Lora M

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Recorder Euphonium Tuba Mallet Percussion

For beginning students I believe it's important for them to begin playing the first day. I get the students to make their first sound and teach the technique and theory as they learn their instrument. For beginning voice students I use the same method, but I like to use a song that the student knows. For students with experience I like to have them play or sing something they know and I evaluate that and I will work with them on that song and build their technique. Read More

Emi Lee F

Instruments: Piano Voice

Each of my students learns to read music, practices sight singing, and learns solfege. In my opinion, these are the neccessary fundamentals to being a great singer AND musician! Each student also does warm ups including breathing exercises, vocal technique exercises, and vocalises. Picking repertoire is always a lot of fun, and the choice of song is a shared decision between teacher and student! I try to tailor the lesson and approach to each individual student. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Viola Music Keyboard

écoutez et répétez. Translation: hear and repeat. There is simply no better methodology in grasping and understanding an instructor’s directions so that a student, no matter what the age, can progress confidently and successfully. In addition, theoretical and historical subject matter is also introduced appropriately to keep him or her engaged continuously. Performances throughout the year, which include solos, duos, trios, and quartets will further inspire the student to progress even further. Read More

I am an experienced, energetic teacher interested in meeting students at their level, learning about their goals and interests, and tailoring a lesson program that will challenge and excite them in the right ways. I have been teaching piano and voice since graduating from Northwestern University, and I've also worked as a music director and consultant on multiple professional productions in Chicago. As a piano teacher, I have successfully taught students just starting out through those at the intermediate to advanced level. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Music Keyboard

In singing lessons students learn vocal techniques, musicianship skills, performance skills, and songs of their choice. Music games are played with younger students. Piano students. Piano lessons consist of technique such as scales chords arpeggios etc, repertoire, and music theory! I'm also open to working on songwriting, improvisation etc. I start beginner piano students off with Piano Adventures Primer Level along with A Dozen a Day for technique. If you have any questions feel free to contact me! Read More

Instruments: Guitar

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.
