Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Euphonium Tuba
As a guitar teacher, I like to start with getting the student accustomed with each string, including how to tune a guitar and how to play different notes on each string. Next, I start teaching chords by starting with E minor and then moving as little as possible with the fingers so the student can understand the relation between certain chords. For voice, I start with posture and breath support and work on vocal techniques before we even start with singing songs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Accordion Music Keyboard
My teaching style is all about steady, consistent progress. It is very valuable to dedicate even the smallest amount of time each day to practice. I like to provide my students a range of exercises to reinforce material that's already been learned, familiarize themselves with new concepts, and then a little bit extra if they feel inspired to branch out. I aim, also, to share my enthusiasm about music with my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Music Keyboard
Methods will be by case to case basis. Children with be asked to purchase the John Thomson Piano Book series as we first dive into reading music notation, learn our Keys, and begin basic music history. If parents are interested I suggest learning alongside children to help with weekly practice. Adults will be depending on resources and goals - What makes you want to take lessons? - Who and what inspired you to do it -What genre are you looking to play *Classical Music ( My expertise) is a lot of fun but can be very demanding, I will not introduce this material unless requested* Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I now have 3+ years of teaching experience privatlely as well have taught in some of the local schoool system's music programs as a substitute teacher. The people I have met along the way of always added something to my life as I have hoped to have added something to theirs as well. Music is a journey in more ways than one. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Trumpet Trombone Flute Clarinet Double Bass
I cater lessons to YOUR needs and goals. I am not invested in there being a "right" technique of any kind. Together we will create a custom approach so that you will love the experience of playing the music you love. I will share fun and efficient ways to practice so that you get immediate results. If desired, I also guarantee you will be playing a blues and improvising within a maximum of 6 weeks as long as you practice at least 10 minutes, three times a week. You will have the option of playing along with recordings minus your part so that you can experience the joy of ensemble playing early on in the safety of your own home. I love creating small ensemble groups of students at similar levels and arranging concerts at regular intervals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
I always emphasize musicality in my teaching, because if as performers, we are focusing on being expressive, we'll convey our love of music! If a student can think about what the music is expressing, they will be more motivated to keep practicing. I focus on the fundamentals such as tone, rhythm, dynamics, timbre, basic music theory and history. I always give specific positive feedback, along with a tip for improvement. Finally, I always go over how, how much, and what to practice in lessons, so the student can learn what to listen for and focus on outside of the lesson, and keep improving during the week. Read More
Instruments: Piano Accordion
I have been giving private piano lessons to children and adults for over 10 years. It is extremely gratifiying and rewarding to see students grasp concepts and learn to play. My lessons extend beyond just learning to play a piece of music. I also discuss theory and harmony when appropriate as we learn new music. I encourage improvising and email links to various performers in a variety of genres. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I am the only musician in my family. My parents both played in their school band but never pursued music beyond.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I always knew.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in performance and composition. I love to perform and find it to be quite challenging; I love a challenge. I also love to express my creativity through composition.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to perform my own compositions in concert. As much as I love performing Beethoven and Chopin, I want to create my own works to share with others.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician, I'd spend all of my time with art. For the past few years, I have been working with metal and kinetic sculpture.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My passion has always been classical piano. In the recent years, I have fallen in love with arranging and teaching pop, rock and metal for piano.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started playing flute in college for some experience with another instrument.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I used to use Alfred, Bastien, Piano Adventures and several others. I still occasionally use songs from those books. However, I have developed my own style of teaching using songs that the student likes as course material. I arrange it myself.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
When I practice, I start with drills and exercises to get my fingers moving. If I'm deeply immersed into learning a piece, I concentrate on a section and loop it until it becomes easy and/or memorized.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
There are so many levels in piano. If we are speaking about advanced playing, the hardest thing to master is fluidity in the musical lines so that it is expressive.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
For several years I had trained students for competition. Most of them had taken awards in their age category and a few of them have placed 1st in advanced categories.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I really love the complexity and expression of a piano.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have one numerous awards in college, performed solo recitals, accompanied an orchestra, created hundreds of piano tutorials on YouTube and can arrange any music to be suitable on piano.
When will I start to see results?
You will see results in the first lesson.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Every piano teacher I had was a true inspiration for me. I have loved classical music so much growing up that everything that I learned from one of my piano teachers has been influential in my life.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Your child is ready for lessons when they express an interest in learning and are able to follow along to a teacher. It also helps if they are old enough to read. Their enthusiasm and ability to focus is key.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I find my practice most effective when I pick a section (whether 2 measures, 8 measures or a page and loop it around many times).
