Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Recorder
I use different methods depending of the students' age and ability. Singers should always learn to breathe correctly and vocalize depending on their range. I could also use the Vaccai method for opera aspiring singers. For basic piano guitar, chords and harmonizing for accompaniment. For the recorder to learn to read music and play what's written. I also can teach in Spanish and English. Read More

For the beginners, hold a correct gesture, good handposition, or firm embouchure, and air support are some of the main requirements. When the students start to learn, adding upmore etude books, like Rubank Method, Rose Etude, Kell, Thompson, Byer, Just the Fact, Sonata, Concertos, Etudes...., and music from different genre would be presented at different timings. During the lessons, fine hand positions, great tone quality, good embouchure, fine posture and position would be the fundamental requirements and will be reminded at all time. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
Traditional sight reading, ear training, technique, music theory and the basic fundamentals are essential for developing music abilities. I teach step by step and build slowly so the student learns discipline and also become well balanced in music vocabulary. The students starts off in lesson books with an assignment book to help with consistency with daily practice, as the students mature we can also play the "cool" songs! I teach students the mechanics of music and how to teach themselves so they are proficient in all music levels. Read More

Having piano lessons is like opening the door to a magic music journey. Hanmina, as an experienced teacher, would love to share the good time with every student, and also to pour the knowledge to develop their piano skills through simple and clear way. Based on the having fun in learning the music by playing the piano, she is good at adjusting the teaching method for students in different age and character by taking care of their feeling. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
After completing my BA in public relations I was awarded a teaching assistantship at the University of Arkansas to teach the basic speech requirement. I became pregnant and did not complete my MA but began teaching private piano lessons part time while raising my children. As the needs of my family changed I began working with children in other ways such as coaching ball teams. For 10 years I served on my citys Parks Board and have worked as a local coordinator for foreign exchange students. Read More

I believe communication is of the upmost importance. I communicate with parents to let them know how the student is doing, what we are working on, and what to do next. As mentioned above, I tailor to my student's needs based on their understanding and pace. Some students move a little slower than others in certain areas, and some move faster. For example, one student of the same age may understand sheet music quickly, but have a hard time with scales. Read More

I currently use Piano Adventures Lesson and Theory books for beginner students. I have also used the Alfred series and really like the Finger Power series, too. Fundamentals of music theory is extremely important for new students of any age. I ask students to use the Music Tutor App to help them learn note names for the treble and bass clefs, and they learn by playing a fun game. We sometimes have competitions with siblings to see who can get the highest score! Read More

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.
