Gabriel A

Instruments: Piano Drums Bass Guitar Organ

I do that by simply finding out what they enjoy. And when I find what they love I teach it to them. For ex. teaching them how to play their favorite songs or to play the theme song from their favorite tv show. Small things like this are what keeps students engaged and exited about lessons. The excited created bring pure joy to students and that joy bring peace and happiness to me. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums

First I think it is important to get to know the student and chat about what their intentions are musically. Then I can customize a lesson plan for them which includes warming up, techniques, and repertoire. I sometimes find it helpful to discuss of elements music theory, aural skills, and reading music depending on the students desires in those areas. I strive to motivate students by picking material they are excited about. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Drums Bass Guitar Keyboard

I normally create a lesson plan that develop the student skills yet keep them interested in wanting to learn more about music not just a whole lot of theory. I also believe, the best way is hands on work. (Practical learning) I keep the lesson interesting and the syllabus simple for learn whatever it is I'm teaching with homework for practice. I enjoy creating lesson plans that I read from other books and use the books to help demonstrate and support the lesson I'm teaching. and to follow the guidelines for teaching. Read More

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I use various methods to help students become independent artists and I take pleasure in discovering the most effective method to approach each student. First, I take an intellectual approach when students learn a new piece. I expect students to understand historical background of composer and piece before they actually read music notes. This approach allows students to develop appropriate stylistic interpretations and to articulate their own thoughts. During lesson time, I always ask students how they want to lead performance in music. Read More

Emi Lee F

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have loved singing since I could first talk! I grew up singing in choirs, shows, and church. When I attended the Governor's School for the Arts in Norfolk, VA for high school, I realized that music and singing would be my career path for life. There, I was classically trained and learned to sing opera. I went on to complete my Bachelor's degree and Master's degree in voice. I am excited to have moved to Chicago with my husband, Sean.

Natalie A

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Saxophone Clarinet Recorder Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I am goofy kind of gal who is a kid at heart so, while I do not allow the students to goof-off during practice, I definitely encourage the children to have fun and take breaks. Learning a new skill is taxing on the brain so I do enjoy inserting some brain-breaks here and there, when necessary. I'm also a very big sticker advocate! Most children enjoy them, and I love rewarding them after completing a song we've been working on. Read More

Elizabeth S

Instruments: Piano

I enjoy introducing new material as it adds a variety of options and color to really discover their style as they continue to grow. It is highly important from the very beginning to set the stage for them to truly love what they do and everything else will come out of that. Also, I have worked with students to prepare them at their schools for adjudications for solo ensembles and thoroughly enjoy the process of preparation to performance. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Marjorie L

Instruments: Piano

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The piano was the first instrument that I played after that there was no debate. The piano should be the first choice of instruments for all parents because of the following reasons: It uses both hands and all 10 fingers By using both hands in unison the piano helps to correct mirror movement tendencies The piano develops aural skills The brain processes music and language in the same regions and at the same time and at one location they actually overlap. Therefore, when playing the piano the brain is developing and integrating: language spatial-temporal reasoning skills and many more too numerous too list here.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My Senior Recital Performance when I played 30 minutes of Bach, Chopin, Mozart, and 30 minutes of Rachmaninov piano repertoire, as well as my performances at Southern Seminary with internationally known Dr Maurice Hinson. In addition to my personal successful performances, my best performances are those of my students performing Rachmaninov Prelude in G# minor, or 6.5 year old autistic child on the autism spectrum playing at a recital at Butler University, as well as a student performing Aram Khachaturian's Toccata in E flat minor at Indiana University Young Pianist Program Recital.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
One of my students was invited to attend a piano camp at Indianan University, at the conclusion of the camp, 3 weeks later, he was invited to play in the honours recital there. Later he won a full-tuition scholarship for Texas Christian University and was invited to study piano there with the director of the Van Cliburn International Chopin Competition. He made his debut in Carnegie Hall in the spring of 2018, and prior to that, he made his first CD of Alexander Tansman's music. Many of my students win first place in piano competitions, play for jazz bands and praise bands at their schools and churches. My GREATEST honour, however, is when my students with autism or other developmental disorders, and cerebral palsy as well, walk on stage and play their solos with pride. That is the ultimate honour!

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The greatest challenge that I have when performing on a piano is learning the feel of the instrument, learning it's "voice", tone quality, touch, response, action, the pedal condition in order to learn to master the instrument to make it do and say what the composer intended. Each piano is different, the touch, the mechanisms, and the pitch also, which requires a firm hand and familiarity with that instrument. Playing PPP is very difficult to play soft and still hear it, then make the tone sound like a bell, or a human voice: very difficult.

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.
