Instruments: Piano Guitar

For beginning to intermediate guitar players, I would suggest learning some of the fundamentals and basics from Hal Leonard's Guitar Method Complete Edition - Books 1 2 and 3 (bound together in one volume). As the student develops a better understanding of music and a better ability to play it, I would then work on finding them a piece of music that challenges their knowledge and technique, yet also a piece of music that they would want to play, and that they would be passionate about learning.

Instruments: Guitar Ukulele Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, and have been consistently teaching students ant homes and in my home studio in Antioch for the past 3 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

I assess what the student's current strengths, weaknesses, and needs are. Every student will have a different approach in the lessons as everyone has different taste in music and different learning styles. I cater to the student's interests to make the lessons easy and interesting while making sure that the student is aware of the reason that they are understanding how the topic they are currently learning blends and builds into their overall playing and musicianship.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Conga Electric Guitar Djembe Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I am a passionate, motivated, and an experienced music instructor. I have been playing guitar and other various instruments since I was 11 - I'm currently in my mid thirties. I graduated in 2014 with an Associates degree in music from Sierra Community College, where my main focus was guitar and composition. Soon after, I transferred into Sacramento State's guitar program where I gained extensive knowledge of guitar scales, chords, and applicable techniques that make every day playing more enjoyable and professional.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Trumpet Fiddle French Horn Electric Guitar

While in high school and college, I mostly tutored other students in history, chemistry, and math. However I worked as a private instructor for students learning violin and guitar for much of 2017. I was trained classically in violin in the Suzuki method, took rock/folk-based instruction in guitar, and learned brass and percussion through my high school marching band, which also doubled as a concert ensemble for half of the school year.

Teacher In Spotlight

Will E

Instruments: Drums

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes. Dad is a guitar player, sister sings & plays the flute. We've all been involved in musical theater, often together.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Of course there was a calling all along, but it was the realization that I could make money from playing. It's something that I love doing and sharing, but at the end of the day- there's nothing unartistic about making money! Who wouldn't want to make a living doing what they love?!

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had three fantastic teachers growing up, each of them led me down a creative and passionate path and were fantastic role models to look up to. It's important to have a mentor!

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Music was a big part of my life since I was a wee lad- earliest memories involve my dad (a guitar player himself) playing me Abbey Road by the Beatles and Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & the Dominoes. After seeing footage of Ringo, that was it!

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
In no particular order: -being a paid musician since 14 -graduating from music school in 2007 -the ability to establish oneself and find work in music after a move (SE Michigan, Los Angeles, Austin, greater NY area, etc) And for something much more specific: I recall filling in for a top 40 band in Santa Monica, CA. At our set break, one of the band members came up to me to exclaim at how much the crowd was dancing, and that they never would dance with their regular drummer. Getting people up and dancing? That's what it's all about!

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Discipline and restraint!

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Hitting pots and pans? Singing along to music? Is in need of a creative outlet? Really, it's all of the above! If there's any interest in the arts at all, we should be fostering that!

When will I start to see results?
Depends on the student and their interests/work ethic. Important to remember that everybody learns and processes information differently, and music is in no way a competition so comparisons to other musicians/students are unwarranted.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice does not equal perfection! If you're lucky, practice will make you better than you were before, and the most efficient method is simply pick a few specific things to work on and make a 'practice session road map'. Practicing a few things for a shorter amount of time will allow for more focus and intent instead pushing oneself in no direction for hours on end. It's also important to document what was practiced, what progress was made, and what to focus on for the next session.

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.
