Ruben M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Keyboard Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

As I mentioned before, my teaching style can best be described as easygoing, but precise and adapted to each students needs. I focus on the person trying to learn as much as on the learning itself. Yet, Im not demanding or harsh in my delivery or expectations. Rather than a standard, vanilla approach, I try learn my students personality, learning style, and sense of humor pretty quickly and work to adapt the facts and knowledge of music to each student as an individual human, not an appointment.

Kenneth L

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style begins with my assessment of each student's abilities, physical, mental, and emotional. By this method I am able to design a realistic program for each student. Patience and encouragement go hand in hand, acknowledging their accomplishments all along the way. Once some fundamentals are established, I add pieces that the student has an interest in learning. In preparing for recitals I often accompany students which adds not only enjoyment for them but encouragement for them to overcome hesitancy to perform publicly. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I'm an independent and hard working woman who loves music and working with students. I graduated from San Diego State University with a desire to work with children, and at some point my path led me a different way. I had the opportunity to meet Michael Cavanaugh and was shown how much music influenced my life. I kept in touch with him recently, which was the one thing that motivated me to get back into teaching. Read More

Diane W

Instruments: Piano Flute

I've had a love for music since I was a child, when my father played classical recordings at home every day. I've played piano and flute since age 10, and the enjoyment of it just keeps increasing! From elementary school through college I performed on flute, including as a soloist, in bands and orchestras; and as an adult I'm continuing that. I've performed in several orchestras in San Diego, and I'm a charter member, section leader, and soloist in the San Diego Concert Band. Read More

No matter what level they are, I always keep it as fun as possible to keep them motivated. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice a piece separate into different sections: technical challenging part, rhythm challenging part, themes, mood change, pedaling and etc. The concept is like doing oil painting, adding layers by layers. First, separate each layers, practice until 80 percent satisfaction. Then, do two or three layers together, like: rhythm with technical challenging part, mood changes with pedaling. Add more layers together practice toward the goal. At last, combine all these layers, and paint the perfect "picture". Some students tend to practice from the beginning to the end. This will result in the beginning is better than the rest which can cause unbalanced situation for future. Listening and recording is also another important factor in practicing, record yourself and you will find so many blind spots which you didn't realize when you practice.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
According to the research, the best time to start lessons are between 6-9. In my personal opinion, it's better for a child to start lesson when the child already knows the alphabet. It's important because they need to at least know the letters in order to know the notes names. During that time period, children already has stepped into school, they learn how to sit down and pay attention consistently for a while. Being able to sit down and pay attention for at least half a hour is basic for piano practicing. It's ideal for parents to give the child musical environment and atmosphere in the preschool years. It's one of the early ways of nurturing children's sense of music.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
One of the greatest gift from my parents is allowing me to start as a pianist. Personally I consider piano is the greatest instrument ever invented in human history. It is passionate and intense yet very logical. It's the most healing instrument yet not too overwhelmingly emotional. It's a lonely instrument yet not so lonely because it can be an orchestra by itself. It is complicated and challenging to the most extent of an instrument can be. There are uncountable literature written for solo piano and collaborative piano. Piano is also a good instrument to develop coordination between left and right hand.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I would consider the part of being a performer to connect with the audience. No matter how hard you've tried and prepared for the performance, I always wonder how I can build connection with my audience. If you play for audience who don't know music, it's even harder to connect with them. And most people just interested in listening to the piece whether is smooth or not to determine if the performance is good. It's sometimes really kind of frustrated to see what you've been working so hard but people don't even care enough to understand. But the more performance I play, I find that I can just play the piece like telling a story, not too overdone the drama, it appears to be the most natural way of expression. My teacher told me as long as you convey the musical interpretation through fine expressions then your audience will get it.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?

5 Reasons Why You Should Take Summer Music Lessons

...  In late June, there’s a national average of about 15 hours of daylight per day. Compare that to early January’s meager average of nine hours of daylight per day and you’ll get another really good reason why you should take summer music lessons. Daylight is proven to increase our productivity and capacity for learning, so the extra hours of daylight during the summer will do a lot in the way of helping you to focus, learn, and thrive in your music lessons.   But even aside from the extra hours of daylight, the summer just seems to be the...

Saxophone Warm-Ups: Practice Exercises for All Levels

...of your daily warm-up routine. Long tones help warm up the instrument and, long-term, they help to strengthen your embouchure. You want to start in the middle register of the saxophone. You want to do this because the notes in the middle register (G to G) are the easiest to play and they put the least amount of exertion on the reed. To benefit the most from long tones, you want to pay attention to what you’re doing. If you’re not paying attention, if you’re just “phoning it in”, your instrument will get warm, but you won’t get the maximum benefit ... Read More

How To Write a Pop Song

...perspective into their thoughts, views, and ideas. Understandably, this can leave a songwriter feeling vulnerable and sometimes hesitant. If you’re foreign to the lyric-writing process, I suggest writing something ridiculous to start. Writing something silly is a low pressure way to hone in your writing skills. Once you’re ready to write something more serious, take the time to find out what’s meaningful to you. Pop music lyrics aren’t just about love. Religion, death, money, politics and geography are topics frequently covered in Pop music. Jot down your ideas and start setting some words to music.     Not every songwriter is a lyricist! ...
