Meredith M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

I create my own custom plans for each student. Different students have different needs and I format my lessons with that in mind. Keeping the student engaged while learning is the most important thing to me for lessons. My teaching pace is also based on the student and what he or she is capable of and comfortable with. I also make sure to help my students learn what they want to learn because some students may want to focus on performance while others might want to focus on music theory. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Drums Bass Guitar Electric Violin Fiddle Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I believe in teaching people to be true musicians and tap into their own creative spirits, not just to be technicians at the mercy of what's written for them. With that said, I take a balanced approached between learning traditional fundamentals and some of my own more philosophical approach, drawing on metaphors and analagous experiences to help frame this learning experience in ways the student can relate and understand. I call this The Art of Practice, which you'll be able to apply elsewhere in your life as well. Read More

Sam O

Instruments: Guitar Voice Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My goal is to inspire and invigorate my students with the gift of music. Scales and fingering/vocal exercises can become boring and tiresome especially for new and younger students. I find ways to make these more mundane parts of the lesson fun with games and veiled learning that keep students engaged. Together we'll set realistic goals at each lesson and make sure we acknowledge at the end of the lesson how we've progressed and what we need to work on. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Mandolin Lute Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

The most important thing for any musician at any level is love. I know and respect this immensely. My studies will focus on helping my student find their passion for the instrument. I aim to challenge my students in a doable way, and help them technically and expressively. My teaching style is pliable and I easily find a good way of connecting to my students. With all the resources I have at my disposal, I know that I can get through to any student and help them on their path of becoming a successful musician. Read More

Reid M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar

My teaching experience goes back 9 years. Before I moved to Chicago for school, I lived with my parents in Springfield, IL and taught private drum lessons out of their basement. Although I did not have a lot of experience teaching, I realized how rewarding it was to see a student learnand gain confidence on their instrument. It was something that I wanted to do more and saw a future in teaching. Read More

Evan B

Instruments: Guitar Drums Djembe

I have taught friends and family how to play both drums and guitar. I am always happy to share my knowledge of music theory and composition. I enjoy teaching and have a passion for music. I give great guidelines and techniques for writing original music.  I can help students convey emotion in their music using music intervals, chord types, scales, modes, and rhythm. I have patience and understanding of the learning process. Read More

I'm also certified in audio engineering and music production (Garnish School of Music Production, SAE Institute), so if you want to know about the recording process, DJing, or electronic music-making, I'm your guy! Currently, I'm training to become a nationally-accredited music therapist at Loyola University of New Orleans. También hablo español!

How Does a Piano Work?

...when keys are pressed down. Cristofori made some small adjustments to this system that resulted in an instrument that sounded dramatically new, distinct, and different from the harpsichord. His biggest adjustment was changing the harpsichord string-plucking feature to a new system that used small hammers to strike each string.   The Power To Play Loudly And Softly   So, how does a piano work? By using an intricate system of tiny hammers designed to strike suspended strings. Cristofori also added a system of small dampening pads that could be controlled by foot pedals.

Rhythm Guitar vs Lead Guitar

...can stand on. Without rhythm guitar players, you wouldn’t have chords for singers to sing melodies over.   Lead Guitar Playing   Lead guitarists are responsible for playing ornamental melodic material within a song. This includes melody lines, instrumental fill passages, guitar solos, and occasionally some riffs within a song structure. Any time you hear a guitar playing a discernible melody, that’s lead guitar playing. Many people have the misconception that lead guitar players strictly play flashy guitar solos, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.     Exceptions   There’s a bit of a grey area when discussing rhythm guitar vs lead ...
