Benjamin D

Instruments: Piano Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard

As an educator it is my goal for students to be able to communicate through the language of music. Whether the student is a beginner or advanced, the first thing they will be taught is to listen and respond. Ive always believed that the best way to learn music is as if you are learning a foreign language. When learning a language, one is given a small amount of vocabulary, they learn what it means, and practice using it in conversations. Read More

Instruments: Piano Clarinet

My teaching experience dated back to my college days, as I began teaching wind ensembles. I have been invited to help coach over 20 bands in the Osaka area, many times helping them reach gold medals at competitions such as the All-Japan Band Competition. I have of course also participated as a band and wind ensemble member many times, including the Osaka Shion Wind Ensemble and the Japan Wind Ensemble. In addition to band coaching, I have been teaching students in my private studio. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums

I love seeing my students excited about music. I like students to bring in music they feel passionate about so we can break it down and start to understand what makes it work. I find it important to set goals, adjust goals when things arent working and celebrate them when they are. Because of the great instruction I have had in my life, I understand the importance of being a teacher. Read More

I have 3 years of teaching experience and 10 years of experience as a performer. I love making and sharing music with others, and I find it extremely rewarding to see a student grow and develop as a musician. I take a calm approach to teaching and work with students according to their goals. Students can bring any music they would like to learn, and I think music should be fun to learn! Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Sinclair A

Instruments: Voice

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was first inspired by Mr. Lawrence Lohman, my high school choir director. He also taught voice classes, which made me excited to sing. He helped me conquer my fear of singing in front of a crowd, as well as helped me understand what works for my voice and what does not. I also had the inspiration from David Leighton, who further guided me with the technique that I first learned from Mr. Lohman. What I loved about David's teaching was how passionate he was for every aria he provided me. His knowledge about the background of the piece was fascinating to me, and made me even more thrilled to sing the piece. Another incredible inspiration was Franco Bertacci. Hearing his voice and seeing how easy it can be to teach was empowering to me. He made me feel I could sing at my full potential in the simplest way. I have studied his techniques and have provided it into my own teaching.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I feel when it comes to practicing, it is important to sing/hear the exercises in the correct way, as well as the incorrect way. This will help the student understand how the sound should feel in their voice, as well as in their body. They will notice right away if something does not feel right, whether it is tension somewhere on the mouth, an uncomfortable segment change, or there is a lack of energy. It is also important to practice effectively in order to keep the voice progressing. It is easy to forget to practice or to not care for it, but making time for yourself to warm up will make the voice feel incredible when it is time to sing songs.

When will I start to see results?
Usually, students will start to notice results in the first lesson. They can feel the difference in the voice right away when trying out new techniques. For long term results and a full expansion of the voice, this will take years to develop. However, as long as the practice is maintained and the passion is there, the results will continuously happen. This style of teaching is great for consistent progress and comfort in the voice. Often times, a student will not hear the progress the way the teacher does. I will always let the student know if I hear a change in the voice.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I feel any child is ready for lessons once their interest for an instrument has piqued. A great way to encourage your child for lessons is to have them watch videos of their favorite musician. Your child can watch the musician's hand play an instrument, watch them sing in a microphone, or they can hear a song that makes them want to play/sing just like them! Another way to help your child be prepared is having them find a song they want to work on. If they have a favorite song, it can encourage them to want to improve the song and give them ideas for making it sound the way they want it to be!

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.
