Valeri W

Instruments: Piano

I began teaching when I started studying with Berklee. Admittedly, I wasn't entirely sure how to take on such a job, but soon discovered that it was something that came naturally to me, and something I enjoyed doing. I have taught students of varying levels, from a complete beginner unable to read any music, to someone who was able to sightread proficiently. I like to take the time to know what my student's goals are, and help them work towards achieving them. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Banjo Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

First and foremost, music is supposed to be fun. So I make sure we have fun during my lessons. Laughter is key. I also make sure that there is no pressure, but inspiration and motivation for the student to continue to practice and grow. I customize my lessons for individual students. Customized PDFs and lessons for each individual. No two students are alike. I have been told that my passion for music and the guitar are contagious and inspiring. Read More

Zoe L

Instruments: Piano Organ Music

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part-time 10 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 5 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

Ellen C

Instruments: Piano Oboe Bassoon

I come from a family of teachers, and I started sharing my love of music with family and friends at a very early age. I was section leader in high school and assistant concert master at a local church orchestra. During and after college, I worked with a company that provided group piano lessons at Detroit Public Schools. A nearby high school band recruited me to tutor their double reeds section. Read More

Kate P

Instruments: Piano Voice

During my undergraduate career, I taught lessons to vocal and piano students in the Chicago area. I truly loved working with those students, and I am looking forward to getting back into teaching now that I have settled in Bowling Green. The students that I had in the past immensely inspired me, and I always left lessons feeling positive and hopeful. I am sure that I will be able to find students in this area who can provide me with a similar positive experience. Read More

Desiree J

Instruments: Piano Voice

Anyone can learn to sing through persistence, hard work, and healthy practice. Singing helps improve lung capacity, diaphragm muscles, immune system strength, and relieves stress. Reading and performing music also exercises the same areas of the brain that handle math, language, and critical thinking. For my younger students, I focus on breathing, proper posture, and the fundamentals of music. For my older students, I work on correct technique, languages, musical analysis, advanced repertoire, as well as appropriate repertoire they want to work on. Read More

Chelsey P

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Music

I have been teaching private lessons for five years now to students aged 8-18. I have also taught general music classes to 3 month-two year olds in an early childhood music class. My students have excelled through solos, ensembles, festivals, etc. I believe in consistency of instruction and positive reinforcement and criticism. I best serve my students by being adaptable to all of their needs. I am currently working with a student that has william's syndrome and we have a blast together. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Elijah S

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Well, my story is a little different. My church wanted a pianist so they sent me to lessons. I began lessons a little late in the 7th grade at age 10. Once I started music lessons I loved music so much that I practiced every chance I got even during break and lunch times which contributed to my advancement in music. I started with a wonderful teacher who was warm, friendly and like a mother. She made everyone feel like they were part of a big family and she did it very naturally. Her family was a musical family so it came natural for her to cultivate the love and passion for music in her students.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
In 2016, I was chosen to be the Principal Accompanist for the World Premiere Grady-Rayam Gala of the Negro Spiritual Scholarship Foundation. This opportunity allowed me to perform with world-class opera Singer Stephanie Washington. In April 2017, I traveled to Nashville Tennessee, to compete in the James A. Hefner HBCU Piano Competition at Tennessee State University. I won the top two prizes of the competition. The first prize was 500 dollars for best overall performance and the second was 250 dollars for the best performance of a piece played by an African American composer. You can find a performance of the piece on my profile and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-ydW8BgSVA

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Well, virtuosity is hardest thing to master on the instrument. Virtuosity covers mastery of the instrument in all ways both technically and musically. Obtaining control, finger strength and dexterity, mastery of tension release, mastery of physical gestures, mastery of genres/styles, mastery of energized and active fingers and knuckles, mastery of finger placement/lower-upper arm movement, mastery of musical depth and understanding, interpretation, mastery of technique and practicing effectively are all contributors to obtaining virtuosity which in my opinion, is the hardest thing to master on the instrument.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard, Faber, John Thompson are method books that I use within my lessons because I believe they best represent the quality of music instruction I like my students to experience. More importantly, I used several of the method books in my own musical upbringing which helped to cultivate me into the pianist I am today. Also, an important feature of these method books is that they provide gradual, step by step instruction which lessons, especially for beginner should follow.

Beginner Guitar Solos: Getting Started with Improvisation

...once said, “Music is the space between notes.” Good guitar soloists don’t just barrage listeners with a constant stream of notes. They learn to give passages of music plenty of time to breathe and sink in. They realize that the notes they’re playing will have far more potency if they’re played at just the right time. You can liken this to other artistic mediums like painting or photography where too much of something often begins to take away from the original idea.   Now that you know a little bit more about guitar solos, we’re going to show you how to get started with improvising and writing...

2 Chord Songs: Easy Songs for Guitar

...As you first start out playing guitar, one of the greatest difficulties that new players have is changing between many different chords. It takes a long time and a great deal of practice to get your fingers to the point where they can move quickly and smoothly between any variety of guitar chords. As you develop the required muscle memory, a great source of frustration is not knowing how to play a song all the way through, from start to finish. Most songs have multiple sections with many different chord changes that can make it difficult for new players to get beyond the introduction. Fortunately, ... Read More

Opera Voice Types

...Fricka from Wagner’s Die Walküre.   The Contralto Voice   First off, listen to “Erda’s Warning” from Das Rheingold by Wagner. Enough said. Contralto opera voice parts come as more of a commodity, and you won’t hear them every day. In fact, it’s so rare to find a legitimate operatic contralto that dramatic mezzo sopranos often have to sing contralto roles (much to their chagrin, we can imagine). Contralto voices are characterized by an exceptionally deep, rich, and powerful timbre–Marian Anderson is arguably the best example. Contralto is the lowest of the female opera voice types.   Male Opera Voice Types   ... Read More

Types of Clarinets

...You can hear the clarinet in many different types of clarinets in all sorts of music, from classical to jazz, marching band to rock, Broadway to klezmer. The first iteration of the modern day clarinet was invented around the year 1700. Its predecessor was the chalumeau.   When people talk about the clarinet, the word “clarinet” by itself always refers to the Bb clarinet. However, there are several different types of clarinets. The number and types of clarinets a typical clarinet player owns depends on the types of music he or she plays. A jazz player may own a Bb clarinet and a ... Read More

How To Write a Pop Song

...song as a whole.   Other Sections   Verses and choruses are a Pop song’s staple sections, but they’re by no means the only sections. When learning how to write a pop song, intros, endings, bridges, and instrumental sections should be studied as well. They are powerful songwriting tools that can add valuable character, momentum, and direction to the music you’re writing. A thoughtfully-constructed intro is your way to set the tone of your song by introducing instruments, suggesting a tonality, and constructing a mood. The intro is your chance to define a mood that will carry through your song or hint at ... Read More

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.
