My teaching experience spans 6 years. I've taught all ages, so I'm comfortable with everybodys learning pace.

My experience working in ensembles will also expand my students ability to play in groups of all sizes (which will often happen). Read More

Steve C

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.

Dennis F

Instruments: Guitar Cello Bass Guitar Double Bass

I started my teaching carreer in 1994, teaching doublebass and bass guitar. Two years later I began offering guitar lessons. In 1998 I offered cello lessons. My passion for teaching has grown over the years, and brought me great pleasure helping beginner students gain skills, confidence, and a sense of pride and accomplishment in learning to successfully play a musical instrument. I been able to teac advanced bass students techniques that increased their playing skills and understanding of their instrument and music in general. My greatest pleasure was helping a young, nervous, shy, and self conscious young boy, and over time, with his efforts and my guidance, was able to apply and get accepted into music college.

Teacher In Spotlight

Thomas D

Instruments: Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would write. I love to tell stories - which is what writing songs is for me. I find people and experiences to be so interesting. I'm inspired by ideas. By how people think. Language, like music, can be beautiful and graceful. I'm inspired by how a great author can turn phrases. Like writing songs, I'm moved to create things that don't already exist. Writing a story is like sitting with the guitar and writing a new song. Beginning with an idea, a sound, a character - then developing that sound or character into a story. Both writing books and songs is an attempt to explain the human condition. To connect emotionally.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I don't have a dream piece to perform. I write my own music and get the most satisfaction performing my own songs. As a child, there was certainly music I wanted to perform. Anything by The Beatles or Jimi Hendrix. In college, there were a variety of classical pieces that I wanted to perform. One of my favorite pieces to perform on guitar is "Asturias (Leyenda)" a work by the Spanish composer and pianist Isaac Albéniz. Originally a piano piece, it has become popular on the guitar. I'm most excited to write and record my music. Performing those songs live is the height of music, for me.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from Lindenwood University with emphasis in Classical Guitar Performance. It's a Liberal Arts degree - I also studied literature, history, science, math, etc. I chose the classical music program because I wanted to learn more about Music History. I also wanted to learn advanced Music Theory. I wanted a program that was diversified outside my major. For example, I learned about the Renaissance period in Music History while also learning what was going on in the world outside of music and art in my World History class.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I spend most of my time writing, recording and performing live. But I do take time to study. I have a playlist on Spotify with a list of songs or pieces of music I want to learn. I also have a large collection of classical scores that I work on regularly. When I learn a song, I listen to all the instruments. I won't solely focus on the guitar. I will learn the vocal (lyrics and melody), I'll study the what the rhythm section is doing. I'll study the production. I want to learn everything about the song.
