Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
My goal is to hear that students dont even realize how much theyre practicing throughout the week because theyre enjoying it so much! I always encourage 5 minutes a day to startthat time will usually increase naturally. I take time to get to know my students because I love to incorporate their other interests into the lessons to help keep them engaged. As a lifelong learner myself, I always encourage this quality because I believe that allowing yourself to be a beginner at something new all the time really fosters all-around success! Read More
Instruments: Piano 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 setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. 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
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
As a first step, I will focus on students to get good fundamental skills as much as we can. It is alway important for all of students to bring next level. So, I will use some etudes and scale books published in the lesson, and teach some my original practice methods. I usually suggest the repertoire students should learn but I am always flexible to teach what students want to learn so that students do not feel being forced to learn music. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I taught formal lessons after I had graduated from college. I have also instructed family and friends and have helped them further develop their piano skills. Encouraging regular practise and emphasizing proper hand and wrist placement are things that I emphasize. I like to watch and see why someone is struggling to play a song, and I am able to offer a solution. I like to teach students how to play music that they enjoy: their favorite songs by their favorite artists. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I am an experienced, energetic teacher interested in meeting students at their level, learning about their goals and interests, and tailoring a lesson program that will challenge and excite them in the right ways. I have been teaching piano and voice since graduating from Northwestern University, and I've also worked as a music director and consultant on multiple professional productions in Chicago. As a piano teacher, I have successfully taught students just starting out through those at the intermediate to advanced level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Keyboard
I have been teaching privately for over 12 years now and absolutely adore my students. They teach me just as much as I teach them. One of my true joys in life is giving back the knowledge that was imbued on me from an early age. I like making the music fun, encouraging students to "play" rather than "practice." Integrating music they love into lessons is also a great tool, in my experience. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching piano for over twenty years and love seeing the progress in my students! I teach all ages, the youngest being 3 years, the oldest being 75. I teach all types of learners from typical to prodigies, and children with developmental disorders such as ADD, Dyslexia and autism, even cerebral palsy. My students learn the scale positions, scales, chords, and they learn to improvise and compose. They also learn to identify the chords contained in their repertoire. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
That depends on what the student is looking for. If they're a beginner and already have a book we'll typically work out of any material they already have. I will likely supplement that with other books and hand made materials when the time comes for that. While many times the content of a book may not be exactly what I want, I can utilize exercises or songs to introduce new concepts for the student to work on. Likewise, I may decide to edit the content of a book to suit the needs of a student. Many times the content may jump over some crucial technical element that needs to be addressed for the student.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I almost always start off with tuning my instrument. If the tuning is good I will take a little time to sit down and clean my fingernails up. I mostly play classical guitar so getting the shape of the nail suitable and clean will help me produce the tone I want. From there I focus on each hand individually. For both hands I keep it simple and focused so that I can focus on good tone production and technique. From there I will work on scales, arpeggios, repertoire, and performing. This way I'm sure to continue working on improving my technical abilities and the music that I wish to perform.
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 two degrees in Music. I bachelor degree is in recording technology. I wanted to pursue that as a degree because I had played in bands and did recording of our own. I wanted to get to know the industry and better understand the technology, science, and art of recording. My master degree is in classical guitar performance. While pursuing my bachelor degree i was required to study classical guitar. As my studies progressed I developed a strong appreciation for the style. By the time I graduated I wanted to study more and perform more than be a recording technician.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to play bass in a band a play Rubberband Man by Detroit Spinners. I love how groovy that song is!. The song isn't too complicated but it's just really well put together. Whenever that song comes on I can't stop my body from moving the until it stops. So I think it was just be fantastic to groove so hard and never stop moving while jamming on the bass. This is going to sound goofy, but I would also want everyone in the band to have synchronized movements too. That way everyone is having a blast!
