Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Organ Lap Steel Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I started teaching right after I graduated from Berklee. I have worked in studios , but have been self employed for the most part. It’s very rewarding and creative that way. I have played 3,000 performances in my career, which gives me a unique perspective on teaching. I have run rock camps as well. I prepped the singers, drums, bass, keyboards, and guitar players. They had a concert for the parents at the end of the camp. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

The main goal of the lessons is to help the student discover that all laws of music pertain to life; every area of music you explore in the practice room can be applied to situations in the real world, and a deeper love of music will lead you to a deeper love of life. We first must decide what area the student is most apt to explore and make a lesson plan accordingly. Read More

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

My primary goal is to individually assess and direct students toward their most meaningful goals, whether that is professional level performance and composition, prepping for auditions, or just enjoying beginning on the instrument. I often have students work through my Commercial Piano Workbooks, or use jazz worksheets that I have created. My workbooks come with access to free video tutorials and dozens of play-along tracks, which makes for fun, challenging, and highly effective learning. Read More

Instruments: Piano

Every student has unique needs. Any student will succeed if the instruction is tailored to their learning processes. Since every student learns in a different fashion, it is necessary to use both traditional methodology and Suzuki methodology in the studio. Each student is placed in the program that best suits their learning needs. My instruction is an blend of traditional western pedagogy and Suzuki pedagogy that is uniquely customized to the student.

Instruments: Piano

I have taught mostly for friends in the past. I started playing in early age, but didn't start teaching until some high school friends wanted to learn a few things. I really enjoyed helping them break down a problem, I always had a very systems-approach. Recently, I had a female student that was learning pieces for her school's talent show. I helped her understand the underlying technique issues and revisited some basics concerning rhythm and fingering, and she gave me a very positive review for my style. Read More

Sau Yee T

Instruments: Piano

I typical use Alfred's, Piano Adventures or Bastien's Piano Basics for children and I emphasis doing scales/finger exercises. I also encourage ear training. For Intermediate students, I use Bach, Burmuller, and Sonatas. Though I would love to follow books to make sure no fundamental skills/knowledge will be missed, from time to time, I would love to keep students motivated by letting them to pick a song they want to learn (no matter their levels are) and we will be working on that song.

Carly R

Instruments: Piano Violin

I began teaching lessons as early as high school. It started out as a way to mentor younger students in my school district and get them ready for auditions for orchestras in high school. I then began to take other students and continued to do so throughout my undergrad. I have had students ranging from age 3 to age 15 before, but youre never too old to start learning music! A students experience with a teacher can make or break their interest in music. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Bridget H

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Bass Guitar

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I learned flute and some clarinet because they are useful doubles in the world of saxophone playing. Bass is my true love because it allows the sound of the band to come together. Getting the privilege of playing the part that allows the band to sound as one is always inspiring.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I got my degree in Performance because it allows you to learn all of the above. You should know the history of your instrument and genre, the theory of what is being performed, and you should compose if you want to be a performer that speaks eloquently and honestly.,

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
When I have a clear head I work on tone, then scales (technique), time (scales to a metronome) and repertoire. I let myself get creative in repertoire by changing up styles, songs, tempos, etc. I practice each section as long as I can be effective (I don't believe in putting time limits on what I do). If I'm having a rough day, I'll just play whatever I want as it comes to me. It keeps me from getting discouraged and still allows me to play/ practice.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master is technique. Creating efficient technique that will allow you to perform what you hear or want to play is the biggest learning curve for any instrument.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I found my Dad's saxophone at my grandparents and kept trying to make sound out of it until my parents decided it was time for lessons so they didn't have to listen to me squeaking throughout the house. It stuck from there.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm most proud of the different bands I'm in currently. It has allowed me to adapt to all different kinds of genres and see how they connect. It's important to listen to ALL kinds of music and gather your own opinions and interests. That's when good music starts to be made.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
The teacher that inspired me the most was the one that talked about music like it was apart of life. There was no difference between playing and breathing to him. It was just something that lived inside everyone and it was up to you to decide how it fits into your life.

When will I start to see results?
Results will show fairly frequently in the beginning because they are learning so many new ideas and techniques playing an instrument requires. As time goes on results will show by the amount of effort each student puts in. The more they think, listen, and play music, the quicker they will improve.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any child that shows an interest in music or playing is ready.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing is not about sitting down for hours everyday. I suggest practicing once a day for as long as you can be effective. Whether that is 5 minutes or 2 hours, our brains will retain information better through consistency, not quantity.

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.
