Lai Ming P

Instruments: Piano

I have over 15 years of teaching piano experience. I teach in my music studio. All my students have received good results from piano exams. I also have organized some piano competitions in my home town in California. I accompanied with violin students in exams and recitals. I also played for choir in church. I teach age 5 and above. My students grew with my teaching and entered in good college. They enjoy playing piano even after they grow up and I believe that will last for their whole life. Read More

Monica D

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Viola Ukulele Recorder Music Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience comes from my experiences and lessons from my previous private teachers. During my 10 years of lessons I learned that importance of a regularly maintained practice schedule leads to the most effective practice sessions. I try to encourage students of all ages to seek out music that they find enjoyable and I do what i can to shape my lessons to make learning the music exciting. I try to anticipate a students need.

Jacob M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Conga Latin Percussion

I like my students to work on their performance personas, as well as technique and repertoire. I want my students to be engaged and excited about the music they are working on and to practice performing it like the rock star they are! Read More

Robert A

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I set goals and targets for my students every lesson, and design assessments to determine wether they have met those goals and what they need further to succeed. At the end of each lesson, I give the student my notes for things to remember as they continue practicing throughout the week. I design my plans to be flexible with the students goal and pace, but also designed to ensure the student is getting their necessary practice time and musical training each and every week. Read More

Lauren G

Instruments: Piano Voice Clarinet

With my teachings, each student will experience a voice that will rarely get tired, won't sound hoarse and will stay healthy their whole lives. I am also a major proponent of learning music theory. All of my voice and piano students learn basic theory under my tutelage through the Keith Snell piano theory series. When I teach my students, I typically begin them on classical training. We start off learning Italian art songs, but will always have their favourite pop tune in the mix to show them how classical technique can make them a better pop singer. Read More

Shuyi H

Instruments: Piano

For the last 15 years, my teaching has focusing on two parts: highly advanced students from music schools, and amatuear students age from 4-76. I have worked in many music schools teaching piano major and minor students preparing for professional performance careers. Including broad selections for repertoire, constant developing of finger strength and technique, preparing for competitions, auditions, and performances. I've taught in these music schools including 2 elementary, 3 middle, 4 high schools, and 2 music departments of universities. Read More

Christian M

Instruments: Piano Trombone Euphonium Tuba Keyboard

For all students my primary focus is tone and sound production and going from there I usually have beginning students start on the standard of excellence books, these books usually go hand in hand all the way up to the end of junior high school For more advanced students I have them use the Arban's Method for Trombone/Euphonium, Melodius Etudes by Rochut, and any solo or ensemble piece which fits their current level.

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.

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. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
