Instruments: Piano Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

The best plan is to always make room for fun as much as possible, because the harsh reality of practice can be a downer. I emphasize learning with the interest of the student in mind. It is best to be enthusiastic, but I make sure to see where the energy level of the student is to term the approach for the session. I give helpful reminders of learning techniques to stay motivated in between lessons. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Fiddle French Horn Piccolo Oboe

My approach to learning an instruments is to have the students learn to play by ear first before they can start learning to read music. I find that most students are able to progress quickly because it frees them to focus on the playing the instruments rather than reading notes. I consider reading music like different subject that they learn later. Learning music is like learning to speak. First we learn to talk and then we learn to read and write. Read More

Fruzsina L

Instruments: Piano

My primary desire for teaching piano is to make a positive impact on children as individuals. In the spring of 2022, I received my Master of Music diploma with a Concentration in Music Education from California Baptist University. I grew up in Veszprém, Hungary, where I started playing the piano at age 7. In 2010 I began her studies at Csermák Antal Music School in Veszprém, where I took lessons from jazz pianist and composer Orsolya Lakatos. Read More

Shaharoh C

Instruments: Piano Voice

To be honest, I didn't become serious about teaching in the arts until I went to graduate school from 2019 - 2022. There, I co-taught a class in the winter 2022 to undergraduates and realized I enjoyed teaching a variety of artists and helping them to feel more open in sharing their art and artistic practices. When I graduated, I knew that the next logical and intuitive step for me was teaching. Not only do I want to help others achieve their goals, I also feel that teaching pays homage to all of the mentors and teachers I've had throughout my life. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

First and foremost we will have a great time, and you will learn a ton. If you choose to only practice while we are in our lessons, you will get a little better. If apply the techniques and ideas we come up with during our lesson during the week, and practice everyday, you will improve in ways you never thought possible. If you are coming for voice you will learn to extend your range, intonation, pitch, as well as ways to connect with your audience. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trombone Drums Synthesizer Ukulele Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

My music is an explorative collage of rhythm and harmony that incites emotion, creating a wild and memorable experience for listeners. I source inspiration from an array of influences, ranging from Miles Davis, to The Beatles. My musical pieces are born during a 3–4 hour session at the piano, and refined through excessive scribbling, and endless rehearsing.   In the past year, I have expanded my professional development to work as an educator, and a scholar of music.

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

As of now, I have a business degree with an emphasis on entertainment and hospitality and have been playing guitar professionally for 15 years and bass guitar for 12 years. Some of the things I do professionally range from studio production/recording sessions to live performances (either with my own band or other peoples' groups or bands) and touring. I'm very grateful and blessed to be able to experience everything that I have up to this point at my still young age and nothing makes me more happier than to also be able to share that joy, passion, and experience with other people in the hopes that it might change their lives as well.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always begin with a gentle 10-minute warm up before tackling any exercises. Divide your practice schedule into three equal parts: warming up, technical exercises and repertoire. Try to practice every day for at least 20 minutes and no more than one hour, particularly if you are a singer. It's important to protect your instrument and vocal health is a primary consideration. Stay relaxed at all times to avoid straining muscles or vocal chords. Use a metronome to practice exercise that require good time keeping. Contact your teacher if you have any questions about the material you are working on.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
When your child is able to focus at least 20 minutes a day, he or she is ready to start studying a musical instrument. Your child must also have a passion for the particular instrument of choice. He or she must understand that while music is fun, learning to play a musical instrument also requires work in the form of daily practice. It is best to begin when your child demonstrates a degree of self-discipline and shouldn't have to be reminded to practice every day. Your child is ready for lessons when he/she finds a teacher who provides technical expertise, stylistic proficiency and above all, inspiration.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first music teacher was a trumpet player who loved music. His passion for teaching was so strong that after my lesson on Saturday mornings, I would stay and watch him teach for the rest of the day. He was a very talented musician and a warm, loving person with high but reasonable expectations. I loved practicing because I loved him. He was the inspiration for my becoming a teacher and I still miss him very much. He taught me that success in life requires labor and I have labored successfully every since!

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
For me this is a complicated question as I am a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist. I chose each instrument I play--and they are all primary--because of the aesthetic experience and emotional profile each has to offer. I began with trumpet because it matched my personality at age 12. I enjoyed the metallic feel of holding the instrument, buzzing my lips to produce a sound and using my dexterous fingers to navigate scales, arpeggios and other technical gymnastics. I added drums to my cache at age 14 because of my strong affinity for the beat and pulse of jazz and contemporary music. It was satisfying to hit a variety of semi-pitched drums with two sticks and the flare of crash cymbals was a delight to my senses! My love for classical music pulled me to the string family when I studied the acoustic bass at age 16. Plucking strings felt like heaven and the challenge for me was using the bow. When I was 18 I added the flute to my repertoire because of the traditional literature and the ease of making music with a simple, focused air stream. My eventual affinity for the voice as a musical form of expression stemmed from listening to scat singers, especially Ella Fitzgerald. Having already played an arsenal of musical instruments, it was easy to translate my emotions to the voice and I used jazz improvisation to realize this. At the time there was no pedagogy for scat singing so I decided to write one and teach it as an accepted technique in the music education arena. At age 27, I made the voice my primary instrument and began a career teaching "Instru-Vocal" technique and coaching singers in jazz and all styles of contemporary music.
