Instruments: Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Accordion Lap Steel Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Teaching has been my passion for over 15 years and I strive to help students achieve their goals no matter how small or large they may be. I try to create a relaxed atmosphere where students can be themselves while still holding them accountable for their practice. Whether it's learning to strum a few chords so you can play along with some of your favorite songs, or learning to perform classical, jazz, or rock in front of an audience, I strive to set short term and long term goals to help students reach their full potential.

Tyler L

Instruments: Piano Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For beginning students, I begin with basic open chords and scales. Once the student has basic chords down I like to teach them a song of there choosing. I found this to be one of the most rewarding experiences when I began taking lessons. For adults, I like to hear any ideas they may have and give my input and direction. I work hard to keep lessons engaging for adults, I like to think every student can learn something new every lesson! Read More

Instruments: Guitar Drums Mallet Percussion Electric Guitar

I essential teach intermediate students only, giving my current experience. I usually start with the basics and start to get to know where the student is at first. Then I would go ahead and just hit a drum book with basic rhythms and start to go through it and try to create exercises from it. I have my own philosophies too, being taught by world class marchers, from whom I have obtained those philosophies from. Read More

In 2010 I released my first solo album, After Tonight. Here is what a world famous producer Cliff Cultreri says about me: " Vlad is an absolute sweetheart of human being and a superb and very emotional player who puts all his heart into his music.I think he would be a great asset as a teacher as he is such likeable individual and he lives to play, learn and share/teach the guitar.

Teacher In Spotlight

Ann S

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Ukulele Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Music

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Build it into a routine or schedule. (For example, always practice for the first thirty minutes following supper). Set a timer, don't look at the clock, and read the notes left by the teacher. I always give students a list of what I'm expecting them to practice, and part of the lesson is that I teach them how to practice what I've assigned.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Definitely a history teacher! History is my second love, and actually studying it is not that much different than studying musical styles. Both music and art reflect history almost more than a written record does! The world is full of rich cultures that I love to study, especially through music.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There is usually one of two reasons a student begins lessons, and each have a different answer. First, a child wants to learn. Sometimes kids say they really want to learn an instrument, but don't understand the effort and diligence that it takes. While music is a gateway to train a child in effort, diligence, patience, and self-discipline, it's helpful if you notice these qualities in your child in every day instances before they begin. If a child has proven that he is willing to put work in for other things, chances are if he's wanting to learn an instrument, he'll put in the work in that area as well. Also, long-term interest is more likely to result in long-term commitment. How long have they been asking for lessons? A couple of weeks, a couple of months, or on and off for years? These answers can help determine how ready your child is. Second, a parent is looking to expose their child to music education. In this case, it's likely that the initial desire to play the instrument is not had by the child, although they quite possibly are open to learning and often do eventually enjoy it. Because a main ingredient of success is motivation, the same qualities from the first reason above can be good indicators that your child is ready to add this commitment to their life. However, if your child has yet to learn diligence and self-control, especially while sitting for long periods of time (such as the length of a lesson or practice session), I would suggest that you introduce them to this quality first before putting them in lessons. A child that has to learn to sit still at a piano bench, in addition to all the skills the teacher is trying to introduce, is more distracted, and therefore will stay at a beginner's level longer to compensate.

When will I start to see results?
It all depends on the student, the instrument, and what you consider to be "results". If you consider a short melody played on the piano to be a result, the student will begin to learn these little "songs" by the second week of lessons. For violin students, you may not hear melodies that resemble recognizable songs for several weeks, although many notes and exercises are learned weekly.

...Disney.   “There’s no doubt Chuck Jones teases classical music. It’s high-falutin’, and Bugs isn’t that,” says William Gadea, founder of Idea Rocket Animation in NYC.   The Warner Bros. cartoons certainly weren’t devoid of artistic feeling, though. “When Bugs conducts in Long-Haired Hare and Baton Bunny, he really feels the music! It’s genuine,” adds Gadea.   If you’re familiar with Wile E. Coyote, Pepe le Pew, Elmer Fudd, Marvin the Martian, or Michigan J. Frog, then you’ll recognize the sharp wit and endless creativity of Chuck Jones. He burst onto the animation scene in the 1930s with Leon Schlesinger Productions—Schlesinger produced Looney Tunes—before continuing... Read More

...major has no flats or sharps, so by default it’s the easiest key to understand and play in. Now we’ll discuss the fifths part of the circle of fifths. A fifth refers to the interval above a note. Here’s where it gets slightly tricky. An interval of a fifth is located 7 half steps away from the original note. On the keyboard, a half step is the distance between C and C#. Starting with the note of C, if we count seven half steps above, we’ll arrive at the note of G. This is the right side of the circle; ... Read More

...octave above called the Octavia was first designed by Jimi Hendrix’s sound technician Roger Mayer in the 1960’s. The effect can be heard during his solo in the song “Purple Haze.” Today, octave pedals are used in many different genres including psych rock, indie pop, metal, and shoegaze. The hugely famous song “Seven Nation Army” by The White Stripes uses this pedal to generate notes an octave lower to create a low end bass line that’s played on the 6th string of Jack White’s guitar. When adjusted in just the right way, this effect pedal can mimic the sound of a booming pipe organ. ... Read More

Or, if you know that wedding season really accelerates in the spring, you will need to make time for those rehearsals and ceremonies. Anticipate your obligations, and plan your teaching schedule around them. Put in some time for a break at the end of the year. Start lessons after a rest. You need to recharge your ... Read More
