Aleksandr T

Instruments: Piano

For the beginning students, I use Alfred's Basic Step by Step books. This covers the following: 1) Explains how piano produces sound   2) Teaches notes on keyboard and in a notebook   3) Focuses on ability to learn the rhythm, pitch and articulation 4) Introduces solo repertoire from different styles of music I want to teach my student to love music.   Read More

Juan C

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Music

Additionally, information regarding where these materials can be obtained will be provided, enabling parents to acquire them for future classes. For clarinet, saxophone, Fagot or oboe students reeds should be provided by the parents. I can offer guidance on finding reeds at lower prices and selecting the appropriate sizes and brands for each instrument. It is recommended to have a cleaning kit for each instrument (regardless of the type). This will help in maintaining the instruments in good condition. Read More

Chuck M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Flute Ukulele Recorder

My teaching approach is tailored to the interests and goals of each student, but always includes fundamentals such as scales, strength-building exercises, rudiments of theory, and ear training. Some of the method books I've used include the Faber "Piano Adventures" series, Alfred and Bastien series, and Hanon's The Virtuoso Pianist, among others. I always supplement these materials with arrangements and transcriptions of popular songs and classical pieces, along with original exercises designed to teach specific styles and techniques.

Justin B

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet

One of the best parts of teaching is seeing a student accomplish something they previously thought they couldn't do. I'm here to tell you that you can do it! Whether you want to learn to play some tough classical pieces or some of your favorite songs on your instrument, or just develop a deeper understanding of music as a whole, I can help get you there. As a teacher, I think it's important to take a broad view of the impact on music education on students of all ages. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Harmonica Ukulele Recorder Electric Violin Fiddle Double Bass Euphonium French Horn Tuba Piccolo Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Oboe Bassoon English Horn Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My methods vary on the student and subject. Beginning students will typically focus more on technical pieces of music to improve on certain aspects of a few pieces to perform. More advanced students will still practice technical parts of their music, but less time will be spent on it during a lesson. Advanced level students will spend more time on repertoire and performance. The more advanced a student gets, the more I expect them to practice outside of lessons and apply their newly learned technical skills into their music on their own. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Miranda S

Instruments: Voice Music

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I knew ever since I was a child that I was meant to be a professional singer. I even had dreams ever since I was younger about me performing music, my parents have my sisters and I on vhs tapes singing and playing the kiddy piano, and I had a heavenly encounter where I was singing in heaven in beautiful clothing.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Honestly, for me it is very hard to pick a favorite genre because I love them all, and I listen to and sing all genres. I will say however that I have a preference for music in other languages.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music definitely runs in my family on my mother and father’s side. Music, performance, acting, and the arts in general go back generations on both sides.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session for me starts with breath work, stretches, relaxation exercises, vocal warm ups, choosing repertoire, working on my theory workbooks, working on my piano, and I teach myself piano and other fun vocal things.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I was not a singer I would probably be working in the sciences. I love all types of sciences like the sciences of human behavior, the human body, plants, and animals.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in vocal performance. I did however, play piano off and on through out the years. And I work on my musical theory books.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform is “The Magic Flute,” “The Queen of the Night.” One of the four languages that I speak is German. And the Magic Flute is in German, and I love the high notes.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of the superior ratings that I have received from recitals, I have done many performances, and I have a lot of views on social media.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My hope is that when I start teaching my students will win competitions. I don’t currently have any students right now but, with hard work and practice there will be many wins.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think that sometimes it can be difficult to grow your range and develop confidence in your self and your instrument. These are things that I continue to work on daily. And it is hard not to compare myself with others as well.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I have developed some of my own methods. For example, I have learned animal sounds in order to strengthen and stretch my range. I was surprised at how many animals and birds make sounds that sound like the human voice.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose voice as my instrument of choice because I love to sing. I am also a dancer and I put my dance and singing videos on YouTube and TikTok.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
A teacher that I had from junior high all the way up to my age now inspired me to continue with my music. This teacher of mine has unfortunately passed on but, he taught me many wonder things that instilled a sense of pride in my many cultural backgrounds.

When will I start to see results?
I don’t try to put a time limit on a student’s improvement because it depends on the student. I can provide the students with all the tools necessary however, the students must practice applying them.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice and repetition are of upmost importance. I also love the fact that social media provides challenges that help the students improve in many areas. I would have the students do fun challenges to help them improve vocal quality and range.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You know by assessing the personality and the levels of the student. I also think that she and personality play a big role. For example, a child can be too young to begin lessons.

...start again with the middle C note. Skip a whole step and you’ll get D. Skip another one and you’ll get E. From there, move up just a half-step and you’ll get F.
