Lansing D

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium

I am also experienced in online teaching and lessons, having taught music classes online through my district. I also maintain a busy adjudication schedule for solo and ensemble music, which has opened me to other pieces, ensembles and instruments. A seasoned drum corps performer and teacher, I have an extensive background in the marching musical arts. Many of my ensembles as both a performer and educator have been state ranked, rated high or awarded championship status based on their preparation and experience. Read More

Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder Music Keyboard

I have been teaching private music lesson for 5 years and have several loyal and dedicated students. My students participate in two performances each year, which I arrange. Our last recital was focused on the student's performing their own compositions that we wrote together in our lessons. Students should be able to play the music they enjoy, but are also encouraged to expland their horizons to new and different genres. I believe music lessons should be enjoyable experiences that the student looks forward to each week. Read More

Instruments: Piano Flute

It is very easy to turn it into a game or a fun challenge for the students. When learning how to readmusic on staff line, my lesson will always incorporate some kind of fun projects or activity such asputting fruit loops noteheads on string staff lines. Learning never demands seriousness all the time.When there is time to learn, there is always opportunities to use the knowledge in a creative andexciting way. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet

It is a great joy to see students learn, grow, and have fun! I begin by asking the student of their goals, and eventually help them develop new goals as they explore and find their unique gifts. Students are provided with a unique, well-rounded program tailored for them, including the foundational resources and understanding needed to fly with other musicians. Each student will find that I am looking into their musical interests and strong points as an outlet to keep the lessons personal and relevant, including compositions written just for them, while continuously stretching them to the next step as they advance to their vision.

Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Piccolo

I always figure out where a student is at, and prefer to grow off the student's strengths as opposed to harping on their weaknesses. I have been in lessons before where teachers couldn't get past the smallest details, and these ruined the experience for me, as well as greatly affected what I was able to accomplish in my lessons. The opposite is also true, in that I have had teachers that haven't even informed me of a weakness that I had, and I wasn't able to improve because of it. 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.
