Ani C

Instruments: Piano

I encourage a growth mindset by showing students that mistakes are an essential part of learning. Effort and progress are celebrated with genuine enthusiasm, reinforcing the idea that success is a journey, not just a destination. To make learning engaging, I incorporate humor, clever jokes, and metaphors that bring musical concepts to life. By using vivid associations and connecting music to stories and real-world experiences, I help students grasp the deeper meaning behind the notes. Read More

Fang H

Instruments: Piano

The best reward is for my students to have fun learning. I always try my best and adapt to my student's learning ability. Every student I have taught was different at grasping the fundamentals. Therefore, it is important for the students to progress at their own pace. I encourage and motivate them with showcasing my ability. Setting goals that are realistic to reach within their abilities. Complimenting the student's success in scales, sight-reading, solo song, and practice. Read More

Rich A

Instruments: Piano Drums

Currently, I'm helping a local church playing piano and drums (when they're short a drummer), and I'm the lead singer for a band called Just A Theory. Having been a part of this band has been really cool because we've used this group as a platform to help the homeless, by having our fans bring food and clothing to our shows. It's been very nice to see people willing to do what they can to help those who are in need. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Electric Violin Double Bass Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Progress is not always easy when learning to play a new instrument. Everyone learns at there own pace, and with each lessons I will set attainable goals for the student. it is best when students have varying difficulties of material within their material in order to provide opportunity for satisfaction despite whatever struggles they may have. I encourage daily practice, even if only for small amounts of time. Effective practice requires some level of independence, and I focus a lot our time on the art of practicing, and how to focus your attention in order to get the best out of your practice time.

Kandra S

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ

I have been teaching private piano and voice lessons to young and adult students for over 18 years. I teach music because I believe all human beings connect to it and feel something overtime they hear music. This motivates me to continue teaching as much as possible. I believe in teaching a diverse number of techniques and genres from Pop to Jazz to classical to my music students to gain a wide variety of techniques and general love for the many styles of music.

Teacher In Spotlight

Rene R

Instruments: Cello

When will I start to see results?
Good work produces a good wage. If you practice your lesson material regularly, and are disciplined to practicing at least 30 minutes per day, you will see gradual progress. If you commit to practicing 45-60 minutes per day, and follow your teacher's lesson plans, progress will come more quickly.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
A roommate in college got me interested in classical guitar, and so I took a few lessons and play a little classical guitar from time to time.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My parents enjoy music, but never learned to play an instrument. My brother, however, is a talented violinist and violist.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Well, I'm a musician, but I still have to work as a nurse to make an adequate living in Honolulu. Many talented musicians do other jobs to meet their needs and therefore not have the pressure of having to make all your funds as a musician.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite type of music to play is baroque music of the late 17th and 18 centuries. I especially love the Italian baroque music, the music of Vivadi, Corelli, Monteverdi, Geminiani. And I love French baroque music, the music of Francois and Louis Couperin, Marais, and Rameau. My favorite, however, is Bach, whose music is the zenith of the baroque era.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Devote your practice time to improving what you feel needs to improve. With difficult passages, be patient and start by practicing these parts very slowly, then gradually increase speed or tempo as you gain control of the passage.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child is genuinely interested in playing an instrument, he or she will be sincere about it. However, choosing to play an instrument involves assuming responsibility, and you will then have to talk with your child about their willingness to be disciplined and practice regularly. If they are not able or committed to practice 30 minutes per day, then the decision to start lessons should be postponed.

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 a bachelors of music degree in cello performance. I fell into this course of study naturally, having been awarded a full scholarship to the San Francisco Conservatory of Music's preparatory division for grade school students at age 11.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I love the Bach cello suites, which are difficult to play as they require considerable skill and technical prowess to really sound special. Without solid technical mastery, it is difficult to play these masterworks well.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Before the practice session even starts, I have an action plan or a menu of what to cover. In other words, the practice session content is pre-determined and planned. This way the practice session is succinct and organized. The brain learns more easily when the practice activity is structured, instead of being random or haphazard.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I learned through the Suzuki method, a very basic method which focuses on learning simple, fundamental concepts and techniques, and then building upon those fundamentals in a step-by-step progressive fashion. However, other teaching methods, such as Hal Leonard's string lesson books, are also effective, and similar to the Suzuki method.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Keeping the bow hand and the fingering hand supple, smooth and controlled during recital performances. When I lacked experience, sometimes my bow would have a slight nervous trembling during recital performances. I later learned that this was barely noticeable to the audience, but to myself it felt like an earthquake was happening. Experience with playing in front of other people eventually cures this, because the experience becomes more familiar and less stressful.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
As a child cello player, I am proud of the fact that after one year of instruction, I was able to write my own short solo cello composition and perform it at a recital event. It gave me a sense of accomplishment at a very young age. I believe I was 8 or 9 when this happened.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Because of my military career, I moved frequently, and I have not had time to really develop and nurture a student the way I would have liked to. I look forward to this opportunity now and in the days ahead.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the cello because of my brother's love of the cello and his introducing me to the instrument and giving me my first cello instruction.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My older brother is a violinist and introduced me to classical music at a very young age. One day he brought home a small cello from his school and gave me my first lesson. I fell in love with the instrument immediately, and so I am very grateful to my brother for his mentorship and getting me started on the cello.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I always wanted to be a professional musician, since middle school and high school.

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.
