Victoria B

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet

I have over 6 years of experience of private music lessons and have taught children anywhere from 4- 17. At age 15, I started my own freelancing private piano teacher business. It started small and locally, but I fell in love with teaching others and inspiring others with my passion of music. Ever since graduating Berklee College of Music in 2022, I knew teaching is what I know and love. I love watching a student develop a passion for music. Read More

Nicole R

Instruments: Piano Voice

I will push my singers to stand on their own two feet as musicians. Under my instruction, they will obtain the musical foundation necessary to make their lives easier when the gig comes along. They will have the sight reading, transcription, and ear training skills necessary to move foreward into professional settings. I want them to be confident in leading a band, counting off, reading the music in front of them, and picking up harmony on the spot. Read More

Nina D

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Viola Fiddle

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Essential Element's for Strings or Beth Lavender's A Better Beginning. These books introduce the fundamental position and note reading techniques in a logical progression. After the student has grasped the fundamentals, they are welcome to bring in contemporary songs. I find that a mixture of fundamentals and fun recognizable songs keeps students both progressing technically and connected to the music. Read More

Darrick L

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer Keyboard

Schaum piano methods for the exercises(FINGERPOWER), theory(NOTESPELLER), and REPERTOIRE(Books named after specific colors). I like these books because they progress from simple to truly advanced. For teenagers and adults, I use the All-In-One Alfred piano method.Starts appropriately for level and age. 1 book covers the theory and repertoire we will need. I believe that young children should have lessons no more than 30 minutes. For some older, intermediate, and advanced; the lessons can go to 30-45 minutes. Read More

Gabrielle L

Instruments: Piano

My approach to teaching music is holistic. I believe there are 3 important components that lead to mastery of the instrument: 1. Technique, 2. Artistry, 3. Comprehension. Technique: Understanding of the body and how it works at the piano. By this, I mean how to play using the weight of the body rather than brute force. Playing the piano does not require strong muscles or physical strength. It requires an intricate and fluid motion that comes from understanding how the hands/arms are connected to the rest of the body, and how they work together to produce sound from the piano.

I have taught high school band for 5 years and have been playing brass instruments since 6th grade! I have also taught beginning guitar and piano! I'm excited about teaching music to people who want to learn! Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Bass Guitar Ukulele Double Bass

I've had my songs played on national TV and at awards shows. I currently teach music at a private Academy in Nashville during the morning and love working with the students to develope their technical as well as musical abilities. I have a home studio where I keep all my instruments, guitars, basses, piano, trumpet and percussion instruments. Having traveled and played extensively in both the US and Canada, I have been fortunate to meet many different people of various backgrounds, and cultures, and consequently share my music with them.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice every day, even when you don't want to! The phrase "practice makes perfect" is true- the more you practice, the more skilled you'll become! It is important to practice a little every day. Studies show that if you practice a little each day, you'll be more skilled than if you were to practice everything in one day. This helps remember a little at a time. So don't wait until the last minute- practice for at least 10 minutes a day, and you'll be a pro in no time! I am happy to give you practice tips so you can meet all of your goals!

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My favorite piece to perform was definitely "Habanera" from the opera, Carmen. Carmen is sassy and confident and embodies all a sassy opera star wishes to be! I got to use my entire vocal range and hone in on my acting skills. It was the first piece I performed in Master Class in college, and I was so shy to get up on stage. After performing, I felt so much more confident and was able to perform any piece because I had gotten over the hump! This piece will always be special to me and will hold an important place in my heart!

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I chose my degree, Bachelor of Arts in Music, because it was the most versatile. My school only had a degree in classical voice, and I wanted to study a wide range of styles. I did not desire to be an opera singer, and I did not want my focus to only be on classical voice. I learned piano and guitar and practiced all styles of music- including classical, opera, musical theatre, pop, jazz, and rock. This made me more knowledgeable of different types of music, and it made me realize that the same fundamentals of vocal technique apply to each style of singing!

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I am incredibly proud of my student, Yana. She has won multiple awards in voice for multiple categories! She entered the American Protege competition and won first place in classical voice with the song "Nel Cor Piu Non Mi Sento". Additionally, she competed in many different categories- including self-accompaniment, pop, and musical theatre. I teach a wide variety of styles of voice and will teach you how to accompany yourself on piano and guitar, so you can go out there and start winning awards and competitions, too!

Composers and songwriters are tasked with the job of presenting the music they want to be performed in the clearest way possible.

Accessories Every Drummer Should Have

...Being a serious drummer involves a serious investment. Beyond the actual drum kit, there are quite a few accessories, percussion instruments, and pieces of hardware that no drummer should do without. Below are the drum accessories every drummer should have: Mallets – it doesn’t matter if the tip is coated with felt or yarn, both work just fine, but a good pair of mallets can help add a touch of finesse to one’s playing. Brushes – there are several different varieties of brushes, made from plastic or wire. Both produce slightly different results, but they are both substantially quieter and more delicate than playing with sticks. Brushes are a must for jazz drummers.
