Talia G

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

From 2001 to the present, I have prepared lessons to privately teach music and languages. I assisted foreign students with diction, reading and writing In 2007, for the Eutonic School of music I also assisted in recitals, and accompanied students on the piano. I taught them warm ups and songs geared towards their student levels. I love every aspect of music from teaching to promotion. In addition, I promoted advertised for music social networking site called Warfest.com via Reverbnation.com, and interpersonally where I set up free profiles for music artists, explaining sites benefits.

I will give students a professional critique of their performance or skill. Together we devise a performance action plan which outlines the students creative journey and desired outcome. if students would like to perform, they will have an option to perform at their desired place. (school, church, event, video etc.) Students receive a performance assessment which may or may not lead to additional advance training. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums French Horn Oboe

I, Michael G. Turner, breathe through music. My love for music began at a very early age and I was blessed to realize, very soon, that it was my passion.I began performing at the age of 13 on clarinet, in voice, and on drums and percussion. Most of my early performance experience was obtained in church, school, and in my older brothers' Top 40 band. I hold an Associates in Music degree from Los Angeles City College, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Education from California State University Northridge, a California State Teaching Credential, and I am currently the music teacher and director of bands at Chatsworth High School in Chatsworth California.

Josh S

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I can't describe how rewarding teaching can be. As a parent myself I know how amazing it is to see my kids learning and feeling pride in their achievements. I help my students to set goals that are achievable. I believe a little practice each day is one of the most useful tools to give to a learner. The best way I've found to work with young learners is with play-based approaches. Read More

Eric R

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Saxophone Euphonium

I think it is absolutely important to develop a teaching style that is based around positive reinforcement. Praising when you like what the student did. When you can tell there is progress from week to week, telling Jonny that you can tell he practiced is a brilliant way to inspire Jonny to associate hard work with progress. I live by the mantra, 2 praises and a wish, meaning offering 2 words of REAL positivity followed by constructive criticism. Read More

Jebb A

Instruments: Piano Voice Music

My music leadership experience began with competitive show choir in 8th grade - voted Student of the Year - and these experiences inspired me through high school! The show choir program director appointed me tenor section leader in 9th grade and Voice Captain in 10th grade for my ability to lead voice sectional rehearsals and provide pianist accompaniment when needed. I am currently a performing arts coach for the Anaheim Union High School District, supporting vocal music and dance program directors with clinician and choreography services. Read More

When will I start to see results?
Results can be seen within a week of practice. Depending on what instrument we study together, you will be humming along to songs on the radio, tapping your hands and feet to the radio, or playing piano on park benches (assuming you're a beginner). If you're an intermediate student, you can expect to see signs of growth on your instrument within 1 - 2 lessons. If you keep with your practice routine, your chops (muscles) will grow, and you will start to build muscle memory. After a year or so, the muscle memory will be deeply encoded, and you'll likely never forget the songs you've been practicing. If we study for more than a year, the possibilities are endless! Generally I like to reassess goals yearly, and we'll set bigger roadblocks for personal achievement. Realize there is likely nothing you CAN'T do with enough practice and determination.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
A child is ready to start lessons at any age, especially if they show an inclination or attraction to musical instruments, percussive toys, etc. Anybody who comes from a family of musicians can start any time, and probably will naturally grow into a musician based on exposure. If you have NO musicians in your household, music will likely be a new exercise, but one which will be a lifelong investment in your child's brain performance. Musicians have been proven to score better in areas of math and foreign language, because similar areas of the brain are engaged when practicing music. Music is, in essence, a language of rhythm. If you're curious about your child starting music lessons, buy them a small drum, have them sit at the piano or keyboard, or start them on a recorder or other small instrument. If they enjoy it, they're ready for lessons!

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice requires consistency. It's been shown that 5 minutes of practice daily can be more effective than a 1 hour session, 3 days a week. Jerry Garcia used to wake up at 5am every morning to play scales, and the proof is in the pudding with this ability to play any style, any time, and perform fluidly for hours at a time. Practice should be a labor of love, and one that you're motivated to engage in. My assigned practice will be geared towards songs you enjoy, songs we've selected together to work on, and something that pushes the envelope of your stylistic comfort zone.

...be exposed to foreign languages as well as some of the most gorgeous, prominent poetry in existence. Learning classical music requires a certain level of research as the genre covers multiple centuries and follows a steady evolution.   One of the most surprising realizations any singer studying classical voice will experience is how relevant classical music continues to remain in everyday life. It’s nearly impossible to count how frequently classical songs are used in movies, television, commercials, cartoons, shopping locations, classes, weddings, funerals, parties, and so on. Classical music unearths the deepest of human emotions and portrays every human experience. ... Read More

What is the Best Age to Start Guitar Lessons?

...a very young student’s hands are not quite strong enough to play chords, they can still play simple song melodies on the first three strings of the guitar, all while learning to read music. Once they have progressed and built up some hand strength, the teacher may try introducing guitar chords at a later lesson. The guitar is a perfect instrument for young adolescents, whether they are interested in starting a garage band or in pursuing classical guitar. Most teens will probably want to play on an electric guitar with as big of an amplifier as they can get their hands on – but it still might be easier for them to start on an acoustic guitar. ...

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.
