Francisco C

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

I recently finished my studies to receive my Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy degree from Sam Houston State University. At SHSU I gained experience working with a variety of clientele including those diagnosed with autism, dementia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and spina bifida. I also provided live percussion music with the Creative Movement Program with the dance department at Sam Houston State University. I hope that in the near future I can own my own private studio where I can host music lessons and music therapy sessions. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

I like to make sure that my students are actually learning the exercises rather than just going through the motions. If I find them making mistakes I stop them and ask them to explain to me what they are supposed to be doing. This helps me pinpoint whether they need further teaching or just more practice. I am very careful to try to catch and correct bad habits early before they become ingrained. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar

My methods for new students is to find out exactly what level they are at and accomidate. I have a collection of different books for children and for older students we can dive right in to a certain style. I do believe that every musician should have a stong understanding of the foundations. With a stong theory background I can push students to where they want to go. Read More

Wangui N

Instruments: Piano

I am a lover of music that has always enjoyed sharing it with others. I have been involved in musical activities all through since grade school. I graduated with a Master of Music Arts with a specialty in teaching from Texas Woman's University so I could better share my love of music. I have also been in one choir or another over the years. I sang with the Denton Community Chorus, Nairobi Concert Choir and had the privilege of performing at Carnegie Hall in New York City with the Texas Woman's University Concert Choir. Read More

Yusef M

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Organ

I've been in the field of music education, production and performance for over 20 years. I have spent half of my life helping others find their path in music. One of the most important lessons I have learned as a teacher is that...."people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care!!!!" I understands that building a relationship with a student is just as important as the information I teach. Read More

Brooke B

Instruments: Piano

My teaching experience dates back to when I was in middle school, and I taught my neighbor's kids. Since then, I have had several piano students. I have also worked for a school district as a Substitute Teacher where I had the opportunity to teach a variety of subjects and work with a multitude of students. I would like to expand on my private teaching experience, as teaching and playing piano have always come naturally to me. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Francesca L

Instruments: Flute

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session for me typically consists of a one-hour warm-up, where I begin with long tones and vibrato/tone exercises and then proceed to scale and arpeggio exercises of varying difficulty. I like to switch up the exercises that I do in my warm-ups each day so that I am constantly challenging myself and I never get too comfortable with any one exercise. I then move onto etude practice, and I am pushing myself to learn 3 etudes per week so I learn 3-4 lines of each per day. After I am completely warmed up, I will move onto solo repertoire, where I only focus on the sections that are giving me difficulty. I will practice these sections in a variety of different ways until I have fixed the problems, and then I typically end my practice sessions by either running through a large section of a piece or playing something I really enjoy.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use the Rubank Method books to teach fundamentals, partially because it was the book that my first private teacher used with me and I found that it worked very well, but also because they start from the very beginning and have great exercises for absolute beginners as well as intermediate and advanced students. There are three volumes of this book, and I find that it is rewarding for students to move onto the next book as an incentive of their growth and hard work. I also use the Forty Little Pieces book for beginners to introduce repertoire, and for more intermediate and advanced students I use the 24 Short Concert Pieces for Flute and Piano collection in addition to integrating standard repertoire.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
In the beginning, the hardest aspect of flute playing to master is learning how to develop a proper embouchure and how to manage your breathing and air speed to create sound. It can be very difficult and even frustrating for many people to try and produce a sound the first time they pick up a flute, but the more that they experiment with embouchure placement and work on developing their lung capacity and strength, the easier it becomes to produce a beautiful tone. I always tell my beginning students that the flute is one of the hardest instruments to learn (it takes almost as much air to play as a tuba - believe it or not!), but once you learn it you will have learned it for life.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
All of my former students have received the highest ratings on their solo performances in both the District and State levels of the Michigan State Band and Orchestra Association Solo and Ensemble competitions. They have also been accepted into the Michigan All-State Honors Band, have all held a principal position in their school bands, and have excelled in every aspect of their flute playing. Although none of my former students decided to pursue a career in music, they are all still playing the flute and it remains to be a very important part of their lives.

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.

Are you sure that's your only availability? The more availability you easier it will be to arrange a teacher for you.
