Kristine R

Instruments: Flute

I believe that it is important to assess the needs and goals of each student as a creative individual. My goal as an educator is to develop a unique style and approach molded by each student in order to the gain the most success. Lessons are not one-size-fits-all and this is reflected in my teaching style. For education to be truly effective it must be engaging and challenging and I motivate every student to take responsibility for their own learning. Read More

I began teaching my senior year of high school in California. Since then, I have established myself as a teacher in New York City, teaching both privately and in public schools. From 2013-2014, I was given a wonderful opportunity to teach students in Nebraska via the Distance Learning studio at Manhattan School of Music. Throughout my eight years of teaching, I have found myself constantly learning and growing as a teacher with my students. Read More

Hello there! Thank you for reviewing my profile! I'm an enthusiastic and patient instructor who loves to share my musical knowledge with students of all ages and levels. I understand the effort it takes to learn a musical instrument and I'm here to support and help you to succeed. I graduated from Musician's Institute (GIT) in Hollywood, CA majoring in Music Performance Composition. I've been a working musician since the late 1990's and have traveled up and down the West Coast and across the Southwest US playing Rock, Funk and Jazz Fusion music in various music projects/bands.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I like to divide my lessons into three different parts the first part would be a warm up in wish we get ready all the necessary muscles involved in playing the instrument with exercises that would develop dexterity and coordination simultaneously, the second part of how to listen is based on learning a basic piece of music that is guaranteed to develop the basic skills to perform something that they are interested on, on the cliff part of the lesson is to choose a song that the student wants to learn and analyze it apply what we learned by playing the basic peace and the warm ups.

Jessica F

Instruments: Flute Recorder Piccolo

I approach teaching with a fun atmosphere, laid back to be comfortable to ask questions, develop passion for music to allow progress and praise to build confidence so students want to try more difficult music to help build that motivation and eagerness to learn. I always like to use my first lesson as a get to know. Being able to ask students questions on why they choose to play flute, what inspires them to play, etc will allow me to mold my teaching to their wants and needs. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Cierra A

Instruments: Violin Viola Music

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
The defining moment was in 5th grade after I won my first solo audition for the Koger Center; I'd been playing for less than a year. I played in front of thousands of people and there was a thrilling sensation I felt, knowing that I was able to touch the lives of so many people with sound. That's when I knew then that music would be a part of me for the rest of my life. Music heals, when words cannot.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Majority of my family members (aunts and cousins) are singers, my dad played the keyboard and organ by ear and my mother is completely tone deaf.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started playing piano after I started playing violin. It made it easier to see the intervals vs having to feel them on the violin.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Essential Elements (shows the beginning basics of the violin/viola). Suzuki (to focus on memorization) Carl Flesch (Scales-which improve intonation) Kreuzer (Etudes-to focus on various techniques)

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My students have auditioned for Region and All-State Orchestra, each one of them have successfully made it, not because of me, but because of their dedication and willingness to work hard.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Intonation is definitely the hardest thing to master on the violin or viola. Simply because you can't see where to put your fingers (like a guitar or piano). With time and consistent practice the student will build muscle memory and intonation will no longer be an issue.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Majority of my older cousins were playing violin in their school orchestras. I went to a couple of their concerts when I was younger and I haven't looked back since.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Don't feel bad if you didn't achieve your goal in your current practice session. Re-evaluate the way you're practicing. Take it one measure at a time, if you need to, take it one beat at a time and repeat it for 5 mins. Play it slowly with a metronome and build it up to the performance tempo.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they're willing to focus for at least 30 minutes straight, they're ready. Typically a child is ready if they're constantly asking or obsessing over music. Don't worry about them being bored in their lessons, it's my job to make the lessons fun :)

When will I start to see results?
If the student follows the practice structure given at their first lesson, you'll see results within the first week. It's extremely important that the student practices consistently, this will show the best results.

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.
