David G

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Drums Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard

I feel all students have the ability to actualize their creativity through the of study of a musical instrument. My students are given small musical challenges each lesson which will enhance their sense of accomplishment. Lessons are assigned to the student's current level. The lesson material will be internalized after repeated repetitions. To understand and perform a simple lessons leads to a profound knowledge of an aspect of music. I encourage my students to fully experience the joy of a lifetime of making music. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Double Bass

My method is to help students play the music they want to play, whether it's Miles Davis or the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I like to start my lessons by working on a song of the students choice to spark their interest. From there, I move to focusing on the students needs technically, rhythmically and theoretically. Additionally, I have my students practice improvisation, in some capacity, at each lesson. I want my students to feel comfortably making music on the fly and I set up low stakes environments for them to hone this skill. Read More

Sadi W

Instruments: Piano Voice

I started teaching privately as a student at Pacific Lutheran University. I taught a steady 4 students, while also doing coaching for the theater department when musical season came along. I have been sightreading music once before I could read English, and I am well-versed is several different sets of training booklets for piano. One of the only ways to learn music, is to have fun while doing it. I like to think my sense of humor can help dissolve tough lessons. Read More

Joseph L

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Mandolin

For adults, I always start off with the list of five: five songs and/or artists that inspire them. This gives me an idea of what they want to be learning in the coming months, and I create a path for them that leads that direction, from the very first step. We will spend a lot of time on the fundamentals (scales, chords, rhythm, sight-reading) but all in the interest of using these tools on the songs they love. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Drums Bass Guitar Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion

I am primarily a percussionist, with over 10 years of expierience playing and performing in jazz bands, marching bands, musical theatre, small ensembles, wind ensembles, and symphonies, and I was the principle percussionist for 2 years while I was in college. I also have 5 years of expierience on the trumpet, 15 years of guitar, as well as expierience with many other instruments. I love to perform as well as teach, and I believe that classical and contemporary do not have to be at odds, and I work hard to incorporate both into my own performances as well as when I teach.  Read More

Frederick G

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Keyboard

My main focus is trying to teach students HOW to learn music, so that they can eventually create their own methodology based on what works best for them. I have eight years of experience teaching private lessons, so I understand how to craft a curriculum to an individual's needs. Working with hundreds of different musicians has taught me that everyone learns music differently: some through sight reading, others with audio recordings, others still by watching someone else do it first.  We can work on specific topics during our lessons, but I can also give you a bunch of things to review/work on during your own time.

Brent B

Instruments: Piano

As a teacher, I will also be a coach to encourage the student to learn rudimentary and theory basics. These will be foundational for development as the student matures. Tactically, lessons will consist of playing for understanding. I look forward to a student questions as it is key for the overall learning process. In some cases, I will have to do some homework for the student!   I believe this combination of style and method provides a strong format to give the student a satisfying and confident background a music career as a soloist or to jump in on jam sessions and perform with others.

Teacher In Spotlight

Austin K

Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Keyboard Djembe

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I recently threw a really cool house show on September 1st, having live music, DJ's, asked a few local businesses to sponsor the event and charged a $5 cover at the door. I've been working several months to book this one band from Austin and finally they got back to me and agreeded to do the show. It was to my surprise that the lead singer found me at the party and asked me to join their band. I was so busy that night, I told him I would call him the next day. The next day, I give him a phone call and tells me his band, SMiiLE, is going on four week national tour and asked me to come along. I asked when they were leaving and he said in two days. The next day, I drove to Austin to have a rehearsal with them and they digged my playing and the day after, we got in the van and were off to make music across the country. It was definitely a risking move because I didn't know any of these people, didn't know their music all too well and dropped out of school that semester. But I'm glad I did because we ended up making incredible music on the way and it was such a beautiful experience.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Consistency of the groove. Being a drummer, you have to understand your roll is to hold it down..not solo all over the place with fills. Being mindful of the players around you and maintaining a good balance of sound is crucial. Having a good attitude is important too. No one is going to want to work with you if you walk into the space with a lousy attitude. Music is pure energy, and if you're bringing in this mojo like you know everything or if you would rather be somewhere else..then that's not going to take you very far.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Everyone and there mammas wants to be a drummer. Before there was a spoken language, cavemen would communicate with each other by banging on their chest and hitting things together. Ever since I was in elementary, I was always tapping my hands or pencils on the desk because I couldn't help it. I needed to be heard. My parents got me the video game "Rock Band" when it came out and I learned a lot of basic rock rhythms through there and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I simply wanted to get better and wanted to be the best. So I practiced, a lot.

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.
