Rittika G

Instruments: Piano Clarinet Recorder Bassoon Keyboard

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students having fun! My goal as an educator is to engage every student through fun games, activities, and chamber music no matter how much experience they have with music. Students are always encouraged to explore different styles of music. In order to track a student's performance and progress, they are required to have a journal. In their journals, they will keep track of their goals and evaluate themselves. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Keyboard Electric Guitar

I'm a motivated, passionate instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In 2000 I graduated from Full Sail University with a Bachelor of Science and Arts. Composing and Songwriting has taken me around the world and has been the most rewarding experience of my life. I've had the opportunity to work with and play along side legendary artists that I've grown up listening to and admired. Read More

Megan G

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Clarinet

For piano students, I like to use the Alfred courses.  This method is great because they have courses of study for all ages and levels, and students can progress through several courses throughout their study.  For flute/clarinet students, I like to start with either Hal Leonard's Essential Elements or the Rubank methods books.  Once students have moved beyond the basics, I like to introduce solo repertoire that is appropriate for their level.

My teaching experience dates back to my Poland days, as I began teaching private lessons as a student of Music Academy of Wroclaw. When arrived to USA, I had my private studio in Chicago, where I lived for ten years. When I moved to Arizona, I continued to do what I love. I can teach students of any age.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxcxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxcccxxxcxcxcxxxxccccccccxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read More

Michael S

Instruments: Piano

I am a unique teacher who realizes that not every student is the same, or wants to learn the same type of music in the same way. I almost consider myself more of a COACH than a teacher. Yes, I do teach, and I am classically trained. However, I am more suited for the beginning/intermediate/late intermediate student (13 years of age or older) who wants to learn NEW ways of playing and performing a variety of music. Read More

Mengyu L

Instruments: Piano

The most important thing for me is to see my students could find their favorite pieces and develop a passion for music, that's the basis for them to progress at their pace. Also, I will help to set up weekly goals for my students, to encourage them to arrange their practice. So during that process, they will recognize the importance of accomplishments and encouragements to keep their passion for music, to desire to learn more and make more progress on the path.

Teacher In Spotlight

Mylynda S

Instruments: Piano

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Having a detailed practice plan, covering all areas of the lesson given, and then specifically outlining what is expected to reinforce this concept, is vital for success. I have instilled the 'honor system' when a student checks off their daily accomplishments. This teaches responsibility/dedication/honesty. Five days per week of practice time is a good guideline for most students. Setting a specific time to practice helps. A student should have food and water in their tummy, prior to practicing.

When will I start to see results?
Most students that can comprehend simple directions can play after one lesson a basic tune learned by my direction. For instance, a beginner can be shown how to hold their hands properly to execute a tune on Black keys only. A familiar tune, following a sequence of patterns is easily learned by rote. Also, a young beginner that knows the alphabet A-G can learn the sequence of the musical alphabet. Practicing these basic technics is fun and rewarding. I can easily figure out one's interest level quickly., creating a rewarding experience.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My father's work required many miles of travel on the Navajo reservation on a daily basis. He came across a driver on a long barren stretch of highway that had a flat tire and stopped to assist. Conversation led to discovering the driver was hauling a new piano back to his store in Flagstaff, AZ. The family that ordered the piano lived in Page, AZ and was disappointed in the finish. The driver asked my father if he'd like to see it. A couple of hours later, my mother and father purchased the instrument. Yes, he drove it to our home in Tuba City. My parents

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of my successes as a much sought after piano instructor, for some students and their families, over two generations. What a pleasure it is to have student's approach me at community, school, and church events with excitement! I am honored to see many of my past students embrace music in various forms, many times by self-reports. These relationships were not cultured with the intent of expectations by me. I was simply a vessel to encourage a talent and appreciation of music. Lucky me.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Seven of my students ranging from 8 - 14 were in a concert association competition. Their bright minds were filled with knowledge that they were a guest at the event to share their favorite piece with a special group of people. each of the seven placed first in every category. I taught a current popular performing artist fundamentals that now support their musical career. When dedicated, a teacher has the opportunity to encourage self esteem, self discipline, and the love of an instrument. I believe this is a cornerstone for positive progress. Eighty seven students later, I am confident stating , "Every student is capable of becoming an award winner in my book." It isn't always a physical, tangible award. Sometimes it is about self accomplishment, meeting a personal goal that has been set by the student.

A Quick Guide To Playing Indie Guitar

...in this article.     Drop The Distortion   This is by no means a hard and fast rule, but lots of indie guitarists have opted for clean tones over noisy and distorted ones. Indie bands are experimenting with sharp, clean tones played through delay effects pedals. This departure from distortion forces bands to rely more on melody lines than they used to, and the results are impressive. Check out Real Estate’s song “Darling” for an example of clean indie guitar work at its finest:     Pack Up Those Power chords   Indie guitarists have largely ditched the thick, chunky sound of power chords.

Mastering the Cello Repertoire: Twinkle Variations, Dvorak Concerto, and What Lies Between

...from enthusiastic beginners to promising young professionals: it is only a matter of time and a little bit of stubbornness. It is important that any course of musical study is guided by a pedagogically informed progression of repertoire. It is both effective and more rewarding to study pieces with objectives that can be fully mastered, an approach that will solidify new technical skills, encourage a sense of accomplishment, and pave the way for future success in more challenging aspects of the cello repertoire. For this reason, finding a knowledgeable teacher who is able to inspire and guide students along each ... Read More

Jazz Scales: The Diminished Scale

...functions in jazz. In jazz education, we often talk about “chord/scale relationships”. The meaning of this phrase is intuitive. It simply means figuring out how each scale relates to each chord and vice versa. The two diminished scales function in different ways. The “whole/half diminished scale” works over a fully diminished seventh chord. If you look at the scale, every other note is a part of the chord. The notes in-between act as leading tones to the chord tones. The “half/whole diminished scale” works over a dominant seventh with a flat nine and/or sharp nine chord. This is why some people call it the “dominant diminished ... Read More

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.
