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

For all students that are beginners, I will start off by teaching them the important things about the guitar such as the names of the strings, how the guitar works, and how to properly tune. We will go over basic theory at first and then start learning some simple melodies and chord progressions. For students that are more intermediate and want to learn a style of music, I will break down the basic elements of what the guitar incorporates into that style of music. Read More

In order to fully develop control, musicality and understanding of the music language, it is important to focus on several aspects of music including music theory (scale and harmonic structure/function and rhythm) ear-training, reading and performance skills. Expectations of Students Like any aspect of life, consistency and patience are two very important qualities to posses when working towards a goal.

Instruments: Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Lap Steel Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Conga Latin Percussion Music Electric Guitar Djembe Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My main goal and teaching is to inspire self motivation and make it fun! I like to pick songs that are fun to play and challenging at the same time depending on what level you are at that time. By doing this I think keeping the instrument out and not in the closet is a good start that way if the inspiration hits you and you want to play it is within your reach "guitar stand and wall hangers are ideal" and not in the case the put away " Out of sight out of mind" I suggest buying a music stand for your instruments and or wall hangers which seem to work very well as a display and also so the instrument is within your reach.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style is just like most I think. I don't rush with the students. Always trying to go slow and make sure the students understands everything. I've gotten pretty good at figuring out when the students get what I'm trying to teach. If I feel like I'm going to fast I'll stop think about what I'm doing and slow down. It's easy to talk to fast and rush as a teacher because I've taught so many students. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Jillian W

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes! My mother is the most musical of them all. Her mother played saxophone, banjo, and piano. My mother plays piano and taught it to my siblings and I when we were younger. They went on to learn some different instruments while I stuck with piano and then more. My father also played trumpet!

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
That's a great question! I decided to start teaching full time after I realized that I simply adore teaching and having a life filled with creating, teaching, listening to and producing music.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Folk, Indie, and Classical. I enjoy the predictable but beautiful nature of classical music, while I also enjoy the unpredictable and fun elements in folk and indie.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I thought, "How cool would it be to play guitar?" and I wanted to be able to play it in the worship team at my church. At 15, I picked up the guitar and the rest is history! Then I learned ukulele because it's such a happy and fun instrument. I started singing more and joined choir, and then I picked up the bass!

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I believe if I wasn't a musician I would be a nutritionist or lawyer instead! Those two seem pretty distant from each other. I am passionate about finding the truth and also about health.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I actually really enjoy conducting and would love to conduct Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses. The music in The Legend of Zelda is just so beautiful and you can get so easily immersed in it!

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor's of Science in Music Business due to my interest in music production. I went on to pursue a Master's in Music Theory because i couldn't get enough of how Music works and why! I wanted to understand it more and chose this field because I also want to teach theory.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Some of my students have gotten callbacks for auditions for a musical and gotten the part they wanted. Others have recieved small trophies based on passing a musical test.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Playing with both hands at different speeds! You just have to remember to take it one step at a time and it will come gradually get easier. :)

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Keith Snell Faber Piano Adventures Hal Leonard I am most familiar with these methods. The main reason I choose piano adventures is because they have multiple books that go along with what you learn in the lesson, which helps with repetition and completely explaining a concept!

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
First, I play through multiple scales, chord progressions, and arpeggios. I make sure they are all the same speed and if I have some mistakes, I slow it down and clean it up. Then I observe my piece of music. If I have a general understanding of the piece, I play through it all together and then go over the problem spots slowly and hands together! That's how I handle practicing piano.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My albums on Spotify and my compositions for brass quintet, string trio, and string quintet plus woodwinds! I'm also very proud of some of my other compositions.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
For younger students, practice 15 minutes at a time. Make this time dedicated and very intentional. You can achieve a lot more in 15 minutes of focused work than 30 minutes of distracted work. For 12 and up, I recommend practicing for about 30 minutes and taking small breaks to play whatever you would like..

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
It definitely depends on the instrument! See how well they do with their attention span. Staying focused for 30 minutes can be difficult even for us adults! If the student is under 5 I do not recommend lessons just yet. They also need their fingers to be a bit more developed so they can control their fine motor skills on these instruments.

When will I start to see results?
This all depends on how much the student practices and their aptitude. It does come down to the teacher, but practicing and progressing is both the teacher's responsibility and the student's/parent's.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Piano is a fantastic base instrument. You can learn the concepts of music on an instrument where you can see the keys, as well as learn concepts that are much easier to teach using the piano. My mother taught me at a very young age. I gave up piano around 6 years old and took lessons again when I was 12. I fell in love with how beautiful it sounded.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Music in general inspired me. I couldn't imagine a life without it And because it was so impactful to me, I wanted to share that joy with others!

Piano Styles

...melodies written with a technique called counterpoint largely define the baroque piano style of playing. Musicians were just becoming privy to the dynamic power of the piano, so the baroque style of playing is incredibly intricate but not big on feeling or emotion. The harmonic minor scale was often used in the baroque era.   The romantic piano style is one that emphasizes emotion and feeling. A stark contrast to earlier styles, the romantic style of piano playing gives the pianist a new role with increased control over the dynamics, rhythm and feeling of a piece. Composers and pianists in the romantic area were... Read More

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what you do to write as long as you do something. Scribble down some lyrics. Create a chord progression and hum over it.

When you become a more advanced player, you can decide if they work well for you, but for now, it’s probably best to use the main two fingerings.       Side Keys (Side C and Side F#/Gb): In addition to the side Bb/A# key, there are also side keys for C and F#/Gb. The side C key isn’t the most resonant or in tune. It doesn’t sound nearly as good as the main C fingering, but definitely has a purpose.
