Michael N

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Piccolo Keyboard

My methods of teaching are teaching what and how to practice. The basic ingredients in music are scales and chords and space. I am a firm believer of playing with a rhythm section from the beginning. Because of this, I use devices such as playing with tracks, myself, and other people. I provide audio and visual examples using recordings and videos. It is a myth that, with music, you either have it or you don't. Read More

Cathy B

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Acoustic Guitar

I try to get to know each student a little in the introduction/first lesson. I ask about their music goals and where they would like to be in a few months to a year. We talk about their favorite styles of music and artists. I am so excited to see my students progress and learn a new chord, play a new song well, sing a more challenging song, increase their vocal range, and become excited about their new musical skills!

Andrew S

Instruments: Piano Organ

My main goal in teaching is to bring out the best in my students. I make sure to take into account each students learning style and to go at their pace. My wish is to give students the tools that they need to succeed and then to allow them the freedom to fly with that. The main concept that is essential to growth in art is practice. Students will need to understand the importance of practicing regularly in order to nurture the art and develop as a musician and person. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Richard S

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Accordion Music

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first teacher, (from 8 until I was 12), was a very sweet, older man, who did a wonderful job teaching me the basics. I was a bit sad and surprised when he told me he had taught me everything he could, and that it was time for me to find a more advanced teacher. My second teacher was a professional studio and television musician. He inspired me to perform and work with other musicians. By the time I was 16, I was playing weddings and other well paid gigs, as well as playing in the studio and with several bands. I teach my students, no matter what age, the music they like. I know that a student will practice more, and get more enjoyment from playing the type of music they like. Yes I play and teach every genre from old fashioned country to progressive Hip Hop, and everything in between, including rock and roll, Mozart, Beethoven and Michael Jackson.

When will I start to see results?
If the student practices you'll see results very quickly. If not they'll go slowly or just stay in the same place. I will not continue to teach a student who does not practice. My cardinal rule is, if I have to teach you the same lesson, 3 times, because you didn't practice, I will fire you as a student. I don't like to teach the same lesson over and over, and I feel like I'm stealing money for doing nothing, and I have a moral problem with that. Again, you get out of music lessons, what you put in.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I feel it is important to practice soon after a lesson. The next day at the latest. If not the student will, most likely, forget some, if not all of the lesson. Many students seem to wait until the day of the lesson, to practice the last lesson. This is a set up for failure. You are better off practicing 20 minutes a day, than an hour and a half on one day. Students need to stop, if they're having trouble with a certain measure, and analyze and work on that measure. Just playing through the song, as best as you can, not stopping to fix or correct mistakes, is really not practicing.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
It depends upon the child. With very young children, attention span is sometimes a problem. Understanding some basic math and fractions is quite helpful. I've taught several children fractions. I have taught a 3 1/2 year old successfully, using color. Whenever I'm asked to teach a child younger than 6 years, I set up an evaluation lesson. I can generally see, pretty quickly, if we should start lessons. If your child is interested in listening to the sound of things vibrating. When I was 4 years old, I would take our oven wire rack, put it up to my ear, and pluck it like a harp. I remember to this day, how good the sound made me feel. I was able to start lessons when I was 8.

Music Lessons for Kids: How Young is Too Young?

...to ask yourself the following questions as the parent or guardian regarding your child before enrolling them in music lessons for kids:   Is my child able to sit and focus for a 30+ minute lesson? Most music lessons for kids, especially very young ones, will last for 30 minutes, though some teachers prefer longer sessions (sometimes up to an hour). Even 30 minutes can be extremely difficult for a young child to sit through attentively. However, if you’re worried that your child might not be able to sit and focus through an entire lesson, that doesn’t necessarily mean that lessons won’t be successful. I would recommend ...

...much harmonic motion as possible. The first chord can also be a Imaj7. I threw a couple of different advanced progressions in this example. The first four bars use “the cycle”. What “the cycle” refers to is the cycle of fourths. In one of my first articles, we talked about root movements for practicing. An example would be practicing your major scales around the cycle of fourths: C, F, Bb, Eb, etc. You can use the cycle when soloing over blues changes. You start on the bII chord and go around the cycle. This way, you hit the IV7 chord on the fifth bar. ... Read More

The development of the alto flute was also complicated for physical reasons. Lengthening the flute meant expanding the distance between the key holes, as well as between the embouchure hole and the keys, making it difficult for ... Read More

Life is hectic! Most students may also be attending school or working. As a result, sometimes we grab a quick snack or maybe drink a quick coffee during our busy day. Take a moment before lessons to take a deep breath, stretch out, and make sure you have everything you need. For all lessons, drinking a bottle of water is a great way to keep yourself hydrated and brushing your ... 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. 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.
