John H

Instruments: Piano Organ

I have taught private students, music classes, small groups, and large classes. I teach people for their own enjoyment, or I can teach competitive students as well. I enjoy making house calss or teaching in my own studio. I have found that making a good plan and goals are very helpful to learning, and also making it clear what can be expected and how to practice. I try to make sure that we always find music that is enjoyable. Read More

Jason R

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet

While all of my students study the same fundamental musical principles, I believe that every lesson should be as unique as every person. That's why I always create new, customized lesson plans and provide individualized materials for all of my students. In my experience, this approach is most effective at increasing the student's musical ability—and it's a lot more fun! Rather than just going cover to cover through a method book, we'll keep things interesting and fresh by playing music games (especially with younger students), composing our own music, listening to new artists, and working on pieces that are requested by the student.

I will also inspire and encourage student to learn and get better by demonstrating. I am the cheer leader for my students and we learn together. I am patient and supportive. Sometimes, I get very surprised how my students improved so fast. Read More

Gary B

Instruments: Piano

Times have changed since I began on the piano over fifty years ago. I believe the learning process should be engaging and fun and not the rote practice assignments I had to endure. I believe students should gain a limited orientation to the world of music to identify current artists, genres, and the structures of musical styles popular today. This is accomplished by introducing a play list for listening and learning. Read More

Annie H

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin

I began teaching private lessons in college as a side job, but due to touring with orchestras I was unable to truly develop my own studio. I also volunteer taught students from low-income families through the Azusa Pacific Conservatory for two years. In the summers of 2010 and 2011, I took over a former teacher's studio of 20+ students while he toured in Europe. I have been working in National Parks for the past 3 years and have always brought my instruments with me. 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.

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.
