Aaron M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Viola Drums Electric Violin Fiddle Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Djembe Acoustic Guitar

For beginning students I always begin with a methods book, I believe that good fundamentals are what makes a good musician, but I also teach ear training methods thereby giving the student the best in both worlds. Once the fundamentals and foundation are efficient, then according to the instrument I move to solo repertoire or experimentation or interpretation. I believe finding a students passion and making the learning experience as educational and enjoyable as possible. Read More

Mason B

Instruments: Piano Trumpet

I always want to see students succeed, especially at their given pace. I never want to be known as a mean teacher or be too strict with my students. I want to be a friend and a good guide for them to succeed as best they can. However, I do not want to be too laid back for when it comes to helping certain students really put in the time and practice. Read More

Noor J

Instruments: Piano

I am a piano teacher who came from a culture that does not really appreciate music. I lived there for 24 years, and I had not had the chance to pursue my dreams in music. Now that I am here having the freedom to work towards achieving my goals in music, I am studying, teaching music, expressing and sharing my love for it. I started teaching music officially in 2010, but before that I had given training courses and private lessons in some churches, and that was starting from 2005. Read More

Daniel T

Instruments: Piano

I carefully watch and listen to my students' progress. If the material selection seems hard, I encourage him/her to take such material at a later time. Depending on the age of the student, I had students from those who looked up to me for guidance of music to those who set their own music goals. As a result, I adapted myself to the level and age of my students wishes and goals. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Brenden N

Instruments: Trumpet

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Focusing while you practice is a big part of practicing EFFECTIVELY. The whole point of effective practicing is to fix a problem in 10 minutes, which would normally take 45 minutes. Practice slowly, use a tuner, use a metronome, and PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU PLAY.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
A child is ready for lessons when they feel like they are ready to excel and become serious about their music. Skill level does not matter, as a beginner can be serious about music while and advanced student can be casual about music.

When will I start to see results?
It is hard to pinpoint when a student will put out results. Typically, students go through phases where they become more skilled quicker, or could barely make any progress. It doesn't mean they are not working, it just means that their brain is still piecing together what small detail is needed to make something just a little bit better.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My private teacher in high school, Andrew Gushiken, trumpet player in the Navy Fleet Band, was a large influence in my musical career. He introduced me into the more professional side of playing trumpet, and showed me that I could do it as well if I work hard enough.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My father was a trumpet player, so it seemed natural that I would play trumpet as well.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Performing with the OSU Trumpet Ensemble Silver included some of the most important performances I have experienced as a musician.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Some of my students have been selected to play solos, or participate in higher skill ensembles. My students that succeed truly enjoy creating music with their instruments, and when a student enjoys what they do, they will typically expel that to their audience.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Creating a tone that satisfies the musician who creates it can be very difficult. Our ears can tell us if it is wrong, but most of the time, our bodies do not know how to fix it, and get it exactly where and how we want our tone to sound.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Hal Leonard is great for beginning musicians, as it is incremental so a student does not take on too much at once.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
5 minutes of mouthpiece buzzing 15 minutes of Stamp Flow Studies 25 minutes of the Vacchiano Trumpet Routines 10 minutes of Clarke Technical Studies 10 minutes of Irons 27 Groups of Exercises 20 minutes of Etudes 30 minutes of solo work 30 minutes of excerpts 30 minutes of extra time to work on anything else that needs work

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's of Music Education, because I personally enjoy the teaching of music, rather than the sheer performance of music.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
There is too much great music to choose a favorite to perform.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Neuroscience, the brain is fascinating in its function and abilities.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Classical. The amount of color that is expelled through classical music is truly amazing. There is so much art in classical music.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started playing piano when I began composing music. Piano is a very useful instrument to understand at a basic level, as it can influence musicianship.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My father was a trumpet player in Denton, TX. He passed his trumpets down to me and was my first teacher.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was gradual, my love for music increased every year in high school, until my senior year of high school when I decided I wanted to do it for the rest of my life.

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.
