Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Clarinet
Hi Everyone! My name is Benjamin! I'm a high-energy guy that loves to teach music. My students come from all walks of life and from various ages. In 2012, I graduated from Evangel University with a Bachelor of Arts in Music, focusing on composition. Getting to see people advance in music has been one of my true joys as a teacher. It has also been my joy to perform with some great musicians all over Missouri. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I desire for the student to learn as much about themselves as they do their instrument. I believe that piano and voice are conduits for expression of emotion and thought and are extremely beneficial in helping students find confidence and awareness. My main motto is that EVERYONE can make music and so I encourage all types of people to learn at my studio. Music and performance as a profession will only last if the student has passion for it so I try to encourage each student to discover why they want to pursue music throughout lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Oboe English Horn
For piano students, I like to use the Alfred method books with supplemented music that peeks their interest. I like these books because they have several series depending on the age of the student and their interests such as music theory and broadway hits.-For woodwind students, I like to work for a few weeks out of their band books so I can assess their strengths and weaknesses. From there I will assign the appropriate method book; typically from the Rubank series. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Hi, my name is Marianne! I graduated from Garden City Community College in 2011 with an Associate of Arts degree in Piano. From there I transferred to Southwestern Adventist University where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Social Sciences and minored in Vocal Music. I love to share my passion for music with others, and I hope to convey that to my students as well. My goal is to ignite that passion in my students so that not only they will want to share with others, but that they will find joy in it. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I’m a recent college graduate with a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance and Pedagogy. I started taking piano lessons when I was eight years old, and continued lessons through high school and for a few semesters in college. I started singing in choir when I was 10 years old, and have been in one or more choirs ever since! I started taking private voice lessons in high school and decided to choose voice as my college major. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
My teaching experience goes back to when I was a sophomore in high school and I started to teach piano lessons after school to kids that ranged from the age of 5-13. In these lessons we would cover fundamentals, warm-ups, theory, classic literature, etudes, and any fun songs that they wanted! I always encouraged my students to practice and if they wanted to learn a video game song or pop chart we would focus on that. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For beginning students like young students, I typically start with Piano Adventure as the textbook. Once they have progressed of study, I would like to introduce some solo repertoires with beautiful melody line for their recital performance. And in each lesson, I will play the accompany part for young students, which can bring them more fun of learning short pieces, and enjoy studying. For adults, I would like to talk with them, and find out a good way that they are interested in of studying, and give them more space of choosing repertoires for learning. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am proud of is my ability to make people turn their heads and focus on me when I start surfing on the neck. Time, trials and experience allowed me to build a musical intuitive fluidity where I handle the instrument beyond mere notes. The guitar is here to tell a story, to smile, scream and cry. This moves people in various ways which I am most grateful for.
I am glad that I never ever gave up on the guitar, on practicing and taking it to the next level. And this, despite difficult times at various stages in my life. The Doors' "Music is your only friend" anthem resonates with those who it profoundly affects inside their heart.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the guitar as my primary instrument because it is the most versatile instrument by a large measure:
- The greatest reason by a large measure is that the guitar allows for all musical scopes: chords, arpeggios, solos. This allows the musician to become a 1-man band as needed in a variety of contexts: karaoke, live performances, jams, etc.
- In addition, the guitar has an incredible array of sound-altering techniques: bends, slides, hammer/pull-offs, tapping, sweeps, harmonics. All this arsenal contributes to making the instrumental the musician's natural hand extension and a redoutable musical weapon when the right skill mastery is reached.
The guitar also has several pros to be taken into consideration:
- Easily affordable
- Convivial transportation
- Low and simple maintenance (cleaning and changing strings)
- Very large string family (bass, lute, mandolin, ukulele, etc)
- Wide worldwide acceptance: guitar can be used to play literally every single genre in the world and still feel genuine
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was a student of world-wide renowned Moroccan-Canadian guitar professor Saïd Laghzaoui. While my standing with him was mostly focused on classical music, he did instill the desire of learning the instrument by understanding it in and out, by taking every musical measure as an entire fragment to be practiced until perfection. Most importantly, he stressed the importance of being self-reliant. This was the main source of inspiration to build my ear training, which then allowed me to learn all the songs on the fly now with little assistance.
Here are some excerpts of him:
