Eliza-Jane M

Instruments: Piano Voice Viola Saxophone

For beginning voice students, I focus on opening and relaxing the throat by way of diaphragm support and healthy, strong breathing. These are the fundamentals of good singing, regardless of the style.We work on these techiniques with both vocal exercises and repertoire.From there, I focus on the student's quality of tone and helping them find their "natural voice." The best singers use their authentic sound, and are not a second-rate imitation of someone else. Read More

Marjorie L

Instruments: Piano

One of my greatest joys in life is observing a joy in piano! Therefore I strive to administer the elements of music to the student's learning style, how they would use piano for their own enjoyment and for their families enjoyment. Each student is different with different goals, desires, learning styles, and objectives. Teaching according to the individual's learning style, expectations, desires, and goals is critical in piano development. The teacher must discard the concern for only the superior students in his studio because some students have learning impairments and put the individual first. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Gerson M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Electric Guitar

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on my instrument is speed. When you obtain the speed that you want to obtain and want to apply it in many different songs it makes a big difference. Speed playing makes a difference in beat, soloing, and memorizing different songs. That is what it is hard to master. It is something that you would acquire throughout time and just throughout practice. Another thing that is hard to master is to learn step by step on what exactly you want to play. IT is hard for beginners and when i was a beginner I did not know until I practiced and practiced. I eventually got use to my instrument.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I do use a specific teaching methods and that is through listening, utube tutorials and through music theory. I choose ear training since ear training is a fabulous ability that most people want to acquire. It is an easy ability that I have. I taught a lot of people about ear training and that it's benefits about ear training. One of the reasons is that you as a musician would have better performance and better accuracy. I choose utube since a lot of people have the ability to learn visually. By watching you have a better picture of what exactly you want to play. Finally, I choice music theory since that's where all the principals of music is at. You get to learn a lot about music theory and get to also teach about what you learned.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice for me is preparing every instrument I have at my control and hanging out with friends or students. Helping them choose the structure of their song and where they want to take their own song. Preparing the sound, equipment, and lights. Every practice session should have a light and music sheets hanging on their wall. Many artists that inspire them and guitars, pianos, many books about music. It has to be sound prove and their should be total silence when entering the room. In the end you are the one that gets to manage how you would want to manage your own practice session.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
If I had a degree it would be on Music teacher. Ever since I was a kid i always had the desire and passion to teach music to anyone one at any age. My biggest dream was to become a music teacher and to teach music of my own knowledge and my own understanding of music. I started realizing that through out time i wanted this job since it was a job that I would stick with it for the rest of my life knowing that I impacted many children and teenager's lives throughout my music and my music lessons.

Here’s a short documentary on her:     The late 70s and early 80s gave birth to a number of all-female rock bands- many had female drummers worthy of mention, but here are a couple I consider particularly notable:   Gina Schock   Formed in 1978 in LA’s bourgeoning punk scene, the Go-Go’s quickly turned to a bright pop/ new wave sound for their first record in 1981. ...

But if you keep at it, in a slow and steady way, you’ll work new learning grooves into your brain and you’ll see your technique develop – without the danger of injury.   How Long Do You Practice?
