Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard

I usually start all of my piano students from the Alfred series. Those that are more advanced will complete the curriculum quicker.. Alfred seems to offer a more detailed instruction technique. It offers step by step instructions. The student can almost teach himself. For guitar I use the Everyday guitar method. This method introduces each string at a time. By the end of the book, you will be playing songs on each string. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar

My teaching style stems from my philosophy that music is a language. So my approach is focused on using the skills and knowledge while "speaking", or playing, with other musicians. That is why my approach is focused on jamming. After the student can understand how to make the instrument sound, I immediately give them the oppertunity to put their skills into practice. I will take time from each lesson to just jam with the student and allow them to explore the instrument. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I am very easy teacher to learn from. I understand that every student is different, and learns at his or her own pace. I will move you along as fast or slow as you like, depending on how much information you are retaining. We will be doing a lot of memorization work, and written music theory, while you develop the necessary hand strength to play the guitar properly. So, with plenty of time, patience, and above all, PRACTICE, you will be well on your way to playing your favorite songs, and TEACHING YOURSELF new songs. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Cello Bass Guitar Double Bass

No matter which instrument I give lessons on, my overall goal and desire is that the student first, has FUN, second, sees themselves progressing on their instrument, and thirdly, get to experience the joy, satisfaction and confidence one gains in playing the songs they enjoy themselves. To see smiles appear on faces of students, and hear how excited they were the first time they played a popular song they know and love well in front of some else. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

I think music making is the most appealing part of learning to play a new instrument. This is why I try to make every new concept Iteach as appealing and as fun as possible. For example, if in day one I am teaching two notes, I like to have as much fun with those two notes by making a song or a game out of them. In this way my students are able to engage in music and have fun while they are learning. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Eddie C

Instruments: Bass Guitar Electric Guitar

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
In my opinion it is finding your individual tone and comfortable techniques. Playing the bass guitar can be very painful! Especially in the beginning stages. Also knowing when to play and when not to play. I also believe that it’s hard to master the fact that the bass guitar may not be the highlight of the band. It may be a non glorified position and a bass player has to be comfortable with that. Like I pointed out earlier the bass guitar is the foundation of the sound. It may be very repetitive in what one plays and it’s hard to master the groove

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
No not that I know of personally but I do know that I’ve inspired many children and grownups to find the music inside of them. I’ve inspired many to purchase an instrument and join a band no matter how good or bad they may be at playing it. I’ve inspired elderly people to get up and dance at private functions at assisted living facilities and nursing homes! I’ve inspired the youth to never give up the dream of being a musician no matter how long it takes. I’m a firm believer that there is no time line to success

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the bass guitar because it is the glue between the melody and the rhythm in contemporary modern music. It’s a very important element in most bands. The bass guitar is still a new instrument that was invented. I love the deep rumble of a bass guitar and also the cutting tone of its mid and high range. The bass guitar can also be a solo instrument. There are many techniques to getting a great sound from a bass guitar. There are bass guitars that have over 10 strings and some with only one!

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I proud that I am credited as a professional musician on big time record labels with artists and producers on Interscope. As a child I would read the CD inserts to see who was playing the guitars, drums, bass, and all other instruments. Music was so good to listen to and I would always say that I wanted my name to be inside a professional CD one day and it happened more than once! I’m also proud to be s professional composer for films and documentaries. I’m also elated that I have been able to do professional theatre work as a musician!

...chord progression. Don’t expect to pull an incredible melody out of thin air right away. Give yourself plenty of unrushed time to experiment with your voice. Again, this advice is meant for you even if you can’t sing. The main idea here is to bring whatever melody, rhythm or lyric out into the open by way of your own voice. Have a recording device handy, and try developing any sort of musical idea you like while listening back. This method is meant to capture the urgency of a moment, and there’s no better tool to do that than the human voice.... Read More

Typically digital compressors offer a visualizer which allows you to see when a performance goes over the threshold. Listening to the track while watching the visualizer will allow you to find the moments when a track is too loud, and adjust the threshold to the appropriate point.       General rules for compression include: Use on vocals to bring out subtleties of voice Use on snare drums to accentuate the crack Do not use on ...

...in a circle? That is really tricky. Not only are students learning about self-space and shared-space, they have to think about what direction to move in, which is the opposite of those directly across the circle. Add to that the singing (of those three fundamental pitches we highlighted earlier), walking to a steady beat with the correct spacing so they don’t run into anyone, and hearing the final motive and home note when it’s time to “all fall down.” That’s a lot of stuff in a little nursery rhyme! The moral of the story: even if students are “unsuccessful” during ... Read More

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.
