Jordan T

Instruments: Piano Trombone Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Euphonium Tuba Piccolo Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard

I am a passionate musician, educator, conductor, and composer, and I have been happily obsessed with music since I began piano lessons at age 10. I joined the school band program in 6th grade, and since then, I have learned how to play and teach many different instruments. My primary instrument is percussion, but I play piano, low brass, clarinet, bass guitar, and I also have perfect pitch. I also have had opportunities to share my love of music by arranging and composing for my own students as well as being commissioned by school band programs. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar

Hi, I am a passionate instructor that plays guitar, piano, sings, and composes. In 2015, I received my Bachelor's of Music degree in Jazz Guitar Performance. In and out of school have performed in big bands, jazz combos, guitar ensembles, vocal jazz ensembles, and musicals. In addition, I have performed, recorded, and toured with an indie rock band for over 10 years. My varied experience enables me to help students with self-expression as well as technique and theory.

Ret N

Instruments: Piano Voice Cello Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard

I have taught piano for nearly a decade. As I was growing up, my mother taught piano in our house and I started learning at five years old. When I was twelve, I took on my first student, who was about four years old at the time. Since then, I have taught in a variety of settings, from double teaming pairs of students with my mother to teaching cello, piano, drums, and basic music skills online to students living in Haiti, France, and across the United States!

Adriane L

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

Voice: In voice lessons we do not use books which allows me to fully customize lessons to the individual students needs and wants. I teach different methods of breathing, including low costal breathing and we focus on posture, sound placement, among many other fun skills. Speaking: Speaking lessons are also highly customized, as speakers could be anyone from film or stage actors, to voice over artists, to public speakers and beyond. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Synthesizer Ukulele Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I work closely with students, parents and other teachers to ensure that each lesson is tailored to meet specific needs of the student. I understand that everyone has different learning capabilities and finding all of the different ways to teach my students is part of the fun in teaching. Everyone learns at their own pace and with so many more genres of music than ever before, people are developing different tastes in music as well. Read More

Bill H

Instruments: Piano Organ

I will have a Doctor of Arts degree in Piano Performance from the University of Northern Colorado in 2017. I am originally from Mississippi and studied engineering before pursuing music as a career. In 2009 I fulfilled my dream of visiting Europe by spending the summer in Salzburg, Austria and accompanied singers there as well. I enjoy living in Colorado and like to bike and play disc golf when the time allows. Read More

James M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Synthesizer Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I love the many facets of music. My love of music, and my best practice, stems from a deep enjoyment of listening to music, as a consumer of sound. Developing my listening ear has been the most useful tool in all my years as a performer. I've played with academic ensembles in a choral setting, and done significant work in small ensemble classical guitar groupings. My most enjoyable long term academic ensemble, however, was the African Hand Percussion Ensemble, as while it had a very strict underlying structure for the cohesion of the group, it was deeply improvisational in nature, my favorite aspect of musical performance.

Instruments: Piano Voice Cello

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
One of the most important things about practicing is consistency. It is better to practice 15 minutes every day than to practice 2 or 3 hours in one day every week. It is also important to make sure that you practice with good posture and breath. It doesn't matter if you are a vocalist or an instrumentalist, breathing is essential! How you practice breathing will always affect how you perform. When practicing, feel free to slow things down in the beginning. Use a metronome when appropriate. Also, having a mirror to practice in front of may be helpful. By all means, work on the things your instructor has given you to work on. Stay present and learn to enjoy practicing.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Are they willing? If so, they are ready. It may depend somewhat on what instrument they are wanting to learn, but the basics of most instruments can be taught at an early age. Sometimes they will have to start on a miniature instrument. The second question is, "Is the rest of the family ready to deal with them practicing?" Many instruments don't sound good when beginners first start. Beginner level instruments are much more difficult to play than professional grade instruments. Add that to the fact that they are being played by inexperienced students and the sound is not always going to be very pleasant. Still, this does not mean they aren't ready or learning.

When will I start to see results?
There are certain results you can look for within the first week of taking lessons. Does the student have more inspiration, energy and excitement toward learning and practicing? Do they feel confident and encouraged or overwhelmed and discouraged? There are other things to look for when measuring results. Are they making new sounds and feeling more free to experiment? Becoming more aware of freedom from tensions can be a huge result and will often lead into other results like better intonation and improved and fuller tone quality. Some things can happen rapidly at the start. Other results may take years of practice and performing. At times results will seem to come suddenly after months or years of working on the same things. What kind of exposure students have had with music prior to taking lessons plays an important roll. Sometimes, as is often the case with singers, there may be bad habits that have to be disentangled from their muscle memory. Results (in terms of the time it takes for freeing up the vocal chords to phonate without subglottal or supraglottal pressure) will vary from student to student.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose singing as my primary instrument for many reasons. Firstly, my own body is literally the instrument and I used it with my very first breath. It is easy to bring along, and though difficult to take care of, it is the chief instrument of expression and communication of my life. It is this same instrument I have cried with, laughed with, and sighed with in all the best and worst moments of my life. My voice was there for me when I said my first word. My voice is the best revealer of my heart, my thoughts, and my intentions. While it is the most difficult instruments to master--every feeling, thought as well as sickness will affect the way it sounds-- to me it is the most worthy instrument to learn to wield. When I was born my grandmother looked at me and announced to everyone that I would be a great singer that would travel the world. Since I was a boy I have found great joy in making songs and singing my heart out. There have been great challenges to overcome in learning to sing better, but there are moments when I sing where it feels as though I am making worlds or flying through new realms of consciousness and bliss. I'm able to give myself to others with love and hope. It is these moments that makes all the painful work and resistance worth facing. To sing is to live. To sing well is to live well.

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.
