Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Accordion Ukulele Conga Latin Percussion Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I Try to get away from mechanism without joy. Everything has to be close to the music. Exercises to be actually doing them with a rhythm and time. Other than doing things musically, practicing in different times and intentions help a lot for the student to be open to play songs in different ways. Technique and theory are necessary tools. To apply concepts musically they need to do it with musical taste. Read More

Andreas D

Instruments: Violin Viola

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
That's a great question! The difficulty of mastering different aspects of an instrument can vary from person to person, but there are some common challenges that many students face. One of the most challenging aspects of learning any instrument is developing a strong sense of musicality and expression. It's not just about playing the right notes; it's about conveying emotion and telling a story through your music. This requires a deep understanding of dynamics, phrasing, and articulation. It can take a lot of practice and time to truly master this aspect of playing an instrument. Additionally, technique can also be quite challenging to master. This involves developing precise finger or bow control, breath control (for wind instruments), and coordination between your hands or fingers. Building a solid foundation in technique is crucial for playing more advanced pieces of music. Lastly, consistent practice and discipline are essential for mastering any instrument. Learning to stay motivated and focused on your practice routine can be a significant challenge, especially for young learners. It's important to set achievable goals and celebrate small victories along the way to keep the motivation alive. Ultimately, the hardest thing to master on any instrument is a combination of these factors: musicality, technique, and consistent practice. It's a journey that requires dedication and patience, but with the right guidance and determination, your child can make great progress and enjoy the rewards of playing their instrument.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Thank you for your question! I do indeed use specific teaching methods and materials to guide my instrumental lessons. The choice of teaching method and books can greatly impact a student's learning experience and progress. In my teaching approach, I primarily use a combination of well-established methods like Suzuki, along with some customized materials, including my own 9 book series for scales. Here's why I've chosen these methods and materials: 1. Suzuki Method: The Suzuki method emphasizes ear training, listening, and repetition. It's particularly effective for younger children as it mimics the way they naturally learn their first language. This approach helps develop a strong foundation in music, focusing on technique, tone production, and musicality from the beginning. It also encourages parental involvement, which can be very beneficial, especially for younger students. 2. Customized Scale Series: I've created my own 9 book series for scales because scales are fundamental to developing a strong technique on any instrument. These books are designed to progressively introduce scales and arpeggios in a way that is tailored to the student's level of advancement. They cover different keys, fingerings, and musical contexts to ensure a comprehensive understanding of scales, which are essential for playing a wide variety of music. 3. Supplementary Materials: In addition to the Suzuki method and my scale series, I also incorporate supplementary materials from various sources like Alfred, Bastion, and Hal Leonard. These materials offer a diverse range of music pieces, exercises, and theory lessons that help enrich the student's musical education. I select specific pieces and exercises based on the student's interests and goals. 4. Individualized Approach: Every student is unique, so I adapt my teaching methods and materials to meet their specific needs and learning styles. Some students may benefit more from a structured method like Suzuki, while others may require a more flexible approach, drawing from various sources. Ultimately, my goal as a music instructor is to provide a well-rounded education that equips my students with the skills and knowledge they need to become proficient musicians. By combining established teaching methods with customized materials, I aim to create a learning experience that is both engaging and effective for your child's musical journey.
