James H

Instruments: Drums

I am more passionate about drumming and becoming a better drummer than any other pursuite I have encountered in life thus far. I have played in many bands covering almost every style and am convinced that every good drummer should be able to switch it up and play in any style demanded of them at anytime. The most popular bands I have played with are: Mercuria and the Gem Stars, Subterranean Safari, Instant Empire, The Yawpers, and my current band Eldren. Read More

Instruments: Drums Conga Latin Percussion Djembe

I started teaching occasional private lessons while attending college. Though this started with teaching my friends, it branched out to some strangers as well. After graduating, I started teaching at a lesson studio, maintaining a steady roster of 20-25 students every week. Teaching has definitely helped me develop my own knowledge of my instrument as well! I have found that in addition to simply teaching concepts, talking about my past experiences learning my instrument helps students connect with the material at a deeper level because they can trace a path from where they are to where I am, ability-wise.

Larry F

Instruments: Guitar Saxophone

My teaching style is completely based around being down to earth with the student and to make sure that they are comfortable with the learning process. A student will be guided, not forced to apply themselves and be an active part of their musical growth. If a student begins to lose interest on a given piece of music we will assess what is not working and make sure to continue in a new direction that will keep them engaged. Read More

Lauren E

Instruments: Piano Voice

For piano, I like to begin with fundamentals such as five finger exercises and musical literacy teachings to ensure growth of musical understanding as well as proper technique. I have had great success using the Faber and Faber book series, as this gets students in the music quickly. From there, there is so much solo repertoire to explore! I have a passion and preference for classical composers, but have experience with pop and modern techniques as well. Read More

April C

Instruments: Flute

I have picked up and loved the flute for 13 years, and I wish to share this passion and creativity with students.  I have had the opportunity to study under Emily McKay and Marco Granados, as well as perform in masterclasses with Trevor Wye, William Bennett, and Lorna Mcghee.  As a recent Denver citizen, I wish to grow my roots as a teacher who fosters flute playing as a fun and outside-the-box activity.

Terri D

Instruments: Violin Viola

I have taught individual private lessons for the last seven years and have continued to perform and compose. I want all of my students to play to the best of their ability and in accordance with their playing style and really enjoy playing! Read More

Christina H

Instruments: Voice

For beginning students, I focus on the essentials of theory and intervals and combine with the Voice for Life method. Each lesson is tailored to the student's needs and goals, so no lesson is exactly alike in structure. For intermediate to advanced students, I focus on aural (ear) training, sight singing and rhythm and follow it with prepared pieces in order to be "audition ready". For the intermediate to advanced students, I don't use a specific tool for teaching as I feel once you are past the fundamentals of music, everyone learns differently. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Wyatt S

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

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre of music to play is hands down metal. It’s what I grew up on, and it is what has guided me to learn the technical side of music and playing the guitar.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started to play piano in addition to the guitar when I went to college, because they required it of us. I also learned how to sing while I was there.

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 to become a professional musician came to me when I was in high school. It was something that I knew that I had wanted to do from first hearing the Lacrimosa to Mozart’s Requiem in D Minor my freshman year.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform was La Catedral by Augustin Barrios Mangore, and I actually got the opportunity to in my junior college jury. I would have to say this piece purely because of the beauty, and the way that space is conserved within the music.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren’t a musician I would most likely be an architect. The way that buildings are built and how they look has always intrigued me.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Arpeggiation, and how to manipulate it. Even the masters still sometimes struggle with the harder chord shapes, so it is something to definitely be considered.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session consists of warm-ups of different technical exercises, depending on the style and level of student, then it goes on to learning actual music.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a music degree in Classical Composition. I chose that degree so I would be able to know how to manipulate sound in a way that I could express myself to the world, and so I would have a very good understanding of what different music events were, and why they sounded the way they did.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of my symphonic writing. It was an out of body experience getting to sit in the audience while an orchestra was playing my music.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instrument back when I was little because I was obsessed with heavy metal. So playing the guitar really stuck with me, and it seemed to come very naturally so that helped guide my passion for the instrument.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I did, my guitar teacher from High-School. He instilled a passion for learning and teaching music by giving me the opportunity to perform in front of crowds as a solo artist, and with a quartet that I had formed.

When will I start to see results?
You will start to see results after the first couple of lessons. Once I get to know a student, and their learning style, I can give them tips on how to practice that will help give a noticeable end game result.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child starts to show a passion for learning music, or even listening to it intently, then they are ready for lessons. I wouldn’t force any child into doing anything they didn’t want to do, so that passion significantly helps.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Focus and discipline are important. My advice to help with that is to create a warm-up routine, and do it every single time before you start to practice your pieces. It will help to memorize music faster, and helps with different technical practices of learning an instrument.

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.
