Colleen D

Instruments: Piano

My teaching experience dates back to my high school years. My piano instructor at the time appreciated my gifts and allowed me to assist with teaching beginner students. I continued to teach throughout my college years and still enjoy teaching today. I encourage regular practice and a consistent schedule. I find that consistency helps with progress and with the development of a passion for making music. I encourage my students to enter competitions and recitals so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn. Read More

While I do like to use method books and curriculum such as Hal Leonard's Essential Elements for Strings and Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course, I also recognize that every student is unique. That's why I work hard to get to know each of my students and figure out what their strengths and needs are. Then I can tailor a path that is personal to each student and keeps them excited and engaged while moving towards their individual goals. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet Ukulele Recorder Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

During my 18 Yrs of teaching private lessons I’ve learned so much. I’ve grown as a person, performing musician and as a teacher. Music is very a rewarding passion, I strive to communicate my joy and desire to all of my students no matter the age, goals or instrument. Rock n roll was my first love but I studied classical and jazz at the university, along with musical theatre and orchestra gigs. Read More

Cindy L

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I began teaching my first student when I was in high school. I enjoyed it so much that I decided then that I would incorporate teaching piano in my future. After I had my twins and became a stay at home mom, I began to teach students in my studio. I was instructed by two professors for almost 20 years in private lessons. I have played for more than 300 weddings, funerals, and receptions. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard

I tell students of all ages "I've been there! I've been that guy!" as much as I can so they understand how far I've come and how far they can go with determination and effort on their part. I felt so clueless during middle school band. I nearly gave it up completely before some friends convinced me to join the choir. The change in setting, and the change in teacher made all the difference. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele Music Keyboard

When working with beginning students who are children, I typically start with the Alfred series. This method offers a comprehensive approach to learning the fundamentals of music, including rhythm, note reading, and instrumental techniques. As the student gains confidence and develops a solid understanding of these basics, I gradually introduce them to solo repertoire that is well-suited for their first recital performance. This not only helps them apply what theyve learned but also builds their performance skills and stage presence. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
First, they need the support and supervision of the parents or child care workers. It is especially great if parents sing or play a flute, for instance, along with the student's piano. For students who have moved into playing with both hands, I point out how unique it is that the piano can accompany itself. I advise them to practice each hand separately and then to slowly put both hands together. The are usually amazed that they can do it. One student came up with the idea that "Amazing Grace" is the way to signal to me that his lesson has ended and it also signals to his household when his practice time has ended. They love the song so I explained the story about John Newton's and why he wrote it. Music lessons can become teaching opportunities in many ways. When he plays it to at practice, his mom knows she can put supper on the table.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
It can be hard to tell if a child is ready to start lessons until you actually sit down with him or her child and make them realize they have to pay attention and engage as instructed. Although a teacher wants to make learning anything fun at first, the child needs to accept that it isn't just a play date with music thrown in. How soon they can focus and sit still for 30 minutes varies. I am willing to try it at age 4, but it usually doesn't work. I don't have a minimum age requirement, but it progresses works best if they have started school and can read at least a little.

When will I start to see results?
You will start to see results when a student can look at the simplified, large size notes on paper and know how to play the song as written. I usually give them a paper keyboard to line up where the keys meet the backboard and learn to match "a" on the printed music with playing the "a" key. It is a shift, but I compare it to learning the alphabet, then making words, then sentences. It requires a connection and we usually start with something they already know, such as "Twinkle, Twinkle little star" or another childhood song. Sometimes I get a younger sibling to sing along with the older child playing. I've found students like to "teach", too.

...and the instrumental section has been abridged for our purposes. Also, I’ve adjusted the time feel in the intro and instrumental sections to make it less confusing (I’ll explain this and demonstrate it in the video).   We’re also gonna approach this from a strumming standpoint. We’ll be using a pick and I believe John Rzeznik and Robby Takac (the guitarists on this song) both use picks. Feel free to use your fingers to strum and they do provide more sound options. More importantly, I encourage you to approach the song however you feel most comfortable. These are just my suggestions. Accompaniment... Read More

If we learn a few simple rules about how each key is constructed, we’ll be able to instantly know things like what key pieces of music are in and how to build every basic chord in every key.

There are many ways to get involved in this area of the music industry, and sorting through all of them can prove overwhelming for some people, so let’s look at the basics of it. What Exactly Is Audio Engineering In its simplest form, audio engineering is the manipulation of sound, either recorded or amplified. When an instrument is captured, converted to electrical signals, and reproduced as a recording or amplified sound, there is often a loss of quality and a change in the character of the sound.

...to sit still and focus for at least 30 minutes. It is best if your child has indicated some desire to learn piano. If the interest is generated by the parent, younger students have been known to lose interest more quickly than if they expressed desire to try the instrument themselves. Mental readiness: All music is made up of notes and every note has a letter name. In order to properly grasp the concepts of music, younger children will need to be able to read and comprehend the alphabet. In addition to understanding the alphabet, numbers and counting are a concept that students will also need to understand. Counting is necessary to learn the concept of rhythm and beat. ... Read More
