Norman T

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Banjo

My goal for every student is to experience learning their instruments in an environment that is both encouraging and rewarding. I exhibit patience with the student knowing what it takes to develop new skills and I work hard in helping each student feel at ease in expressing themselves. I have used many different materials over the years, depending on the individual student's needs and desires to play their music. I do stress learning to read music notation so that you can approach with confidence any piece of music that you would like to play. Read More

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I began taking piano lessons under the tutelage of two professors at the age of five. I continued these lessons until I turned 24. At 16 I began to work professionally as a musician. I have always loved music and play most every day. I feel that God gives us all gifts and music is one of them. I would love to have the opportunity to share my gift with others by helping them to create and mold their talent for their enjoyment, and for the enjoyment of others. Read More

My goal and main priority as a teacher is to help my students achieve, then surpass their musical aspirations. I tend to use the first couple of lessons to get a feel for the students musical goals along with their current musical ability.Upon initial assessment of the students goals playing level, I formulate a lesson plan that will most accurately develop the skills necessary to achieve their goals. I also strive to incorporate creative ways to keep my students inspired and eager to learn more. Read More

Lisa B

Instruments: Piano Voice

A review of where a student is in their musical journey is done before any lessons are given in order to make a lesson plan designed specifically for them. I inquire as to what the advanced students want to accomplish with their lessons so they can be placed on a path to successfully reach their goals. All students are encouraged to practice in order to reinforce what they have previously learned. Read More

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Euphonium French Horn Tuba English Horn Keyboard

Having Fun is my first method of music. For beginning students, I typically start with buzzing and humming and then start with My Creative Approach to Music Fundamentals,it is equally important that you experience the more creative aspects of music fundamentals, listening, Performing ,and composing activities from the start. This, after all, is the fun side of music; the part that makes all the studying practicing worthwhile. Musicians must practice; it's a fact of life. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Katherine M

Instruments: Piano

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

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.

...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

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.
