Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele

I have been playing music in many kinds of bands and ensembles since the early 1980's. In the late 80's and early 90's I was the drummer for the Seattle grunge band, "Violet Grey." After moving to Portland to go to college I played in the Concordia University String Ensemble and a number of rock bands, including, "Apostolic Tackle-Box," "Andy's Dandies," and "the Quick." I played in the folk duo, "Agile Grapefruit," and I have led praise bands at a number of local churches. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I began teaching classical guitar while earning my Bachelor's of Music degree at Western Washington University from 2003 to 2007. My focus was on performance and music instruction, so it seemed the next step for me was to pursue a career in music education. After college, I started with a small client base, which has steadily increased over the years. I provide music lessons & instruction, performing arts education, and tutoring. My students can expect to be instructed in music reading, learning interpretative styles, fretboard theory and guitar technique.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Ukulele Electric Violin Fiddle Acoustic Guitar

I have received professional education at The Sibelius Academy for teaching private music lessons. I like to teach students as individuals and create a practice program for them according to their personal goals. I am supportive and patient and want to help each student to find their own highest potential. I welcome all ages and levels to my instrument lessons. I think that both the process of learning and the end goal are important. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar

I am a passionate and driven teacher whose focus is always on my students' musical goals and development. I focus on roots American styles: the blues, early rock, bluegrass, country, folk, and jazz. I graduated with a degree in Guitar Performance from Lewis Clark College, where I studied performance under renowned Portlandguitarist Dan Balmer and music theory under Portland pianist Susan Smith. Authentic and time-honored musical styles are my emphasis and serve as the foundations upon which my performances and lessons are based. Read More

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

I like the aphorism by British guitarist and educator Robert Fripp "We begin where we are". It means to me that at any given point we are all beginners. So if we come with an open mind to explore and learn something new, perhaps what it could be challenging might become easier if we apply the right mind set. So if we are learning a scale...perhaps we begin with a note at the time, then add a second and third, so on, until we have all eight notes or sixteen. - Slow down: If you want to play fast you gotta be able to play it slowly with accuracy and precision.

Not only do I teach students how to play or create music, but also how to successfully set goals and achieve them. Every musician should have a goal in mind when practicing. Learning how to manage that goal can be tricky. I like to work together with students to take their goals and break them down smaller into more manageable pieces for them to master. This means that every student's schedule is customized to their learning. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele

Patience, as well as my depth of experience, are characteristics of my teaching style. I'm as happy as the student is when he or she achieves an understanding of a musical concept or mastery of a physical technique on the instrument. The achievement will reinforce more effort toward the next step, but it must be "relaxed" effort. "Slowly but surely" is my motto as the challenges become greater and the success sweeter. Read More

Violins for Beginners: To Rent or to Buy?

...the perfect fit, because it’s almost as big as a full size, and has all the amenities of the full-sized instrument. On the other hand, if a violinist is 6’ 5” tall, he would be terribly cramped by a 7/8 size violin, so he needs something a little longer and wider. A large full-sized instrument would be perfect for him. Violins for beginners need to be the correct size so that the musician learns to have good posture. If a new violinist is saddled with something too heavy, she may develop a drooping stance, or will constantly be supporting the violin with her... Read More

...handle long sessions – so do something shorter. Have a brand-new beginner? Try five minute sessions. As the child grows in her ability, you can add more minutes to each Suzuki practice session. Take it gradually – time is on your side. Your child is young, and is still growing. Sometimes, the practice session just won’t go well. There are very few prodigies who beg to practice at a young age. Face it, the ‘newness’ of music will wear off, and your child will dodge it, just like brushing teeth or feeding the cat. And sometimes, it just won’t be a good time to practice. ... Read More

...Suzuki teacher Craig Timmerman said that even a five-minute practice session would count towards the daily practicing routine. If that’s all you can handle on one day, at least you’ve been able to do that much. Practice Clubs – Why They Work and How You Can Do Them Too Practicing is definitely the surest way to encourage progress in your child’s music ability. Some teachers like to implement a Suzuki practice plan for their programs. For example, maybe your program has a 100-day club, for kids who have practiced a hundred days in a row without missing one day. Or perhaps you’ll see, at a ... 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.
