Instruments: Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Music Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Not only does this relive the tension that tends to build when you have been intensely concentrating on a new tune but it leads to discovering bits of other songs (or creating your own tunes). 3) When you dont have your instrument in your hands or dont have time to practice, think about the songs you have been working on. My college roommate who was a violinist and the concert master at OCU said he spent as many hours practicing in his head as he did practicing with his hands. 4) Just keep your guitar, mandolin, banjo etc. handy.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Euphonium French Horn

Throughout my music teaching career, I have enjoyed watching students progress on their instruments in both proficiency and their love of playing. I enjoy watching their weekly improvement on both the solo and ensemble level and encourage them to perform often in a variety of settings to build their confidence in public performance whether that be as members of school bands and ensembles or in public recitals showcasing their progress to both parents and friends Read More

Instruments: Guitar Ukulele Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I emphasize the method of divide and conquer; the idea that if we are confronted with a complex problem, then we isolate each difficulty in that complex into a collection of simple problems. We master simple situations on the guitar individually until we are performing complex tasks that were once physically impossible. Ultimately, I think a blend of competence in technique, tone, and interpretation with a comprehensive outlook over specific works, studies, and the instrument itself will foster rapid development in a beginner, define the path of an intermediate, and supplement the advanced player.

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar

I usually teach what style the student wants to learn. I am most proficient in teaching classical, blues, rock, metal, and jazz. I teach out of three diferrent books that have very effective curriculums. I also teach my own methods that have helped me personally become a better guitarist. I teach children and adults and my methods are adaptable to evey student from begginer to advanced. Read More

John L

Instruments: Trombone

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream would actually be to perform my own Trombone and Piano Sonata. In my senior recital at the university that wasn't an option. I was however requested to perform a brass quintet of my own composition, which turned out nicely. One of the pieces I did perform was Eric Ewazen's Sonata for Trombone and Piano. It has slowly worked it's way into becoming an important addition to the trombone literature. At the time however, it was a very new work and was considered very contemporary as many hadn't heard it yet. My senior recital was in the Spring of 2004. It was written in 1998.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
When I went to music school my dream was to receive both an Orchestral Performance degree as well as a Music Composition and Theory degree. I actually ran out of financial aid and had to settle for just the Composition and Theory degree itself, as the Performance degree would've taken me one more year. I graduated with 178 credit hours while financial aid cuts you off at 180 hours. My performing history beyond school is very extensive however, and having the Theory degree has made me able to play in a variety of clefs. It also makes me able to teach Composition and Theory in greater depth.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I don't and can't expect all of my students to practice and do exercises as much as I do. On a typical day I can do daily exercises for one and a half to two and a half hours. I will usually follow that with a good series of different keyed improvisations for anywhere from one to four hours. Beyond that, if there is music I need to go over for an upcoming performance, I can work on that for another two to three hours. It is normal for me to practice and perform a full eight hour work day every day if possible, sometimes more.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use many different resources to choose from. I don't have anything bad to say about any of the method books I've seen and used. I tend to pick and choose sections from different areas to address different things. There are sections that have helped me greatly, some that have helped my other students, and some that I pick for individual students. I even have copies of old out of print exercises from past trombone professors to help build range and help in other areas. They're chosen for and tailored towards each individual student.

Your chances of booking your first show at a 2,000 capacity venue are slim to none unless you’re wrapped up in some sort of pay-to-play scam (watch out for those).

There’s no better way to learn how to write a riff or improvise over a blues chord progression than to memorize pentatonic and blues scales. Scales help students become well-rounded musicians with access to powerful tools and ideas that their scale-less counterparts don’t possess. There’ve been many ... Read More
