Jay H

Instruments: Guitar Harmonica

I believe it's important for beginning guitar players to get a balanced understanding of the guitar, while also taking the time to enjoy the simple milestones. These milestones vary for each student, depending on their personal goals but each stage of the learning curve presents its own unique set of challenges. For many beginners, learning the basic chords and being able to perform their favorite songs is the "ultimate goal" but getting there can lend to serious growing pains... Read More

Hans U

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar

Music is the center of my life, and sharing the knowledge and joy with students is my passion. I have been playing professionally for two decades in a variety of styles, and I hold a Ph.d. in Ethnomusicology from The Ohio State University. I have performed in around the world and recently completed a tour of India. Two of my recent albums were selected for the final 2015 Grammy Ballot. Read More

Samuel C

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My name is Samuel and I am an Ohio born guitarist who emigrated to Los Angeles in 2008 to attend the Guitar Institute of Technology. I have already been playing for years, and studying with GIT teachers such as Jeff Marshall, Daniel Gilbert, Dale Turner and Allen Hinds. At the same time, I performed in jam bands. I also played in the original band, The Moog. My quest to learn more on the instrument, and grow musically is what led me to Hollywood, California's GIT. Read More

Bryon S

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Over my years of teaching I have developed various "games" and "fun" lessons to keep young ones interested while learning important skills. For older students and adults I adapt a teaching style based on what I refer to as the four pillars Pat Martino, Don Mock, Howard Roberts and Ted Greene into a lesson plan to suit the individual. I do not believe that a cookie cutter teaching method could possibly accomplish nearly as much. 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

Bill H

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

In my case, credibility is pretty automatically gained by making sure my students have been to my website and have checked out my professional history. It is also important that an atmosphere of trust is established, wherein the student will enable me the ability to do the job of teaching , understanding that they will get where they want to go faster and more easily by trusting that. To that, I am very sincere about my motives with regard to teaching music. 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.

Teacher In Spotlight

John L

Instruments: Trombone

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream would actually be to perform my own Trombone and Piano Sonata. In my senior recital at the university that wasn't an option. I was however requested to perform a brass quintet of my own composition, which turned out nicely. One of the pieces I did perform was Eric Ewazen's Sonata for Trombone and Piano. It has slowly worked it's way into becoming an important addition to the trombone literature. At the time however, it was a very new work and was considered very contemporary as many hadn't heard it yet. My senior recital was in the Spring of 2004. It was written in 1998.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
When I went to music school my dream was to receive both an Orchestral Performance degree as well as a Music Composition and Theory degree. I actually ran out of financial aid and had to settle for just the Composition and Theory degree itself, as the Performance degree would've taken me one more year. I graduated with 178 credit hours while financial aid cuts you off at 180 hours. My performing history beyond school is very extensive however, and having the Theory degree has made me able to play in a variety of clefs. It also makes me able to teach Composition and Theory in greater depth.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I don't and can't expect all of my students to practice and do exercises as much as I do. On a typical day I can do daily exercises for one and a half to two and a half hours. I will usually follow that with a good series of different keyed improvisations for anywhere from one to four hours. Beyond that, if there is music I need to go over for an upcoming performance, I can work on that for another two to three hours. It is normal for me to practice and perform a full eight hour work day every day if possible, sometimes more.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use many different resources to choose from. I don't have anything bad to say about any of the method books I've seen and used. I tend to pick and choose sections from different areas to address different things. There are sections that have helped me greatly, some that have helped my other students, and some that I pick for individual students. I even have copies of old out of print exercises from past trombone professors to help build range and help in other areas. They're chosen for and tailored towards each individual student.

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
