Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Viola Drums Electric Violin Fiddle Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Djembe Acoustic Guitar
I began teaching career my senior year of college, since then I have taught privately and collectively for the past 15 years. I have taught classical, broadway, gospel, Latin, Indian, and African forums of music in variety of ways. Private or small group lessons have always been my favorite, because more attention and passion can be put into the music. I have taught all age groups and i love assisting students in discovering their passion for music. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I like to use "Piano Adventures by Faber". Also I teach music theory and ear training. My students musical interests are important to me. I try to find materials that they will enjoy playing. Children must be thought not what to think but how to think. I ask my students to try to find the answer themselves not always giving them the answer. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching in the States for about 9 years. It is a pleasure for me to hear my students progress from their first steps as timid, first-time players to confident and more musically mature young musicians. My students participate in a monthly MDML recital and an annual music test organized by the MMTA. I believe performing for others is a good way for students to grow into their roles as musicians and to acquire a sense of accomplishment. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
During the first lesson I have the student sing (if it is a vocal lesson) their favorite song so I can hear them. After that i use my keyboard and take the student through some excersizes to really home in on that range. I listen for qualities and we discuss the positives and what improvements are needed. After the first lesson we choose music: a classical art song book and theory book of my choosing, and a songbook of the student's choosing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
My teaching style is focus to develop my student's own artistic personality. I always remind my students the importance of growing as a musician using your unique perception of music. That is what makes every student special. In addition, I combine, not just different music styles, but also, different types of art. The understanding of the relationship of music with another arts and history is as important to me as the technique itself. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My teaching experence started, as I mentioned above, in 2005 when I started giving training courses at some churches. That was in Baghdad, giving training courses to kids who were interested in playing with choirs. Basically the courses were divided into two lessons/ week: 1 lesson in theories, 1 lesson in applied music. Then I started giving private lessons also in Baghdad. Then I moved to Lebanon, where I taught in two institutes for music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
For young students just beginning, I use a system of "music play" which includes games and engaging activities for the child to become interested in music. I borrow heavily from both Music Learning Theory and the Orff Method, as well as include games and ideas that I have found to be creative and educational. After this stage of learning, I start students on basic notation and sight reading, and learning what the notes on the page mean. Read More
Instruments: Voice Recorder
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 Alfred book It’s Recorder Time for the Recorder because they are the best at teaching the basic method of learning. Also the Alfred book includes a collection of 37 solos and duets and trios for ALL occasions. It covers note chart for the soprano recorder. It cover the recorder family soprano, alto, the tenor, the bass. It teaches the student how to hold the recorder, the production of tone, and how to care for the recorder. This book helps getting acquainted with music it covers notes, the staff, and the treble clef.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
During practice session the students will repeatedly go over Music that was covered that day.
I have a common “practice for 30 minutes” rule, I recommend the child practice 30 minutes a day and generally increase this time as they get older. In attempts to reenforce what they learned. First, divide the week’s goal into seven equal parts and make sure your child understands each one.
Daily goals should be attended to every day and should involve playing scales or other technique-building skills; advancement on specific pieces can be more spread out, as long as the child continues to move forward with the piece.
Progress should be measured and appropriately altered each day (if needed) by analyzing the amount of effort, frustration and completion/advancement in reaching the daily goals.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
All of my students went from elementary to junior high school prepared for the next level in their music journey.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
When your instrument is your voice, understanding how to be flexible with your tone is the hardest thing to master. Your tone matters. When you are singing correctly you will find that you can "mix" your different vocal registers in with each other. And when you can do this, you will have access to many different vocal colors. You'll be able to sing quietly with a sweet angelic tone… you'll be able to sing with a more aggressive edge… you'll be able to sing powerfully by mixing more of your "chest" and mouth resonance into the tone… Vocal diversity is a must. It is very much about conditioning your singing muscles exactly as they were designed to. Unlike running, with singing there are usually LARGE improvements that can be made, the voice can do great things it just takes time.
