I'm a self-motivated, adaptable, and encouraging instructor with 14 years of performing experience and 8 years of teaching experience (6 professional). I'm an expert in vocals, piano, guitar, drums, songwriting, and I also play bass and ukulele. I graduated from University of Washington Seattle in 2021 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. I've performed countless times in competitive jazz (national), percussion, rock, drum-line, and concert ensembles. I also had the privilege of training and performing with renowned world music artists such as Amarilys Rios (Afro-Caribbean Bomba Percussion), Phyllis Byrdwell (Gospel Vocals), and Ganesh Rajagopalan (South Indian Classical).

Steve B

Instruments: Piano Voice Cello

I have had 2 private students for the past year both for voice: -Zoe 15 -Lucas 13 I officially started teaching while I was with The After School All-Stars teaching their school of rock band. I was with them for 3 years and in that time I was able to not only have the students perform as a band but I also taught the students how to be "techies". Not all of them wanted to play instruments but they still wanted to be a part of the group so I said Why Not?" I later on returned to my old high school and have been teaching there as a musical theater teacher. Read More

Instruments: Piano Bass Guitar

I can be a more laid-back teacher, but this is only if I see that the student has been practicing has been paying attention to the feedback and is taking it in as criticism and not personal. If there is a lack of progression, then we have to communicate what is restricting them or getting in the way of them practicing so we can move along and make them a better player. Read More

Astrid H

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have 10 years of experience teaching voice. My mother is an opera singer and highly successful voice coach in Vienna, Austria and she not only was the best voice teacher I ever had, but also taught me to teach. Sharing my passion with other people has turned out to be one of the most rewarding things in my life. The joy, fun and often surprised looks on my student's faces when all of a sudden a beautiful tone comes out of their mouths, is just priceless! Read More

Paul G

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Lap Steel Guitar Ukulele Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Hello, I began teaching professionally 9 years ago in my home studio. I first started with guitar lessons. I am very passionate about aiding and supporting the growth of students. I provide students with the skills needed for the complete understanding of the language of music. This equips the student to learn any kind of music that is desired. Students are then able to learn classical, jazz, blues, rock, and popular music. Read More

Dave S

Instruments: Piano Voice Acoustic Guitar

For my students, I like to see what type of music they are interested in and listen to a few of their favorite songs. From there we can learn chords (guitar, piano) and melodies for vocal lines. We could go the route of learning scales and theory, but since I didn't grow up learning that way, I'd prefer to go the more modern way by learning strumming patterns, chords, inversions, melodies and harmonies, and teach dynamics to make a song come together.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The two key factors to efficient practice are self discipline, and maintaining a practice environment with minimal distractions. Avoid having things around you such as television, loud noises, electronics, cell phones, etc.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Kids should be introduced to music as early as possible. The sooner they are introduced to it regularly, the sooner their brain starts to develop a sense of melody and pitch recognition. However, most students don’t have an attention span for music lesssons until around the age of 6-7. Lessons at an earlier age are definitely possible and can never hurt! The younger they start, the more “natural” most will be in the long run. For example, a person who learns rhythm at 5 years old will tend to have “naturally” better rhythm in the long run than that of somebody who doesn’t study it until they’re 13. But, the younger a child is, the less attention span they have for focused learning. In my personal experience, the best time to start kids in music lessons is after they have experienced one year in a social learning environment, such as kindergarten.

When will I start to see results?
This varies for all musicians. When it comes to seeing results, the number one thing to always remember is that the more you practice, the better you get and the quicker you get there. After all, practice makes perfect! If you stick to a strict practice schedule, for example 30 minutes of practice a day, you will begin seeing some results within the week. However, if you practice for thirty minutes twice a day, you'll see results even quicker! Another important thing to remember is that everybody learns at a different rate. Don't get discouraged if you're not seeing major results as quickly as you hope to. Music requires patience and work. If you have both of those, the results will happen!

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Every music teacher I have ever had inspired me to be a better musician. In my experience, nothing inspires a student more than a accomplished, enthusiastic instructor. My college instructors accompishments inspire me by showing that music is NOT a dead end road. It is an industry that 100% depends upon your work ethic. They have proven to me that you can make it anywhere you want in this industry, just depending on how much you’re willing to work for it! But most importantly, I’ve been inspired by their enthusiasm. Music is only a for the people who love every second of it. Being taught by somebody twice my age with an undying love for music has inspired me by knowing that as long as I love what I’m doing, I’ll never “work” a day or my life and I will always have the opportunity to spread the knowledge and love of music performance/education.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
For my entire life, my dad has been a guitar player. My earliest memories consist of listening to my dad play over Van Halen and Ozzy Osborne albums. When I was fourteen years old, I fell in love with the catchy riffs and melodic, shredding guitar solos by Synyster Gates (lead guitar player for Avenged Sevenfold) and that’s when I decided to pick up the guitar. I instantly fell in love with playing. Living under the same roof as an accomplished player like my dad and constantly working on learning new A7X and GNR songs, I never wanted to put it down. As a classical music nerd as well,the guitar is the most versatile instrument for my taste. I can play anything from Bach and Mozart to Van Halen and Guns N Roses all on the same instrument.

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.
