Paul N

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Harmonica Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I'm a young musician who came to the United States from Russia to pursue a career in music. Currently I'm working on my degree in music performance at Fresno Pacific University. I also write my own music and am working on my debut album. Music is a really important part of my life and that's why I want to teach anyone who is interested in learning and understanding music. I strongly believe that everyone can play music no matter what age or skill level you are, I know that you can do it if you will be dedicated enough. Read More

Lia M

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer Keyboard

When I was teaching piano for younger children, the first books for piano started out with John Thompson. as that was the biggest name in learning piano. Adults, of course, are more advanced readers, and sometimes they need books that are more on their level. Voice students should start out at least around 10, since their vocal chords will be maturing, and they will need training in breathing. I like to try the first lesson with just breathing exercises and vocal techniques, so that when we finally get to a song, it will be easy to test the range. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

As I teach, I learn—both about the instrument or voice and about the style (both musical and teaching) that interests or motivates the student. While I have a basic method in lessons with certain techniques, exercises, and repertoire to be drilled and mastered, I will try to adapt and modify my approach for the needs and personality of the student. In addition to the areas mentioned in the checklist, I also teach conducting (choral and instrumental) and music theory. Read More

Melody K

Instruments: Piano

I am passionate about teaching music. For as long as I can remember, I love sharing the joy of music with others. I have studied piano for 15 years under private lessons and chose my concentration for my Liberal Studies BA to be music. Music is not just a passion for me, but is also part of my soul. It allows me to express myself through song instead of using words. Read More

Marc M

Instruments: Piano Voice Music

I am always intrigued when one of my students makes a breakthrough in their learning. Music is a type of adventure that allows for building blocks to build on top of one another. Students work at their own pace. When a students is ready to move onto the next level, we will advance. Allowing students to see and hear their improvement encourages students to keep pushing through learning their instrument. Read More

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

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Focus is key. No matter the skill level of the student, or the difficulty of the subject matter, with the right amount of concentration, a dedicated student will be able to gain the self discipline to naturally push their abilities. As a music teacher/ instructor I feel that it is important to give a certain amount of criticism to my students, while still remaining a positive figure of inspiration. I have had a wide range of music instructors in my past and the ones that I feel have been the most effective are the ones that remained positive and patient throughout my development.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child can independently express the want to learn a musical instrument on their own, then yes, I believe they are ready to start lessons. It may also be important to consider what goals you have in mind for your child though. I believe that learning a musical instrument, especially at a younger age, can beneficial for a child's growth and development, not only on an academic level, but on a social level as well. It can help improve memory, hand eye coordination, along with reading and comprehension skills.

When will I start to see results?
It varies from student to student depending on their age, development, and dedication. I have had beginner students, younger than 12 years old, able to play full compositions in their first 6 months. Regardless of that, it's important to be patient with every student. Everyone has their own way of learning and developing, and it's easy to get frustrated when you don't see physical results right away. It's my job to try and see where a student's current shortcomings are and help develop them in the right way.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My band/ music technology teacher back in high school was an inspiring figure to me. I feel fortunate to learn early in my life the value of hard work and dedication.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Before I took my first formal music lesson, I was always singing as a child. By the time I came to be a teenager playing bands across my hometown in New Jersey, music was already a driving passion, but I never saw myself as the "lead singer" type. The vocals initially became my primary instrument only because I never played in a band with anyone who had the ability to carry a tune like I did, let alone the confidence to deliver a quality performance. By naturally pursuing my love for music, my primary instrument came to me on its own.

...a vulnerable state creatively. This might be an uncomfortable thought for musicians who are used to always knowing what and how to play something, but good, meaningful songwriting typically happens without a plan. My songwriting tips will be a lot more helpful to you if you actively remember that it’s perfectly fine and probably a good thing if you feel lost during the songwriting process from time to time.   Tip #1: Don’t wait for inspiration to find you   Whether you’re experienced in music or not, you might subscribe to the belief that the act of songwriting is something purely...

...2 or 3 strings of each chord and you’ll be fine.   Accompaniment Technique   The strumming technique for the Rolling in the Deep chords will consist mainly of down strums with an eighth-note rhythm.   Simply count: 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &. For the majority of the song, focus on playing the bottom 2 or 3 strings of each chord. As the song builds, you can begin adding the full chord gradually. The chorus should use the entire chord sound. There is also a backbeat-strumming technique that helps add flavor to the chorus.   Palm Muting Technique   For the intro and the verse, I suggest using ... Read More

Dramatic voices have historically filled the older and more villainous parts of an opera, and the bulk of the dramatic repertoire was written during the age of German romantic opera. Verdi was also known for his contributions to the dramatic voice, though—listen to this recording of Nadia Krasteva singing the aria “Stride, la vampa.” Of course, you also have to listen to an aria from one of the dramatic mezzo’s most famous roles: the character ...

Every guitarist has a personal preference for the thickness and flexibility of the picks that they use, and while there are some slight variations in shape and size, a triangle with rounded edges is the standard.   Choosing guitar gear all comes down to personal preference, and there’s no one piece of gear that’s right for everyone. When choosing gear, it’s best to shop around and figure out what works best for you. You may not need items that other guitarists swear by, so take some time to figure ... Read More

...breath support to get a good tone. The instrument itself requires assembly and cleaning both before and after each time it is played, so the student must be taught how to care for the trumpet. Additionally, the trumpet has some delicate parts and may not be ideal for households with small children – a dented trumpet won’t sound good! As students get older, their interests will often branch out quite a bit. The trumpet is a popular instrument in marching bands, concert band, and jazz band, and even as a solo instrument for all kinds of events such as playing the start spangled banner, taps, etc. A great teacher can help a student develop their technique in order to sound good playing any style of ...
