Jose P

Instruments: Piano Cello

Each student is different, therefore each strategy varies. However, my overall goal is to have the student enjoy learning how to play their instrument as well as help grow their passion and love for music. Before I begin teaching a student I always ask what they wish to achieve with their instrument. This way, I believe, is best to plan accordingly for each individual student. Read More

Daniel W

Instruments: Piano Voice

I am a compassionate instructor and am excited to share my love of music with my students. My philosophy is that the student comes first and the music comes second. I attended Oklahoma City University pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Musical Theatre. After leaving OCU I studied further voice lessons from Michael Crowley, a former member of the company at the Metropolitan Opera. I have played piano since I was 5 years old. Read More

Kenneth W

Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Djembe

For beginning percussion students who are children, I typically start with Kennan Wylie's Simple Steps to Successful Beginning Percussion and Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has grasped the fundamentals of playing and reading, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I like to find out what what the student is interested in learning, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep lessons engaging and fun, no matter the ability. Read More

Matthew M

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba

My teaching style is to motivate students through fun while building a passion for music. I set expectations for each student and make sure they are a better musician today than they were yesterday. I enjoy finding new and exciting methods to teach any student. Nothing is more rewarding to me than helping a student get that important audition, scholarship, or honor. I always determine what inspires my students and coach them to success every time. Read More

Christopher J

Instruments: Voice

Goal Setting and Tracking Progress: Setting clear, achievable goals is key to keeping students motivated and focused. I work closely with each student to establish short-term and long-term goals, regularly assessing progress and adjusting lesson plans accordingly. Positive Reinforcement and Encouragement: Creating a supportive and nurturing learning environment is essential for student success. I provide constructive feedback and encouragement, celebrating achievements no matter how small, to instill confidence and motivation in my students. Read More

Devin B

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Oboe Bassoon English Horn

My teaching experience started 5 years ago. I was a senior in high school and was teaching a beginning student the trombone. Throughout the past 5 years I have continued to teach students when I was able to. I encourage regular practice and maintaining a consistent schedule. I always say 10 minutes a day is better then 30 minutes every 3 days. For younger students a combination or aural learning and written learning are great ways to help them engage and keep an interest. Read More

Philip C

Instruments: Violin

I have a patient, focused, goal-oriented teaching style derived from pedagogical practices and my own personal experiences as a musician. Studying with me will help you cultivate technique that is fine and precise, develop a deeper appreciation for music, and most importantly, help you perfect the art of practicing smart. I am particularly inspired by the positive reinforcement methods employed by Suzuki, which successfully encourage and motivate any student. We will be going through a fairly even distribution of scales, etudes, and repertoire that I will carefully select based on your current abilities. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Robin T

Instruments: Cello

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
When I was little, I had terrible stage fright. Not only on the cello, but also in little roles I had in school plays. I could barely stammer out my lines! As a cello player, my hands trembled so much when I performed that I could barely play! I was so determined to be a professional cellist, so I read all the performance books I could get my hands on. Many of the techniques I learned to train for the stage were found not only in books for musicians, but also for sports. Between those mental toughness techniques and just pushing myself to get out there, I have conquered stage fright! Not only am I comfortable performing on stage, but also with speaking to the audience. I have grown to love being a performer!

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I started playing the cello at age 9, but it wasn’t until I was 15 years old that I decided I wanted to be a professional musician. The defining moment was when I was performing in my local youth orchestra. We were performing a piece called The Pines of Rome. In one part of the music, I was so moved that I tears came to my eyes. It was so overwhelming and I knew then and there that I wanted to turn my music-making into a career.

When will I start to see results?
WIth consistent practicing, you will see/hear progress every week. Sometimes the progress is slow, but it is there! Sometimes, a student will have breakthroughs and giant leaps are accomplished in a short period. No matter what, I tell my students to “trust the process”. By that I mean, follow what your private teacher assigns and you will become better and better!

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I have a few standard books I use for most of my students. For scales, Technical Studies, Volume One by Klengel. The author was also a cellist and I like his various options for scale study. It keeps things interesting! For facility, I like a book by Cossman. It may appear tedious, but the exercises are super effective! For more musical etudes, I like Sevcik, Duport, Piatti and Popper. I prescribe these fro my more advanced students and continue to practice them myself. The teach many techniques while remaining beautiful pieces. The book series I assign my beginners is called "Artistry in Strings" by Robert S. Frost. I love how they color-code the strings in the Introductory book. This is particulary useful for little kids beginning the cello. I also use the Suzuki Cello School books. I am certified iin Book 1, but really love using all of the volumes as they are pieces that coincide very logically with students' technical progress. A series that supplements the Suzuki books is called Position Pieces by Rick Mooney. These last two go hand-in-hand for successful skill development.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
In my experience, when a child can speak and say their ABCs, they can start learning a stringed instrument. Their are many games and songs that help little ones learn while having fun!

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I recommend writing down your game plan before starting a practice session. Take into consideration not only what your teacher assigned, but the amount of time you have allotted for your practice that day. Break down each assignment into manageable chunks and don't worry if you don't get through everything! It's more effective to have quality over quantity!

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.
