Jacob P

Instruments: Piano Guitar

Flowing between the presentation of new information and the actual active playing music is very important to the way I conduct lessons. Especially for the young, I place much more emphasis on facilitating musical experiences rather than the integration of musical nomenclature and conceptualization. When we learn to speak, our ears guide us first, and we imitate. Writing and reading comes later. I've found that this pertains to music as well, if not even moreso. Read More

Lauren G

Instruments: Piano Voice Clarinet

My name is Lauren and I am a voice and piano instructor who has the goal of not only improving your voice or piano skill, but also improving your confidence and presence on stage. My love of music dates back to my early childhood and it has been a dream come true getting to share it with budding musicians both young and old. I have had the opportunity to work with some extraordinary musicians in my career and have come to understand the importance of not only teaching solos but also coming together as a team. Read More

Stefan F

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Synthesizer Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

If a student is losing interest in learning I would brainstorm and adapt my teaching style to be more relatable to their learning style. I encourage my students to use skills they learn in our lessons to compose produce original music, perform with friends, perform in local music recitals concerts and simply have fun with what they've learned! I've taught students from 6 years of age to adults and believe music is a joy deserving for people of any race, gender and age! Read More

Isabelle D

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba

I really try to work with the student with where they are at or where they want to go with their music. I was a slow learner on piano, so I can understand how confusing and frustrating it can be at times to learn an instrument. I really work to make sure that the students under stand the basics because that will outlast me when I am long gone from their life. Read More

Maricel E

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Viola Mandolin Recorder Orchestral Percussion Music

It is my joy seeing my students learn from me and become successful in their musical journey. I help my students discover and develop their skill and talent in music. I always encourage my students to go beyond their comfort zone; to show their talents in music, and to share it to the community. I also incorporate games in my teaching. I also give my students an opportunity to choose the music they want to learn and teach it to get their interest. Read More

Dana S

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

Ive been teaching music since I was a teenager. Ive taught at various music schools in New York and also California. Ive worked with very young beginners as well as seniors who are beginning. Ive worked with people who have all kinds of learning and physical disabilities. I really love teaching (people who want to be taught and who love music). I dont love people who are being forced to take lessons. Read More

Pete E

Instruments: Piano Drums Organ Synthesizer

I have no hard strict rules when it comes to teaching, because every student is different and they all learn at different speeds in different ways. I've taught out of the following books: Bastien Piano Basics Alfred Piano Method Faber Method John Thompson's Teaching Little Fingers to Play For more advanced students, I'm open to spending on time on whatever concepts they most want to cover. I also have a broad repetoire of jazz and classical as well as modern pop, rock, and even country and TV Themes to select from if the student has a specific style or song in mind.  Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Lauren P

Instruments: Piano Voice

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session for me for voice consists of starting with breathing exercises, moving into a mid-high range easy scale drill, then I warm up my lower voice with a bel canto drill. After that I use exercises to pinpoint problems with the voice, nasality, annunciation, etc and work on those for at least 30 minutes. The rest of my practice sessions consists of working on repertoire, whether that is rehearsing problem phrases, working on diction, phrasing, etc. I will also do at least one run through of each piece. For piano, I usually will warm up my hands with scales and will jump into RH only then LH only practice on repertoire and then will work BH together until it feels comfortable.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My BA and MM are both in Vocal Performance. I chose this because I didn't want to teach in a classroom setting long term and the area I was living in had very few music jobs open, so Music Ed didn't feel right. My undergrad didn't have a Theory, Musicology, Composition, or Other music degree available. It was either Performance, Education, or a General Music degree that was only allowed for people double majoring with another field of study. For my MM, Performance is what I found a love in, so it was a no brainer to choose a Performance Program.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to perform the role of Marie Antoinette in John Corgliano's Opera The Ghosts of Versailles. This role is very demanding, and the music is very new age and avant garde. The character is a very sad character who the audience sympathizes with easily and it is a hard role to properly pull off. The wrong acting can ruin the performance even if the singing is beautiful. The whole opera is an interesting idea and it is a piece that in it's whole is a wonderful experience. I have already performed one aria from the opera in a showcase and it was such an amazing experience.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I originally wanted to be a doctor, but found my passion in music instead. I honestly think though, that music is the only thing I could ever do long term. People who have known me for a long time will even say this is what I should be doing. I have people who I have run into from years ago who knew I was going to school for science originally and they aren't even a bit surprised that I ended up in the music field instead. They all say it was obvious from the first time they met me that I am a musician through and through.

...course of a year or more rather than trying to learn as quickly as possible is ideal because like most instruments, technical skill on the guitar is built off of muscle memory more than anything else. Muscle memory is the process of forging new connections from your muscles to your brain. When you snap your fingers or give someone a thumbs up, you are utilizing connections from your brain to your muscles that you formed years ago as a child. Creating new connections takes time, focus, and a great deal of effort, so it’s only natural human behavior to want to avoid the ... Read More

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.
