Orlando M

Instruments: Piano Violin

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time. I encourage the student to see it , believe it and achieve all goals that can be set out to be accomplished. Practice on a daily basis is very necessary when gaining the passion for the chosen instrument. My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.

I also play and teach bass and other stringed fretted instruments, keyboards, and drums and percussion. I began teaching private music lessons in 1968 and began teaching professionally in 1989 at AZ Bible College. Read More

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard Djembe

For beginners, it's important to build from a solid foundation, so I emphasize on creating a strong understanding of musical concepts. From there, the student is able to decide on the direction they would like to move towards, classical, pop, etc. I typically teach through the Alfred methods, but am also flexible & have experience from teaching through additional materials that work best for the student. For students with previous musical experience, we decide together if the student would like to continue with their current curriculum or move in a different direction. Read More

Clarence G

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Keyboard

I believe I am a friendly guy at heart, so I tend to be friendly with the students. There are times where I have to tell them, for example, "You haven't been practicing.". But I try my best to do that in love while encouraging them when I see even the smallest improvement. I feel as though the key is to play as much as possible. That can be hard to do when you feel like you don't know how to play. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Cello Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Mandolin Double Bass Music Keyboard Djembe

Teaching is a huge responsibilty that I do not take light heartedly. If we as teachers do a suburd job, it will have a huge effect on a students over all life. Musical education teaches us about the mind and body and balance between the two. It teaches us logic, problem solving, and creative thinking in balance with eachother. It teaches us posture, breath, how to think. It teaches us to listen, and to communicate, to engage with others, it teaches us work ethic and how to colloborate with anyone. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Miranda S

Instruments: Voice Music

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I knew ever since I was a child that I was meant to be a professional singer. I even had dreams ever since I was younger about me performing music, my parents have my sisters and I on vhs tapes singing and playing the kiddy piano, and I had a heavenly encounter where I was singing in heaven in beautiful clothing.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Honestly, for me it is very hard to pick a favorite genre because I love them all, and I listen to and sing all genres. I will say however that I have a preference for music in other languages.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music definitely runs in my family on my mother and father’s side. Music, performance, acting, and the arts in general go back generations on both sides.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session for me starts with breath work, stretches, relaxation exercises, vocal warm ups, choosing repertoire, working on my theory workbooks, working on my piano, and I teach myself piano and other fun vocal things.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I was not a singer I would probably be working in the sciences. I love all types of sciences like the sciences of human behavior, the human body, plants, and animals.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in vocal performance. I did however, play piano off and on through out the years. And I work on my musical theory books.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform is “The Magic Flute,” “The Queen of the Night.” One of the four languages that I speak is German. And the Magic Flute is in German, and I love the high notes.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of the superior ratings that I have received from recitals, I have done many performances, and I have a lot of views on social media.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My hope is that when I start teaching my students will win competitions. I don’t currently have any students right now but, with hard work and practice there will be many wins.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think that sometimes it can be difficult to grow your range and develop confidence in your self and your instrument. These are things that I continue to work on daily. And it is hard not to compare myself with others as well.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I have developed some of my own methods. For example, I have learned animal sounds in order to strengthen and stretch my range. I was surprised at how many animals and birds make sounds that sound like the human voice.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose voice as my instrument of choice because I love to sing. I am also a dancer and I put my dance and singing videos on YouTube and TikTok.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
A teacher that I had from junior high all the way up to my age now inspired me to continue with my music. This teacher of mine has unfortunately passed on but, he taught me many wonder things that instilled a sense of pride in my many cultural backgrounds.

When will I start to see results?
I don’t try to put a time limit on a student’s improvement because it depends on the student. I can provide the students with all the tools necessary however, the students must practice applying them.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice and repetition are of upmost importance. I also love the fact that social media provides challenges that help the students improve in many areas. I would have the students do fun challenges to help them improve vocal quality and range.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You know by assessing the personality and the levels of the student. I also think that she and personality play a big role. For example, a child can be too young to begin lessons.

Key Signatures: What They Are and How They Work

...the one with the sharps.           Once we’re at the key of G, we’ll add one new sharp for every new key on the circle. Every new key will retain the old sharp we’ve already added. The new sharps that we’ll add are located a half step lower than the note that defines the key signature. For example, starting with the key of G, we’ll add in a note of F#. Then moving on to D, we’ll keep the F# we added and we’ll add a new C#. We’ll do this all the way down till... Read More

Blues Guitar: Origins and Fundamentals of Playing

...understand some blues guitar fundamentals.   Origin of Blues Music Blues music has its roots firmly planted in America’s shameful history with slavery. When the slave trade brought nearly 11 million African slaves to the United States between 1525 and 1867, African slaves brought their traditions and customs along with them, and this included their music. The unaccompanied songs the slaves would sing during periods of intense physical labor out on southern American plantations would eventually become blues music, and the bedrock of popular music around the world today.   The first blues sheet music was released in 1908, but the genre, which ...

Rolling in the Deep Chords for Acoustic Guitar (Adele)

And, it’s especially helpful when you’re not familiar with the song or there’s a section of the song that you don’t remember (Bridges and Interludes are notorious surprises that can derail a song’s performance).         Wrap-up   Rolling in the Deep is a modern classic. Begin strumming the chords to this song and there’ll be no shortage of singers that will begin their scorned-lover battle cry.   I hope that you’ve enjoyed this easy acoustic guitar arrangement of the Rolling in the Deep chords and I thank you for ...

Jazz Scales: The Augmented Scale

...to do with it. It’s a weird thing being taught a scale and then being told to figure out how to apply it. Applying the diminished scale, the whole tone scale, the altered scale, the blues scale, etc. is pretty straightforward. The augmented scale is not as clear cut. Maybe this is why it’s not taught so much, or why it’s taught at a later stage in a player’s development. I guess I could go as far as to say that the augmented scale is not the most useful scale. When you look for examples of professional jazz musicians using ... Read More

Jazz Scales: The Altered Scale

... The Altered Scale   When we listen to, study, or discuss music from a compositional or improvisational standpoint, we frequently talk about a technique called “tension and release”. What this refers to is a method for developing variation in music. It’s an approach to create interest in order to prevent a piece of music, or an improvised solo, from potential monotony; to keep music from being boring. “Tension and release” can be applied to music melodically, harmonically, and rhythmically. A few examples of variation, or polarities, that create “tension and release” are: loud vs. soft (dynamics), high vs. low (range), dense vs. sparse, consonance vs. ... Read More

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.

Ok

Are you sure that's your only availability? The more availability you easier it will be to arrange a teacher for you.
