Ellen C

Instruments: Piano Oboe Bassoon

I'm very friendly and patient. Learning music should be enjoyable, and never a burden. My students learn at their own pace and have fun doing it. I'm happy to work with youngters, providing they have a basic grasp of letters and numbers. Older beginners are some of my favorites, those who may have always wanted to learn and never had time before. It's never too early or late to bring music into your life, as it helps with concentration, dexterity, and relaxation! Read More

Reuven A

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music

I tailor my teaching to the interest and styles of my students. I put emphasis on teaching all related facets of music as well as focusing on technique. Since moving to Ann Arbor 15 years ago, all of my students have reached the top band in their high schools and most were first chair/section leader by their senior year. Students will be proficient playing scales and arpeggios in all keys. 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

Benjamin M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Drums Bass Guitar Recorder Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style is laid back with the full intention of moving forward in both technique and enjoyment. Each Lesson is geared toward the Goals we agree on as Student and Teacher. Depending on age and experience, I set goals at 3 months or 6 months. It is crucial to allow the student to learn at his or her own rate. Again, I strive to find the Creativity in the Student and to see how that can be developed as quickly as possible, especially if they are interested in songwriting, singing, composition, or simply doing their "own thing".

Chelsey P

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Music

My teaching style is whatever fits best with the student. I am a high energy, silly, out of the box kind of teacher. I have no shame doing a silly dance to get my students engaged and moving! My main goal is for students to have fun and enjoy making music. My students will quickly learn to love every sound that they make because every note they produce is unique to them. Read More

Evan H

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Keyboard Electric Guitar

Hello! While playing music is one of my favorite thing in the world, it doesn't seem to compare to teaching others how to make music. I'm a University of Michigan student who loves producing and jamming out. I started my musical career at age 10 with the cello, but pretty quickly changed to the piano. My formal education is lacking, but I've spent the last 12 years learning theory and performance through books, articles, and lots and lots of trial and error. Read More

Morris B

Instruments: Piano Guitar

I let the student decide what the lesson is to be like. There are a lot of things to cover, but I will adapt what I think is the best teaching style for the student based on things like what he or she wants to learn. If you are interested in electronic music production, I can even teach lessons in Ableton Live. I am very well versed in all aspects of pro audio and would love to share and teach my knowledge.

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.
