Alfredo S

Instruments: Piano Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I first started teaching how to play guitar and giving music lessons when I began to go to college, I used to teach as a part time job while I was studying, when I've graduated I switched from part time to full time, I've worked in several music institutions and I'd also given private classes, nowadays I devote this by doing more private classes in students homes and online, maybe soon I'll have my own studio to teach where I can bring my students into a more comfortable environment with more teaching tools for the learning process.

David N

Instruments: Guitar

David's style has been honed through decades of experience teaching beginner students. Patience and keen obseration skills are critical to being an effective music teacher. David believes teaching a student to become their own impartial witness is the key to success and encourages the use of technology to fascilitate the process. No other teacher provides the student with more access and support in between lessons, including video tutorials, audio samples, PDF files, etc... Read More

Erin W

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

Ive been teaching music lessons in piano, guitar, voice, and ukulele for 9 years. Though I was a vocal performance major in college, I am still proficient at guitar, piano, and ukulele. I love working with students who play multiple instruments or are interested in accompanying themselves while singing. Aside from teaching, I also dabble as a singer songwriter, occasionally playing around Orlando. I graduated from Rollins College with a degree in vocal performance in 2014. Read More

Ronnie Z

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Drums Synthesizer Euphonium Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion

I began taking private lessons shortly after I joined the band program in middle school. I continued to take lessons all throughout high school and college. Shortly after graduating high school I was offered the position of drum instructor. During college I taught for several years as the drum instructor at Winter Haven High School. I also taught private lessons to a wide range of students during this time. Shortly after college I became the band director at McKeel Academy of Technology in Lakeland. Read More

John J

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I make every effort to get the basics down for a student and then to keep things fresh I introduce or ask the aspiring student to start thinking or picking a few songs that they would like to learn within reason of their abilities. Often times its harder to learn without proper practice time or a student's dedicated practice time not being filled to it's potential. I emphasize practice as where the talent comes from. Read More

Reinaldo R

Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Electric Guitar

For younger students I start with showcasing what they can achieve with practice and perseverance. I do that by showing my playing. Then we start with the chromatic scale so the fingers can get use to the strings and moving around the fretboard. Same with drums but we start with easy hits and patterns. For adults I would talk about what are their interest and goal in music (genre, style, job, etc) and go from there. Read More

David M

Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Music Classical Guitar

I started playing back in 1994. Playing with local musicians and bands. I quickly jumped to perform on TV and finally, I enrolled in College. In 2001 I started to teach music in Public schools where I learned my guitar skills and polish my arrangements skills as well. In 2004 I enrolled in college for my Master and along with this, I continued teaching locally. My knowledge with the Music business gave me the opportunity to work with the production side of the arts like Audio, lighting, staging, etc and also with the managing side of the industry like record labels and Awards(Billboard, Premio, etc) Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Robert F

Instruments: Guitar Violin Mandolin Fiddle Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When people started telling me that's what I should do.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I decided by seeing other musicians play and them told me ?"Its not that hard, you just have to DO it (practice occasionally at your leisure)

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Brown Sugar, by the Rolling Stones, because it has such a unique sound (being in G tuning and utilizing special chording and embellishments to the chords), and it is such a rousing song, that it transforms the audience form lackluster to being lively and dancing. Although the original recorded words were offensive, I change those words a bit, so the song is not offensive, as do the Rolling Stones themselves, when they play in concert.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
1. Always keep your instrument HANDY (ex. on a music stand, where you can reach over and pick it up often) - not in a case, and put away. 2. Go slow, and increase speed as is comfortable for you. 3. No need to keep to a strict schedule for prctice. just do it now & then, when it suits you. You'll feel better about it that way, and your prctices will be more like fun than work.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Ordinarily age 10 (although some have done well at younger ages). Kids learn to read and write as early as age 6 or 7, so some kids would be good for starting lessons even that young.

When will I start to see results?
After the very FIRST lesson. (ex. with the guitar, just 3 simple chords will allow you to play literally hundreds of songs and tunes) Same with the mandolin. Even with the violin you could walk away after just 1 hour, already able to play a simple, short tune melody.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was inspired by a guitar player, who was a friend, and who played on stage. I got my first lessons from him.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
No special reason. I play 3 instruments (guitar, violin/fiddle, and mandolin) all in equal amounts. I love all 3, and neither is primary to the other.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Classic rock on the solid body electric guitar (Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, the Cream, Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young) On the violin - popular songs like the Christmas songs Joy to the World, Deck the Halls, Silent Night, Jingle Bells, New Years Eve song (Auld Lang Syne), Summertime, America the Beautiful, You Are My Sunshine, Beethoven's 9th Symphony, Santa Lucia, O Sole Mio, Never on Sunday, etc European fiddle tunes (bordering on classical violin) - I like the melodies, and general tone of the tunes. American fiddle tunes are good too, but they aren't as complex and musical as the European tunes, which are similar to classical music. These tunes were all originally dance music, but they have been modified slightly (jazzed up), to make them more as listening music, and I teach students how to do this themselves, for any tune they may play. I also like Bluegrass mandolin, and rock music on the guitar. I like them all very much. Bluegrass - a combination of Country, Folk, and Jazz.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Being good music listener.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Bowing on the violin/fiddle.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I do have a book that I refer to for my mandolin lessons. It is very instructive, and especially for movable chords.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Best thing is to just pick up the instrument at random times when you feel like it, and play with it. This is fun and becomes very useful practice as well.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Playing the baroque piece, Rights of Man (in E minor) on the violin Also, playing the Rolling Stones song Brown Sugar, in open G tuning, on the guitar (either acoustic or electric)

Play By Ear: A Quick Guide for Beginning Musicians

...We generally group musicians into two categories: those who can read music, and those who play by ear. Like many things in life, this is an idea that over-simplifies things and doesn’t really explain musicians accurately. Strong musicianship happens when a combination of strong listening, music reading, and understanding of musical ideas happen. The popular notion of “you’ve either got it or you don’t” when it comes to the way we think about playing by ear is also wrong. Yes, some people are gifted with stronger senses of pitch and rhythm than others, but everyone can benefit from learning some basic music... Read More

Guitar Scales Chart: Major, Minor, Pentatonic, and Blues

...incredible musicians out there with no formal training as far as memorizing scales go, but the argument to purposely not learn how to play scales doesn’t really hold up when you consider just how much they can do for your musicianship.     Copy And Paste   Unlike instruments like piano, clarinet, or saxophone, guitar players have the advantage of being able to use the same fingers and shapes to play various scales and modes all over the guitar. Think of it this way: When guitar scales don’t use open strings, the sequence of fingers and distances between frets can be ... Read More

2 Chord Songs: Easy Songs for Guitar

...song introduces the E minor chord, which has a much more dissonant and melancholy sound than most of the other chords on this list. That said, the chord is incredibly versatile, and is heavily utilized in classic rock and blues chord progressions. Also, the E minor chord is the most versatile chord with all of the other major ones that you are learning.     “Break On Through” by The Doors (D -Em)   Like “Paperback Writer”, “Break On Through” makes heavy use of the E minor chord. However, in the song it follows a D major rather than a C major chord. If you ... Read More

Testing Room Acoustics for Musicians

...designed with acoustics in mind, as a balanced perception of the performance is necessary to develop and hone a particular sound accurately.   Why Acoustics Are Important   The shape of a room has a dramatic impact on the perceived sound inside that space. If you’ve ever walked through a large, empty stadium or cathedral, you’ve surely heard the reverberation of your own footsteps. In a smaller space, echoing isn’t noticed because the sound doesn’t travel as far. Rather, the sound waves bounce back and forth off walls that are close to each other. When these sound waves overlap and interfere with each ... Read More

Intro to Jazz Bass Technique

...9th fret E at the 12th fret on the E string – octave E at the 9th fret on the G string   See what I mean? Any interval can be played several different ways and there’s usually no more than 5 shapes at most for every interval. Once you learn that shape it is A UNIVERSAL PATTERN meaning that anytime you play that shape you will be playing that interval. And jazz chords are made up of these intervals as well as all scales.   Conclusion   Learning to play jazz will require practice, skill, musical knowledge, and most importantly listening ...

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm.
