Instruments: Piano Guitar Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I am a musician with a true passion for teaching the art of music to individuals of all ages. Music has been a part of my life since I started [laying the guitar 45 years ago and I have been professionally instructing for 30 + years. I gained my music education in "Advanced musical studies" by attending years of lessons with several private and University instructors in Michigan. I own the Oakland guitar studios located in West Bloomfield and South Lyon since 1993. Read More

Matthew D

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums

To me it is very important to balance the technical and creative aspects of development. No matter what age/skill level I split time during lessons into activities that develop technique and language, and compositional, creative activities that help each student explore their instrument and what they have to say with it. This balance can be altered depending on the interests of the student or parent. I also encourage students to bring in songs that they want to learn/play along with to keep the lessons relevant to their musical interests. Read More

Noor J

Instruments: Piano

My teaching experence started, as I mentioned above, in 2005 when I started giving training courses at some churches. That was in Baghdad, giving training courses to kids who were interested in playing with choirs. Basically the courses were divided into two lessons/ week: 1 lesson in theories, 1 lesson in applied music. Then I started giving private lessons also in Baghdad. Then I moved to Lebanon, where I taught in two institutes for music. Read More

Gabriel C

Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Keyboard

As an accomplished self taught pianist and composer I've spent my life experimenting with different methods, material and practice beliefs. I can teach and speak more broadly now about music, not as an elitist activity but as a language vital to humans whether it is "spoken" or heard. I encourage exploration, a firm understanding of fundamentals and full pursuit of whatever goals are set by the student. This understanding has allowed me to produce over 50 projects, 250 string arrangements and write well over 200 songs to date. Read More

Emily E

Instruments: Piano

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. By having these realistic goals, students will feel greater accomplishment at what they achieved as I do not want to overwhelm the student with too much material or information. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Mason B

Instruments: Piano Trumpet

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I have been playing the trumpet and flugelhorn for 19 years and I love the sounds, the look, and the features that go with it. It’s a perfect musical bond that I am happy to be a part of.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite music genres that I love to play are jazz, funk, hard bop, and soul. With jazz music, when it comes to improvisation and composing, you are free to play whatever note or rhythm that fits the form or chord of the given tune. When soloing, it is like you are putting your heart and soul to the music. That is the beauty of jazz music. To me, jazz music has created a humongous web of genres that everyone needs to keep open-minded about. Without the blues, we would not have jazz music. Without jazz music, we would not have R&B, pop, hip hop, soul, etc.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started playing on the piano/keyboard when I was in college doing keyboard technique classes. It was difficult doing those levels, till I learned a much simpler way of playing the piano from Scott Gwinell at OU.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Give the child time to grow and see if he/she is really interested in music and wanting to learn it. It doesn’t matter how old you would be to start playing or practicing an instrument. Music is definitely for all ages. Anyone may be surprised if the child is a prodigy like Mozart was in his young time.

When will I start to see results?
You will be able to see results in his/her performance if they are planning on doing any solo and ensemble work or any school performance (jazz or concert band). The main important thing that a child has to do when taking private music lessons is to definitely make the time to practice a piece of music or even listen to a certain tune or even watch their favorite musicians.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had a private trumpet teacher that helped me with mastering the trumpet and help me learn pieces for solo and ensemble. She also inspired me to go to my dream college of Oakland University, where I learned music theory, history, and techniques for both classical and jazz. At OU, I’ve learned and been inspired by some of the best jazz professors…. Miles Brown (bassist, big band leader, and jazz theory professor); Sean Dobbins (drums; jazz combos); Scott Gwinell (piano, jazz piano); and Anthony Stanco (jazz trumpet). Without them, I would not have learned the concepts, history, and the theory jazz music.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Everyone in my family listens and loves music. My grandfather from my dad’s side did learn to transcribe any country songs via guitar. My brother even played the drums in middle school, but quit after a while.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
For any musician that is a beginner, I would practice for 30 minutes everyday. However, for any advanced/ professional musician, I would practice everyday 1-2 or even 3 hours a day.

Best Age to Start Bass Guitar Lessons

... What is the best age to start bass guitar lessons? Many bass players actually start out on the guitar before beginning on bass, but many students do choose bass as their first instrument. Before committing to signing up for bass guitar lessons, it’s important for parents and students to know that the student is the right age to get started. The biggest issue when it comes to starting lessons on the bass guitar is the size of the instrument. The neck, or fret board, of a standard bass typically measures just under three feet in length. Many guitar manufacturers produce smaller “short-scale” guitars designed for students with smaller bodies and shorter arms, generally 3/4 the size (meaning a 32-inch neck would be ... 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.
