Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

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. The duration of each practice session is proportional to the level of the student. Read More

Lauriann C

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Recorder

I began teaching while I was still a student at the Conservatory of Music in the 1990's I was Voice Teacher at the Intermezzo Music School in Guaynabo, PR. I taught all ages from 7 - 69. I stayed there for 7 years. I also gave private singing lessons to students at my own home in Carolina, PR. And then, I proceded to give voice lessons at different churches like the Methodist Church (where I also founded and directed the choir), Evangelical Church (where I gave voice lessons at the Biblical Institute to prospect Worship Leaders).

Stephen C

Instruments: Guitar

I simply love what I do and do what I love when it comes to playing and teaching guitar. As I said before, I approach the student with the method of playing "by ear", so that when they have heard the chord(s), and song(s) a time or two they will have the ability to play them from memory. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Most schools use the Hal Leonard Essential Elements and I tend to focus on this method as supplemental instruction but other methods are fine as well especially if the student is already working through a particular method book. For young students I encourage a mix of formal music instruction with music the student enjoys. Nothing unlocks a love of learning like discovering how your favorite music works! Adult students are welcome to tailor their lessons to their musical goals whether that's learning Bach or Breaking Benjamin! Read More

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My methodology for teaching guitar is based on getting to know the student and their specific goals for the instrument. Are they looking primarily for a way to play along with their favorite songs, or would they like to get more invested in a deeper understanding of the technical side of learning music theory? Finding out their goals can help me shape the lesson plan with each individual student in mind, so that they can experience learning guitar in a way that is both fun and engaging for them. Read More

I am 23 and have been working in music since I was 11 when I started to learn mixing and DJ techniques through the internet. I did this until I was 13 and picked up guitar through my middle school's Mariachi program. I have been playing guitar now for 10 years and have played multiple genres from mariachi, punk, metal, indie, alternative, and I now record and produce music for my bands as well as others.

Cathy B

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Acoustic Guitar

I try to get to know each student a little in the introduction/first lesson. I ask about their music goals and where they would like to be in a few months to a year. We talk about their favorite styles of music and artists. I am so excited to see my students progress and learn a new chord, play a new song well, sing a more challenging song, increase their vocal range, and become excited about their new musical skills!

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.
