Hugo S

Instruments: Piano Trombone Euphonium Music

My philosophy in teaching is: "Everyone learns in a different way". I like to analyze and help the student to find the simplest and easiest way to approach a piece or music in general. 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. Read More

George F

Instruments: Piano Organ

George teaches from the Hal Leonard Piano Series and focuses on sight reading, technique, theory, and performance. For advanced students, he encourages performance, ensemble playing, and group competitions.I have also used other piano methods that includes the Royal Conservatory Piano Series, the Suzuki Method for piano, and Piano Adventures by Nancy and Randall Faber. For technique, I use the Keith Snell Series for scales and finger exercises, the Hanon Series, and Carl Czerny. Read More

Clifford G

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Bass Guitar

It is rewarding to see a student achieve a strong desire and a sense of accomplishment when they begins to play the instrument of their choice. I believe that a person should learn at their own pace. With that in mind I try to set realistic goals and make each lesson understandable. Acknowledging their success helps build their confidence and knowledge which translates into the student wanting to practice more. Read More

Kyle W

Instruments: Piano Violin

For beginning students, I typically start with the Piano Adventures series. I learned from those books and they provide a well-rounded foundation of technique, lesson material, and performance material. That series also begins teaching basic music theory from the start. Piano Adventures is also great for visual learners- with pictures and diagrams to help understand the concepts in the lessons. My goal is to start students with strong technique and a practice plan.

Tia J

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Harp

I strive to tailor instruction to meet the needs of the individual student. For students who are at a beginning level, I often start with a reliable methods book (i.e. Piano Adventures) to lay a foundation. From there, I like to explore a range of supplementary materials that can help students work toward their personal goals and interests, such as modern/ other genres of music, composition material, technique-specific exercises, etc. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Coming back to goal setting, each student will want something a little different out of it from the next. So I find it helpful to ask and figure out; if there's a specific song they wish to learn, what some of their favorite artists are so we may get a grasp what style they are into, or just want to learn about music in general so that one day they may be able to create their own original work.

Meghan F

Instruments: Piano Violin Music

I began my teaching career in 2014. I was involved in a program where I worked under established teachers and observed them teach. I then took over their classes and received feedback and guidance from them. Since moving to Chicago in 2017, I have worked with a music school and taught private lessons as well as group lessons in Chicago Public Schools. I am trained in the Suzuki method and heavily rely on that in my teaching. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Paul W

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!

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.
