Autumn Emily D

Instruments: Violin Viola

For young beginners, I use a lot of the Suzuki Method of teaching. Music games, pitch recognition and rhythms are all introduced as games during the lessons. My adults study from a combination of pieces, exercises, scales and duets. I think understanding the pieces you are playing is important so students learn how to recognize key signatures and time signatures. I have many students participate in school orchestra and youth orchestra programs so students are coached on how to prepare, how to audition and learn how to cope with nerves. Read More

Kaylyn K

Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo

I meet students at their skill level, to ensure that they enjoy their learning experience. From there, we work together at a pace that is right for the student. This varies from person to person, and depends on the outcomes they want to achieve. I want students to stretch in order to expand their abilities, and reach levels they could not find without guided assistance, but I am not a demanding taskmaster. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet

I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado in May 2013 with a degree in jazz studies. While at UNC I studied jazz music as well as classical music. I'm very excited about teaching beginning and intermediate improvisers my own systematic approach to jazz improvisation. I'm also excited about teaching saxophone technique to beginning and intermediate saxophonists.   I also teach beginning piano. Read More

April H

Instruments: Piano Violin

Good practicing habits and proper technique are key. Fundamentals are important for the creating of greater skill potential. In the beginning, I do focus on form as well as producing a good tone out of the violin. Piano is similar with form. I believe the skills used in learning music can be used in learning other skills in life. My goal is not to just make a great musicians, but rather to encourage others in their endeavors and to teach a method of practice and learning that can be used in other areas in life. Read More

Lara C

Instruments: Piano Guitar Synthesizer

I teach private music lessons for five years.Every year I play piano and guitar with Woodland Park Holiday Home tour. Listeners always enjoy our playing. I'm appreciated by local musicians and students. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for playing music. I'm always looking to bring on new students of all ages! Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Eric R

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Take what i know from all the instruments i know at that time and tie that to the new instrument I'm trying to learn. From there you play to what the instrument is meant for and what purpose it serves in certain genres of music.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Perfect Pillow by the band Chon. It's extremely difficult peice and uses all the guitar techniques that i love in Prog music. It's such a beautiful piece.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have no clue. Maybe something with Film?

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Every genre and style of music has something i can appreciate and take from. Its too hard to find a favorite. However prog and jazz and high up on the list.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
The only guarentreed book i use with my students is the Guitar Grimoire series of books. I choose these because there is a book on every topic a guitar player needs to learn to become a successful guitar player. From scales to chord to improvisation. They have it all. Every book is dense with information. Like an encyclopedia for guitar. The only other books i use are books that i have personal experience with. I typically use these books when a student has a specific need or request that the Guitar Grimoire series can not help.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the guitar is mastering how to play the guitar.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The people who play the guitar and the music they made always looked and sounded so cool.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Not giving up half way through a difficult piece in front of an audience of people.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Every single musician i have seen or talked to on earth has inspired my musicality and life as a musician in some way. Good or bad, teacher or student, you can always learn to be inspired by somebody.

When will I start to see results?
If you pay close attention to your playing and progress you will see results with in the first 10 minutes of playing an instrument. Small or big.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they are willing to learn and practice what they learn then they are ready for lessons. Almost any age is the right age for anybody to learn an instrument but over the years I have noticed that around the age of 6-8 is the best time to get a child into lessons. This is where I see that they learn to have the most fun with the instrument and tend to be the most interested. Not to say that this does not exist younger or older the 6-8.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Pick the things that you struggle with and make a "plan of attack" on how you will practice them. For instance, If you are struggling with chord changes, soloing, and arpeggios then you should make a practice schedule that encompasses about one hour every 2 to 3 days. Spend about 10 minutes on chord changes you would like to know like a 2-5-1. Then take that chord progression and try to solo over it for 15 minutes to improve your understanding of soloing and the chord changes. Then spend the remainder of the time trying to insert arpeggios into your solos. This was you are practicing all the elements you are struggling with while combining your understanding of them individually into one practice session.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When everyone in my life started to tell me i would be an idiot if i didn't do something with my talents in music. They were right!

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.
