Marjorie L

Instruments: Piano

One of my greatest joys in life is observing a joy in piano! Therefore I strive to administer the elements of music to the student's learning style, how they would use piano for their own enjoyment and for their families enjoyment. Each student is different with different goals, desires, learning styles, and objectives. Teaching according to the individual's learning style, expectations, desires, and goals is critical in piano development. The teacher must discard the concern for only the superior students in his studio because some students have learning impairments and put the individual first. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Clarinet Bass Guitar Synthesizer French Horn

A very important aspect to my enjoyment of all of these pursuits is the degree to which they actually connect and overlap with many other topics and disciplines- science, mathematics, visual art, language and sociology all intersect with music at one point or another. This indiscriminate enthusiasm that I have for all music and all topics is something that I am very excited to share with and impart upon my future students- and that I have every intention of carrying with me into each lesson that I teach.

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums

My methods are executed with one core value in mind: create a life long learner and lover of music. This means I establish the fundamentals of theory with beginning students and reinforce them with intermediate students. Before an instrument is played, the concepts of rhythm, note value, and scales must be approached in an engaging way. With collaboration over curriculum, I would work with the student to find his/her interests and inspiration, making the journey worthwhile and fun! Read More

Beth P

Instruments: Piano Flute

I have used many methods books for piano and flute. When I started teaching lessons, I lived in a military town. Since these students moved a lot, I would continue teaching out of the books they were currently using to keep they're progress consistent. I still have this philosophy unless a student is unhappy with their current method. When I start a beginning student, I like to use Alfred's Premier Course. Read More

Grover N

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Synthesizer French Horn Keyboard

I usually prefer a phone call or use the first lesson to guage the interest level, previous experience, and goals of the student and/or parents. I have used a variety of teaching books and methods, and will generally try to contour my methods to the needs of students while also keeping costs low. I do not often rquire students to purchase expensive music books, and prefer using repetoire and music directly relevant to students long and short-term goals. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Adrian B

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone French Horn Tuba

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was lucky enough to have been born in a musical family. My mother is a piano teacher and my father is a violinist. As a child, there was always music in my home, both from my parents and their friends. My mother taught me piano lessons while my father took me to see the orchestra in which he played. My parents had a music school where I also took general music classes, and learned to sing. By the time I was 12 years old and began to take trumpet lessons, I had a solid foundation in solfege, reading and writing music.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Focus on what you don't know. There is always something new to learn, so it is important to focus your practicing on new music or skills that you have not yet mastered. Avoid practicing for long periods of times without resting. Ideally, the most effective way to practice is in short bursts throughout the day. This will keep you engaged in what you are doing and will also keep you from becoming too tired physically. Listen to the best music possible. Music is about imitation, so if you imitate good music you will sound good.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The average age for a child to begin trumpet lessons is between 9 and 10. Depending on the child, he/she may be able to start taking lessons as early as 8 years old. If your child is much younger than that, do not shy away from music. This is a great time to get them started with piano lessons as well as general music classes that will greatly contribute to their overall intellectual and psychological development. A student that begins to play another instrument after taking piano lessons is much more likely to succeed and develop faster.

When will I start to see results?
This will depend on many different factors such as; if the student has an instrument or is able to have a place to practice, parent involvement when practicing, previous musical knowledge, if the student was taught good habits or not, current level of student (beginner, intermediate, advanced). If the student is starting from scratch, they may be able to produce a sound right away or it may take a couple of lessons. As for the intermediate students, he/she will see an improvement in their sound in a month or two. For the advanced students, change is much more difficult than the beginners and intermediate students so it will always take more time, however the results tend to be more drastic.

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.
