I am Richard W., a Drumming/Percussion, Piano, and Music Theory instructor who lives in Riverside, CA. I have been practicing and performing for 20 years and have played professionally for the past 12 years. I spend my time composing new music that I perform in various venues around the country. I have developed relationships with notable figures in the music industry, including Bernard Porter and Black Violin. Along the way, I have learned valuable lessons that allow me to help developed musicians find their path to a strong career in music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
Each student is different and as such, each student's approach to learning music is different. While still addressing your personal goals, I work to help you achieve those goals and interests, but also utilize my own experiences in teaching to foster deeper growth. I focus on exploration, keeping the study interesting, all while understanding that each student can be at any level, and learn at any speed. I believe that both talent and potential must be met with effort for growth to be achieved, and that all students need some form of discipline and encouragement and make sure to serve both at every lesson.

Instruments: Piano Drums
My teaching experience dates back to when I was a student at the Los Angeles High School for the Arts. While pursuing my own education I also had five private drum students ranging from the ages of 7-15. I am fortunate enough to have learned a great deal about teaching all different ages from my father, who has been a private guitar teacher for over 35 years. During my time at Berklee College of Music, I taught group clinics and while our tour with the Karen Lovely Band I mentored mentally handicapped music students in the Netherlands with a group called United By Music.

Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching style is two part. Many teachers approach each student with the same routine and technique, and don't really listen to the issues the student has or wants to discuss. I listen to students' thoughts and observations, and address their issues and concerns specifically; as well as coming in with my own plan for what can be improved and how to go about achieving the students' goals and what needs to occur for improvement in my professional opinion.

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
My teaching background stems from being taught as a 4 year old and seeing the passion of those who invested in me and my future from a young age. I was encouraged to have a strong practice routine on a consistent schedule so I try and instill the same practice in both my vocal and keyboard students. I believe music is supposed to be a fun experience and always look for ways to implement fun exercises so that the passion for learning is increased. Read More

I have been teaching for the past 10 years and have always been passionate and dedicated to improving a students ability and maximising their potential whether it be for fun or for a specific achievement. I was head of music at two international schools in Stockholm, I taught in 5 different schools in Sydney and I built up my own music business of over 25 students in Stockholm teaching trumpet, piano and voice.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
As a child I often excelled academically and socially, but found a tremendous amount of jealousy and comparison both within and without. I found it difficult to identify my unique artistic voice, and often sublimated myself more than was necessary. As I stepped into adolescence I discovered that my unique gifts and showmanship had a place in the arts, specifically for singing and acting, and I readily found my tribe in that nurturing environment.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
It is my delight to have a Masters in Music that has been put to excellent use in my college, professorial career. Prior to that time I participated in the Broadway National Tour of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and worked as a professional voice over artist for MTV, EECI, Achieve the Core, Playstation and more!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They'll tell you! If your child is singing around the house at the top of their lungs, or using utensils to bang on the table, it might be time to sign them up for lessons! Music has been found to increase discipline, comprehension and academic scores. If your child is longing for more community, greater confidence and self-acceptance, the arts are a wonderful resource to utilize!
When will I start to see results?
This is the wrong question :) The most important shift in your child's life will most likely be internal, and relatively quiet. The moment of success is not the moment most apparent to the crowd. When your child is smiling, enjoying themselves and in acceptance of the full range of their emotions, the arts can be a valuable resource for bolstering their self-identity and fulfillment. Awards are important. Tests are important. Performance is important. But humanity and self-worth far outstrip any external result that is quantifiable.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Many, many teachers that have inspired me over the years. Bob Richard, from the National Tour of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" continues to be an amazing choreographer and director. Professor Al Clifft of Azusa Pacific University was a tremendous asset in my academic growth. And the unique relationships of family, friends and creative colleagues have added to my own unique creative diversity.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
For young children practice time can be easily included with other academic pursuits, otherwise it will mostly likely not happen. I also like to motivate younger kids with stickers, awards and candy, when applicable. External and internal rewards are a huge component of long term growth. I also offer steady performance opportunities for increased motivation...
