Instruments: Guitar Lap Steel Guitar Mandolin

I like to keep a fun, lighthearted, and exciting mood in my lessons. My priority is keeping students working towards their own goals. I certainly hope to influence those goals, but if the student doesn't have the motivation, no one else can help them. In some ways, I view myself not as a teacher, but as a guide. A student can be their own best teacher, but without guidance and explanation, it is easy to get lost. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I approach learning music as a no pressure situation. Everyone is going to learn at their own pace. I recommend setting a goal or a benchmark of what you would like to learn or where you would like to be. We will work together to set an effective practice routine that helps you achieve that goal while making you feel accomplished and engaged. After all, having fun is the name of the game! Read More

Jesse B

Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Djembe Acoustic Guitar

The material I teach covers scales, chords, and music theory. We can practice a variety of exercises that help improve your rhythm and dexterity. In order to tie everything together, I think it is important to play music with each other and along with recorded music as an example. Admittedly, the content of scales, chords, and music theory in itself can be dry. This is why I tend to customize how to practice something like a pentatonic minor scale. Read More

David S

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Double Bass Music Acoustic Guitar

In every lesson, I will check in with the student to see how they are progressing and will address any issues that have arisen during their practice sessions. I try very hard to tune into the individual student's learning style and to figure out the best way to communicate my philosophy. I like to start with an example from whatever musical style from which the student wishes to learn and from there I will look to derive a greater understanding of how and why the music works the way that it does.

Patrick H

Instruments: Clarinet

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I highly advice practicing quality over quantity. One can practice a phrase 20 times but if he or she does not understand how the phrase is contrived, he or she will not conceptualize it. Practice slow, and have a process to learn the piece of music (example: look at the key signature, what time is it in, what accidentals outside the key are present, chunk out each section). If you miss a note, stop and go back. It is so easy to let mistakes slide. this is specific for intonation but sing the phrase of music and then play the piece.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If the child displays a natural talent for music, it is important to act upon that, even if it is learning general music, which can later translate to an instrument. For example, I teach Clarinet beginning at the age of 10-11 years old. If my student is only 8 but can hold, and play the Clarinet, I will start at that age. It is also noteworthy to say one shouldn't start a student with an instrument too young because his/her lungs and mechanical movement are not developed enough and can cause permanent damage later in life.

When will I start to see results?
Results are gradual, meaning they do not happen overnight. Progress and improvement occurs through a consistent practice schedule, qualitative practicing and a deep desire to learn. If a student is struggling through a passage of music or something fundamentally based, that means he or she is learning to break a bad habit or learning the piece of music. It is important to set up a positive and encouraging environment where success can happen. If need be, one should track a student's progress and in turn be able to see the results of hard work.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, I did. When I was in Band my freshman year in high school, I was in the top wind ensemble, but the only freshman Clarinetist. Once I saw how this band performed and my band director conduct, it lit a fire in myself that ultimately inspired me to pursue music. From there, I began taking private lessons and honestly enjoyed them, along with playing Clarinet solos. I thought it was really neat to watch my band director conduct and teach myself all about music which later inspired me to pursue my bachelors and later my master's in music.

When Should You Upgrade Your Instrument?

...If your music studies concentrate on playing a specific instrument, the cost of that instrument is going to be one of your most significant expenses. One of the biggest debates that people have when somebody decides to take music lessons – particularly a child – is how much money they want to spend on an instrument. After all, an adult or a child may start out playing the trumpet and then suddenly decide that the viola is really where it’s at. Most of the time, music stores online or off will have plenty of beginner level instruments. These are instruments that are generally chosen because they have acceptable quality but are ...

...and classical concerts when I was young, so my interest in music was very natural to me, it wasn’t forced at all. I’ve seen parents who force their kids to play a certain instrument, and the kids often end up not wanting to play music at all. On the other hand, the child needs to be encouraged to practice because it’s essential in learning. Having this kind of balance is difficult, there’s no right or wrong answer. Was there a period in your life when you didn’t want to practice? I think very few people enjoy practicing, including myself. The most difficult time ... Read More
