Brenda M

Instruments: Piano

I am a dedicated piano instructor where teaching piano is my greatest passion. I developed my love for piano having come from a musical family. I come from a family of pianists and piano teachers, choir directors, music teachers in public school, vocalists who sang in church, with rock and roll bands, or with big bands back in the 30's, 40"s, and 50"s, and composers. All throughout my musical educational experience at high school and at university, piano was my main instrument where I continued my study of piano and music composition.  Read More

Zachary A

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

I have been teaching privately for almost 4 years. I train students on whatever they want to learn, but make sure to incorporate the basic fundamentals needed for good singing I also spent time teaching in public schools as a high school choir director and elementary general music teacher. This gave me experience working with a wide age range of students, and helped me develop different techniques for different age groups. Read More

Sydney H

Instruments: Piano Voice

In high school, I first started working with kids through Special Olympics, mission trips, and church. As an educator, I am soft-spoken, patient, and warm, creating an understanding environment. My expectations of my students, though high, are extremely clear. It is up to the educator to modify for every student. I believes that the importance of music in the schools allows students to connect with each art and more importantly, themselves, foster responsibility, and discover a potential lifelong joy in music making.

Chayong L

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola

I'm well trained in the Suzuki repertoire and philosophies, however I teach a combination of traditional methods and also have the ability to exclude one or the other. For beginners and young children, I teach note reading simultaneously but separately from the applied side of playing. Holding the violin and bow, for example, are very challenging and require time to focus on them individually. Note reading is done on the side and later these aspects merge so that kids are eventually learning new pieces by reading the music directly. Read More

William G

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Lap Steel Guitar Banjo Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

No matter what the ability level and age, I try to find out what music the student is interested in. I do not teach from prefabricated books but rather teach songs to students and within those songs there are lessons. I have devised my own teaching methods which have been highly successful. For younger students, teaching traditionally can be extremely tedious and they can lose interest fast. I teach songs to my students and I find lessons within the songs. Read More

Carl K

Instruments: Piano Organ Accordion Keyboard

I have been successful over the years in learning what excites students musically and using that as a jumping off point to expand their interests. I teach a classical approach to music with an emphasis on classical music, exercises and good note reading skills. But I do not require my students to play classical music if they prefer not to. Because I perform classical, jazz, pop, rock and many other styles of music professionally I can easily teach any style. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Mariya S

Instruments: Piano

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
All I can play, improvise, or imagine.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I am a scientist as well. Have PhD in pharmaceutical organic chemistry. Music is a big deal of science, as well as art, and feeling.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I do perform classical pieces. My favorite is Bach. Play Well Tempered Clavier , Partitas. May be one day I perform the Goldberg variations.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I do have MS in Music pedagogy. I love music, love kids, love to perform, I also sing in choruses, professional and amateur. I did not chose that degree. The degree chooses me.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
There is no single "thing" to master. First, you set your goal, what is master means to you. Than, it is a complex of dedication, persistence, and love. It is also concentration, will to win, and agin LOVE. "THE WINNER HAS IT ALL".

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Has my own.( based on Russian school of music) Consist of 5-10 lessons( printed), depending on student capabilities. I prefer real methods, written by Bach, Schumann, Tchaikovsky, William Gillock, Scott Joplin, Glenda Austin and much more real composers of old school and modern. as well. I also use Diller and Quaile music pedagogy, Denes Agay books. if needed, prefer Alfred and Thompson books, as most authentic. All tailored to student needs.

When will I start to see results?
May be right away, may be never. Depends on: -how much are PARENTS involved in your child musical activities: the younger your child is the more help he or she needs. TRY IT YOURSELF.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My mother was my first teacher of simple song and dances. Simple lullaby to a baby is a real inspiration that does magic to your child. It is much more than any "motivational talk

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I did not pass the exams for violin for physical reasons (short fingers), and musicality. I do not have an excellent musical ear. I was offered piano instead. My musical imperfections are greatly improved with years of of training in different musical disciplines. However my hand problem was the one, that not allow me to continue as a concert pianist.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My accomplishments -My former students, to whom I taught life lesson of freedom, freedom of expression in music. My recent students, to whom I continue to teach this philosophy.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice every day. It could take any time from 15 min. to 15 h. Fingers are not readily made for moving around a key board. Need to build up specific muscles and постуре support for your fingers.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Just take your child to life concerts as much as possible, sing and dance with your child at home to any music available, or just to stamping, clapping, or using anything handy to beat the rhythms. Have fun withy your child, making any live music... You'll see, when to start lessons and on what instrument.
