Instruments: Piano Voice Accordion Keyboard
Music lessons will certainly broaden the students knowledge of music. It has been proven through scientific study that the study of music will improve the individuals cognitive ability and aids in brain development. Children who study music develop higher math and problem solving skills. Age is not a factor as we are never to old to learn. My students range in age from 5 years old to well into their 70’s, many of whom simply want to improve their skills or recapture the joy of making music. The study and enjoyment of music can and often becomes a life long adventure whether its just for fun or as a career. Read More

Having piano lessons is like opening the door to a magic music journey. Hanmina, as an experienced teacher, would love to share the good time with every student, and also to pour the knowledge to develop their piano skills through simple and clear way. Based on the having fun in learning the music by playing the piano, she is good at adjusting the teaching method for students in different age and character by taking care of their feeling. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Music Keyboard
I have taught many students about Music Theory, composition and the Saxophone, and have helped all of them reach new levels of fluidity on their instruments, gain deeper understanding of concepts, and develop more extensive knowledge of Theory, and how to apply it. It is a true pleasure to see my student succeed and have the Aha moment when a concept that they were struggling with, morphs into something they dont even need to think about. Read More

For kids, I'll start with easy but basic notes and chords. I try to make it fun like learning songs they might know. For young adults to adults, I'll do the same but on their level and the expectation is much higher than kids. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I've been playing the piano since the age of four. Music has always been my passion, and I love passing this wonderful knowledge on to others. I love teaching younger children, but I also enjoy working with people of all ages, including adults. I believe that music is not a "one size fits all" experience and that it is important to focus on the needs, aspirations, and desires of the individual. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
Everyone who would pay to have private music lessons is willing to learn from the teacher. I will have different teaching methods when it comes to different students, everyone has their own skill level and from different ages. But there are few things I need to say :I expect students to work with me so we can save more time. I will have students play and listen at the same time. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My earliest teaching experience was in my senior year of high school. While in college, I was required to do some student teaching, and this gave me a tremendous amount of insight into how best to approach being a music instructor. Since graduating, most of my musical experience has come from playing and directing choirs at churches, schools, and theatres, but I have continued teaching and enjoy learning different methods to share with my students.

Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My ears hear bass first, this is what most people hear. The Root of the chord is mostly played by the bass, since it’s a lowest tone.
There are 3 basic music fundamentals, Melody, Harmony and Rhythm. ( there are more fundamentals but these are the most important to a bass player )
Melody, states what the song is about, instrumental or with words.
Harmony, major? minor? The chord is built on the Root of the desired chord.
Rhythm, how is the root played? Whole notes? Half notes, etc, is the root movement more involved?
The bass player plays 2 of these elements, which ones are they?
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Learning the Double Bass, I wanted a music degree on electric bass but the program did not allow it, so I struggled with the double bass for 4 months, practicing and getting my callouses ready for school. As an adult in college, I was playing on a middle school level the first semester. This was tough, but with determination and practice, I prevailed and became a section player in the Norfolk Symphony.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
most of my students agree that they have learned something they didn’t know, I always want to hone in on something the student can’t play or does not know something about.
Some students learn the basics then move on to self study. When they have a problem, I help with it. My students succeed at learning new things, Like chords,
By knowing the chords of a song, allows the player to expand on the original bass line by Improvising, my specialty
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
On the Double bass is Intonation, playing in tune, by learning the positions and practicing, one learns where to place your fingers. Playing with other musicians hones this skill.
Play alongs help with solo practice, first have to develop your ear to what is right and wrong. Meaning pitch, is the note sharp or flat, and being able to correct the pitch instantly.
If this is a problem, playing a fretted bass might be a better choice due to the placement of the fingers in a general location instead of the only location.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use my own method, developed through years of experience. I will use a method book if it’s required by the student. Some have already started in a method, Hal Leonard is my favorite, but I use the Simandl method with beginning Double bass students, they will be in a orchestra or concert band and need to know the fundamentals of fingering to allow the best way to get around the instrument
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Jazz, this gives me room to experiment with harmony. This gives me the opportunity to interact with the other musicians in a real time atmosphere
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Started on electric bass, 4 string, moved to double bass, then added the 5 string electric bass and now play the 6 string electric bass.
Having the extra low and high strings, allows me to express more musical ideas.
