Tori R

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola

I began teaching private lesson while in high school. It was during that time that I developed a love and passion for teaching music. Over the years, I have learned that each student is unique in how they learn and what they need. So I like to help each student learn in ways that are meaningful for them. Usually that means I take slightly different approach to teaching concepts to each student. Read More

My beginning students usually start with Hal Leonards Essential Elements, Accents on Achievements, Do It Play In Band, and much more. Once my student is able to grasp basic fundamentals and a healthy proper tone and technique, I will then be able to incorporate solo repertoire for future recitals and contests.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Keyboard Electric Guitar

My teaching experience dates back to my days working in Los Angeles working as staff composer songwriter, as I began to teach private piano and voice lessons part time 15 years ago I've found that a combination of blues and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy and progress their studies in piano, voice and guitar. The most important lesson is to have FUN! I encourage my students to work on their own compositions that promotes creativity. Read More

Dana J

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard Djembe

I am a Music Therapist that also has a passion for teaching the piano. Learning to play the piano as a child was so beneficial mentally and emotionally, and it created a positive outlet for me during all seasons of life. I continued my studies at Arizona State University under the instruction of world-renown pianist Walter Cosand. During my time in college, I played professionally with my brother and we recorded 2 albums together. Read More

Kia P

Instruments: Piano Voice

I studied dance at the age of 6. My mom bought a piano for herself to learn to play. I would go to the piano and try to make up songs that I could dance to, which then lead me to take piano lessons for 15 years. Committment, joy, and passion are the keys to learning and growing as a music student.  I enjoy teaching all styles, as well having students learn to arrange and express their own style within the piece they are learning.

Mengyu L

Instruments: Piano

It gave me a different experience on how to teach professionally in music major and be personalized in teaching different people. Encouraging my students with regular practice on their repertoire and inspire them to be creative during practice is my idea to emphasize for intermediate students and youngers, it tends to help them explore more in music and gain their passion for the instrument. Music is not only a subject, but it is also a universal language for people to be together. Read More

Karen M

Instruments: Piano Recorder Music

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
- Is your child interested in music? A lot of this will depend on the exposure and enjoyment they have had with the music in their lives up to this point. - Can they pay attention for at least 5 minutes? Do note that their attention spans will increase as they continue to practice. - Are they willing to commit to at least 30 minutes practice every day? Talk to them! Especially as they get older, you will want to do this. - If they can already read, it will be easier, though I've had many students that have learned to read music first. - Are You ready to work with them? All ages need at least some parent attention, the younger they are the more you will need to work directly with them, full time.

When will I start to see results?
This question can be very variable. The standard is 7 years to mastery. You should be prepared to stick it out. However, you should see a few things on the first day. Aside from that, a great deal depends on how much they practice and how Effectively they practice. If the practicing is sloppy or haphazard, without taking the time to check all the details first and then put it together using the method mentioned above for working a piece up, they may never fully work a given piece up. Music is full of patterns. The students need to learn to see and hear them. Learning the music 1 step at a time allows this. Typically 2 to 8 months to be able to play very simple Christmas songs using standard notation, depending on age and practice habits.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
1 - Look the piece over, very well. Looking for patterns and the overall shape of the music. Check all basic details, such as: Clefs, Key Signature, Time Signature and any directions on how the music should be played. 2) Take it apart. Look for sticky spots that might give you trouble. Decide how you will handle it and then practice them. 3) All practice should include: Making sure that you know all the letters, Clapping and then Tapping the rhythms out, Playing hands alone first and Then hands together. Practice SLOWLY to start and then very gradually increase the tempo until you are at full speed. Also, start by practicing section by section. It's a much more efficient and effective way to learn.

There is plenty of one-on-one between the student and teacher, but the parent is expected to help when the teacher is not there – for example, during home practice sessions. The beauty of this system is that the child is used to having observers close by at all times. Will there ever be a time when the child works on his music without supervision? Certainly, especially as the child grows and matures. But when it is ‘normal’ to have a group around you as you play, especially when the child is young, this is the first step in preparing the ...

When a drum is struck with the stick, generally speaking, it is the side of the bead of the stick that should be making contact with the drum head, as in this illustration: If a drum is too steeply angled, it will result in the tip of the bead striking the drum, as shown here: This is likely to lead to poor tone production, an increase in risk of damage to the drum head (as seen in ...
