Benjamin F

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Keyboard Electric Guitar

I generally like to start my beginning students with lesson plans from the book" The Secrets of playing Piano by Ear" by Jermaine Griggs. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. I try to focus on what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lesson fresh and FUN! Read More

Clarence G

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Keyboard

I took guitar lessons, bass lessons, as well as piano lessons when I was a kid. I also interned at music studios and sat in on live audio gigs to learn that aspect as well. I have been playing for artists/bands live and in the studio (primarily on bass guitar) for almost 15 years now. From country, gospel, blues, to classic rock. Most of my experience teaching is with small children. Read More

James A

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I love working with other artist and growing professionally. One of the great things about guitar is that their is always a new chord to learn. I have played gigs all over Kansas City, and at many Churches in the area. I have found some of the most humble, genuine people who just blow your mind on stage. I'm thankful for those people in my life, and look forward to helping others as I have been helped. Read More

Bonnie C

Instruments: Guitar Banjo Ukulele Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I teach out of several methods, depending on the desires and needs of each individual student. I do make sure all students have a basic understanding of note reading, rhythm, chord building, right hand techniques and various styles. We learn to strum, play arpeggios and improvise...everything the student needs to feel comfortable playing and performing. I encourage participation in recitals and make times available on a monthly basis for students to explore performance in a non-competitive, encouraging atmosphere. Read More

Taylor S

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

The most effective teacher is a friend. As a friend, I can use the most effective teaching techniques to help them progress. Every student is different in their pace, goals, and passions. I love learning my student's musical dreams and fighting with them to accomplish them! Setting realistic goals to both encourage and challenge a student is a core to my teaching. Without those goals, learning to play an instrument remains an overwhelming task! Read More

Ryan S

Instruments: Piano Guitar Cello Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Mandolin Double Bass Music Keyboard Djembe

Throughout the 8 12 years that I have been teaching I have been learning a lot about many different methods and teaching styles. I always had thought that what I was being taught could have been taught in a more natural and more efficient way. I have borrowed many of my ideas from some of the greatest teachers in history and believe the most in the bel canto method created but David Jacobsen who is an alumni of the Curtis Institute of Music, the greatest school of music in the world.

Ruben M

Instruments: Guitar

Beginning as a self-taught guitarist has made me aware of some of the pitfalls misinformation, misconceptions that exist in learning guitar. Im also well practiced at correcting improper technique having to do it myself numerous times as I became more educated. I like to imagine myself going back in time to when I was younger and teaching a young me from scratch, and try and imagine exactally what I would teach and what happits I would make myself develop in an imaginary effor to make myself a better guitarist now.

Blank Space Chords for Beginner Guitar (Taylor Swift)

...for surprising players and derailing a song’s performance). This tune has a Bridge; however, you simply need to remember to drop out or perform a muted-strum pattern over a D chord.         Wrap-up   I hope that you’ve enjoy learning the Blank Space chords. This is a fun tune that is popular among female audience members—and, a great go-to song.

Jazz Scales: The Blues Scale

...jazz, you’ll figure out which musicians use the blues scale more than others, what periods it was more popular during, etc. For example, Stanley Turrentine was a saxophone player who used the blues scale liberally. Take a listen to some of his music.   I should mention that sometimes people talk about multiple blues scales (i.e. major and minor). The one I wrote about here is the most common blues scale, and to some people the only blues scale. I just wanted to mention this, just in case you ever run into anyone talking about multiple blues scales. But this should be more than ... Read More

Testing Room Acoustics for Musicians

...It may sound like a difficult situation to control, however there are a number of identifiable factors that influence this.   Most notably, the shape of a room will determine how the sound waves bounce. Symmetrical rooms notoriously have poor acoustics. Rooms which are a perfect square or rectangle allow sound to reflect off walls and remain on a continuous path. This leads to the accumulation of certain frequencies in certain areas. An asymmetrical room will allow sound to bounce all over the place without building up.   The materials of the room will determine how easy it is for the sound waves ... Read More

Reading Music for Beginners: Rhythm and The Staff

...from the sheet of music.   Say and Play In my college Intro to Psychology class, there was a helpful section about the learning process. It delved into human behaviors centered around learning, and it taught us how to better prepare for tests. Something I learned in this class is that doing one act in different ways helps the brain to retain information. This is why talking notes rather than just listening helps us to memorize information. I recommend saying each note out loud as you play when learning a new piece of music. When you see a note, play it, ... 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.
