Dan R

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Double Bass Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I enjoy teaching and watching musicians grow in their abilities. I like to give a solid base for a beginning musician to build upon while keeping lessons fun and interesting. Patience is the key, because I remember when I started playing and the more I practiced the better I became. I like to take our time and practice every exercise slowing until we become confident and then we will add some speed. Read More

I have a very laidback, low-pressure approach - if you didn't practice, it's not the end of the world! I think back to my own days of taking lessons and remember how much more I improved in this type of environment, and how much more I loved the process. The difference between these approaches can be night and day, both in results and morale out of the student (which, again, I know from experience as a teacher, but also from my experience as a student).

Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Music Keyboard

I have a friendly and laid back teaching style, maintaining student/teacher professionalism. How much or how fast the student learns depends a lot on how much they practice. For younger students I use stickers as rewards to help motivate them. I adapt to the student when it comes to the style of music we play or sing. Occasionally we may play or sing duets. I let voice students choose which songs they want to sing. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

My approach to teaching is holistic, positive, and gentle and influenced by my interest in music psychology. I begin by learning about the student's background, interests, and goals. Since goals can change as we gain experience and skill, I help my students discover the possibilities available to them as they study. One of the most important parts of my teaching is to help students learn how to practice in healthy, positive, consistent manner and to develop faith that persistent healthy practice will yield life-long fruits.

Sherman N

Instruments: Piano

I started playing piano since I was about 4 years old and I've been teaching since the summer of 2017. I passed the ABRSM Grade 5 Music Theory exam in 2012 and the ABRSM Grade 8 Piano Performance exam in 2016. I also won several music scholarships during high school. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Drums Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard

My lessons are designed to fit each student's level and area of interest. For example, if a student wants to learn how to play blues piano, I'll assign him exercises to compliment learning that idiom, i.e. scales, chords and rhythm patterns. people learn best when they are interested in at that moment. I use the same philosophy teaching drums and trumpet. Specific methods are tailored to the student's current ability and age. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Eddie C

Instruments: Bass Guitar Electric Guitar

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 not have a music degree from a university or college. When I graduated high school I was offered a scholarship to attend a private university but was unable to attend because my guardians thought it was not the best choice. I enrolled into Clark Atlanta University for a short time. I was in the jazz orchestra and classical orchestra for a while but I was not happy that my guardians made me go to that college. I was so hurt that I eventually went to the registrars office and left the university

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Normally I’ll have my bass and amplifier. I’ll have a list of scales to learn and also homework. I may have my computer to record our session so the students can hear themselves after the lesson is finished. This will help them in pinpointing certain areas that may need improvement. I may have my guitar also so the student can understand the relationship between these two related instruments. I may have bongos and microphones also. I may also have effects for bass and guitar to open up a new world of creativity for the student

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Not specifically but these are great methods and authors. One may find a great lesson book at the local library also. I believe if a student wants to make music and have results then the teacher must employ a plethora of techniques. I’m not opposed to these method oops. They are great tools. I usually provide a curriculum that is tailored to the students ability and discipline. I’m not the best at reading music anymore but I understand all of my notes and scales. The fundamental knowledge of playing the bass guitar still requires learning and understanding music theory

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I think that it would be a Parliament Funkadelic live concert from beginning to end. The bass guitar is a major element in the funk music the created. Then I would like to fuse that with a few Stanley Clarke tunes with Thundercat and Mono Neon as guest appearances. Then I would like to have Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten come improvise while I hold down a groove of my choice. Then I would like all of us to lear Funfe Stücke by Paul Hindemith all on bass guitars and then we go into a Jimi Hendrix/ Led Zeppelin tribute

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.
