Lori B

Instruments: Piano

I teach according to each student's pace of learning, tailoring lessons to their age.  Music theory games and other fun elements are incorporated into the lessons for the younger students.  Once the fundamentals are learned, teen students are encouraged to make some of their own music selections with my guidance and approval.

Diane W

Instruments: Piano Flute

Out of college and newly married, I began teaching both piano and flute. When babies came along, I focused on them instead. But after they were grown, I went back into music headlong! I became involved in a lot of performing as well as a lot of teaching. I would estimate that my total teaching experience, with both flute and piano, is at least twenty years. I love sharing music with others, and I enjoy watching students develop and mature. Read More

Ruben M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Keyboard Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

As I mentioned before, my teaching style can best be described as easygoing, but precise and adapted to each students needs. I focus on the person trying to learn as much as on the learning itself. Yet, Im not demanding or harsh in my delivery or expectations. Rather than a standard, vanilla approach, I try learn my students personality, learning style, and sense of humor pretty quickly and work to adapt the facts and knowledge of music to each student as an individual human, not an appointment.

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Double Bass Keyboard

For my beginning piano students, I like to start with Alfreds performance books and music theory to help assist the note and music reading. My cello students that are still in the beginning stages I like to have using the Suzuki books to help work towards more advanced music and skills. My voice students are all very different so I shape our lesson methods based on what style of singing theyre interested in, but we always begin working on proper breathing and learning solfege.

Elijah G

Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard

For basic students from 6 to 14 even intermediates they will start by reading or learning how to read sheet music classical and traditional music but I also throw in a jazz piece for students to learn how to make they're playing more jazzy and colorful. But before all that music reading the most important thing is to learn your major and minor scales because in all keys because if you don't know your major and minor you won't be able to play your favorite songs without reading.

Teacher In Spotlight

Alexander P

Instruments: Guitar Music Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to play Rodrigoś Concierto de Aranjuez. It is a three movement piece and resonates the passion and beauty of Spanish music. It is difficult to play but beautiful.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I first start off with a easy, slow piece. This helps as a warm up but also as an enjoyable start. I then proceed to right hand techniques followed by scales and arpeggios. I will play/learn 2-3 studies and the same for pieces. I choose 2-3 because it keeps each practice interesting and eliminates redundancy.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I love the guitar. My guitar professor from the Mozarteum called the guitar an ënsemble instrument." The classical guitar in particular demands a versatile approach that goes above and beyond strumming chords. I still remain in awe of what the guitar is able to produce for the willing student!!!!

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I was invited by the Estado Amazonas Govenor of Venezuela to perform for him and other dignitaries. The concert was televised and played on the radio. This was a great honor for me to showcase my talents!

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I like using Hal Leonard and the Christopher Parkening technique. Hal Leonard teaches a variety of styles while the Parkening technique offers great classical techniques with a fantastic practice approach and pedagogy.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The most challenging aspect of the guitar is for the student to bring out his/her passion through the guitar. This must be done utilizing all of the techniques of the guitar. The guitar will sound your passion if you let it. That is the real challenge for any instrument.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Absolutely! My first teacher taught me folk and doo wop from the 50s. He was very patient and exuded a love for the guitar and music in general. His teaching style was spot on and his passion was very contagious!

When will I start to see results?
This is up to the student. With daily, focused practice, students can achieve advancement quickly. Also, review of content and pieces is vital.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This depends on how interested the child is. Does the child listen to a particular instrument and inquire about the styles of music played on that instrument? Is the child agreeing to work at practicing daily or when able to?

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Quality over quanity. One can put 5 hours of practice into 3. Being focused and realistic with time is key. Look at time management. How many hours can I realistically practice? Practicing everyday is very important even if that means 15 minutes a day!

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.
