Victoria O

Instruments: Piano Guitar

I started teaching private guitar lessons in 2018, mostly with adults. I have experience teaching pop guitar (reading lead sheets). I had the privilege of learning guitar from two guitar professors at the University of Dayton. Because of my music therapy background, I am open to teaching all levels and all abilities. I am committed to adapting/catering each lesson to the student in order to help them best achieve their goals. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I certainly have adopted the teaching styles of my previous and current instructors, each bringing a unique approach to teaching an instrument. Patience and understand is crucial with any students, and there needs to be a lot of fun and excitement within a lesson, otherwise, what is the point? Now, fun and excitement must also be met with serious practice time and great concentration during a lesson. My objective is to create a comfortable environment fertile for learning, while at the same time having my students know there are skills to refine and concepts to solidify. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar

Upon a student's evaluation every lesson with any student should form it's own branch or life of it's own. Music is a passionate expression. I help students understand their instruments. Self expression, individualism, and self composition are traits I sought as a student and musician. My joy as a teacher, instructor and mentor is seeing the excitement someone achieves when they finally feel the "got it" or are starting to connect the dots. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I started teaching lessons when I was 18 at a music business and taught there between 3 to 5 hours a week for about 5 years. For the past 5 years I have been teaching at IU. I have taught many different styles from classical to jazz to rock, etc. and have also watched many great teachers and tried to learn from their methods. I am currently working on a book to teach the notes and fretboard of the guitar that will hopefully be able to help students of any age or experience. Read More

Rachel M

Instruments: Piano Voice Flute

Music has been a passion of mine my entire life. I started piano at the age of 4, flute at the age of 10, and sang throughout. I have enjoyed performing in many venues from coffee shops to churches to big music halls; functions from weddings and funerals to special dinners; and just for fun with family and friends. My undergraduate degree from Wheaton College is a Bachelor of Music with a concentration in Psychology, and my Masters is in Music Education. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Flute Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

My goal is for my students to love music and enjoy the process of learning and growing and reaching their personal goals as a musician. Whether that's just playing for fun or preparing them for a recital or coffee shop gig or professional studio recording experience or preparing their part for the musical group that they participate in; I have helped my students with all these things. I strive to have a positive teaching style by focusing on their strengths and helping them achieve their personal goals. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Breanne J

Instruments: Piano Voice Music

When will I start to see results?
It is individual to each student, but I would like to confidently say that after three to four lessons you should start hearing results! It is all about singing in a healthy way, and perfection is unrealistic, so don't be disheartened if it doesn't sound exactly like you want it to sound right away.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
As someone who is really bad about practicing herself, the advice I have is to split it up into chunks. Pick certain skills to work on each day, don't just sing through the piece as soon as you get it. Start by listening to it a few times to get it in your head, then go over the diction and look up any words you don't know. Then, figure out the story of the song. What are you singing about? Then, start the singing process. If you split this up over a week of practice, it will be a lot more effective than just cramming it all into one practice session. For piano practice, I strongly encourage putting in at least 30 minutes a day of practice. Piano can take a long time to learn, and it can be frustrating to mess up (believe me, I've been there). Practicing for at least half an hour a day will make a whole lot of difference, and make you more prepared for your lesson. It is a lot about muscle memory for piano.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I have taken piano and guitar as well, but voice is the instrument that I am the best at and most importantly, enjoy the most! I took piano for a long time, but just didn't have the passion for it that I have for voice, and I found it much more difficult, so that is why I chose voice! I have also self-taught myself guitar, but I use that mostly for songwriting! (Feel free to ask me about that during lessons as well!)

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My voice teacher back when I was between the ages of 10-18 inspired me to pursue music! She always believed in me and my abilities, and gave me a great foundation for entering college. She went to Indiana University, as well, so that is how I had even heard of the college in the first place.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There isn't a yes or no answer to this question, but I would say once your child is at least 10 years old, and has shown some kind of passion for music/singing, then they are ready to start! A beginning student wouldn't need to have to start learning really complicated pieces or techniques, it is just baby steps at the beginning! For piano, I think that any age is appropriate to start! I know some kids who have started as young as toddlers!

Choosing a Saxophone Mouthpiece

...take home a few mouthpieces for a trial period (usually 7 to 14 days). Classical Mouthpiece vs. Jazz Mouthpiece   Saxophone mouthpieces are made with different purposes and applications in mind. Many jazz players play classical and vice versa. Young students usually start out playing classical and then venture to jazz, but still practice classical as a basis for good technique. A lot of colleges even combine jazz and classical curricula. There are even a few professional saxophone players that are known for playing both classical and jazz. If you plan on playing both classical and jazz saxophone, it’s a good idea to have... Read More

Clarinet Warm Ups: Exercises for All Levels

...  Warm-up routines are personal to each individual and are specific to each situation. You want to vary your warm up routine, on both a short-term and a long-term basis. You want to avoid monotony and make sure that you’re challenging yourself in new ways. Start with what you know, but always move on to what is difficult. Some parts of your warm-up routine, however, will remain unchanged. You may choose different scales or technical exercises each time you warm up, but long tones will always be a part of your routine.   The length of time it takes to ... Read More

Soloing Over Rhythm Changes

...an ascending and descending arch, and then go to the closest note (in the 1357 pattern) that would achieve this. This is a good exercise in basic improvisation. This is what’s called a “chord tone solo”. The idea is to create a solo using only chord tones (1357). My example is very basic. When practicing chord tone solos, you can use the notes in any order and should use more rhythmic variation in order to create rhythmic interest.     This example is a basic 1357 digital pattern used over the bridge.   When you’re playing chord tone solos, you ...

How To Write a Pop Song

...you feel like it needs a little oomph, consider writing a thoughtful bridge to change things up. Endings serve a similar purpose, but with an added finality and musical resolve.   When executed correctly, these sorts of transitional sections can add an elevated level of sophistication to your songwriting, but when thinking about how to write a pop song, keep in mind that more sections doesn’t translate to better songs. Daniel Johnston’s “True Love Will Find You In The End”—an indie-pop song widely loved by millions—consists of just two simple verses. No choruses, bridges, or instrumental sections needed. In songwriting, conveying a mood ... Read More

How to Use Belt Mix in Five Steps It should be emphasized that learning to use belt mix, like any other vocal technique, takes a lot of time and patience and should be done with the help of a teacher. Just remember that you are building the foundation for healthy, sustainable vocal production. Take a quick mental body scan—are you holding tension anywhere in the body unnecessarily? Are you locking your knees? Hunching forward? Gripping your jaw? If so, take a few minutes to do some gentle stretching to release tightness and set up a ... Read More

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.
