Wangui N

Instruments: Piano

When I start with a student, we immediately start working on sight-reading, as I believe it is a very important skill to have. Even the beginners students, all start sight-reading right off the bat, and build on the skill as they progress. As we go along with our lessons, we add on new concepts and integrate those into what is already learned, as well as incorporate them into music the student enjoys. Read More

Conrad D

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I was introduced to music early on by my parents. Being classically trained on the piano I started playing and writing songs at the tender age of seven. My early piano influences are Mozart, Beethoven and Gershwin amongst others. Growing up, I became even more influenced by Pop, R&B, Funk, and Rock artists from the likes of  Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Prince. As a teenager in high school, I performed recitals and played in rock bands, and picked up the guitar and drums to broaden my music repertoire. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Bass Guitar Harmonica Mandolin Electric Violin Fiddle Double Bass

I use a very concise methodology in my instruction. I evaluate the students level, from there I make a step by step guide (of selected piece and etudes) to show the student their progress into the next level. I also encorperate ideas in theory, history, and ear training. Also if the student has yet to learn how to read musical notation. that will be taught along side with regular instrumental lessons.

Frank D

Instruments: Piano

My method of teaching puts emphasis on the keyboard fundamentals that develop sound piano technique. I use a systematic approach in which the student progresses from their present level, whatever it may be, beginner, intermediate, or advanced, to their next level in a reasonable time. For students at the beginning or intermediate-beginning levels, I would choose from the Faber, Albert, Leonard, or Thompson piano methods.  I always give the student after each lesson a method of practice for the music/lessons required.

England N

Instruments: Piano Trombone Ukulele Recorder Euphonium Tuba

My teaching experience began when I was in college. I taught trombone and euphonium private lessons for several years in the school district that I attended when I was a student. Additionally, I also have done All State Masterclasses for the TMEA trombone etudes. Encouraging regular practice, building the life-long skill of discipline, and hard work are key skills that I enjoy getting to emphasize to my students, as it has a tendency to build student progression and ultimately gain a passion for learning the instrument.

Teacher In Spotlight

Mark S

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Recorder Euphonium French Horn Tuba

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
It starts with a small warmup. Just enough to recoordinate my embouchure, and set my mind in a musical direction. It has a set of goals I want to accomplish on specific pieces, or musical tasks. It has lots of breaks if it is longer than 30 minutes. Breaks are important for your face, as well as your mind. No matter what I am working on, when I start something new I begin by sightreading it. No stops, even if you have to hold the note and stare at the music to figure out what to do next. Do. Not. Stop. Then isolate hards spots, set goals, and start dissecting the music, first two notes at a time, then 4, then a whole measure, then a phrase and so on. Slowly practice each of these stages, get more succesful attempts than unsuccessful, then move on.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For my beginners I use the Rubank method. The method covers all the bases of the instrument, and does so with a mixture of resources to cater different learning styles, and give the student a comprehensive resource. For all developed brass players, I recommend the Arban Conservatory method. There is a version for every instrument, and Mr. Arban knew what he was doing when he put this book together. Every musical technique fundamental to brass playing is included in that book. It’s almost the last book a brass player would ever need.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Tone. It’s the most important part of our sound, and it’s the most widely misunderstood concept of brass playing. So many people have varying opinions on developing it. I approach it like this: be a singer in your head. Hear the music exactly how it sounds, your part included, and sing that message through your instrument. Tone has a lot to do with breath support, and most people will go their whole playing career not using enough air. The lungs get used constantly in our day to day lives, yes, but the need to be exercised. You don’t see someone who doesn’t work out squatting busses, now do you?

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My master’s recital was the highest level of musicianship I ever achieved. It was also the most fun! I also had a lot of fun playing both my senior recital and my junior recital at Miami. I was learning lots of new fun music for the euphonium! In 2012 Miami took the entire music department to Carnegie Hall! Fortunately that semester I was principal euphonium of the wind ensemble, and principal euphonium of the orchestra! I got to play lots of good band music, and in the orchestra I played The Planets, by Gustav Holst.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Long story short I didn’t, it chose me. The early part of my musical experience was on Saxophone. When I was a freshman in high school, I was helping my father work on a truck when there was an accident, and it left my right thumb in bad shape. I still have my thumb now, but at the time it meant I couldn’t hold up my saxophone anymore and the winter concert was a month away! On one of the pieces we were playing, the lead trumpet player was playing the Euphonium solo, but he didn’t like playing Euphonium. So my band director, a euphonium player herself, taught me to play the instrument, just in time to play the solo on the concert.

Although it was the first type of electric bass invented, a good P-Bass is still one of the most sought after types of basses on the market today. Turn the tone knob low and you get a deep, almost rumbling sound. Turn it high and you get a sharp tone that still has great low end.   The next most common electric bass type is the Jazz bass.

The bottom of the Treble clef symbol lines up perfectly with middle C. The symbols to the right of the C note are called rests. Rests are symbols that instruct musicians to not play their instruments for a specific amount of time.

This next example offers you a chord-switching technique that will help you develop a few tricks: Switching chords without looking. Feeling your way from chord to chord. Strengthening your fingers. Developing finger independence.   The approach is called The Common-Finger Technique. In this example, notice that each chord has one thing in common: the 6th string, 3rd fret played by the 3rd finger. This finger is common to all four chords. The trick to developing this technique is to “anchor” that 3rd finger ... Read More

If you want to write a compelling song, you might want to think about what makes a song great in the first place. For the sake of simplicity, let’s define a song as anything that has a vocal melody placed over a chord progression. A chord progression is just a series of chords that change and repeat, by the way. Start listening to music critically and begin working towards being able to identify the melody and form ... Read More

All you have to do is play a C# with the 1-2-3 combination and you’ll remember how hard it can be to keep certain valve combinations in tune. Compensating systems, which first appeared in the 1850s, added tubing length with certain valve combinations (often adding more valves), and such systems continue to be important to low brass instruments today. Trumpet players, on the other hand, compensate by utilizing finger rings on the slides to quickly and efficiently manipulate ... Read More
