Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Hello! I'm Kurt. I'm a passionate musician and instructor looking to spread the joy of music to all those who seek to learn it! For more than 10 years now I've been playing both guitar and bass. Though I never really thought of it as more than a hobby, after a few years of college music courses and over 7 years of private lessons, I realized somewhere along the line that I may have acquired enough skill to be more than a hobbyist.

Instruments: Voice Flute

 Encouraging regular practice is one of the key components I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the strudent progress and gain a passion for the instrument.  If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then I'm not doing my job!  My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own material.  I look forward to working with all new students!

Hello, I am Asia. I offer vocal lessons to beginners as well as those who are already proficient in the art, and I am also a local performer.

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

I have been lucky to perform more times than I can recall in my native Portland and the greater Pacific NW region. I continue to play regularly in a variety of genres and venues, and am continually seeking new projects and new connections with other musicians. With my students, I seek to enlighten their minds to the same heights, aiding them in building routine and developing critical thinking skills, as well as bequeathing them the same artistic sensibilities that I inherited during my formal music education.

Instruments: Drums Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion

I teach using a set of core principals which allows my students to gain control and understanding of the fundamentals of drumming, and more importantly, music. I work with my students to create short and long term goals, and I construct specific lessons based on these goals. I regularly learn songs that my students love, and use these songs to teach core concepts and create exercises that are specific to the students interests. Read More

Instruments: Banjo Classical Guitar

I'm a Portland-Based instructor who focuses on understanding music along-side the instrument. I graduated with my Master's in 2019 from Portland State University with a general music degree, and my undergraduate was focused in performance. I perform regularly under the moniker The Jack Maybe Project, as well as getting a classical duet started soon. I've toured all along the West Coast of the States, and through Utah and Idaho. Other than the projects I lead, I also play in two other bands in the Portland area who gig regularly. Read More

Instruments: Drums

I had always had a knack for passing on bits of wisdom to bandmates and friends that were interested in picking up a bit of drums, but it wasn't until spring of 2024 that I decided to take the leap, and got a job teaching drum lessons at my local Guitar Center. My teaching style involves stressing feel, timing, and confidence over note-for-note accuracy. I also spend a lot of time developing proper technique with my students, to ensure that my students do not form bad habits that limit their improvement. Read More
