Instruments: Guitar Ukulele Music Electric Guitar Classical 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.Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music!

Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience began 2 years ago when I started teaching a few neighborhood kids that my family knew. By word of mouth I gained 3 more but then I moved to Santa Cruz so I could attend Cabrillo College. These were private lessons all in the homes of the students. But now that I have my own studio, I have been inviting students over to study in my studio. I have been playing guitar for 10 years beginning with professional lessons, electric bass for 7, and drums for 5. Read More

My teaching styles revolves around the student and his/her needs. But above all, I love to see the joy of music speak through the students own earned skill through hard work. Achieving goals, and succeeding is the platform for building confidence and gaining great joy from the learning and playing of music. All students will be required to learn scales, etudes, solos, and other repertoire to bolster his/her musical goals abilities; but beyond that, I open to what the student wants learn, and what he/she is able to bring to the table.

Instruments: Guitar

For young beginners, I usually start with basic theory notions taken from the Lizard Academy books, combined with some exercises on the guitar. Once comfortable, I start to introduce some notions about improvisation and soloing, as well as increase the difficulty of the exercises I want them to practice on. For young adults or adults, I like to take my students in the direction they want to go, besides teaching them something slightly different just to enrich their background. Read More

Jonathan H

Instruments: Piano Guitar Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style is one of deep listening to the student in their musical process, and from this creating the conditions for them to expand into new dimensions of musicality. I am an expert in creative process, and love working with students especially on songwriting, composition, electronic music production, and other such creative domains. In addition, my professional work is focused on a leading edge of musical education that is just emerging and beginning to be understood: developing the listening faculty as a pathway to musical excellence; for as the perceptual foci is polished, so does the sensori-motor engagement discover new possibilities.

Instruments: Guitar Voice Ukulele Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style flows from my teaching philosophy: Whole-heatedly meet a student where they are, and THEN, respectfully lead them to where you as the educator know that they need to go...Establishing a true RELATIONSHIP with a student, where they know that you have THEIR best interests in mind is absolutely fundamental. As in any relationship, trust and respect are essential, and establishing a firm foundation in those areas should be just as important as the academic and skill development aspects of teaching.

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I was naturally drawn to the guitar since I grew up with my Dad playing guitar and listening to good old rock and blues records. The guitar tones just drew me in like a magnet. There is something deeply therapeutic about the sound of a nicely over driven guitar/ amplifier. And the range of tones, from clean/ acoustic to hard-crunching power chords creates a world of opportunities for musical expression. The guitar is one of the most versatile instruments. It captivated me from the very beginning. I struggled with ADHD as a child and adult, and often found guitar to be the one thing that I could truly keep my focus on... Talk about therapeutic..!?

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing may be getting started and making good notes and chords for the first time. There will be pain in the finger tips, mental fatigue and self-doubt... The student must have the mental strength to overcome such obstacles. And the desire must come from within. It is always difficult to master skills, if the lesson presented is too far ahead of the students abilities. For example, mastering movable bar chords can be very difficult for beginners. But with practice, over time, proper hand-positioning and strength will develop and each time you practice something it sounds a little better and becomes easier to play.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
There are many ways to have a productive practice session. Generally, the student should gather his/her lesson materials, pick-up the guitar, tune the guitar, and ensure proper posture and positioning, to get started. Also, this should done in a quiet area, free of distractions, just like when they study schoolwork or homework. I often stress the importance of remembering and re-practicing older lesson materials, so as to not forget the material but continuously add to your knowledge base while retaining all that you have learned. Playing songs is also a good means of practice. If the academic side is thought to be boring and painful, students can benefit from learning and playing their favorite songs. The repetition will help with chords and rhythm and they will be putting in the work to improve without even realizing it as work, because it is fun. The goal is to inspire them to want to play and learn. For some students this may be the best way.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I suppose my Father inspired me to play by having guitars and playing while I was growing up. I saw how much fun and enjoyment he had when playing music alone or with friends. I began taking guitar class in Junior High School and playing along with my Dad and his friends. I think it was the challenge of mastering guitar itself that inspired me to keep working and learning. I didn't even think about it. It seems I was naturally drawn to it. I had the determination to learn what to do and then practice it until it sounded good. I also learned that playing songs over and over for fun is also good practice. The repetition will help you master chord fingering, chord changes, and rhythm patterns. Studying the composition of a song will give you insights to what chords sound good together and what kind of dynamics can be used over the course of a song. With a general understanding of the basics, you can take what you've learned and begin to create your own sounds. The sky is the limit for musical creativity and that's what truly inspires me.

3 Chord Songs for Guitar

...song about what it feels like to be madly in love. The “Ring of Fire” symbolizes what it feels like to be in the throes of passion, not pain and suffering.   The main difference between Johnny Cash and Anita Carter’s version of this song is the addition of a horn section. It was Cash’s idea to add a “Mexican” trumpet accompaniment to the song, and “Ring of Fire” wouldn’t be the same without it. This is one of the great 3 chord songs to learn if you’re trying to master simple chord transitions on the piano or guitar:        ... Read More

I have binders of musical concept plans, yearly plans that encompass the scope and sequence of those concepts within each year, and then a long-range plan showing what a student who begins my program in kindergarten and leaves in fifth grade will have accomplished. Then, within the context of each of those plans are countless lessons, songs, games, and assessments to collect data.   Students who begin a music program in kindergarten and go through their final year of schooling with this type of planning are incredibly prepared.

...of your mouth by lifting your soft palate at the back of your mouth inside (not the front of your mouth) and releasing the back of your throat, to take a new breath. Breathe in and start the whole process again. *Notice how most of these steps revolve around the act of breathing, and not around the actual singing? The idea is that when your breath is natural, steady, and even, your vibrato will be too. Vibrato is not something that should be forced out. If it doesn’t feel easy to you yet- don’t worry, it takes time. At your next voice lesson, talk to your teacher about ways to practice vibrato as a part of your daily vocal exercises! ... Read More
