Ametra E

Instruments: Piano Voice

For beginner students who are children, I start with Bastien Piano Basics. Once the students understand the music concepts properly, at the late beginner level I transition them to Nancy and Randall Faber's Piano Adventures. In my experience, this method provides a wider range of repertoire that the children are familiar with and enjoy practicing! Read More

Gary B

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet

I teach piano classically by reading music and patterns. As we progress, sometimes the student gets disinterested. At that point, I introduce the chord method as well as the number system- having them play certain progressions as I prompt them to play. My teaching technique for vocal students are as follows: I find out what their forte is vocally and find out what key they sing a particular song in. Read More

Lendys D

Instruments: Piano Voice

I always had a great passion for teaching, and after having my daughter I decided to devote myself completely to this sector. I am currently working in 2 private studios, and as future plans I include going back to school and obtaining a Master's degree in music education for children with special needs since every day I have more and more students with special needs that I know I could help best!

Caroline D

Instruments: Piano

I use two pianos minimum for my lessons, along with recordings at multiple speeds in order to minimize the rhythmic mistakes so common in private lessons. Students are taught to make the connection between what they are playing and hearing, and what others are playing and hearing. Composition and Improvisation play an important roll in this connection, which is why I make it a part of every lesson. Theory is also taught, and testing is available for those interested, but it is only an option. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Arlette C

Instruments: Cello Music

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Masters Degree in Cello performance and a Bachelor's Degree in Cello Performance. Both these degrees focused on the study of playing the advanced-professional cello. I picked the cello out when I was 10 and ever since then, I never looked back because this is the instrument for me.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
There is a beautiful piece composed Ernest Bloch entitled "The Prayer", absolutely beautiful. This piece is gorgeous on the cello and after learning it several years ago, I would love to perform it at some time. I might have an opportunity to play this piece this year. This piece depicts the calm and quietness of the Jewish people. He wrote this piece for Hans Kindler, with the intent to capture the Jewish spirit and soul.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Assuming this question is truly about practicing and not a lesson. Then practicing should involve slow and thorough practicing by reading the correct notes, knowing which finger needs to be associated with the note. This should be done every day in order to learn each note. then on the 3rd day playing the entire piece. At this point, if you have some errors, isolate what is the problem, fix that problem after 5 times. Then back up one measure and try playing two measures together. If your problem is fixed then you practiced correctly. After this point, start from the beginning and your problem should have been resolved.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes I use String Builder by Applebaum. This book is very helpful because it is a step by step method, that way there is a logical order in which the student learns. There are other books such as Alfred, Hal Leonard, or Suzuki, but I am very happy with the String Builder.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the technique of learning how to vibrato is the toughest part of the learning process. It requires a lot of patience and due diligence of practicing. The process is slow and ugly sounding, but if done right it sounds great.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have two high school students who have won scholarships from Music Teachers Association where each received $300 towards private lessons. These same students are now in their 1st year of college and continue to play at the community level. In addition, one of my students played a solo piece with my orchestra 2 years ago when she was only 15.

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.
