Gloria G

Instruments: Piano Violin

I have taught private lessons, part time for over 15 years. The instruments I teach are the piano and violin. I find that students progress more with regular short intervals of daily practice. I like to make the music fun with songs that children like and then have other books with the basics. For adults I like to start with folk songs, classical music, and showtunes. My students learn with a variety of books from a lesson book to a notes speller to a classical book. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to when I was in high school, when I began teaching beginning students of all instruments 10 years ago. I have been consistently teaching students in their homes, my home, and online for the past 5 years. Ive found that introducing students to as many different styles of music as possible goes a long way in helping students enjoy playing their instrument and listening to recordings of their instrument.

Instruments: Piano Voice

What you put into anything is what you get out of it; its the same with vocals. I customize lessons to help you get to your voice and/or stay with your voice. However, you have to know the basics and if those aren't there, that will be the initial focus. Read More

Yaocheng Y

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

Peter R

Instruments: Drums Music

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Playing the drums is a lot like tapping your head and rubbing your belly at the same time. Most people can't do it at first but if you practice it you can master it. Playing drums requires control and independence of movement, and only practice can get you there, however, practice is not about playing what you're good at. In fact, effective practice means practicing what needs work. If you practice and find that everything you're you play sounds perfect, then you are not practicing at all. Challenge yourself daily and understand that practice is the time you spend learning the lessons your instructor teaches you, including new concepts, methods, and new techniques, which means you may struggle at first. The sound may not be great but that's your brain and body working together to "figure out this puzzle". I always tell my students to "practice slowly". Just like tapping your head and rubbing your belly, practicing slowly gives your brain a chance to process everything you're body is doing. It helps to make the necessary mind/body connections to build muscle memory. Once you build that memory, the next challenge is a bit easier to handle. Take a break during your practice time. You'll find when you come back after 5-10-15 minutes that you will execute the lesson with far more precision than before. CREATE A SPACE It's important to create an area in your home that you dedicate as your practice space. Hold it sacred. Keep your sticks, books, and practice pad (or drum set) set up and ready to go on a moment's notice. Practice everyday. If you don't have the time or energy one day, that's ok. We all have those moments. But DO pick up the sticks for 5-minutes, hold them in your hands and, if so inclined, practice one short exercise. STAY CONNECTED TO YOUR INSTRUMENT Stay connected to your instrument. Avoid distractions during practice sessions. Turn off your phone/TV. Close the door behind you and dedicate a minimum of 30-minutes a day, everyday. Practice makes perfect. Also, it's important to have fun. Don't stress over practicing. Keep a positive attitude, and know that you are getting better everyday. Sometimes progress will be quick while others a bit slower. You may master one technique in a matter of days, weeks, or months, while other techniques require a lifetime of practice. They say it takes 10,000 hours be an expert at something. There's no time like the present. Start now!

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.
