Octavio M

Instruments: Piano Cello Keyboard

For beginner students I like to start them with basic principles such as how to properly hold the bow and how to properly sit with the cello. I like to use methods such as Suzuki to work on musicality, and Essential elements to work on basics. For intermediate I like to work with the Popper etudes and the Bach Cello Suites, I also add some of the more advanced Suzuki books. Read More

Adam B

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Music Keyboard

My teaching method is centered around consitent practice and the idea that a student's practice time should be both fun and efficient. I work closely with my students to learn their musical interests and then establish their musical goals. With those goals in mind, we create a daily practice routine that is both fun, efficient, and designed specifically for that student, with their strengths and weaknesses taken into account. The materials used in these practice routines are pulled from my own personal library of music books, all of which I have worked through and mastered. Read More

Aaron M

Instruments: Piano Trumpet

Acknowledging accomplishments is an ideal way to motivate a student to improve. While critiquing a student's weaknesses is something a teacher should do, celebrating the positive moments in playing can help engrave good habits. Whether you are trying to learn for fun or trying to get into the college of dreams for music, I am able to cater my teaching style to the needs of the student and this makes music fun for everyone!

Shuyi H

Instruments: Piano

For beginning students, I choose Alfred's Basic Piano Library and Faber Piano Adventures, and other brands/materials that fits the need of the student. I often made teaching materials myself, as well as writing music for my students. The most important thing for beginners are keeping interest and correct postures. Starting from songs the student recognize usually helps. For advance students, I usually recommend repertoire covering all 4 classical periods, plus etudes and finger trainings. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I think of two things as being central to my teaching style: Fun, and Growth. I think too many music lessons dry out the material, and suck the fun out of something that should be inherently joyful! I try to make every music lesson interesting, and keep my students engaged by giving them material that gets them hyped. Second, I think music is a great chance for people to experience the joy in Growth. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Michelle M

Instruments: Flute

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always, and I mean always, begin with long tones. Nothing is more important than working on your embouchure muscles. You can be the best flute player in the world, but if you have bad tone, you will always be considered less than mediocre. The great part about long tones and tonal exercises is that there's so many out there to try out and do! You never have to stick to just one exercise! When you have found at least one tonal exercise you feel comfortable with, you can add on more difficult tonal warm ups to your practice routine.

When will I start to see results?
The tricky thing with results is that everybody sees results differently. For me, a student being able to learn how to play a G in tune is results. You're learning and training your ear to recognize the correct pitch and balance on your instrument. Some people would say playing a G in tune isn't progress or any type of result at all. I say, if you are walking away with new knowledge on your instrument, you're already gaining results. The best part of all of this, you never stop improving therefor you can always keep reaching for better results.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I've had the opportunity to work with many teachers and professors that were, and are, involved with music. The one that inspired me most was my high school band director. He told me to not let anybody or anything stop me from wanting to teach music. I had a lot of people in my life try and convince me to not study music, but I never let those voices stop me thanks to my teachers words. More than anyone, I believe my biggest inspiration is myself. I've worked hard to obtain scholarships to study my passion and seek help when I needed it. No one could have given me the success I have if it wasn't for me. You can be your biggest inspiration, or your biggest enemy.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
My biggest rule in life is, "Am I enjoying this?" If the answer is no, then it's time to sit down and consider whether or not this is a good idea. When it comes to music, I believe anybody is ready to begin lessons as long as they are the one insisting on wanting to do it. If you are a parent forcing your child to do lessons, everybody in the process will suffer. You, the student, and the teacher. If the student is nervous and shy to begin, I promise you, lessons become more than just lessons, they become a form of therapy and a source to escape the real world for a while. As long as the student is wanting lessons, then you're definitely ready!

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.
