Seth T

Instruments: Piano

I tailor my method selection to suit the needs of the student. With so many wonderful methods out there, what it comes down to is what will help the student learn the most! I highly emphasize Music Theory and Aural Skills; I believe that students should understand what they are playing. This understanding leads to more accurate performances and more solid memorization skills. I try to keep the student's musical education moving forward steadily at whatever pace the student learns best. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar

My teaching experience dates back to my college days when I began tutoring other students in 2001. After graduating in 2003 I transitioned to private lessons and have been teaching ever since. Regular practice on a consistent basis is one of the main points I emphasize to my students. It helps them progress and gain a passion for their instrument. A combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy their instrument and motivate them to continue learning. Read More

Daniel K

Instruments: Piano

Since I was inspired to play piano by ear after hearing a Mozart piano sonata when I was five, my love of music brought me to many places performing professionaly, whether it's a Dvorak trio, a big band standard, or a Daft Punk cover.  I began my formal training at the Cleveland Institute of Music for eleven years, while also studying violin, percussion, trumpet, and composing along the way.  Beginning by performing as a freelance accompanist, church organist, and teaching piano at Baldwin - Wallace College, I've gone on to play at the University of Connecticut Chamber Music Festival in 2009, and earned my Master's in piano performance in 2010.

Danae A

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello

I have been teaching for over 15 years and I love watching students grow in their musical abilities. I get so excited when the passion comes out of them into their playing. I got my Bachelors in music performance on cello, but I started on piano and violin when I was six years old. I have performed all over Northeastern Ohio and it was a great experience being able to share the love of music with other people. Read More

When will I start to see results?
Learning anything takes 10% theory and 90% practice. As long as the student consistently dedicates the 15min a day, the results will be immediate. The secret is to approach the daily 15min practice as a pleasure and not a chore. In that regards, my specialty is to get the student motivated and on fire to get to see results. With regular practice, I expect a student starting from nothing to start see very tangible results starting from 3 months. Chords form the basis of my teaching because they allow the student to play entire songs, and these can be played in all types of settings, family, friends, professional, etc. When the student notices how he can move people with his chords and have them singing and actually share musical moments of joy, he gets even more motivated to learn more, and that's the guitar snowball effect.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
As long as the child likes music and will not have any external issue with dedicating 15min daily, I consider him to be ready. As a matter of fact, there is no right age to start. In fact, children are much more capable of over-achieving themselves because they have not developed self-limiting beliefs. Therefore, all a child needs are guidance and mentorship that will spark the light inside of him to get to learn things and envision himself as an actual player. Children do not need to have specific target songs to play. They would start with the basic music fundamentals, with tablature reading, and with playing simple classical tunes. From there, he would learn

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
In general: In the beginning, focus on learning all chords, and practice changing your hand position from a chord to another. In addition, get a good handle on rhythm and temp, and rigorously use the metronome if needed. When practicing existing songs: Play slow first with the metronome. Focus on correcting the weak elements. Gradually increase speed. Once playing at comfortable speed, play alongside the music, and record yourself. For more advanced players: Focus on improvising, because that's where your skills will take it to the master level, your creativity will explode and you become a self-reliant musician who can play anything anytime anywhere. When jamming with a band or other musicians, make sure you are well grounded with the rhythm and the tempo. Start playing basic. Slowly and gradually change things, alter nuances and add your own signatures. Do NOT EVER panic if you play a wrong note or tone, simply feint it and move, because it is most likely that nobody would have noticed it anyways, and besides, blue notes are part of the game. Last words: Do NOT get discouraged, as it took me several years just to be able to play a basic song from end to end. All you need is a consistent 15min of practice, ideally daily, but at least every other day. Once you learn, not only you cannot unlearn, but your progress speeds up at an impressive rate, and suddenly, after a few months, you end up playing lots of songs.

Saxophone duets have a multitude of musical benefits. Now, I always make sure to include duets as an essential part of my teaching curriculum.     The Benefits of Saxophone Duets Saxophone duets are more than just “the fun part of the lesson.” They teach many different aspects of playing, all at once.

Many famous Italian operas feature leggiero or lyric tenor roles, and the tenor is often both the hero and love interest. Some famous roles include Romeo from Gounod’s Romeo and Juliet and Figaro from the Paisiello Barber of Seville.   Spinto tenors possess the same range as a lyric tenor, but the voice carries more weight–it is less warm and more heavy. Oftentimes a lyric tenor will transition to a Spinto voice type as they get older. Spinto opera voice ... Read More

Although Paul McCartney himself wasn’t going through relational hardship, it was difficult for him to watch his friends John and Cynthia Lennon go through a divorce (a result of John’s affair with Yoko Ono). Perhaps more difficult than the divorce was the fact that the Lennons had a son, Julian, whom Paul was close to.   While on his way to visit the Lennons, McCartney wrote a tune called “Hey Jules” to help console Julian Lennon. Thus “Hey Jude” was born. The seven-minute song went on to become the ... Read More

We found a used “Victor Borge” Pedigree Bosendorfer Model 275 concert grand piano for under $50,000, but these types of pianos would probably retail between $130,000 and $170,000. The manufacturer’s price sits at $210,000.   A Steinway and Sons Model D concert grand will run you close to $150,000, and if you have $175,000 to burn, you can own a brand new 9 ft. concert grand from Yamaha.   Safe to say that depending on the size concert grand you ...

While the former is much more cost effective, the latter offers a great range of options for many different budgets.   Systems like the TASCAM DP-008EX or BOSS BR-800 are simple plug in and record options that can offer decent-enough quality for an at-home demo. You will, however, need to purchase the necessary microphones, and depending on which device you are using, you may need a computer in order to put the recordings on a CD.   Seen as the more professional option, setting up a home studio can be expensive, but the value that it can provide is worth the cost. ...
