Ian M

Instruments: Guitar

I have been teaching music for two years professionally, and much longer than that informally. I played regularly and professionally at venues in Columbia, MO, such as the Bridge and The Vault. I studied trumpet in my high-school band and learned to read music, progressing on my own thereafter into more complex theory and harmony, as well as composition. I have been in several ensembles and have performed as a solo artist on many occasions as well. Read More

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

When I first started teaching in college I used standardized materials and found it was helpful but inadequate to teach everything my students needed. So I began to explore other curriculum and attend the NAMM conventions and talk with other instructors. I saw there was a need for more expanded materials and started writing my own. I now have two complete text books with copyrights along with practice recordings that I make available to my students. Read More

Eric T

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer

The learning never stops. That is the beauty. It excites me every day that I wake up to know that I am going to learn something new today and add to my musical ability. No matter whether its a crazy jazz chord or a new scale or an idea for a new song, I have a foundation that all musical concepts connect to. I want to make others as excited as I am about music.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Organ Ukulele Recorder Keyboard Djembe

Most of my music career has focused on accompaniment and performance - but teaching is my favorite, because it gives me the opportunity to help another succeed. Music is at the core of each of us, and it's so crucial to find success in developing that part of us. I focus on student success, no matter what that looks like. My students will be encouraged to enter competitions, recitals, and composition. Read More

I prefer an individualized, tailored teaching method. Your passion and interest should inspire your learning. I see my job as then taking that passion and working to grow and develop it through specifically designed lessons and practice routines, personalized to you as the student. I strongly believe the most important aspect of learning is fostering a love for your instrument. Utilizing my strong background in theory and performance, I focus on various elements of instrumentation and technique combined with a foundation in theory to produce well-rounded, capable musicians.

Riley V

Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Harmonica Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I began playing guitar when I was 15, and it became an immediate obsession. Starting with rock and roll with bands like Nirvana and Sublime, I garnered a deep love for classic rock, specifically the bands Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and the Doors among many others. Early on, it became apparent that I wanted to pursue a career in music, and while still in high school, I began learning classical guitar, and jazz. Read More

Sky L

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Flute Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Mandolin Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I began helping my friends work through their music when I was 19 at Missouri Western State University, and eventually cultivated a bustling studio of students through word of mouth. I now teach full time in Zoom and in person with house visits, or at my home studio. My students regularly perform very well at state competitions, form bands of their own, and have found great cause in writing their own music outside of academia. Read More

Types of Effects Pedals for Guitar

Now that you’re up to speed on what effects pedals are and where they came from, let’s chat a bit about what each pedal does.   Distortion No effects pedal has influenced modern music more than the distortion pedal. Entire genres of music including metal, punk, and grunge rely entirely on the massive, unyielding sound of the distortion pedal.

...due to its sophisticated approach to form, melody, and rhythm.       Form   A song’s form has a huge impact on how it will sound because it dictates how and what musical ideas are presented. Popular songs almost always feature verses that grow into larger, more expansive choruses, but there are plenty of options for adding other sections like intros, interludes, bridges, tags, and endings. Intros are great devices for introducing instrumentation, melodies, and the general tone of a song. In many cases, the intro of a song will feature the same chord structure as the song’s verse or chorus, but that ... Read More

Stamped on the face of a coin from the Syrian town of Caesarea, the flute shown is even a transverse flute. Etruria Though in general Etruria was less developed than the rest of the Ancient World, it’s actually where one of our clearest and earliest depictions of the flute comes from.
