Instruments: Piano Guitar Ukulele Mandolin Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

There are moments that I look back and think how amazing is that students start from scratch and now they are able to create music on their favorite musical instrument. Technical development is always an essential element in my teaching but the ultimate goal is to help the students to feel and express music to the very extent their abilities. Often, I focus on the particular struggles a student may go through and I am trying to help them overcome the obstacle that may prevent them to enjoy the music they play. Read More

Instruments: Guitar

Playing any instrument takes hard work and passion. Everyone has thier own style and gift. The philosophy is just as important as the technique. My approach is about discovering the style and passion within the player. The technique will come with practice. Read More

Julia R

Instruments: Piano Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For beginners on guitar and piano, I start by introducing a basic understanding of music theory, so the students are comfortable with the fundamental mappings of notes and intervals. From there, I teach chords, scales, rhythms and song composition. I work with my students based on their individual musical preferences and desires -- whether you want to learn how to play your favorite songs, how to write your own songs, or how to play lead lines and solos, I'm here to support and nurture your craft!

The most important thing to me as a teacher is keeping my students' passion for music and the instrument of guitar alive. The best way to achieve this is to create a lesson plan specific to each students' desires and goals related to the instrument, as well as setting realistic goals for them each week. Establishing a student's musical interests and goals is essential to developing a fun and engaging lesson plan for them. Read More

Paul P

Instruments: Guitar Mandolin Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I began teaching private lessons during college but I have always shown people how to play instruments my entire career. I have always had a knack for both learning music and teaching it. One thing my students would say about me is that I am patient. Everyone learns in a different way and there is not one way to teach someone to play a song or read a sheet. Initially I learned by ear but my journey has lead me to advance my playing through non traditional routes such as learning from others along the way, reading sheet music and watching lessons online.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Synthesizer Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

It's all about having a clear goal in mind and working towards it: we'll have conversations about objectives and musical preferences (classical? jazz? rock and pop?) and then develop goals based on those preferences (playing live? what kind of pieces/songs?). Once I have an idea of where the student wants to be, I share my lesson plans with them and tell them what particular exercises or songs/pieces will fit those goals. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Repetition and going to the specific measure or line that is giving problems is effectively practicing. Once one gets the specific piece, adding on a measure at a time will reinforce the learned material through repetition.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the trombone is the slide-tongue technique, where the slide correlated with the tongue of the performer. It can be quite difficult, but practicing using slide movement warm-ups will help aid in the mastery in this technique.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am proud to be one of the first female trombone section leaders at South Carolina State University, and the first female section leader at my high school. I have performed in so many places, but my most favorite accomplishment was performing in the Honda Battle of the Bands. I had grown up watching the Honda Battle of the Bands as a child. I always told myself that I would one day be apart of a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Band perform in the event. Through practice, hard word, and diligence, I was able to perform in the event--3 times.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the trombone because it was different from any other instrument in music. I truly enjoy the slide and I feel truly at peace when playing it.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, my high school band director was my main inspiration to become a music teacher. He molded me as a musician and motivated me to be the person that I know I could be. He challenged me through challenging pieces of music and he was like a second father to me. He truly was always there for his students.

When will I start to see results?
It depends on your child, how much the student practices, and how the student keeps up with the lessons. You will see results when you can see your student progressively being able to blow through the instrument obtaining sound. It does take time and Rome was not built in a day, but progress will show when the student is comfortable and confident in what they are performing.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Children actually are ready to start lessons at a young age. It all depend on how engaging the instructor is that determines how much your student will gain from the lesson. I have worked with students as young as three years old, and they have been beyond ready for lessons

Personally, I don’t approach the blues scale in the same way I approach most other scales. You could practice it in “thirds”, etc. It’s possible. I do it sometimes, but it’s not necessarily practical. You don’t get the blues sound by playing it in “thirds”. You kind of just get the pentatonic sound with a weird added note in there. With the blues scale, you just have to find some lines that work and ... Read More

...the system was designed by Suzuki, each piece presents a new technical challenge. Maybe it’s a first experience with making “circles” in the air with the bow, and creating a smooth landing between violin string and bow during the “Allegro” tune. Perhaps it will be the use of staccato bows in the catchy piece, “Gossec Gavotte.” Whatever each new piece in the book presents, the student is gradually accumulating new techniques and skills that will help him master the repertoire in later books. Because every piece is a building block, many Suzuki teachers will encourage students to review their old ... Read More

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.
