Kalie G

Instruments: Flute

I really enjoy seeing my students develop a passion and a love for the music and instrument they are learning! This is so beyond rewarding for a teacher. I believe it is important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I want the goals that I set out and the student sets out to be realistic, and we will work to achieve those goals they have set out for themselves. 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

I developed my skills as a result of my upbringing. My mother was a teacher who specialized in encouraging me to live up to my most cherished dreams. Music was a good enough fit for me that I studied, performed, and taught for many years. Now, after fifteen years, I seek to go back to teaching private lessons - which will work better with a more seasoned perspective. No matter what else you want out of life, you chose music.

Tim K

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet

I began teaching in 2000, and since then have taught saxophones, flute, clarinet, improvisation, chord theory, piano / keyboard, basic music understanding to young children in a classroom setting, and coached worship teams and group seminars to all ages. It is a great joy to see students excel and expand as they take what they have learned into their own lives! Without focus on achieving this, I have witnessed most of my school-aged students advance to lead positions in the ensembles they are involved with, as well as continuing with a passion in their gifts!

Yeji Y

Instruments: Piano Flute

As a pianist, I took classes from IU that broadened my capability as a teacher to teach everything from general, choral, and instrumental music. I had my senior piano solo recital. I have a diverse range of performing experiences as a vocalist, including Opera, International Vocal Ensemble, and show choirs. With voice lessons, I have learned a lot about singing and being able to teach healthy singing. As an instrumentalist, I played in band ensemble for 10 years and have also taken all the instrumental technique classes that study instruments by families in depth. Read More

My teaching experience began in the fall of 2010, when I started my college career. Since then I have been teaching private lessons and have also taught in group homes. I encourage short, frequent practice sessions with a variety or repertoire to keep students motivated. I am always looking to bring on new students of all ages! Read More

Lansing D

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium

I'm a firm believer in taking a student where they are and building off of their interests. Finding what a student is interested in and using that as a starting point is a part of my teaching approach. At the same time, there are some things that are critical to be taught at every level that should be incorporated on some level so there's a holistic and balanced education. I find a combination of fundamental skills, scales, music theory, some history, critical thinking and analysis combined with whatever solo or individual study from school or other sources. 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.
