Patrick M

Instruments: Piano Trombone

I began teaching private lessons while I was still in college around 2005 and have had few private students. Ive taught and coached jazz band, concert band, and orchestra youth programs like Stanford Jazz, The Jazzschool, and Golden State Youth Orchestra. The students I work with learn the fundamentals and mechanics of the instrument, the understanding of musical language and theory, how it relates to the world, expression of feelings, thoughts and ideas, and the overall joy and fulfillment of playing music on trombone.

Aaron M

Instruments: Piano Trumpet

Acknowledging accomplishments is an ideal way to motivate a student to improve. While critiquing a student's weaknesses is something a teacher should do, celebrating the positive moments in playing can help engrave good habits. Whether you are trying to learn for fun or trying to get into the college of dreams for music, I am able to cater my teaching style to the needs of the student and this makes music fun for everyone!

Haley M

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private piano lessons part time 10 years ago. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that finding the genre the student likes can go a long way in helping them enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

Cesar C

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I am a professional musician/pianist who has had the good fortune to have performed and worked around the world in a variety of musical styles and venues. I spent 5 years touring with Joan Baez as her pianist and Musical Director. I also worked in the field of circus/cabaret for over 10 years in Europe and the USA as a pianist, musical director, arranger, and composer. As a teacher, I can give piano lessons to all levels as well as lessons in music theory. Read More

Mark W

Instruments: Piano Clarinet

I begin teaching from piano books published by Alfred. I also have the student learn their scales as well as give a weekly written music theory assignment. I incorporate styles and songs the student enjoys listening to or playing as well. I like to teach classical music. With this foundation, ALL other music is much easier to play, and helps tremendously with their sight reading skills. Performance recitals are recommended, but not required. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Eddie C

Instruments: Bass Guitar Electric Guitar

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I think that it would be a Parliament Funkadelic live concert from beginning to end. The bass guitar is a major element in the funk music the created. Then I would like to fuse that with a few Stanley Clarke tunes with Thundercat and Mono Neon as guest appearances. Then I would like to have Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten come improvise while I hold down a groove of my choice. Then I would like all of us to lear Funfe Stücke by Paul Hindemith all on bass guitars and then we go into a Jimi Hendrix/ Led Zeppelin tribute

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I do not have a music degree from a university or college. When I graduated high school I was offered a scholarship to attend a private university but was unable to attend because my guardians thought it was not the best choice. I enrolled into Clark Atlanta University for a short time. I was in the jazz orchestra and classical orchestra for a while but I was not happy that my guardians made me go to that college. I was so hurt that I eventually went to the registrars office and left the university

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Normally I’ll have my bass and amplifier. I’ll have a list of scales to learn and also homework. I may have my computer to record our session so the students can hear themselves after the lesson is finished. This will help them in pinpointing certain areas that may need improvement. I may have my guitar also so the student can understand the relationship between these two related instruments. I may have bongos and microphones also. I may also have effects for bass and guitar to open up a new world of creativity for the student

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Not specifically but these are great methods and authors. One may find a great lesson book at the local library also. I believe if a student wants to make music and have results then the teacher must employ a plethora of techniques. I’m not opposed to these method oops. They are great tools. I usually provide a curriculum that is tailored to the students ability and discipline. I’m not the best at reading music anymore but I understand all of my notes and scales. The fundamental knowledge of playing the bass guitar still requires learning and understanding music theory

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.
