Students will likely begin in a method book of some form, and eventually will use supplementary material as needed. The method books for Younger students typically consists of 3 or more levels depending on their skill, while the method books for older students provide a good outline of the technique for the instrument. The supplements provide materials to develop musicianship and artistry through repertoire. This approach allows the lesson to be tailored to the students' overall purpose for taking the lessons.

Instruments: Piano Drums Music Keyboard

For beginner students of drums and piano, we start with the basics. That includes, grasping a solid understanding of common musical terms, and applying them to properly learn to read and play songs. Once a student has a solid grasp of basic music theory, I will begin to challenge them and push them to new heights with new standards, and more challenging pieces to play. When a student has truly become adept, I love to look toward competitions and festivals that will give students that extra push that helps them build motor skills and self-discipline that will be of use in all areas of life.

Jane K

Instruments: Piano

The key to being successful in playing the piano is Practice. I always encourage my students to practice but also, it is very important for the Parent to take part in their child's learning. I assign homework weekly/bi-weekly depending on how often we meet for lessons. At the start of the next lesson, we will go over the homework and I will either pass them or they are required to re-do it for homework. Read More

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.

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
