Liudmila I

Instruments: Piano Harp

I am open, curious, and interested in learning what each student thinks. I love music and tell all students that music will be forever with them I am a very patient teacher during the piano lessons session and I am aware that students will sometimes struggle in certain areas of their learning of the instrument.I like to see the student smile when they leave my piano studio as well as when they come for their piano.

Karen S

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Trumpet Trombone Organ Accordion Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music Keyboard

I believe the ultimate goal of music education is to not create perfect musicians but to help our children, our neighbors, and our community have a greater understanding of the world around them. To help them see how they connect with music and each other. If a love for music is fostered as well then I am thrilled. But my main role is to teach all of my students and not simply cater towards the privileged, and talented. Read More

Adem B

Instruments: Piano Guitar

I am a dedicated teacher who loves to see students develop their passion for music and realize their goals. My combination of experience both as a private piano instructor and as a university professor makes me unique. I love to offer my academic knowledge to teach students not only how to play the classical piano repertoire, but also how to use music theory and history in performance, composition, and even improvisation!

Gregg D

Instruments: Piano Guitar Organ Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Set a specific time every day/week. Make sure the student doesn't eats a hour before the lesson. Put on your mind to "receive" mode and that there aren't any distractions in the room. If a section of a piece is problematic then we would work on that part first. A metronome can be helpful when practicing. If possible, internally sing the part you are playing. Dynamics exercise on the pieces section - take parts and play them from p to ff and down again. Read More

Owen B

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet

I am passionate about inspiring love for music in my students, and creating a supportive private lesson experience from which students find enjoyment and the motivation to develop their talents. Lesson plans are tailored to the interests of each individual student, so that their musical progress is a fun process that the student is enthusiastic about. I provide a friendly, encouraging atmosphere paired with expectations to reach realistic goals we set together. Read More

Matthew M

Instruments: Piano Voice

The key to progress is a solid foundation. For all students I will focus on core techniques and practice habits - from there we will dive into repertoire. Through our discovery of what music elicits a passionate response we will tailor our work towards building a foundation that best fits each student. Materials will vary widely based on the students needs. I employ techniques such as the Jaques Dalcroze Method and the Alexander Technique - both of which are rooted in the physical aspects of playing music. Read More

Joshua B

Instruments: Piano

Hello! I am passionate, dedicated, energetic, and compassionate educator and performer who loves working with students. I hold a Bachelor's degree in both Piano Performance and Political Science from Skidmore College, and a Master's degree of music in Piano Performance from the Mannes School of Music. With parallel interests in music and social justice, I believe that a music education should be accessible to all, and my goal is to make music lessons exciting, engaging and fun! Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Yingying W

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Having a proper ability of bringing out variety of sound and color, of understanding and obeying the original style regarding how to appropriately interpret pieces under composers' expectation. What makes it very hard is the mastery of voicing, ability for the tone quality control, and the ability to manage multiple lines at one time without disturbing the structure and texture simultaneously.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Have been mentioned in "My Methods" section.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Piano is a multi-layered voicing instrument, the harmony can be created on this instrument nor on other single melody instruments. I enjoy the sound of the piano and the touching of the keyboard. Piano is the only instrument that I have played for almost 20 years. Addition to the fact, I never learned other instruments beside piano, which I would have hoped to attempt learning a secondary instrument. I like that piano can possibly accompany many other instruments and singers. Range of dynamic and sonority are wide, which gives an unique character to create beautiful sound via such percussive-oriented instrument.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
While I was teaching in Gainesville, Florida, I have two students awarded with prizes in competitions. One was for Pre-College Piano Ensemble Competition sponsored by FSMTA and another went to the Young Artist Concerto Competition in Jacksonville. These two girls aged 16 and 17 years old respectively. Both of them are eager to play piano, and they're hard workers. In high school age, they squeezed times to have as much as practicing hours possible beyond their intensive academic studies in school. I set the goal for them and choose the competitions based on the categories of divergent sorts. During the preparing process, I worked hard with them for strategizing the effective approaches as to help them fix the problems.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm proud of myself that have been involving in music profession since my undergraduate study. I'm proud of myself to keep the perseverance as being a pianist, and actively play the recitals in different cities, venues, and for different audiences. By staying in the musical profession as a pianist, it requires many demanding things, such as adequate practicing hours, ability to prepare repertoires for upcoming recitals quickly, to read music fast and done the polish sooner than later, and so on. It also requires a great coping skills while on stage if neither of your physical or psychological condition is good.

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

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
