to see your instrument (voice). If students sing alone too much, especially with bad habit it causes bad result. So, it should be fulfilled carefully.

Tips for Choosing Your First Guitar

...out. With new guitars this is rarely a problem, but you should plug in the guitar and check the controls (just to be on the safe side).   Student-Sized Guitars This section is directed specifically at parents and female players. In the past, many aspiring guitarists had to wait till they were physically big enough to handle a guitar. Or, if they have small hands, as in the case of preteens and some female players, playing the instrument can offer added challenges. The advent of technology has made it possible for 3/4- and 1/2-sized instruments that play well and stay in tune. ... Read More

The Best Age to Start Saxophone Lessons

...alto sax, and then switch to the tenor or baritone once the student is a bit older. The tenor sax is also very popular in jazz, blues, and even rock music, and measures approximately 33 inches in length. Students in school music programs can begin the tenor sax around age 8 (same as alto) but the student should want to play the tenor and be willing to carry it around between school band practice, lessons, and back home. The baritone sax is around four feet in length and thus is frequently too large for students until they are a little older, usually at least age 9 or 10. The baritone sax is also more expensive to purchase and rent, so keep that in mind before starting a complete beginner out on this instrument. ... Read More
