Christina H

Instruments: Piano Voice Cello Bass Guitar Keyboard

As I have previously stated, I tailor my lessons to each individual student in order to maximize their learning potential. Yes, I do usually assign one piece that will be good for them to learn even if it is not their favorite song to play, but the rest of the time I make sure that it is music they are going to enjoy. If a student loves Disney songs, then you can bet that's going to be an assignment. Read More

Kasey K

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Bass Guitar Harmonica Mandolin Electric Violin Fiddle Double Bass

I use a very concise methodology in my instruction. I evaluate the students level, from there I make a step by step guide (of selected piece and etudes) to show the student their progress into the next level. I also encorperate ideas in theory, history, and ear training. Also if the student has yet to learn how to read musical notation. that will be taught along side with regular instrumental lessons.

PJ C

Instruments: Piano

My teaching style depends very much on what your goal is in deciding to learn to play piano. I can teach you how to play classical piano, piano improvisation, piano accompaniment, or how to play in a certain style with a musical group. Your goal as a student determines the approach we take. That being said, typically, I take a three pronged approach toward teaching: 1. Theory; teach the fundamentals of sight reading and music theory in small increments and apply them by creating custom musical exercises. 2. Read More

Rachel A

Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo

I began teaching flute lesson when I was a sophomore in high school in 2010 by helping middle school students, as well as other high school students, to prepare for band auditions. I taught throughout my time in college as well. I took a short break after graduating with my master's but have since returned to teaching in the Rockwall area. I have also taught in larger group settings, working with marching band flute sections and flute choir. Read More

LaTorri R

Instruments: Piano Drums

For beginning students I typically start with fundamentals and basic sticking or chording. For experienced students I begin with what they know and look for areas of strength. Read More

Julie D

Instruments: Piano

I do ask my students to set a goal and work to reach it. Furthermore, I do ask, but not require, my students to participate and perform in recitals - I have found recitals to be an invaluable teaching tool. My goal is for the student to enjoy their lessons so they stick with their piano lessons until it flows naturally and they hear the music - then they are hooked! Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Rene R

Instruments: Cello

When will I start to see results?
Good work produces a good wage. If you practice your lesson material regularly, and are disciplined to practicing at least 30 minutes per day, you will see gradual progress. If you commit to practicing 45-60 minutes per day, and follow your teacher's lesson plans, progress will come more quickly.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
A roommate in college got me interested in classical guitar, and so I took a few lessons and play a little classical guitar from time to time.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My parents enjoy music, but never learned to play an instrument. My brother, however, is a talented violinist and violist.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Well, I'm a musician, but I still have to work as a nurse to make an adequate living in Honolulu. Many talented musicians do other jobs to meet their needs and therefore not have the pressure of having to make all your funds as a musician.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite type of music to play is baroque music of the late 17th and 18 centuries. I especially love the Italian baroque music, the music of Vivadi, Corelli, Monteverdi, Geminiani. And I love French baroque music, the music of Francois and Louis Couperin, Marais, and Rameau. My favorite, however, is Bach, whose music is the zenith of the baroque era.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Devote your practice time to improving what you feel needs to improve. With difficult passages, be patient and start by practicing these parts very slowly, then gradually increase speed or tempo as you gain control of the passage.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child is genuinely interested in playing an instrument, he or she will be sincere about it. However, choosing to play an instrument involves assuming responsibility, and you will then have to talk with your child about their willingness to be disciplined and practice regularly. If they are not able or committed to practice 30 minutes per day, then the decision to start lessons should be postponed.

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 bachelors of music degree in cello performance. I fell into this course of study naturally, having been awarded a full scholarship to the San Francisco Conservatory of Music's preparatory division for grade school students at age 11.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I love the Bach cello suites, which are difficult to play as they require considerable skill and technical prowess to really sound special. Without solid technical mastery, it is difficult to play these masterworks well.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Before the practice session even starts, I have an action plan or a menu of what to cover. In other words, the practice session content is pre-determined and planned. This way the practice session is succinct and organized. The brain learns more easily when the practice activity is structured, instead of being random or haphazard.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I learned through the Suzuki method, a very basic method which focuses on learning simple, fundamental concepts and techniques, and then building upon those fundamentals in a step-by-step progressive fashion. However, other teaching methods, such as Hal Leonard's string lesson books, are also effective, and similar to the Suzuki method.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Keeping the bow hand and the fingering hand supple, smooth and controlled during recital performances. When I lacked experience, sometimes my bow would have a slight nervous trembling during recital performances. I later learned that this was barely noticeable to the audience, but to myself it felt like an earthquake was happening. Experience with playing in front of other people eventually cures this, because the experience becomes more familiar and less stressful.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
As a child cello player, I am proud of the fact that after one year of instruction, I was able to write my own short solo cello composition and perform it at a recital event. It gave me a sense of accomplishment at a very young age. I believe I was 8 or 9 when this happened.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Because of my military career, I moved frequently, and I have not had time to really develop and nurture a student the way I would have liked to. I look forward to this opportunity now and in the days ahead.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the cello because of my brother's love of the cello and his introducing me to the instrument and giving me my first cello instruction.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My older brother is a violinist and introduced me to classical music at a very young age. One day he brought home a small cello from his school and gave me my first lesson. I fell in love with the instrument immediately, and so I am very grateful to my brother for his mentorship and getting me started on the cello.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I always wanted to be a professional musician, since middle school and high school.

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.
