Instruments: Clarinet Music

In my experience scales and exercises seems to be very beneficial, its something that cannot have last priority, as these are what make up your playing. I also will likely give one etude of mine or your choice per week or two. Also having a repertoire piece is vital, something to demonstrate skills, this can also be represented through ensemble pieces. I will to do my best for you since I am very passionate about music and specifically clarinet! Read More

Instruments: Voice

My teaching methods are very straightforward. We spend a lesson working through one or two songs. These songs can be provided by the student or by myself. After running through the songs we examine the tools that would be best used to improve the sound and performance of the songs. The most common techniques that I use in lessons are chiaroscuro resonance, even flow phonation, and vowel equalization. I believe in improving by trial and error. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet

I try to find out what their musical interests are and encourage them to play tunes that they like, or even improvise tunes. Scales, etc. all come in time. Again, I try to inspire by example. I've been told many times that my love of music and the trumpet is contagious. You either catch the (music) disease or you don't! I just try to provide ample opportunity to catch it. Read More

Instruments: Violin Viola

I have been consistently giving private lessons since 2009 while I was in college, The Peabody Conservatory. I have completed my student teaching as a string specialist at Elkridge Landing Middle School and Elkridge Elementary School in Maryland. It has been a wonderful experience, allowing me to become skilled teaching music in public school setting. After my student teaching, I taught at Glenwood Middle School and Tridelphia Ridge Elementary School as a string orchestra director. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone

I started teaching in my last year of undergraduate study. By sharing my idea of what I learned from my teacher to my student, I found myself become a better musician and teacher. I encourage my student to listening to different genre of saxophone playing, going to concerts and recitals, because the more the student engaging to the music world, the more they eager to learn. As soon as they start to learn an instrument, it is important to make plans and goals for their future study. Read More

Instruments: Violin

I have been teaching violin for over 10 years. Growing up in a family of musicians meant that I was always helping out in the music school run by my parents; as a violin teacher, ensemble coach and a practice supervisor. I began my own class of students in London, and also assisted my own professor in his teaching. I like to build up a strong technique on the instrument with my students, and apply this to the repertoire that they are working on. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Oboe Music

I have been teaching in classrooms and after-school programs for over twenty years, and in 2023 began teaching music lessons in my home studio. I grew up playing music and participating in school bands and orchestras, but spent the first half of my adulthood in careers unrelated to music. I have found that my formal music education did not prepare me for the music-making that I find most rewarding today--making music collaboratively and casually with friends. Read More
