Brooke B

Instruments: Piano

My teaching experience dates back to when I was in middle school, and I taught my neighbor's kids. Since then, I have had several piano students. I have also worked for a school district as a Substitute Teacher where I had the opportunity to teach a variety of subjects and work with a multitude of students. I would like to expand on my private teaching experience, as teaching and playing piano have always come naturally to me. Read More

Robyn R

Instruments: Piano Cello Music

I have been a musician almost my whole life, starting out as a singer in a children's church choir when I was five. I started playing cello in the fourth grade through the public school system in California. I am classically trained, but I love all different styles of music. One of my strengths as a string player is improvisation. I have played with many different pop, rock, and folk bands over the years and that's the kind of music I enjoy playing the most. Read More

Wangui N

Instruments: Piano

One of the things I love about teaching is watching my students grasp the musical concepts I teach, as well as see how they all relate. Each student progresses at their own pace, some faster, some slower than others. I tweak my teaching style to meet each student's unique abilities, so as to assist them in reaching their potential. Together with teaching my students the basic concepts of music, I also work with them on musical concepts and types of music that they are interested in. Read More

Sherri K

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard

My teaching style is more hands on approach, I have a lot of opportunities for my students to perform. I believe that actually playing the instrument will make them better players and performers. Even when a student sign up for private lessons, I have opportunities for them to perform in groups. I think that students learn better when they have the chance to perform in a group. I also hold master classes for the students to learn from. Read More

Martha C

Instruments: Piano Cello Music Keyboard

Depending on my student's age and skill level I usually have them begin with Suzuki books, Essential Elements books, or a combination of the two. As students advance I often incorporate etudes and/or exercises by Lee, Dotzauer, Galamian, Mooney, Sevcik, Duport, and Popper. While ear training is an essential skill that I teach to all of my students, the younger a student is the more I'll have them "play by ear" instead of reading sheet music. Read More

PJ C

Instruments: Piano

I am a composer who plays several instruments, and my primary instrument is piano. From 2010 to 2012, I was a full-time,self-employed piano tutor serving the Paris, TX area, with several loyal clients. What makes me stand out as an educator are two things: 1. My strong personal conviction that anything may be taught to anyone, provided that there is a willingness to learn, and that the educator is able to effectively break down the given subject into its logical components, and 2.

Gregory H

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Drums French Horn

My teaching experience can go as far back as high school. Even though, I was still a student, My piano teacher let me teach the class because for 1). He didn't want to because he was a Choir teacher and it help him to prepared for his choir and 2). I was more advanced than everyone else. I took that opportunity and did the best I can. After High School, I continue to do lesson for piano. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Barbara D

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Music Keyboard

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was a gradual decision. Opportunities began to present themselves and guess who was prepared and ready? However it took me years to actually improve my craft and even then I did not consider myself a professional. I had other vocations that I focused on but continued to study music as well as always had music projects. The opportunities never ceased and I challenged myself to meet every opportunity. Then in 2011, already currently playing for my church, I was offered a job teaching piano in the Arlington, Texas school district and an associated daycare chain. The rest is history.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes. Both of my brothers are musicians. My oldest can play any instrument, at any time, with anyone. My youngest plays trumpet, tuba and french horn and his wife sings. He has been a part of his church orchestra for more than 20 years and the guest musician for many concerts, special programs, weedings and funerals. In addition, I have taught all 6 of my grandchildren to play piano, ages ranging from 4 to 13. They travel, sing and play and perform as a choir and puppetry group as well as play for our Church services. In addition I have many uncles, cousins and aunts who sing and play.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have been a musician since the first day that my Dad put that keyboard in my hands at age 7. I have had many vocations and music played a very big part in all of them. In Nursing I did Music Therapy. In Paramedics I used it to distract patients during difficult and painful Procedures and circumstances. In teaching Medical and Business Courses I used it as memory enhancers and techniques. With Children music has always been a big part of curriculum, music therapy and many techniques as well as graduations, programs, performances etc. Now, my primary profession is music though i continue to tutor in reading, math and typing concurrently as well. If I decide to do anything else here in my later life, and I do not foresee doing so, you bet music will be right there.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I have a variety of methods, drills, exercises, games and activities from all of the above and more. I also have my own original methods that I utilize also. However, when I teach, there is no one method fits all. I tailor my teaching to the needs and dreams of the student. That means that I use a variety and I have a flexible but thorough approach that keeps lessons moving toward the dream but filling in the gaps and being a well-rounded program.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My 2 loves are classical and gospel. When I took lessons I was classically trained and had impeccable sight reading ability. This made me excellent at Playing for others and myself as long as I had the music in front of me. But much of my musical experience has also been in churches, for choirs, soloists and a variety of services and programs. There is a big difference and you truly can be a master at one without any knowledge of the other. In the beginning of my life I did not understand this and I was not a very good gospel or jazz musician until I devoted time and additional study in chords, improvising, transposing and ear training. I also devoted time to studying blues and jazz which are implemented so much in contemporary christian and gospel music.

In her experience, the order in which certain subjects are taught within the Faber method makes it easier. Joy S. from Texas, however, favors both Bastien and Alfred. For her younger students, she recommends Bastien: “It’s better for younger students because it spends more time explaining the fundamentals.” Regarding the ... Read More
