I have been teaching guitar and piano to many different students. I love to teach and I think that it is one of the most wonderful things in life. I have been playing in shows since 1999, performing styles from classical music to blues, jazz and rock. I love to play and record live. Read More

Apart from treating time as the precious resource it is (meaning I will give your time the utmost respect and expect the same from you) . . . my style is friendly, patient, and "open" to an extreme. If you have particular goals, communicate them to me, and I will teach you everything relevant to them. If you don't, I will help you identify your goals. If you want to remain "goal-free" (for example, because you used to have some forceful teacher, punishing you for your "lack of dedication" or the like), I have a blast simply looking into facets of music with a curious student.

Instruments: Guitar

My teaching style very catered to the experience of the person learning the instrument. I think it's very important that the lessons move at the pace of which the student appears to be learning. The style of music the student wants to learn is rarely steered away from, I feel that too many teachers force students to learn songs outside their preferred genre just because the song is well known.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My joy for teaching came simply from teaching friends and family how to play, and quickly seeing them grow and discover themselves as a musician. My musical style began with rock n roll, and has adopted a little bit of everything over the years, from jazz to folk and electronic, and everything in between. I learned music by ear, and when I got to a point where I felt I had my own style, I learned music theory to fill in the gaps and become more well rounded. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I got my start when I was six and picked up the guitar. From there I played in various local bands and wound up at the renowned Florida State University where I studied classical guitar. While there I expanded my knowledge of theory, practice approach, and audio production. In 2016 I had the opportunity to perform with George Clinton in an Old Time Ensemble through Florida State. After graduation I moved to Los Angeles where I cut my teeth in the audio engineering world and learned from the best about production and performance. Read More

Through Instagram, I have been able to find opportunities to teach and help other talented musicians throughout the world. I have learned that combining simple music theory and basic guitar methods for students of beginner levels can really help them skyrocket with their musical ambitions! I know it has helped me a lot, and everyone else I have ever worked with or taught. I love playing music and helping others with it so much because I know that not only will it make the student better, but it also tends to teach me a ton of new things too! 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. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
