Ricky S

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

It has always been my joy when I see my students later on perform music that they love. Thus, I as a music teacher, would be more than willing to help my students sing and make music at their own level and eventually climbs up the musical ladder. To do this, setting standards and specific and realistic objectives are a must. During the process, regular assessments are done so that students know their accomplishments and feel more comfortable making music. Read More

Khetiwe K

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin

For the past 10 years, I have developed singers. As the musical director for my local church, I worked with singers who needed help with their skills in order to move from the choir to background singing. Currently, I work with singers in my band and vocal arrange for shows and tours. I actually found myself looking for ways to teach certain people that I would come across but I truly enjoy pulling out someone's potential. Read More

I started teaching music lessons back when I was 14, when friends would ask for tips or lessons, and local parents wanted lessons for their children. I fell in love with the act of helping others to realize the music inside them, and have been teaching consistently ever since. Learning any musical instrument involves learning about oneself. The student and teacher must work together to define their goals, be comfortable confronting shortcomings, discover how they learn best, and find the patience and drive to practice for long enough to get better.

Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone Drums Synthesizer Euphonium Tuba Music Keyboard

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Thank you for taking the time to read this I look forward to working with you. Read More

Matthew S

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Double Bass Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I always start with the absolute foundation and fundamentals of music. I find when I start teaching students that have taken lessons previously, there are many holes in their understanding of their respective instrument and understanding of music in general. Consistency and steady progression is vital. What method books I recommend vary depending on the instrument and will be discussed prior to the first lesson. I encourage all students to come prepared with pencils, folder, staff paper and approved method book. Read More

When will I start to see results?
Similar to the question of when to start lessons, results are based on several factors before it really shows. If students' pacing are fast, and learning experiences are positive, the results would show earlier than later. However, it all depends on students' learning ability and the effectiveness of the communication between instructors and students. Better interactions during the lessons, practicing results should be more rewarding. What is ensured to the results is coming from once students follow the tips and instructional guidelines well from the lessons, the outcomes with positive results will arrive eventually.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first teacher while I was learning piano in my hometown is the person who encouraged me to go into music. Her teaching style is inspiring, and that's how I like to take piano lessons from the very beginning. She is a great person, not just dedicated during lessons, but also is willing to spend extra times chatting with me outside the lessons. Her teaching style is disciplined but not strict, at one point I've been told that I have to follow with the rulebook, on the other side she cares very much about my creative thinking ability.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Concentrating well, rather than mechanical practicing. Sitting in longer hours to practice would not help students play better. Practicing with appropriate strategies is important, as the instructor should emphasize the main focus and working aspects for students at each lesson. Regularly remind students their concurrent problems, letting them aware of what they need to work on, and what you would like to see in next lesson. If students have obstacles in practicing, or having a hard time to overcome the troubles, never discourage their ability, offering some effective suggestions and help them to overcome the difficulties. Once they gain the improvements from practicing, they will feel rewarding and like to practice more.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There is no specific timeline when to start lessons. It could be started from completely zero without even knowing how to play a single note. I personally would not recommend start piano lessons too early. I think the ideal beginning age is around 7, earlier or later within a year is alright. If kids have reluctant attitudes or being negative when they're connected to the piano lessons, I would encourage parents should not force them to take lessons yet, in contrast give them some pre knowledge and explain the potential fun facts of learning piano.

Most lead sheets don’t have bass lines or drum parts or harmonies, etc. Instrumental arrangement is open for the arranger or performers to decide.     Form: A lead sheet has a form in the sense that AABA or AAB or ABAC or ABA are forms. A lead sheet does not, however, have the performance form. If you play a lead sheet through, as written, one time, in a performance setting, that would be a pretty short performance.

If you are a musician that likes plenty of light, the bar of LEDs may be better for you than the single or double LED bulbs. Just make sure to get the kind that is battery operated, as these are easier to use – there is no power cord to plug in or trip other musicians.

You can play the chords in standard tuning, but the only way to get the lead line to sound right is by tuning down a half step (see the attached tab and sheet music for this lead line as well). The majority of the song is three chords: F#, B, C# then back to B (remember that if your guitar is tuned down a half step play these chords starting on the third fret). Each chord is played for a half measure. In the beginning of the song each chord is played as a full chord then for the chorus kick on the distortion and play ... Read More

...more forward motion through a bit of syncopation in the bass drum:     And speaking of syncopation, this now leads us to:   The Delayed Backbeat   Another common technique of rock drum beats is to delay one of the backbeats by an eighth note. I believe that we could also think of this as a derivation of the double backbeat- in other words, a double backbeat with the main stroke missing. I say this because things can get a little murky once we get into the concept of ‘ghost notes’. More on that in a later installment!   Here is an example that interestingly is ... Read More

Five Essential Drumming Styles for Every Drummer

...Different styles of music require different styles of playing, and this is no exception for drummers. A good drummer can be great in one particular genre, but a great drummer is well-versed in several different ones. Each style requires a different approach and possesses its own sense of rhythm and timekeeping. Here are five essential drumming styles for every drummer: 1.) Rock and Punk – these two are the most energetic genres for drummers. Players not only keep time, but can also add an extra flourish to their playing by way of playing “fills” on their drums between beats. Punk music is often faster and more aggressive than rock music. Some notable Rock drummers include Keith Moon of The Who, Dave ... Read More
