Terence T

Instruments: Piano

My teaching style is instruction, encouragement and assignment. I will teach a concept and then encourage the student as they attempt to master the skill. I will then assign that concept and skill as homework. After the student masters that concept I will introduce another concept that builds upon the previous one. During each quarter of the year a piece of music is assigned where those concepts are necessary to perform the piece. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Harmonica Recorder Keyboard

I have taught all grades Pre-K all the way through 12, and have taught guitar, harmonica, and piano to learners from age 7 up to 60 and beyond. I have creative ways of communicating my thoughts to my students, allowing them to think beyond the familiar and truly understand music in a unique way. My lessons with my students are individualized, and designed to cater to student's unique abilities in lieu of a one-size-fits all approach. Read More

Skye S

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Piccolo Mallet Percussion Music Keyboard

I believe that music students are not "one size fits all", so I create an individual approach catered to each student's strengths, weaknesses, and interests. For beginners, I typically start with the very basics such as putting the instrument together(if applicable), posture/form, and fingerings. Then, I will cater my teaching materials to the student and their situation, which sometimes means the majority of their work is print materials. Read More

Lindsay T

Instruments: Piano

My preparation for each student helps me to be the best I can be when each student arrives for a lesson. I set short and long-term goals for students, and always give my best. I have a variety of materials, music and teaching tools ready to make each lesson meaningful and helpful. I'm always patient and try to present concepts in a variety of ways to reach different learning styles. Read More

Catherine K

Instruments: Piano Clarinet Recorder Bassoon

This usually leads to a mixture of classical, contemporary and jazz or musical theatre. I believe that a student needs to be enjoying their lessons and their practice and if they do then they will make the most progress. I make my lessons fun and encourage students to perform whenever they get the opportunity. Performing is a great motivator as is playing in a band or orchestra. Playing music brings something special to every students life and I’m always looking to help share the music with new students both young and old! Read More

Danielle N

Instruments: Piano Clarinet

 I have even been able to tour abroad in Venezuela, Brazil and Austria.  I have been fortunate to work with many wonderful musicians and conductors along the way, and would love to pass my knowledge on to you! During my teenage years, I was privileged to study piano with former Russian concert pianist Sergei Arzoumanov, who led me through the rigors of European Classical training.  Although I chose to major in clarinet performance in college, I continued to study piano with doctoral students at the Conservatory, and love to teach it!

Teacher In Spotlight

Giovanni N

Instruments: Piano Drums Latin Percussion Music Keyboard

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I have multiple dream pieces to perform. I would like to perform a piano adaptation of the Toccata and Fugue in D minor from Bach because its level and independence requirements are fundamental for any professional. Furthermore, its complexity and passion is unique. In the drum I would like to play the iconoclast by Symphony X because its complexity.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I have a cousin with no proper musical formation that is a composer and keyboard player. Other than that, I am the only musician in my family.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was in a choir rehearsal when I was 12 years old. I saw the principal of my elementary school conducting with such passion that I felt Inspired. It was then when I decided to dedicate my life to music.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play the keyboard because I needed to learn how to play in order to get graduated from collage. Eventually, I fell in love of the spiritual sound of this instrument and I keep playing by my own.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I think I would be a programmer, publicist or graphic designer. I am very creative but I really like technology, so I think It would be something related to art or computers.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I like to play baroque in the keyboard because its rhythm and composition are very logic and mathematically precise. In the drum I like to play rock and metal music because of its energy. I like the adrenaline I feel when I am playing but I like to play jazz too because I like to improvise.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music, Mention: Musicology. I chose this subject because it mix human sciences with my passion: Music. In this career you can study society and human nature through the organization and conception of sounds.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
2 minutes of each scale and rudiments from quarter notes to Sixty-fourth notes just to warm up. Then, 30 minutes minimum of exercises to improve independence.After that, one hour to study the piece.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes, the guide I use for the drum are "The modern guide for the modern drummer" by Riley and the "stick control for the snare" by Lawrence. For piano I use "El metodo Elemental y Progresivo" by Carpenter and for music language I use "The Pozzoli"

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Probably precision and technique. Even the most professionals instrumentalists have problems with the tempo and their techniques. Sometimes you get too excited playing the drum, It is when you lose on of both.
