Gretchen S

Instruments: Piano Organ

Teaching piano classes is something I continued at UMass/Amherst with Continuing Education students who were mostly from foreign countries. I thrive on meeting people from all age groups and skill levels. Collaborating with others is what floats my boat! I will ask questions to clarify what you are thinking without using musical jargon. (It can be done!) My goal has evolved with experience. Facilitating my students' understanding of music has the wonderful result of their increased enjoyment in listening to recordings and attending live performances. Read More

I'm a compassionate and enthusiastic instructor who has a love for creating listening to a diverse collection of music and passing this love of music onto my students. Since 2002, I've taken piano, vocal, songwriting music theory lessons at Twin Town Guitars and in my youth performed in youth music camps, jazz bands at St. Louis Park Senior High and various piano recitals. In 2018, I graduated from University of California, Santa Cruz with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a minor in Electronic Music. Read More

Joshua Y

Instruments: Drums Orchestral Percussion

My teaching philosophy is student centered. I realize that every student is different in their physical or mental capabilities; that each student has different expectations with their relationship to music and with themselves; and that each student has their own strengths, insecurities, and pace of learning. Focusing on what makes each student different and unique is what guides how I teach each student. For example, I've had a handful of students with autism who had limited verbal capabilities.

Willa G

Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele Music Keyboard

My lesson plans are curated for individual needs. Over the past twelve years, I have worked with all ages, talent levels, and abilities, and have learned that it is absolutely essential for the teacher to adjust their methods for each students, as each individual has different goals, learning styles, interests, and needs. I strive to find new music my students will fall in love with, and am constantly learning new music to help them play their favorite songs at their current level. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Daunyé S

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had a teacher at San Francisco State University who clarified fundamental music truths for me. This teacher used simple concepts that I really appreciated and even use in my instruction today. I learned that music is sound is waves is vibrations is energy. I learned from them that there are only 12 pitches. I learned that these 12 pitches are the building blocks of music.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Effective practice is consistent practice. I think it is important to have a practice schedule/routine. Write out the amount of time you practice each day. Create a practice chart and mark off each day you practice and for how long. It is important to work on parts of the music you are less familiar with. Practice is when we are working in repetition to improve on things we are uncomfortable with. Pick a section of music to practice and spend the most time working on the parts you don't know well. If you are playing through songs that are comfortable for you then I call that playing/performing.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instrument because I have been playing it the longest. I have the most experience with it. I think piano is classic. It is a great tool for being able to play harmony aka more than 1 note at the same time. I think I love harmony so it makes sense that I would either have chosen guitar or piano as my primary instrument. I suppose I chose piano because I had early access to it at my grandparents house. They owned an electric Yamaha Keyboard.

When will I start to see results?
Results are seen instantly. Every lesson is an opportunity to learn. My goal is to make sure the student learns at least 1 thing that they can take away from each lesson. Results are seen in the way we think about music, play music, hear music, read music, talk about music, learn music and practice music.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Every child is unique. I believe there are multiple indicators as to whether or not a child is ready for lessons. Children who enjoy singing and dancing are great candidates. Children who already tinker on the keyboard, without needing to be told, have a good chance at doing well with instruction. Children who listen to a lot of music and/or have been around musical instruments before tend to be appreciative of lessons. Children who are able to focus on something for 30 minutes may be ready to start lessons.

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.
