Deirdre V

Instruments: Piano Drums Synthesizer Latin Percussion Keyboard

I have used all of the store brand version of piano books, and find a preference in the ones I was taught in from the 70's which are too many to mention; but depending on the student, I will find a book that is age appropriate and go on from there. I also do different ear training activities using apps on my phone. I start with nursery rhyme type music for children because that is what is ingrained in their mental ear. Read More

Timothy Z

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

My methods vary from student to student. I believe strongly in making sure students are learning what they want to learn and adapting to every students needs! While I will employ different techniques with each student, I do tend to use several concepts universally. I like to use a Kodly based system to teach all styles of music. All music is taught through internalization by listening and analyzing and then emulation of what is heard. Read More

Amber R

Instruments: Violin Viola

My teaching experience goes back to my high school days, as I began teaching privately 7 years ago, and have consistently taught in my home studio for the last several years. Encouraging regular practice, as well as focused practice, are some of the key points I like to emphasize for all of my students. Practicing correctly, as well as consistently, motivates students as they see their exponential progress. All seriousness aside, having fun and playing from the heart is the most important thing to remember. Read More

Alexander P

Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard

As I mentioned before, I evaluate each student’s starting ability and talent and devise a starting point accordingly.  I strive to motivate and inspire each student so that they begin to love the music they play and understand it well.  I teach each student based on his/her ability and potential and see that they make progress at their own pace.  I encourage progress and results as well as enjoyment of practicing and playing music.  I emphasize techniques and every musical ingredient necessary to achieve a superior, artistic level of playing.

Leon J

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone

My approach to teaching varies with every student a come across. I try to get a good grasp of their strengths and weaknesses while also identifying their nature gifts. All musicians have unique abilities and ways of expressing their talents. I am very much open to artistic freedoms and catering to different approaches for each individual student. I strive to facilite resources to allow my students to set realistic goals for themselves. Read More

Jocelyn C

Instruments: Flute

I currently teach in the public schools during the day, and I perform and teach by night. I love encouraging my students to develop their skills while maintaining their love of music and learning. Honing a craft should not crush creativity, it should not stifle their individuality. Music making should be natural, passionate, and my job is to give them the tools to become the flutist *they* want to be! Read More

Asher W

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Mandolin Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Right around age six, I discovered that my hands were finally big enough to fret a guitar! I spent the next decade banging away on my own amongst the redwoods north of San Francisco. Bass, keys, mandolin, and vocals soon slipped into my repertoire, filling the space where a proper social life might otherwise have been. I swore to never go pro, lest it ruin the fun. For most of this time, I had assumed that good music died when The Beatles broke up, but in high school I flung my mind open to the stylistic diversity of the digital age. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Brian L

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Drums Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Harmonica Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Recorder Double Bass Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Acoustic Guitar

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I don't have a primary instrument, but if I had to narrow it down, I would say Piano, Bass, Drums, Ukulele. Those are my favorite instruments to play and those are my best instruments out of all of the instruments that I play. I can play pretty much any instrument, but banging on drums is probably what makes me the happiest. I can express my emotion and use dynamics to express different moods and feelings. I would love to teach others my primary instruments, but also other instruments I play to make the world a place full of musicians that play all kinds of instruments.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of playing with others and joining a musical community where I can play with others and make friends and new family members from it. I got the John Phillip Sousa award in High School for being the best student in the entire orchestra for four whole years. Only one person gets that award. I also got to perform on live television which was a great experience. I am in many bands. One of them is currently making a music video. Another one is recording a professional album and when done, the album will be sent to a friend who works as a scout for Razor and Tide records. Another band just recently played at some fashion shows, a museum, and we are working our way up the ladder and getting closer to really getting our music out there. Another band I am in has nine pre-grammy nominee awards and a music innovation award for their songs and music videos and we play at a festival in Brooklyn, New York.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Even though I am pretty young, I spent a lot of my life teaching myself how to play instruments and I have been performing for around five years. That experience is what I needed in order to teach others how to play instruments to the point where they are so good at it, that they can perform live and feel comfortable playing around others. I haven't had any students yet as this is the reason why I have joined the Musika Community. I plan to teach students to the best of my ability and once I do that, we will see how many of my students decide to perform music to the point where they will have a chance to win awards or get special honors.

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.
