Brian G

Instruments: Guitar

I have spent the majority of my life as learning the guitar and studying music, and I am dedicated and passionate about sharing my knowledge and love of the instrument with the students I teach. I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Bachelors Degree in Guitar Performance and recently just moved to Nashville where I am currently playing professionally and teaching students. I find teaching to be an incredibly rewarding experience on my musical journey, and look forward to helping my students reach their goals. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Music Acoustic Guitar

I have been teaching private lessons since I began pursuing my degree! I have taught ages ranging from beginning band (5th 6th grade) all the way to late high school (juniors and seniors). I am well versed in all brass instruments and have been playing for almost ten years. I encourage my students to look at music through a different lense, its not like school or competition, its about finding an inner skill and becoming a well-rounded, kind musician. Read More

Sofia J

Instruments: Drums

Everyone's learning style is different.  Part of being a great teacher is the ability to see what each student needs in order to feel inspired.  Music is my passion and my goal is to make everyone feel accomplishment with what they play no matter their level.  I'm glad that my students have chosen to play the drums. I take pride in laying a solid foundation with proper technique for them to build from. Read More

I'm a freelance musician living in Nashville, TN. I am passionate about teaching and specialize in Old-Time, Bluegrass, Scottish, Folk, and Classical music. I have been playing professionally since I was in High School, and I studied at Vanderbilt University under the direction of Karen Clarke (Classical) and Matt Combs (fiddle). I now perform professionally with several bands including 10 String Symphony, Oh My Darling, and under my own name. If you are looking for a relaxed and fun teacher who is open to helping your child learn multiple styles and really love music, I'm your girl! Read More

John Flynt A

Instruments: Voice Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style is unique.....I evaluate the students and try to learn from their likes and dislikes and teach accordingly.....the Last thing a teacher wants to do is Discourage a young stundent ,inundating then with boring songs......a teacher that makes an impact will carefully listen to the students finding out what style of music they gravitate too...helping them in the best way achieve their musical goals...as a parent I try different ‘approaches’ in teaching my child different things ...I do the same with musical students 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.

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.
