I have had the pleasure of working with students young and old. I have had over 30 years of teaching experience. Nothing is more rewarding than to see my students excel and find their own style to develop as they progress. I am passionate about teaching and want my students to enjoy learning. I am also a performing musician. I have been involved in many types of music all my life. Read More

Scott S

Instruments: Drums

I love to see my students succeed in life! Setting realistic goals is key as some students want to learn for a new hobby, some have a career, and some just love the art of drumming! For me, drumming is all of the above mentioned as well as a form of meditation therapy. My student's always leave smiling, having learned a new skill feel good about themselves and their life.

Simeon K

Instruments: Piano

I am well versed of the many piano method books out there for students today. I recommend to my younger students Alfreds Premier Piano Course or Fabers Piano Adventures. For my adult students, I recommend Alfreds All-in-One Adult Piano Course because it offers a coherent approach to a well-rounded music education at the piano. Once my students have grasped the fundamentals, I begin to introduce repertoire that fits their needs and wants. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style is natural, relaxed and yet, very enthusiastic, all at the same time. I have patience in abundance and my continual student affirmation is well received. I give most attention to personalizing instruction for each of my students. My passion for musical expression is contagious and readily shared. It is a joy to teach music, to contribute to the growth and delight that I witness through a student's progress. Read More

Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice is just that, going over and over a lick, and part in your music that you don’t understand. Developing a regiment for this is suggested by the instructor. This does not mean it works for you. Try short bursts of time/energy, say 1-2 bars of a passage that you just can’t get in Tempo. Slow it down, use your metronome at a slow marking that you don’t make mistakes, slowly build up the tempo until you reach the desired tempo. This helps you get over the hump, also try 10-15 minutes several time a day, this helps your concentration, and I bet you have plenty of other things to do.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They have asked you for an instrument, so that’s good, but do they really need lessons? This is a tough question. Beginners do need some type of instruction, how to hold the instrument, how to make sounds, properly, but some beginners learn from others or are a natural. Try to pick and instrument that requires little expense, buy a used guitar, not a new one. If money is no object, then buy the new one. Most beginners think they want to play an instrument, but when they start, and don’t really get into it, they lose interest. I suggest you decide on an instructor and take 4 lessons, step back and evaluate the lessons with your child.

When will I start to see results?
Some beginning students take 3-6 months to develop their musical awareness. Others longer, This depends on any physical limitations regarding the instrument of choice. The bass guitar requires callouses on the left hand to be comfortable. This takes awhile depending on the students practice time. If the student plays the Double bass, this requires bowing technique as well. This takes practice. Keep conversation ongoing with your child, make sure this is working for them.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I did have inspiration, I listened to the radio and played bass lines to songs. My ears honed in on the bass So I was able to hear the bass line and then find it on the instrument and memorize it. My influences were, Paul McCartney, still one of the best rock bass players alive today. My parents always help me, my mom is a piano player and my dad sang in Barbour shop quartets and taught himself piano. Mostly, I decided I wanted to learn music and make it my main source of income.

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.
