Dorothea H

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Harmonica Ukulele Mandolin Acoustic Guitar

I look to find what inspires the student naturally, while striving to open the student's mind to new styles through understanding new patterns. I set tangible goals that help the student measure their success; I make sure the goals are both realistic for their pace and also pushing them to their fullest extent. I also provide reinforcement of successes and accomplishments because I know this is valuable for a student to flourish and move forward confidently. Read More

Hello! I am a highly energetic and passionate music educator from the central Florida area.

Much of my experience comes from the classroom: I completed my student teaching at the Florida State University Schools, and I taught five classes full time. Read More

Nil P

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Organ Harmonica Ukulele Mandolin

For students who are young children, I typically start by addressing the importance of playing what you hear. So, I will teach them beginner classics, such as Twinkle Twinkle and Merry had a Littl eLamb, but I also teach them what thunder sounds like, or a siren, and etc. by drawing on everyday life obejects that create noise. I then move on to learn my student's interests to device a method of positive reinforcement if they complete their homework asssignments or answer questions correctly, usually in the past this has been candy.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Everyone loves to say, "Practice!" Few people seem to want to translate this idea into something manageable, practical, encouraging, realistic, psychologically fitting, etc. Furthermore, many (young) people who are interested in music are also NOT naturally inclined towards discipline or "high-energy" goal-setting; therefore, they could use even MORE help than normal to actually DEFINE what it means to "practice." (Hint: It doesn't mean just looking at your music and trying to "get through" a song or piece -- although that's better than nothing!) Here's something I recommend to almost all of my students. Try 15 minute chunks each day. See if you can ACTUALLY get through a week doing this EVERY DAY (with perhaps one day off), instead of just telling yourself you "practiced this week." Getting motivated to do these 15 minutes is pretty easy when you know WHAT TO DO with the 15 minutes. Here goes: 1 Take stock of whatever you're working on. How many pieces or exercises are there? If one, that's no problem. 2 Rank these "pieces" by difficulty (and be honest, and don't overthink). "What do I not feel like playing?" Start with that one. If have only one piece, continue to Step 3. 3 Continue the same process WITHIN each piece. "Which part of this do I not feel like playing?" Do it!!! Your "dessert" will be playing the parts you DO like better for now. 4 The first 10 minutes of your practice time should be spent on Steps 1-3, repeating as much as makes sense. There is almost NO LIMIT to how "small" you can get while focusing on "difficult passages." 5 Try to insure you have time (within the 10 minutes) to reincorporate these "trouble spots" into the surrounding material. Hopefully, play/sing through the whole piece/song (assuming it's short enough), so you can enjoy the satisfaction of seeing what your very recent work afforded you. 6 (IMPORTANT AND UNDER-RATED) Spend 5 full minutes playing your instrument with "no rules," except the rule that you "can't" play your "actual pieces." Get to know your instrument on more personal terms: "What happens if I do this? What does this sound like? How does this feel physically? How do I play that thing I heard from a friend the other day?" If everything you do on your instrument was "following directions," you are missing out on creativity, on freedom, on mastery, on expertise, on enjoyment, on MUSIC. If you don't SET ASIDE TIME to have fun on your instrument, you may never do so, and you may "rebel" and use other time that should be used on your pieces to have fun instead. Besides, knowing that it's "play time" at the end makes "working" on your pieces less of a threat to the lazy part of your brain. Notice, please, that I recommend 1/3 of your DAILY music time to be spent in a "free" way. This wasn't an accident. Notice also, that I didn't recommend 1-2 hours' worth of daily practice time. Also not an accident. . . . If you've ever seriously taken up a fitness routine, you may have encountered the advice that you should "leave yourself wanting more" as opposed to constantly draining yourself and inviting burnout. I believe it's the same with music. I also believe that anyone who ASPIRES to an hour or more of practice time should have no trouble committing to 15 minutes . . . and that our beliefs about how we're spending our time are often far removed from reality . . . ! Therefore, make yourself "faithful in small things" before moving on to bigger things.

Introduction to Hand Drums: Frame Drums

...The world of hand drums is a vast one indeed, with distinct types emerging in all parts of the world as some of nearly every culture’s earliest instruments. But what is meant by the term ‘hand drums’, you might ask. Quite simply, ‘hand drum’ refers to any drum that is primarily played with the hands or fingers, as opposed to some kind of stick, mallet, or other beater. Furthermore, we’re going to use a strict definition of drum here- i.e., a shell of some kind with at least one membrane striking surface- to avoid any confusion with instruments that are not proper drums, and yet are sometimes...

Rhythm guitar players should take every opportunity they can to hone the skill of strumming and switching chords to a strict beat.   An Incredible Instrument   Learning how to play the guitar can be an amazing experience no matter what sort of style you pursue. It’s a good idea not to spend too much time thinking about the pros and cons of rhythm guitar vs lead guitar playing because the guitar is an instrument packed to the brim with musical possibilities, and it shouldn’t be narrowed down into two oversimplified categories. The best guitarists have an excellent grasp of rhythm and ... Read More

How To Find The Motivation To Practice

...everyone, and that’s ok. Becoming a real musician is hard, intense work that lasts for years. If you’ve never been able to get excited about playing music, then musicianship probably isn’t an area of your life you should keep investing time and effort in. But there’s a world of difference between someone interested in music who feels discouraged or bored sometimes from a person who can’t seem to get interested in music at all. If you’re the former, I encourage you to embrace curiosity and take risks with your practice. There’s no one way to go about finding the motivation to practice your instrument, ... Read More

Notable Sopranos: Renee Fleming Julie Andrews Mariah Carey Celine Dion Bjork Mezzo (or Alto): also known as “middle voice”, this is the most common voice type for females. Typical range is from A3 (below middle C) to High A (A5). The timbre of this voice often possesses a “warmer, more solid and comforting quality” and is extremely well suited for the genres of Jazz and Gospel music, which require a more mature and nuanced sound for expression.

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.
