Joshua K

Instruments: Piano Guitar Cello

I absolutely love teaching and love to help musicians reach their goals! I have had the privilege of teaching students over this past year and my love for teaching has grown so much that I want to teach more! I have had the privilege of playing in Florida's premier youth orchestras and even got the chance to play for the Baltimore Symphony! I have also had the privilege of recording several projects for solo artists and bands. Read More

John J

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

The main points I always try bring home is playing a musical instrument is a committment but it doesn't mean its not fun. It should be. I try to get a beginning student to the intermediate one, up and running at playing some of their favorite songs (within reason of ability) quickly so as to keep things moving forward and keep the experience fresh. Over the years I've evolved and developed my own style of teaching that fits the aspiring student's needs. Read More

Miles N

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Lap Steel Guitar Banjo Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience started early on as a recognized multi instrumentalist even by my friends , I was able to teach them and put musical groups together or join existing ones. Playing various instruments in several different bands at the same time was a challenge but lots of fun, and has continued as of recently. I have played throughout the US and parts of Europe, while also teaching. I studied jazz guitar with Vik Juris and Berklee graduate Dave Rubin. Read More

Matt B

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

David N

Instruments: Guitar

David does not use a "cookie-cutter" method because each and every student has different innate abilities as well as different musical goals. A teaching method must consider the student's time outside of his or her lesson to be effective. David listens to each student with great care to devise a plan which promotes musicality through inspiration. Conveying large amounts of information, even of the highest quality, is of little value if the student is not motivated to use what he or she has learned to create music. Read More

Damien S

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Banjo Ukulele

Every student starts or resumes classes at different levels. My job is to recognize that level and proceed accordingly. I like my students to be able to learn and progress at the rate they can or want to. Letting students let you know what they want to learn and at what pace, helps the student as well as the teacher in that progress. I like to tell my students that they will not only be a good player, but know exactly what they are doing. 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.

Ok

Are you sure that's your only availability? The more availability you easier it will be to arrange a teacher for you.
