Erin R

Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard

My performance experience started at a very young age and consisted of entertaining myself in front of the mirror (at age 2), and creating shows for family. I started doing musicals and concerts at church around age 4 and entered community theatre around age 6. My enthusiasm for the performing arts continued to grow throughout childhood, and my teenage years. I started private Voice lessons at age 16 and studied Musical Theatre at Kent State University for the first two years of college. Read More

Although my methods vary a bit depending on the instrument, the general plan is the same. For beginner students of instruments I focus first on fundamentals, such as finger placement, note names, what makes up chords so forth (again with a high emphasis on practice). I will gladly print out hard copies of chord sheets, note names, songs with chord markers if desired, or can display these digitally! For beginner students of voice, I start by teaching proper breathing, different parts of the voice, warm ups, and assessing the students vocal range. Read More

I love showing students how to work to learn, once they see how work pays off you can't stop them. I have my own Learn To Play Guitar book that I now use as handouts that have vocabulary, open chords, bar chords, inside chords, along with major and relative minor scales. The handouts are in color and done with a graphics program so they're not handwritten. I teach them to play scales with a metronome and they are usually playing 16th notes and counting it out while they play it in the first month. Read More

Kris C

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone

Ive been teaching saxophone and piano lessons professionally for the last 7 years, and have had students go on to play for the Utah All-State Jazz Band and have earned several scholarships. I encourage regular practicing and give weekly assignments that include rudiments, transcription projects, and listening assignments. I focus on the jazz language and how its been applied to modern genres like hip hop, funk, and RnB. My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.

Robert H

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Trumpet

For beginning students I generally use the Suzuki books and have had some training in the method. I don't use a strict Suzuki method but combine it with a more traditional approach by including note reading, scales, etc. I also use the Faber books in conjunction with the Suzuki for piano. For adults I generally give them the option of choosing the music they would like to learn and then try to incorporate some of the technical elements by using scales and Hanon exercises. Read More

Lauren A

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Flute Clarinet

It is important to me that my students gain the necessary knowledge and skills to be able to continue making music after lessons with me end. I want to make sure that they develop a strong foundation for music understanding and are able to apply it to their chosen instrument. Read More

Kaycie S

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I began teaching lessons in college. Most of my early students were elementary-school aged and novice. There, I learned that regular practice must be encouraged to allow interest to begin to pique and passion begin to form. I firmly believe that hard work and discipline go much further than talent alone. I also firmly believe in fun! My most deeply seeded goal is for my students to develop a life-long love and practice of music! Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Brad B

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Synthesizer Keyboard

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
1. Warmup - Scales (5 min) 2. Practicing hard spots very slowly, hands separate, counting out loud, with a metronome (10 min) 3. Playing all assigned songs and recording them and listening back (10 min) 4. Music Theory Book Assignments (2 min) 5. Playing 1-2 of your favorite songs you've learned so far This practice routine can be expanded or contracted. It's important to practice in a room with no distractions like tv, people talking, or other music being played. It's also important to practice everyday if you can. Your teacher can tell if you didn't practice very much, but you still need to go to your lesson regardless if you practiced or not. The better prepared you are the more you can learn and move forward.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in Music Performance because I wanted be able to be a performing artist and studio musician. I'm also a lifelong learner in Music Production, Composition, Business, Marketing. It doesn't stop just after you get your degree. In fact, you really start your "Real World Education" when you start making a living performing, studio work, teaching, managing money, setting goals, developing "People" skills. The thing I love about learning to play the piano is that you have to FOCUS on learning to play for "LONG Periods Of Time". I've spend over 50,000+ hours of practicing the piano, performing, rehearsing, composing, producing, recordings, planning. You have to devote yourself to a lifelong pursuit of playing and development. "TALENT" is developed over "LONG" periods of time without quitting.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece is playing music that I'm currently working on. How much do I practice that piece? I practice it until I can literally play it while sleeping or dreaming. When I can play a piece and drift off to sleep and start dreaming, and I can still play the piece on "Auto-Pilot", then I'm playing my "Dream Piece". When you mastered a song to the point that it is effortless, you are playing your "Dream Piece". I have practiced songs so much that I can drift off to dream, or have a conversation with someone, or read a newspaper article and my hands continue to play. That is when I know I've practiced a piece enough.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician, I'd probably be doing something else that I developed an interest and passion for. I think trying different things and activities is a good thing, and pursuing the ones you really really love because anything that you want to become good at requires a lot of time developing that before you start getting paid to do it. At one time in my life, I wanted to be an NBA Basketball player. I used to practice shooting basketball for hours, and then hours lifting weights, and hours doing drills. I loved it, unfortunately I stopped growing when I was in 6th grade, and all my other friends kept growing and getting taller, stronger, and faster.

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.
