Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe

My teaching style is very focused on the student's desire to learn what they want. Very early into taking on a new student, I try to find what/who inspires them. Doing so allows me to tailor my teaching to each individual student. I also like to have 3 main "small improvement" objectives for each lesson. There's improvement on what we did during our last lesson, improvement during the lesson with something new I will introduce, and improvement for our next lesson with something I will give to the students to work on themselves after our lesson.

Deanna D

Instruments: Piano Voice

I use art songs that will guide singers through these areas of their voices, and will often allow the singer to bring in material of their own choosing within reason. At any age I put a large focus on how to practice outside of lessons. Lessons are for learning new vocal exercises and exploring new facets of the voice in a safe space. Outside of lessons are where substantial growth occurs. Read More

Karl B

Instruments: Voice

My students enjoy my relaxed, simple, and fun method of instruction. I am known to be very patient with people of all ages. For beginners who have never sung a note in their life before, I provide a bit of musical theory and solfge syllable instruction, so that they can learn the fundamentals of music, in order to sing beautifully. Regarding all my students, I always start with warm-up vocalises, consisting of scales and arpeggios, as well as a few breath exercises, and then, we move on to repertoire. Read More

Jacob A

Instruments: Piano

My teaching experience began 10 years ago when I had the opportunity to teach group piano classes at a local elementary school. My first piano pedagogy classes were at the Cleveland Institute of Music in 2005-2006, and I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity for practice teaching not only at the Cleveland Institute of Music but also at the MacPhail Center for the Arts in Minneapolis, MN. I taught 20 weekly students during my time at the University of Illinois and upon moving back to Minneapolis, MN, began teaching for Schmitt Music locations as well as agencies that give in-home lessons.

Kirsten T

Instruments: Voice Trumpet

I love seeing my students succeed and feel great about what they are learning and mastering. Because of this, I make sure to take each student into consideration and move them along at their individual pace. We set realistic goals in each lesson, while also pushing ourselves to be the best we can be! I like to give a clear understanding of what my students should be practicing while we are in the lesson, so that they are successful in their practice at home. Read More

Joshua C

Instruments: Trumpet

My teaching style is simple! I make having fun the most important part, especially for beginners because no one wants to do anything that isn't fun! It was the same for me when I started learning tennis. I ensure first that a student has a general grasp on basic scales and mechanics that are essential for the trumpet and afterwards I like to look into other components of the trumpet such as intonation, trumpet concertos and more advanced concepts such as attacks, soft/loud, playing higher, etc. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Harmonica Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Becoming a professional musician was a gradual decision for me. I already knew how to play the piano and electric guitar in my teenage years. In high school I joined a band of friends who liked playing music as well. We played at places like the Gulfport Casino, a legendary place that had all sorts of music and plays, including saturday night teen dances. We were hired after an audition, and played there frequently. As we got better as musicians, we branched out to include teen dances all over Florida. After that, I met some other guys who were serious about music and joined their band. We played locally and occasionally traveled to booked events. As I became more proficient in my instrument, I toured and traveled with a band in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Florida. We played in large venues, opening for national acts and recording stars.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I began piano at the age of five, and that is because my mother played the piano well. She really loved playing. My brother started learning to play the piano as well with me. One of my greatest memories is how happy my mother seemed when she played. She could read music well and my father bought this beautiful baby grand piano which he refinished. I also remember the piano tuner who would come to the house and tune each note to perfect pitch. It was a sight to see and hear. I am sure the was a foundation for me to like music and playing. I hope you do too.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I have found the more music styles I listen to, the more I enjoy music as a whole. My favorite music style is good old rock and roll. Within, that genre are many variations based on types of percussion, singing ability, additional instrumentation, and style of the musician. That being said, I like a single musician playing and singing alone, like sing/songwriters Neil Young , and countless others. As for myself, when I learned the basics of playing, I played what others had recorded. Now, I am able to play other instruments, sing, write songs , play with others and it is all fun to me. I hope I can pass that on to you or your child.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I learned to play the piano first. Then, my mothers organ. When I was a teenager, I started to learn guitar,which was mostly comprised of chords and simple lead guitar licks. Then, as friends in school, we formed a band and played at local area venues. After a few years, i joined a professional group where I took up the bass guitar. I have been on the bass for over 30 years. In the last seven or eight years, I learned to play the harmonica, which was surprisingly easy for me. Now, I move back and forth between these instruments depending on the song we are playing, sometimes handing off the bass to another band member to play so I can play the harmonica. To me, it was a natural and easy transition from one instrument to another. I hope it will be for you too.

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.
