Emily B

Instruments: Piano

As a navy wife and mother of two children, I have spent many years moving to places across the country and across two oceans. I found substitute teaching to be enormously fulfilling during this time of constant change; I discovered how much I enjoy working with children and helping them discover the joy of learning! Since finally settling down in San Diego, I have been focusing on sharing my love for music by teaching piano, after years of nurturing my own daughter's talent for violin and singing. Read More

Ishmael M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Organ Latin Percussion

My style of singing is called "Bel Canto", italian for beautiful singing. Smooth, flowing melodies, flatter the voice to help it become even, flexible and expressive. My student's voices will not wear out, but rather, they grow stronger and more responsive to their owners emotions. Students will learn about all the areas of the body in which the voice can travel, articulation and enunciation, and a huge array of vocal exercise. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

The child learns value of the notes and sight reading even at a very young age they are able to learn. 6-adult I use a variety of books Faber, because it is very creative and the songs are very fun. Bastien when the child desires to learn key signatures, chords, I teach them in hand positions to help them feel comfortable in learning piano high Schoolers and adults I use Bastien and Alfred.

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.

I am a passionate and energetic musician and teacher. Music is one of my favorite things in the world. It brings me great joy to pass my knowledge on to others.

Steven B

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

My teaching experience dates back 35 years. Soon after I started taking piano lessons, I began teaching piano. I went into students homes and taught the classics. Since those early years of teaching piano, I have expanded and gradually started teaching guitar to a few students, and then later on I started teaching voice to a few students. In the last 15 years, I have been teaching full time on the three instruments piano, guitar, and voice. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Victoria B

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet

When will I start to see results?
Depending on the student, you can see results anywhere from weeks to months to years. Everyone learns at their own pace and learns in different ways. Some students can see major results in a matter of months (these are kids who are logical thinkers). Some others need more time who are creative minds.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, my former piano teacher of 10 years inspired me so much. She was so professional, loving, and strict at the same time. She really taught me how to be a disciplined and committed musician. She was so amazing with all her students in her studio.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I fell in love with piano from a young age, I saw others play piano in school and at other events, and I always thought "I want to do that." I became passionate about piano and composing my own music from a young age.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I most proud of my studies at Berklee College of Music, being mentored in masterclasses at Steinway, performing at Carnegie Hall, and playing gigs in Boston. I'm also proud of creating my own music and being able to share it with the world via YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
During the pandemic of 2020, I started to teach virtually. One of my students from Argentina I taught for a year, and she was a natural pianist. She love the instrument and it was so exciting to see her progress throughout the year. She is now working towards getting awards, special honors, and potentially competitions.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing would have to be accuracy as far as speed of notes as well as advance rhythmic concepts. For example, works by famous composer such as Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, are very difficult, and anything in advanced grades, takes a lot of brain power and dedication to the instrument.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
This all depends on the age of the student. Students 5 to 9 who are in the beginner level should at least practice 15-30 min a day if they want to really improve and move quickly through the grades. Students who are intermediate should practice anywhere from 45 min to 2 hours a day. Advanced students who are really committed to their artistry need 2- 4 hours a day and sometimes more with breaks in between.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will simply know when the child is eager to learn and they are excited about it, especially when they play around on the piano and really want to be taught. Age 5-6 is a good age to start beginner and the Faber Primer level.
