Lansing D

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium

I have a lifelong commitment to teaching music and teaching the complete individual. In 1994 I graduated with my Bachelors in Music Education from Syracuse University, and continued my studies with a Masters of Science in Music Education and Instructional Design, Development and Evaluation. Through my career, i've taught music at all levels, from elementary music classes to middle and high school band, and even orchestra. All ages beginner to advanced have been a part of my 15 years of classroom teaching. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Ukulele Recorder Euphonium French Horn Tuba Electric Guitar Djembe

In essence, my love of teaching stems from my Mom's love of teaching. She sincerely desired to teach my siblings and myself to pursue our highest dreams. It turned out that I did succeed as a star performer in music, on stages around the world. But also, when I decided to settle down, I added education to my 10-year plan. So, I went back to school for another master's degree, and taught music in CPS - performing three nights per week with my the Bartels/Benson duo, Connexion Band, Prohibition Orchestra, Bryan Skyler Trio, and other groups.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet

Lessons are catered to each individual student. The lessons are set up to maintain a balance between fun (to keep them encouraged) and necessary exercises to build the foundations that will excel them to the next level. Such methods will include basic music understanding such as posture/finger positions, reading music, ear training, improvisation, finger-memory exercises, etc., where they will both purposefully learn techniques and unknowingly develop very important musical faculties.

Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Piccolo

I have taught multiple beginning flute and voice students throughout my college career, as well as assisting the music students at Rolling Hills Elementary School in Mukwonago with their head start program. I wish to continue on into graduate school for Music Therapy, and for this reason, I also have experience working with both adolescence and adults that have developmental disabilities. I believe that music can be enjoyed by people of all different ages and experience levels, and I hope to work with students like these that are eager to learn. Read More

Instruments: Flute

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I begin teaching private lessons leading flute choirs. I have been consistently teaching students in my home or their homes for the last 6 years. I encourage regular practice as this tends to help the student progress in their instrument talent. I really enjoy challenging my students while having fun during their lessons, it makes my job much more enjoyable it encourages them to love their instrument! Read More

Alysia R

Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo

I am neither strict nor laid back. In order to improve, however, students are required to practice everyday (even if it is for 15 minutes a day). I do not demand perfection from my students, but I do expect students to put in the effort to learn. I truly want to teach students to play music and I want to encourage students to find joy in making music. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

John L

Instruments: Trombone

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I was writing songs when I was 12 years old. I think in my head I had decided by 11 years old that I was going to be onstage. The very first professional funk band I was a part of was called Soul Turtle, when I was 19 years old. My very first gig with them was at Cafe on the Square in San Marcos, TX. It was so packed they couldn't fit any more people in. My mother told me later that her and my oldest sister secretly drove up from San Antonio to see me. They couldn't even get in, but she told me how wonderful it was to walk across the square and hear me, everywhere. My mother didn't live very much longer after that, but her memory of it lasts with me forever.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I have two older sisters who were in the school band as I was growing up. To me music was a given part of life. I always knew that I was going to have to play something. I always knew that I was going to be in band, and in some way I always knew that I would be part of a band as a grownup. Both of my sisters were in the color guard, and both were officers. In our school you had to be in the band to be part of the color guard. I always knew I'd be in some sort of leadership in the band also. My senior year I was the Band President and trombone section leader. We had over 275 band members at the time.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I've had to learn to play piano, as music school required two years of lessons to acquire the ability to accompany either a vocalist or solo instrument. Other than that I've played bass guitar at a very introductory level. I've always thought that there is a need to concentrate on one instrument in order to play it very well. That being said, I've always concentrated on the trombone. I've been told by other musicians over the years that the trombone may be one of the hardest instruments they've ever tried to play. Still I have friends who play multiple instruments, and never cease to amaze me.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I've been performing in funk bands since I was 19 years old. I have extensive experience with improvisation now and have had a fondness for Texas funk music since I first heard it when I was young. I've played many styles of music from art rock to classical, but I've opened many doors through the funk community. I've performed with members of many great old and new funk bands over the years, and met so many of my favorite funk artists on the way from Sly Stone to Flea to George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic. I've written horn charts, recorded and hit the stage with many of them.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I've always felt the importance of music. If I weren't a musician I would dream about being one. I have friends I've known since I was young, who are friends of mine because of our shared love of music, who have decided as grown ups to take up an instrument. It seems to be what they've been missing in their lives all along. My friends have all become musicians, sound engineers, DJ's, and even roadies. If I wasn't a musician I would be working at a music store, record store, radio station or music instrument repair shop. I'd have to surround myself with music in one setting or another.

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.
