Instruments: Piano Voice
No musician is complete without an understanding of the piano; my own experience began at an early age, and I encourage any student to begin studying piano as soon as possible! I have studied with amazing pedagogues and scholars alike, and carry their teaching with me where ever I go. Although the bulk of my professional resume is made up with operatic experience, my roots lie in choral music, jazz, and musical theater. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Ukulele Mandolin Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I've been teaching music for a little over 5 years (2014). I have started many kids who don't know if they would rather learn guitar, drums, or piano. So I give them a tour of all three and show them the basics before they decide their favorite. I encourage consistent practice and practice methods that ensure that the students always feel a sense of improvement without frustration. Personally I've felt the sense of improvement after practicing but was still more agitated, but that was college, before I started teaching. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been teaching piano for over twenty years. My teaching philosophy is that every piano lesson should be fun. For young beginners, I focus on basic technique. The reason is that it is very important to form good playing skills right from the beginning. For older students, I broaden their musical knowlege by introducing piano literature from different time periods. I also encourage them to pick songs that they like to play. 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 Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Double Bass
My style is to get students to start performing and playing songs, so that they maybe come as passionate about music as I am! I try to keep each student at paces they are comfortable with and set goals for each student to get to the next level. I tailor my instruction to inspire students to create and make music. Read More
Instruments: Flute
When will I start to see results?
You may start to see results as early as a few weeks after your child's first private lesson. While great teachers can help students accomplish a lot during their private lesson time, the student's diligent practice work outside of lessons will increase the rate at which they are improving on their instrument of choice. At the beginning of your child's musical journey, each lesson will revolve around learning fundamentals on their instrument (i.e. how to form a proper embouchure, how to hold the flute with the proper hand position, where to place their fingers on the keys, etc.). As they learn these skills, you will begin to hear them playing notes, then scales, then a simple and recognizable melody. After they master the fundamentals, they will be able to play more challenging repertoire and conquer more challenging scale and arpeggio exercises. The potential of what your student is able to do on the flute is limitless with consistent private lessons!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Having a concrete plan of what you would like to accomplish in each practice session is essential. I advise my students to keep a "to-do" list on or near their music stand during each practice session with a breakdown of the repertoire they want to work on, which sections are giving them difficulty, and then a time limit for how long they intend to practice each session. This helps to keep you on track so that you can practice more efficiently in less time. I also advise my students not to just run through large sections of their repertoire or always play the sections that they do really well, instead focus on practicing the things that challenge them so that they can play these sections with ease.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child is passionate about music and interested in learning more about the instrument they are playing, private lessons are a great way to allow them to explore their passion with the guidance of an experienced mentor. Private lessons can be started at any age and any ability, and with the right teacher your child will experience joy in learning more about and improving on the instrument of their choice. Learning a musical instrument can benefit your child in so many different ways, including improving their problem solving skills, their math skills, and allowing them to creatively and freely express themselves through playing music.
