Instruments: Piano Cello
I am originally from Guanajuato, Mexico and in my last year of high school, I decided to take private piano lessons with a local teacher and it was during this time period that I learned classical pieces by Beethoven and Mozart. I also took music notation and I tried a hand at composing, discovering a new way to communicate in terms of music.After moving to the USA, I resume my music education, learning new concepts on classical, blues and pop styles, as well as chord progression and accompaniment pieces.

Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele Music Keyboard
Hi! My name is Willa, and I've been teaching music for twelve years! I began learning piano at age four, and it became a deeper and deeper passion as the years passed. I dedicated myself to my craft and went on to become a Perry & Walters Music Foundation Scholar, attending Harding University and graduating Cum Laude with my BA in Music (emphasis in piano). I taught for a time in Searcy, (privately, and with the Searcy Community School of Music) and started a weekly music therapy program at a school for kids with mental and physical disabilities (The Sunshine School).

Instruments: Piano Clarinet
I incorporate the piano methods and teaching techniques from the traditions of Arthur Schnabel, Karl Ulrich Schnabel, Adele Marcus. Student of Justin Blasdale (Juilliards, Masters Degree) Student of Karl Ulricch Schabel (Berlin Hochschule fur Musik) Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am open to student selection of pieces with teacher approval for students of all ages. For teen and adult singers, I work more intensely on vocal technique. I try to find out their interests and goals, and provide instruction that is designed to help them achieve this. I have studied intensely with several of the greatest teachers of classical and popular style singing. This has given both me ability and flexibility in my teaching. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ
I'm a teacher who has experience with ages 8 to 80 (at least!). Collaborating with people at all levels of development is wonderful! Adult beginners find that they know more than they had anticipated. They will be playing familiar songs with two hands together in just a few lessons. My background includes diverse styles and genres, collaborations from church music positions and choral accompanying to teaching piano lessons and working with singers and instrumentalists. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For beginning students, I choose Alfred's Basic Piano Library and Faber Piano Adventures, and other brands/materials that fits the need of the student. I often made teaching materials myself, as well as writing music for my students. The most important thing for beginners are keeping interest and correct postures. Starting from songs the student recognize usually helps. For advance students, I usually recommend repertoire covering all 4 classical periods, plus etudes and finger trainings. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. I graduated from University of Hawaii with B.B. A. degree. I finished Diploma of Piano Performance in Associated Board of Royal School of Music, England. I have over 15 years of teaching experience. I teach classical as well as pop music. Most of my beginning level students are able to learn for long time. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Viola Electric Violin Keyboard
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I always loved the violin from a very young age. My mother would take me to open dress rehearsals of our local symphony and the violins absolutely captivated my imagination. I began to dream of being on that stage at age 7. At age 9, string classes were offered at my school and I was delighted that my parents agreed to get me a violin. The rest is history!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing is essential to learning anything. Imagine if you were to learn to walk or talk, but you only devoted 30 minutes per week to it. Music isn't any different than learning a new language; a little bit every day is more effective than a long session of practice once a week. I can give you tips as we go to make sure your practicing is fun and productive!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child is able to do **most** of the following, they are ready! (The rest I can teach!)
*responds to simple verbal instructions (like: move your head this way, lift your index finger, etc)
*shows curiosity about or desire to learn an instrument/sing (just wanting lessons counts for A LOT with me!!!)
*can focus on a task for approximately their age in minutes before becoming bored/frustrated (for example, I would expect a 9-year-old to lose focus and need a shift in activity roughly every 9 minutes)
*can physically handle the instrument in question (fingers strong enough to press piano keys, or shoulder strong enough to support a violin, for example)
*can respond to yes/no questions and articulate experience, and ask questions if he or she isn't sure what is being asked (Is the violin comfortable under your chin? Where should your left hand be?)
*understands that care must be taken when handling instruments (I will teach about maintenance and care, but it's important that the child has the maturity to understand the value of protecting the instrument)
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I've been inspired by every music teacher I've ever had, from my very first violin teacher through my college professors. I continue to be inspired by my fellow music teachers and former students who now teach! I've been most inspired by teachers I look up to as musicians who never stop learning and striving themselves.
When will I start to see results?
Some lessons will be more productive than others. We're all human and learn at different speeds. What took me two months to master when I was just starting might take your child two weeks. However, especially during the first several months of lessons, I'm confident that at the end of each lesson your child will be able to demonstrate something new!
