Music Lessons San Mateo County, CA

Instruments: Flute, Piccolo, Music

I have been teaching private flute lessons for over seven years, and I cherish the unique experiences I have with each new student I work with. I graduated from the University of North Texas with my BM (bachelor of music) in flute performance, and from Stony Brook University with my MM (master of music) in flute performance. I have performed in orchestras across the United States, in Canada, and in Europe, and I have been fortunate to study with wonderful mentors throughout my career. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Violin, Bass Guitar, Harmonica, Ukulele, Mandolin, Music, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

There is nothing I love more than sharing what I have learned over the course of my life. Helping someone on their way to mastering a musical instrument is always exciting. I began teaching in my early twenties, something that's always given me immense pleasure. Since that time, I have studied other instruments to differing degrees of success including but not limited to saxophone, chromatic harmonica, and drums. With each new instrument I learn, I'm afforded the opportunity to revisit my own teaching method. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Drums, Music, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I have been teaching guitar and drums since August of 2012. I started by teaching my friend's kids on the drums, ages 5 and 10. I also gave guitar lessons to adults of different ages, ranging from 20s to 80s. This includes a position as a Recreation Instructor for the City of Los Angeles. Music has been a major part of my life since I was a kid, and I would like to share this wonderful art form with anyone willing to learn. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Double Bass, Music, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

Perhaps we could make up a new song with the note names. Or for example an older adult who is having memory problems for learning a new piece, but is very good at associating the sound of music with a feeling or image. Perhaps we could take the music in smaller chunks with an image association for each new musical chunk. It makes me very happy to watch each individual begin to understand and harness their own personal strengths during the learning process. Read More

Instruments: Violin, Cello, Viola, Double Bass, Music

I first began teaching during my undergraduate program and have since taught in many different settings and for many different strings instruments. As an orchestra director of a grade and middle school, I was responsible for creating an appropriate string curriculum for my students and I was directly responsible for teaching beginning strings (violin, viola, cello and double bass) through Grade 3 difficulty. I maintain both a private studio and work for various studios in the area for all things string instrument related. Read More
