Instruments: Piano Guitar
I have a laisse-faire style of teaching. I am very relaxed and like my students to be relaxed. I depends on how the lesson flows. If we are making ground and they are picking up a lot I will give them more and more tools to work with to keep them inspired and moving! I love seeing people get excited. I feel excited sometimes when they are excited. It is an infectious energy and is filled with life. Read More
Instruments: Piano Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard
Throughout my career I have gotten to teach various students in both piano and bass. I have worked for the Thornton Community Engagement Program and the University of Southern California during my freshman year of school. During my time in this program I have found multiple teaching techniques to engage the student in the rudimental material of theory through their favorite songs. I encourage my students to find songs that they love for us to work on that way they can find the connection between their instrument and their favorite songs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
My love of violin began at age 19 and I joined the college orchestra after 6 months of lessons. I passed ASTACAP level 9 in 2019. I returned to Fullerton College and earned my piano pedagogy certificate with 14 additional units in performance, theory and child development. I have played violin in 3 orchestras over the years and hundreds of local church/wedding/studio performances. I traveled to China with Chapman Symphony and performed 4 concerts. I currently study piano and violin with local teachers. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Orchestral Percussion Conga
I have always loved music. I write and create music everyday. When I graduated high school I earned a band scholarship which allowed me to play in many different genres of music. I played in Big Jazz bands, Small Jazz combos, and pit orchestras. I toured with the Pittsburg State University Jazz Band and played timpani and snare for The Pittsburg State University Syphonic band. All four years. Fast Forward, in 2001 I placed an original piece of music in a film called "Punks". Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Synthesizer Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion
My name is Tyler! I'm from Pennsylvania, where I learned music from an early age! I started formal percussion/drumset, piano, and guitar lesons at age 8 and I have not stopped! Music became my life shortly after then. I eventually left high school senior year to enroll in cyber school because I joined a pop rock girl-fronted band. We were very grateful to have toured the country playing under some of music's biggest bands every night. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
I believe one can grow as a musician at any age, expertise, and understanding. I do use printed method books for my students to guide them along the process (Hal Leonard, Rubank, Taffanael and Gaubert Bernstein to name a few) for the child, methods and scales will be assigned to teach proper technique and positioning. For the adult, depending on their interests, different types of reading music material will be introduced. Read More

When will I start to see results?
Results can be seen within a week of practice. Depending on what instrument we study together, you will be humming along to songs on the radio, tapping your hands and feet to the radio, or playing piano on park benches (assuming you're a beginner).
If you're an intermediate student, you can expect to see signs of growth on your instrument within 1 - 2 lessons. If you keep with your practice routine, your chops (muscles) will grow, and you will start to build muscle memory.
After a year or so, the muscle memory will be deeply encoded, and you'll likely never forget the songs you've been practicing.
If we study for more than a year, the possibilities are endless! Generally I like to reassess goals yearly, and we'll set bigger roadblocks for personal achievement. Realize there is likely nothing you CAN'T do with enough practice and determination.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
A child is ready to start lessons at any age, especially if they show an inclination or attraction to musical instruments, percussive toys, etc.
Anybody who comes from a family of musicians can start any time, and probably will naturally grow into a musician based on exposure. If you have NO musicians in your household, music will likely be a new exercise, but one which will be a lifelong investment in your child's brain performance. Musicians have been proven to score better in areas of math and foreign language, because similar areas of the brain are engaged when practicing music. Music is, in essence, a language of rhythm.
If you're curious about your child starting music lessons, buy them a small drum, have them sit at the piano or keyboard, or start them on a recorder or other small instrument. If they enjoy it, they're ready for lessons!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice requires consistency. It's been shown that 5 minutes of practice daily can be more effective than a 1 hour session, 3 days a week.
Jerry Garcia used to wake up at 5am every morning to play scales, and the proof is in the pudding with this ability to play any style, any time, and perform fluidly for hours at a time.
Practice should be a labor of love, and one that you're motivated to engage in. My assigned practice will be geared towards songs you enjoy, songs we've selected together to work on, and something that pushes the envelope of your stylistic comfort zone.
