Seeing my students develop thier own love for music is something that thrills me to my very core. If I have helped a student convey who they are through music, and have them become excited to share that with others, I have done my job well. I will work with each student to set goals for their piano career, and seek to find out what drives thier passion and love for music so that they can be fulfilled.I will talior my teaching style fo fit each student's needs Each student is challenged to practice a minimum of 4-5 times a week 30-60 minutes for each time because practice inspires passion.

I've been teaching for around 2 and a half years. I started by just teaching my friends and one summer I was given the opportunity to teach at the United Conservatory Of Music. After I decided that I would like to start my own private studio. I always welcome new students of all ages, I have taught kids as young as 4 years old and also worked with people who are older than 60. Read More

My teaching method include a combination of technique, artistry, interpretation, expression, musicality, and repertoire. This approach attempts to build synthesis and synergy between the different elements of musicmaking—both vocal and instrumental: the development and honing of sound technique provided a basis for informed and tasteful musicality as well as, by extension, effective and meaningful interpretation and performance of literature. At the same time, an awareness of and attention to expression, emotion, and interpretation informs the building and practice of technique, giving it context and artistic function. Read More

Each student is different and I try to cater to each individual's learning style. For little ones and young musicians, I use a game board with all kinds of fun music activities and tasks to land on and play. I'm a fan of the Alfred instructional book series especially for beginners. Depending on what each student would like to achieve, I like to plan out a timeline to stay on track. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
My name is Marc and I am a choir teacher in Central California. As a motivated voice instructor, I enjoy working with all types of voices. As one of my voice teachers always stated, "Singing is a journey of self-discovery", and I get to help others on the journey. I have performed in various musical settings including musical theater, choir, opera, and with orchestra. I strive to make learning about the student (that makes learning more enjoyable, right?).

When I was teaching piano for younger children, the first books for piano started out with John Thompson. as that was the biggest name in learning piano. Adults, of course, are more advanced readers, and sometimes they need books that are more on their level. Voice students should start out at least around 10, since their vocal chords will be maturing, and they will need training in breathing. I like to try the first lesson with just breathing exercises and vocal techniques, so that when we finally get to a song, it will be easy to test the range. Read More
Instruments: Drums
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
The decission to be a professional musician came very gradually to me. I was always told to have a back up plan and that there is no money to be made as a musician, so I went the typical route of getting a "real job". However, It's important to me that I be passionate about my work, and there is nothing that I am more passionate about than being involved in music. So, I made the decission to be a full time professional , and I have never been happier!
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
All of my uncles can either sing and/or play guitar. They were the first to teach me about music and what the drummer's role in a band is. Family gatherings were always a lot of fun when I was growing up. They would often turn in to jam sessions and sing alongs!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play guitar too. It was actually the first instrument I ever tried to play, but it didn't quite come as naturally to me as the drums. Eventually, in my teenager years I picked the guitar up again as I wanted to start writing songs. I also enjoy singing. I think being a singer and a guitarists helps me be a better drummer because I can uunderstand the members of my band better.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I worked in the the tech industry for a very long time. I was relatively successful, and made decent money. So, I could do that. I probably would be doing that if I wasn't a musican, but I'd much rather be making music any day!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I enjoy all styles of music. I think I'm probably best at pop and rock music. One of my bands performs a tribute to The Beatles which is a lot of fun! The songs are classic and the drum parts are some of the best ever imagined.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Probably "Aja" by Steely Dan. It combines everything that I enjoy about music: tension, polyrhythms and simply a great melody and memorable lyrics. The drums were originally performed by Steve Gadd, who is a master at using technique and still allowing music to "feel good".
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I always start with a warm up on a practice pad. This is a good way to warm up and to "check in" with your body. From there I like to review techniques, exercies or music that has been worked on previously and take inventory on progress that has been made and what needs to be worked on. I end every practice session (And lesson) with a few minutes of creativity. Simpoly play whatever is on your mind and in your heart!
