Sean T

Instruments: Piano

I love teaching because it teaches me more than I can ever learn from a piece of music. Seeing my student grow as a musician and as his/her own individual character/personality. I've taught students as young as 3 to college graduates who simply want to get some pieces under their fingers. I've also taught masterclasses to my mom's students and to students at UCLA, and I find that all of us connect in some way musically as we all love and cherish the same composers whose music we still play today.

Grant R

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

With students that are full beginners, I like to start them out with some reading to show them how time is divided and how to identify notes on the staff. I've found that finding notes on the staff helps them learn the notes on the fretboard faster and easier. I use a book called Guitar Method Book 1 by Hal Leonard. For students who are more advanced, I will focus on their time feel, sound, and music theory. Read More

Naomi W

Instruments: Piano Clarinet

I began teaching as early as 2003, while in high school on clarinet. I continued to teach during college as a voice coach, and have been teaching piano, music theory and music composition to this date. I have worked with both children and adults, in classrooms and one on one. One of the things that distinguishes me from other teachers is how I tailor my program for each student, because everyone learns differently and has different strengths and talents. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Amy P

Instruments: Violin Viola Recorder Fiddle

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session would be one which you are ready to concentrate and able to focus. Ideally, you would work on one concept at a time and not try to do too much at once. For example, if you are working on straight bow, I would focus on that concept and just concentrate on making sure the bow consistently stays straight and does not go off course.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use Essential Elements books for very beginning students since this book is very good at helping students learn how to read notes, and it has easy exercises which gradually become more difficult as you progress to later pages in the book. I believe that the Essential Elements books helps students learn at their own pace and does not rush to teach them concepts in which they are not yet ready to learn. After they finish the Essential Elements book, I highly encourage them to play exercises in Suzuki since they have the foundation to read the notes of the Suzuki exercises. The Suzuki book does not teach students how to read notes since it is more of a book for ear training. If students are at an intermediate or advanced level, I allow them to bring in music which they need the most help and/or are preparing for a specific purpose (audition, competition, etc.)

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Three of my students auditioned for region orchestra and were selected to be part of it. Additionally, another student which I taught at a public high school made a second division in the state competition and got a silver medal for this placement. Also, one of my private students placed highly in the orchestra which he had hoped he would make as part of the Youth Orchestras of San Antonio summer orchestra camp.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think that the hardest thing to master on an instrument is the technical work (position, straight bow, blowing right amount of air on recorder, left hand position, etc.). I believe this is the hardest since many people are not able to learn it correctly on their own nor in a group class. Many students who develop bad habits in this area really struggle playing music they are assigned since they play in such a way that makes it harder for them to reach the notes and create a good sound.

Saxophone Brands: Finding Your Perfect Horn

...end up paying significantly more in money and time for frequent repairs. Believe me; I played a cheap Taiwanese horn for a job every day for six months. These horns are just not the same quality. They don’t sound as good and the metal is often extremely pliable. For a little bit more money, you could get a used Yamaha student model, which is a great quality student horn.   An added note to consider concerning soprano saxes is that vintage sopranos don’t have as spot-on intonation as modern horns. Some are fine, but you should always play test them. Personally, my tenor and alto were... Read More

Types of Basses

...string tuned higher than the G string, a high B. Some players find the extra strings useful. You can find different chord shapes, have a greater frequency range than a traditional bass, and conserve some hand movement with notes being more accessible on more parts of the neck. However, some bassists prefer the traditional 4 strings claiming that you can find any sound you need with 4 strings and these extra notes on a 5 or 6 string bass do not belong in the bass range. Another consideration for a bass guitar is whether or not you want frets. A fretted bass guitar is more common, however you ... Read More

...“automatic” and “non-mental” repetition, then go on to describe more conceptual memorization strategies (IE those involving an understanding of musical theory, harmony, and form) as a kind of backup plan or tool for long term development of general memorization skills (Chaffin, et. al. Practicing Perfection: Memory and Piano Performance, pub. Lawrence Erlbaum, 2002. p. 36). In my experience, the loss of continuity due to skipping practice is the most common reason adults quit their piano lessons. It is often due to an inability to set aside the time, or sometimes to being too impatient about taking the time to master a concept before advancing to another, that adults quit ... Read More

...recording platforms. This can be as simple as a cheap all-in-one recording device or an intricate reel-to-reel tape recording system. An all-in-one device is even easier than the DAW option, and it will typically include all necessary instructions for setup. However, they often do not provide the best results. More complicated options, such as a reel-to-reel, require years of training and practice in order to achieve the high-quality results that they are capable of.   Take Advantage of Sound Checks   Because you only have one chance when you are recording live music, it’s especially important that everything is set up correctly. ...

The Best Age to Start Singing Lessons

... When parents are considering music lessons for their child, many times they will gravitate to voice lessons because their child loves to sing. But what is the best age to start singing lessons? Many parents ask for voice lessons for students as young as 3 or 4 years old, but formal vocal training is not usually successful or appropriate for students this young. It is best to begin voice lessons once the student’s voice is more grounded and they have begun to go through puberty. Similar to how a fine wine gets better with age, the vocal quality and tone of a person’s voice continues to change through different phases of their life. Once a student has started the process of going through puberty, they will ... 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.
