Michael R

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone

For beginners, I start with a mixture of the Suzuki method and the Essential Elements book. I find that combining ear training while simultaneously developing the ability to read music only accelerates the learning process. Teaching adults of any level are all about assessing interests and goals. I find out where the interest in creativity lies in every individual and work on developing that so the lessons remain fun and fulfilling. Read More

Madison A

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Piccolo Music

I do my best to find the "Goldilocks Zone" for each student; I make sure to assign exercises that aren't too easy, but not impossible. One of the newest sayings that I have adopted into my studio is "Nothing is difficult, it is just new". There is nothing in music (or life) that is too difficult; it is just new. You just need to take the time to figure out how to do it. Read More

Dave H

Instruments: Piano

I fell in love with music at the young age of four years old. I began taking lessons then and studied music formally until I was twenty years old. I went on to play in several bands, compose songs and musical scores and make recordings. I have a lot of experience teaching classical and pop music styles and I have a lot of patience. After high school, I began setting my poems to music which led to a reenactment of the well-known songwriter fable, moving from Toronto, Ontario, to California to follow my dream of becoming a successful songwriter.

Virginia T

Instruments: Piano

Especially for young students, my lessons involve a great deal of activities including numerous musical games, movements, theory time, rhythm clapping, music story telling, etc. In fact, in my graduate studies, the topic of my graduation project was Musical Games. The variety of the lesson can not only solve the issue of short attention span of young children, but also reinforce learned materials, prepare for and follow up on important concepts, and simply spice up the lesson.

I have studied and performed music for over 30 years. I graduated from California State University, East Bay in 2010, and have completed 1 year of my M.M. in Trombone Performance from the University of North Texas. I am currently based in the SF Bay Area and plan to continue my studies here. I have extensive experience playing in many ensembles in many different styles, such as: orchestra, brass quintet, jazz band, rock band, horn sections, chamber music, as well as numerous others.

Jaime M

Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo

It is important and rewarding for both me and the student to have a passion for their music and learning. Because of this, it is important to me that each student sets their own goals. I will encourage and help the students to set high but realistic goals that will bring them enthusiasm for the music. I try to bring inspiration and a lot of guidance to each student. And I love to have fun. Read More

Heather W

Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo Music Keyboard

I don't have any experience at this time but I think that it is very important to get a regular constant practice schedule so that they can understand and practice the key points that were taught to them. I will give the students some classical music and modern music because I know that it will help the students learn if they play something they would like to play. I want the students to have fun with their playing as well. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Sarah G

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!

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. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
