Narissa R

Instruments: Piano Voice

For children beginners, I usually start with either Faber & Faber Piano Adventure or Hal Leonard's Essential Elements.  When the students have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will start introducing solo repertoire to get them ready for their first recital performance.  For adult students, I guide my instruction accordingly after finding out what the student is interested in to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level.

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.

Instruments: Piano Voice

Aside from Faber and Alfred, I also have Bastien method books that I have taught from during my decade of piano teaching experience. Of course, these aren't the only method books I have come to uncover. As for voice, I have a set of vocal warm up scales from major and minor scales and patterns that my own former voice teacher has provided me. I am very familiar with all the warm up techniques as well as breathing and how warming up techniques need to closely connect with the breathing. Read More

Tigranuhi C

Instruments: Piano Violin

I am an active member of Music Teachers Association of California (MTAC). My students take the Certificate of Merit (CM) test annually in performance, theory, sight-reading and ear training. Taking the CM test is optional but highly recommended. I also make sure my students have plenty of chances at performing on stage at recitals by organizing my own recitals or joining forces with other MTAC teachers. Having a recital to practice for is a great motivation for students to practice daily and gives the parents the chance to see their children's accomplishments. Read More

Jamie R

Instruments: Piano

My private teaching began in the summer of 2007. I started with two students and have continued to teach every summer since. Once I graduated from Cal State San Bernardino in June of 2014, I have taught year-round. Most of my students are beginners, and it can be rewarding when I see how much they have improved over the months. With my more advanced students, I make sure that they stay interested in their instrument and ask them what they are interested in playing, as well as provide challenging pieces. Read More

Kimberly N

Instruments: Piano

Whether it was just a few notes or a very skillful melody. I would listen to them with interest myself. When I become a piano teacher, I had the compassion and patience to teach my students. Listening and correcting techniques from the starting position to the correct use of their fingers then gradually becoming proficient. I would like to let my students ask more questions while I provide them with knowledge that will benefit them or choose the songs they want to learn. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Flute Drums Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard

I tailor my instruction to the students wants, needs and abilities. It's a creative environment every week and I try to make it fun and rewarding. We set goals for each week and I review what they want to learn on a regular basis. It has to be fun! When they are having fun they learn more, it's easier and they want to continue. Learning the basic elements of their chosen instrument is a place to begin. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set specific goals: It's important to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve in each practice session. Setting specific goals helps you stay focused and motivated. Establish a routine: Try to practice at the same time each day, so that it becomes a habit. This will help you make consistent progress. Start slow: When learning a new piece or technique, start by practicing slowly and gradually increase your speed as you become more comfortable. Break it down: If a piece or technique seems too difficult, break it down into smaller sections and focus on mastering each section before moving on to the next. Use a metronome: A metronome can help you keep a steady tempo and improve your timing. Record yourself: Recording yourself while practicing can help you identify areas that need improvement and track your progress over time. Take breaks: It's important to take breaks during practice sessions to avoid burnout and give your brain and muscles time to rest. Stay positive: Remember that learning a new skill takes time and effort. Stay positive and celebrate your progress, no matter how small. By following these tips, you can practice effectively and make consistent progress in your musical journey.

When will I start to see results?
Practice habits: How often and how effectively you practice can greatly affect your progress. Practicing for short periods every day is more effective than practicing for longer periods less frequently. Previous musical experience: If you have previous experience playing an instrument or reading music, you may find it easier to learn the piano and progress more quickly. Difficulty of the repertoire: The difficulty of the music you are learning can also affect how quickly you see results. Starting with simple pieces and gradually increasing the difficulty can help you progress more smoothly. With consistent practice, you can expect to see some results within a few months. You may notice improvements in your hand-eye coordination, finger dexterity, and ability to read music. However, becoming proficient at the piano and being able to play more complex pieces can take several years of dedicated practice. It's important to remember that learning to play the piano is a journey and not a destination. Enjoy the process and celebrate your progress along the way. With patience and perseverance, you can achieve your goals and become a skilled pianist.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Age: Generally, children can start taking piano lessons at around age 5 or 6. However, every child is different and some may be ready to start earlier or later. Interest: Does your child express an interest in playing the piano? If they seem curious about the instrument and enjoy listening to music, it may be a good time to start lessons. Attention span: Piano lessons require a certain level of focus and attention. If your child has a short attention span, you may want to wait until they are a bit older and better able to concentrate. Physical ability: Playing the piano requires good hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. If your child has difficulty with activities that require these skills, such as coloring or writing, they may not be ready for piano lessons just yet. Parental support: Learning the piano requires practice at home, so it's important that parents are willing and able to support their child's practice sessions and attend lessons regularly. Ultimately, the decision to start piano lessons should be based on your child's individual needs and interests.

...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

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

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.
