Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Harmonica Recorder Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

my teaching style is fun and fast. as each student progresses at their own pace. it is very important to set realistic goals. i motivate kids by giving them stickers for each exercise they passed. and that allows them to study and practice more. after they finish a method book, they receive a certificate of achievement. i can successfully guide students thru any challenges they go thru in the music learning process. that gives them the motivation to keep going. i teach them discipline and to have a consistent practicing schedule.

Instruments: Piano Voice Drums

I encourage regular lesson attendance and practice at home. Consistency is key when learning and developing a new skill set especially when concerning younger students. I feel that the balance of establishing a strong technical foundation and fostering a love for music is fundamental in fostering passion and enthusiasm for new students. I try and find out what the student is interested in and tailor each lesson to their specific needs. 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

Mary L

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer Keyboard

I combine the technique, expression, and performance practices from my teaching line of musical masters with more modern teaching methods to give students a well-rounded music education. I cater each lesson to the individual needs and interests of the student, while giving them a strong technical foundation and fostering their love of music. I use scales, arpeggios, and other methods to help build technique. I also want the student to enjoy what they are performing, so I often ask the student if there are pieces they would like to learn and do my best to find an arrangement suitable to their level of difficulty.

Alona K

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have had five years of music teaching experience and I am interested in the music education substitute position. I have had 11 years of performance experience in musical and opera productions as well as singing lead and playing keyboard in bands and ensembles. I have a passion for music and a desire to help youth, using music as the bridging vessel. No student walks into a school being a blank slate, so it is important to consider their backgrounds, musical and cultural, when finding teaching approaches and building upon the knowledge they have already acquired.

Rebekah S

Instruments: Piano

I require my students to put in the work to make these lessons a worthwhile investment, but I think the most important thing is to retain the joy of taking piano lessons. I don't want practice to feel forced, however I do think there is a certain amount of will power that goes along with learning a skill. Therefore, I require students to do a time minimum of practice appropriate for the age and skill level. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing effectively requires yo to have a specific piece to practice. I know practicing can be frustrating and sometimes overwhelming. That is why I recommend you to take breaks. Make sure you practice as many times as needed until you notice every detail of the song. Master it until you can finally play it and sound right. I personally like practicing other things while trying to learn something new. For instance, you are trying to learn Painting Black. You have spent two hours but still struggling to get every note of the song. Well, practice something else now. Go over a scale, play other chords unrelated to the song. 10 Minutes later practice the song you were trying to learn and I'm sure you'll get it right this time.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your kid has passion for music. If your kid is asking you to take them to the guitar shop. Or if they keep asking you to buy them and instrument, that's when you know your kid is ready to start. Some kids get really interested to learn to play guitar at very young ages. And the younger you learn the easier it is. I got my very first guitar when I was about 1 years of age. However, I was able to start getting lessons until about 3 months after I got it. Education is a key part if you want your kid to succeed as a musician.

When will I start to see results?
The more you practice he better results you will get. If you really commit to learning how to play guitar I can assure you you will start to see results within a few days or weeks. You need to be patient and understand that certain music pieces are complex and complicated. However, you are the one who determines how fast and much you will learn. If you are constantly practicing I would say it'll take you about a week to learn your first riff. That's never having experience or hands on a guitar before. If you had some previous training already, then learning and playing more fluently will be easier for you.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I love music. I love many musicians and music styles. However, I have been my own mentor. As a matter of fact I did take guitar classes when I started learning how to play. My professor as not the best in my opinion and he didn't teach me stuff that would help me improve as a musician. I decided I would take the wheel of my own learning. Since then I have been learning on my own. Everything I know and every "trick" I integrate into my guitar playing has been the product of ours of research and commitment.

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.
