Instruments: Piano Voice Drums

Nothing makes me happier than watching a student progress and develop a passion for music. Therefore I think its important to let students grow and develop at their own pace. Setting realistc goals, acknowleging accomplishments, and challenging a student helps fuel their passion and increase their confidence! If a student has passion and confidence, tailoring lessons to their specific needs is easy! Read More

Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Keyboard

Hi my name is Josh and music has been my life ever since I can remember. I started playing piano around the age of 5 years old and continued throughout high school. During my middle school I picked up percussion and decided to focus on that after high school, going on to achieve my Bachelors in Fine Arts from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and my Masters of Music and Performer's Certificate in Orchestral Studies from Roosevelt University's Chicago College of Performing Arts under the tutelage of musicians from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Lyric Opera.

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

Beginning students will start out with technique practices, while introducing solo literature when appropriate. Technique studies can always be improved and studied, no matter a student's age or proficiency. I try to work within the repertoire a student is interested in at first, then expanding to materials and genres the student may find interesting to help broaden the experience and knowledge a student can gain from our lessons. No matter the age or ability level, I help students understand that each lesson and new idea or piece we learn adds to their experience, and experiences are building blocks for our futures.

Instruments: Piano Voice

Personally I am interested in many different genres of music (classical voice, jazz voice, classical piano, jazz piano, accompanying), and in college I was able to take many different kinds of lessons to fulfill my needs. As a result, I feel very comfortable teaching others about all sorts of different genres of music. Read More

Markeise R

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Music Keyboard

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by engaging students in conversations about realistic and individual growth goals. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Kyla G

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Music Keyboard

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
My parents put me into violin and piano lessons when I was 4, so I started very young. A musical education was always a necessary part of my life per what my parents believed, and as I have grown older and made this a career, I value this greatly. When I started doing musical theatre, I realized how much I loved to sing and that this was what I needed to do with my life. As an adult, I added the ukulele into my skills in order to accompany myself when a piano either isn't available or when I am traveling and need a small instrument to take with.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I was probably 12 when I decided to become a professional musician. I auditioned for my first musical theatre show: Cinderella Goes to the Hop. I was cast as a step-sister. I completely fell in love with music and theatre due to this show, and I haven't looked back!

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes! All of my closest relatives are either professional musicians or have incorporated playing a musical instrument into their lives! My dad and his siblings grew up playing instruments and are all professional musicians now as well as their children!

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have no clue! I have always done music and theatre. Life would feel incomplete without it. I have a few other passions such as photography and traveling, but I love those as hobbies. Once upon a time, I wanted to be a lawyer. Maybe I would have become a music industry lawyer!

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
This depends on my mood. There are periods of time when I only want to work on my musical theatre rep and times when I only want to work on pop music. I love such a variety of 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 always been super passionate about Musical Theatre. I did shows in middle school and high school. Life felt truly special when on the stage playing different characters, so I decided to be a Musical Theatre major in college. After a few semesters, I realized that I wanted to add more music education to my degree, so I added Music (Vocal Performance) as a second major.

When will I start to see results?
This can vary on a few things. How many days a week are you practicing? How long are you practicing per session? Are you practicing effectively, or just running through your materials once? What is your age? Have you had any prior musical background before beginning this instrument? What is your learning style? Lots of things can factor into when you will see results. Every person is different, so there is no set timeline. However, you are in total control in your progress speed.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm extremely proud of being able to perform at Lollapalooza with Bishop Briggs. This moment was so surreal that it's still hard to believe it. In 2022, I performed at McDonald's WWC with Musicality, and P!nk opened for us on one of the days. We had no idea this would be happening until we were waiting for the curtains to reveal us. Such an amazing and exciting experience!

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.
