Hugo S

Instruments: Piano Trombone Euphonium Music

My philosophy in teaching is: "Everyone learns in a different way". I like to analyze and help the student to find the simplest and easiest way to approach a piece or music in general. 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. Read More

Gabriel A

Instruments: Piano Drums Bass Guitar Organ

For all students during the first lesson I have them play something regardless of their skill level. Based on personal experience I’ve noticed that not all students have the same level of ability. For example in drum lessons I’ve had some entry level students sit down and play a groove and have another sit down and have no coordination. After determining the students ability level, my next step is to determine what the students likes. Read More

Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Keyboard

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. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. as all students are different, I always respect that and teach accordingly.

Markeise R

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Music Keyboard

I've taught private lessons to students of all ages for the last 10+ years. Additionally, I have taught at the middle school and high school levels. I've taught instrumental, vocal, and general music. I enjoy watching students progress in their studies. Most importantly, I enjoy watching students reflect upon their growth musically. I consider music to be a very important investment in a child's future. Many parents do not know that their children can earn college scholarship dollars for playing an instrument well. Read More

Michelle H

Instruments: Piano

Im experienced in both private and group settings. My private lessons have focused on tailored programs to raise the students aptitude and proficiency in their piano playing. I have successfully guided many of my students to outstanding exam results in well recognized music examination boards such as RCM (Royal Conservatory of Music), ABRSM (The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) and Trinity College London. My group lessons have targeted younger piano players to grow their musical potential by learning, performing, and enjoying music through programs like Music for Young Children (MYC). Read More

Clifford G

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Bass Guitar

It is rewarding to see a student achieve a strong desire and a sense of accomplishment when they begins to play the instrument of their choice. I believe that a person should learn at their own pace. With that in mind I try to set realistic goals and make each lesson understandable. Acknowledging their success helps build their confidence and knowledge which translates into the student wanting to practice more. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
While there are no other musicians in my family, I am fortunate to have family who are very supportive of my musical goals and very appreciative of all different types of genres of music.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love to sing jazz standards! I love how many versions of the same song that exist, that really shows the versatility in this genre. I also love how so much emotion can be portrayed while singing many jazz songs.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I was inspired to complete my Master's Degree in Musicology because I enjoy the learning about the social and cultural impact that music has on our world.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would be thrilled to perform a musical on tour or on Broadway. I particularly love high-energy pop-rock/contemporary musicals that have a lot of acting and excitement.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be a public speaker or a college professor. I have a deep passion for interacting with others as well as a penchant for learning new things and fostering learning among others.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master is actually something that is fundamentally very easy--finding YOUR OWN unique sound! With the myriad of different music that we all have available to us at any given time, it can be easy for many singers, both novice and experienced) to try to adhere to what they think is the "right" way to look, sound, or present while onstage. Finding one's own vocal performance originality can be difficult thing to master.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
For me, a normal practice session consists of a large bottle of water, a quiet space, and one or two attainable goals to accomplish in that session. I start with a few gentle warm-ups, and then continue on to practice the song/concept for about an hour at a time.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I am emotionally drawn to the power of the human voice. Singing is exceptionally unique in that our instrument that we use for singing is totally unique and no two voices are the same.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of my own vocal improvement over the years in my own career. Not only has my vocal technique improved with continuous and dedicated practice and training, but I have grown exponentially as an onstage persona and a dynamic performer.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
The vocal coach I used to learn from is an incredibly talented singer and musician. I was inspired by how she was able to use her voice teaching skill to guide others, but how she was able to earn a living using her passion for singing and playing the piano. That was always very empowering to me!

When will I start to see results?
If you are taking one lesson per week and clocking at leave 30 minutes of practice 3 times a week, you will see significant results and improvement.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child is showing a strong interest in singing lessons and they have expressed a desire to learn further for a particular activity (i.e. the school musical) that is a good sign.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set goals beforehand- every time you go to practice! This will ensure that you are using your time wisely and keep you on track with your goals.

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.
