Andrew K

Instruments: Guitar

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with some basic chords and scales. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More

Camille H

Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Music Keyboard

I work with my students at the level and pace that they are comfortably happy. We all come to music and music lessons for different reasons. My work is to honor that space and demonstrate that making music is an option for anyone who wants it, regardless of any perceived “barriers” in place. I am currently learning and researching models of Universal Design for Learning. I apply as many techniques as possible to engage with students and make the music both cognitively appropriate and musically enjoyable. Read More

I started teaching my Sophomore Year while studying music in college and have loved it ever since. I enjoy finding out how my teaching methods can fit with one's personality and watching people grow throughout the years. I have kept students consistently for 2 years and each student is different and unique. Some of my students are doing certificate programs like ABRSM, while others are singing and playing piano simultaneously. Some of my students learn by ear and others are sight readers. Read More

Lauren G

Instruments: Piano Voice Clarinet

My name is Lauren and I am a voice and piano instructor who has the goal of not only improving your voice or piano skill, but also improving your confidence and presence on stage. My love of music dates back to my early childhood and it has been a dream come true getting to share it with budding musicians both young and old. I have had the opportunity to work with some extraordinary musicians in my career and have come to understand the importance of not only teaching solos but also coming together as a team. 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.
