I worked at my local church as a piano teacher and taught each kid about basic notes, I was relaxed, made it fun and got the attention of the kid that I was teaching. I taught at my local church for about 2 years. I would learn music theory at wright college and apply it to my life for teaching. I am now 20 and I am hoping to acquire this job as a piano teacher.

My teaching style is relaxed and easy going. This is because I try my best to cater to my student's needs. My goal when teaching a student is to be a resource to help them reach their full musical potential. This can be done by setting realistic goals, practice routines and using tension free techniques. I also try my best when teaching to give my students a safe space where they can feel free to grow, create, and express. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums
I started teaching towards the end of high school and continued in college and beyond! I found it beneficial to be teaching students while still being a student myself. Having great teachers in my life has shaped my own approach to teaching. I discovered that when I was able to study what I was truly excited about, my capacity to learn and improve my craft increased exponentially! To that end, I encourage students to bring in original material as well as "covers" that they are interested in to build a repertoire. Read More

I began teaching in my sophomore year of high school. I was asked to be a student teacher at the summer camps hosted at the School of Rock Chicago. I learned a great deal as I taught rock songs to kids of all ages, prepared them to record original music, and helped direct their performance. I fell in love with the process of engaging a students learning style and figuring out how to relate to each student as an individual. Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin Music
I am a Suzuki teacher. I love this method because it places emphasis on the skills learned, which can transfer over into any piece, rather than just learning the notes of a piece. I do think it is important to learn to recognize what you hear and play by ear, but I will not let my students fall behind with note reading. I typically begin basic note reading in the middle of book 1. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
go over everything the teacher assigns, 3-4 times, daily. if that takes 10mins great! if it takes longer give the student less.
When learning a new element, initially, the brain is highly activated and performs synapses and usually can perform a3-4 more synapses. This is when learning and memory take place. When you go over it again in sequence, the brain is engaged, but if repeated too many times as in telling the student, "you must practice for .......minutes," the brain stops the synapses and the student may at that time be developing mistakes in the piece.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Typically, the student will express some type of interest in music. Oftentimes, the mother's intuition is correct.
The child will sing a lot, or if an instrument is available, they will play it often and at random times. Music in a public place may catch their attention. I've had a few students that the parents observed their child tapping their fingers.
Sometimes the child will exhibit traits that indicate a high intelligence yet communication skills are inadequate
They may draw a lot
They may exhibit bi-lateral difficulties, meaning the left-hand tries to perform right-hand commands
When will I start to see results?
All children learn differently, especially a child gifted in music. Some learn quickly and progress rapidly initially, some take much longer to learn and master new concepts and then apply that concept to another domain in the brain. A slower learning child does not mean that the child cannot get it. The teacher needs to be aware that the many many different aspects and elements of music are developed and established in many many different regions of the brain. each must be step-by-step developed and established. Then that information is transferred to the motor-sensory regions where everything is integrated.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had several uninspiring teachers and only one that inspired me to develop the depth of God-given talent in me. The un-inspiring teachers were critical and negative and we studied mediocre music. I have perfect pitch si i could read music but played everything "by ear". I was completely unaware that I was not reading the music score! I learned by listening and watching my teacher's hands. That was my first clue that one method of instruction fits all. It was my first step on learning about the brain and music.
