Cheikh P

Instruments: Drums Conga Latin Percussion Djembe

I firmly believe that in order to be proficient in anything it's important to make it your own and simply have fun. I would not be doing my job properly if my student did not have fun or find creativity within the learning process, coming up with silly phrases or thinking about a certain concept in a way that is creative and abstract is my preferred method. I like to ask my students to use there imagination in a way that essentially not only helps them learn but restructures the way they view learning and practicing in general. Read More

Darrick L

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer Keyboard

I am a traditional piano teacher. I strongly believe that building skills work: Sight-Reading, Ear Training, Understanding the structure(theory), and playing a variety of good repertoire works. When you teach these foundations - I learned to improvise, interprete, arrange, and create easier. The fundamentals do not mean you can't have fun - to me it explores and opens up the fun of singing or playing this marvelous instrument . So I believe in teaching a. Read More

Logan T

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums

My method of teaching involves a musically comprehensive approach. Through practice in rhythm, harmony, melody, theory and ear training, my players become well rounded musicians. The goal is to be able to have an intelligent musical conversation with your instrument, and to know how to play whatever you want to play. In my lessons reading sheet music is optional, but not required. I want my students to know that there is more to playing than just what's in the ink. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Daniel E

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I, like many other kids my age dreamed of being a rockstar but something more than the looks and swagger of the guitar drew me to it. It is a very personal instrument. I loved the idea that I could take it anywhere with me, unlike a giant piano! I could play it soft or I could wail away on it as loud as I wanted. It is an instrument that can accompany others or shine on its own and is quite limitless. But, back to the rockstar ideal, all of my favorite musicians were guitar players. From Stevie Ray Vaughn and Buddy Guy to Segovia and Villa Lobos.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was very fortunate to be able to start taking lessons when I first picked up my instrument and continue taking those lessons up until I left for college. I had the same teacher from 14 years old to 19 which is when I went to college. He was and still is a phenomenal teacher! He encouraged me to learn many styles and incorporated music theory into my lessons as well which I find can be somewhat lost when learning the guitar. When I got to college I had the honor of studying with one of Canada's most renowned classical guitarists whom, while very hard on me, was very inspiring! Those two have made me the player and the teacher I am today!

When will I start to see results?
I get this question all the time. If you are a beginner just picking up your instrument for the first time and you are practicing efficiently you should see results fairly quickly. However, this question completely depends on how much time is being spend practicing. As a beginning guitar player I had to start out practicing in short segments in order for my fingers to get in shape and stop hurting. Once the calluses on my fingers got stronger I was able to practice for longer periods of time and began to notice results faster. The more you practice, as long as it is done efficiently, the more results you will see.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always start with a warm up! I can't tell you how many times as a young kid I ignored that advice! Thankfully I smartened up and always warm up now. It is also very, very important to make sure you practice at least a short time each and every day versus trying to practice for one long session at the end of a long week. I also encourage to take whatever you may be working on, whether it be from your lesson or a separate piece of work, that you break it up into small sections. If what your working on is something like an ABA format, then focus on A before moving onto B rather than playing through the whole thing start to finish over, and over and over again, like so many of us like to do.
