Michael P

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My name is Michael P., I am from Victorville, California. I am 23 years old and my biggest passion is music! I went to Berklee College of Music and graduated with a bachelors in Bass Performance in 2021. I have recorded an album during the pandemic all from my bedroom with fellow classmates. Our band name is Champagne Charlie and the Wah Wah's, we are influenced by The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, and The Beach Boys. Read More

Marie H

Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard

I am passionate and hard-working. A great deal of my free time is spent recording and producing music. I enjoy watching my students grow as much as I enjoy finding new ways of growing and learning myself. I am often most inspired by the raw and vulnerable, simple and yet hear-wrenching melodies I come across. Moments as a listener, when a melodic theme takes over and everything else seems to dim out, almost as background noise, are my absolute farovite. Read More

Yeunje K

Instruments: Piano

Hello, and nice to meet you! I am a skilled musician and teacher, bringing years of experience in performance and teaching to the table. My passion for teaching was grounded when I learned from the very best around the world. I learned through my own teachers that teaching can elevate an individual to higher heights and bring joy to those who learn from you. I graduated with a degree in piano performance from California State University in 2018 on the Dean's List and top of my class in pedagogical classes on teaching piano. Read More

Steve B

Instruments: Piano Voice Cello

I have had 2 private students for the past year both for voice: -Zoe 15 -Lucas 13 I officially started teaching while I was with The After School All-Stars teaching their school of rock band. I was with them for 3 years and in that time I was able to not only have the students perform as a band but I also taught the students how to be "techies". Not all of them wanted to play instruments but they still wanted to be a part of the group so I said Why Not?" I later on returned to my old high school and have been teaching there as a musical theater teacher. Read More

Maximino T

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Fiddle French Horn Piccolo Oboe

For stringed instruments, I uses the Suzuki method for teaching the basic repertory of the instruments. This method is an ear training method in which the student plays by ear. It starts out very simple so students of all ages can learn and progress very quickly. For learning to read music I use one of the method books like "A Tune a day" or Strictly Strings which teach the fundamentals of read music and music theory. Read More

Tori S

Instruments: Piano Voice

I believe that it is very important for any singer to have a music theory background, so I make sure to include in any of my vocal lessons basic keyboard knowledge. Further, I have found that it is important to incorporate all types of music in lessons. Learning all sorts of style in music is crucial to continue growing as a performer. Finally, it is important for a student to enjoy their lessons and find passion in their own music. Read More

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.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
To repeat a certain process: for a certain amount of time, continue this formula - 1. Play through the melody/note/progression many times, & build your concentration of effective execution. 2. Then, take a break for however much time to let you hands/lips & mind relax 3. Then, come back to it, and you will be surprised how much that break helped the ability to sink in.

When will I start to see results?
You will start to see positive results within the first few weeks of starting private lessons. Depending on where the student is in terms of how much they do or don't know about music, the results will of course vary. If the student is starting from scratch, the first results will be how to hold the instrument properly, how to generate a sustainable pitch, as well as becoming aware of the direction they will need to advance to become proficient in that instrument. If the student is already passed the beginning stages, the results will be more about first breaking common bad habits, and then moving onto learning more advanced skills and how the skills relate to the notation/theoretical side of understanding music.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My biggest influences on developing a life long pursuit in music are mostly from family members. My mom's dad was a trumpet player as well as a middle school music teacher for many years. With my dad's father, even though his main career was in the medical field, he was also a very talented clarinet player. As the lineage continued to my mom and dad, my mom actually discovered that she liked the clarinet more than the trumpet, and my dad discovered that he really loved the saxophone. What's cool about how they met was my dad moved to Orange County for work and met my mom in the Orange County Community Concert band. In the later months of my mother's pregnancy, she would rest her clarinet on her pregnant belly during rehearsal while she played, and a lot of the other members would tell her, "Boy, I bet that baby is going to be a very musical person when they grow up." The direct vibration of the notes from the clarinet must have touched my heart inside the womb, because I did indeed grow to be someone extremely dedicated and passionate about music.

How To Start a Band

...Without a doubt, putting a band together, writing music and performing live on stage is one of the absolute best experiences a musician can have.

...salt; they set the price at a certain threshold so that individual retailers can maneuver below.

The Bass Trumpet- A Brief Overview

...Stölzel. Orchestral bass trumpets are offered by Alexander, Thein, Latzsch, Helmut, and Voigt. Meinl-Weston also builds horns in this category. They are keyed in C, and you will likely find a professional orchestral player using one of these during a performance of Rite of Spring or Wagner’s Ring Cycle. Thein manufacturers arguably the most accurate version of the bass trumpet.   You won’t find many people looking to purchase a bass trumpet, and you certainly won’t encounter a band director offering one to students at “choose your instrument” day. We live in a time where historically-informed performances matter, though—just ask ... Read More

His rough beginnings as a young composer and musician came to fruition in 1766, when he began directing musical activities in the Esterhazy court.   Haydn continued his duties for the Esterhazy estate until around 1790—a remarkable tenure working for the same noble. He didn’t take a break from the Esterhazy family until around 1790, when he left for London (his departure was due to the fact that the newest Esterhazy heir didn’t much care for music). He eventually returned to the Esterhazy estate and after a second trip to London, ... 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.
