Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar

I am looking first at what the students know about music and what they can put into practice. Then according to their level i managed to teach them the 14 Chords on guitar in order to move forward in their ability skills. Then I will propose them to learn any songs of their choice and teach them the manner to play it ; arpeggio, Rythmic, solos. I can teach the students some basic of music theory for them to be able to read music and apply it on their instrument. Read More

Instruments: Piano

My students can expect a teacher who is patient, understanding, and demands the very best from them, according to their abilities. Teaching has always been my passion and I believe that children gain so much more than just an elegant skill. Students of all ages gain confidence, self-esteem, and a good work ethic. Music is linked to better math grades, improved memory, and general. I love that my job is helping students achieve their goals. Read More

Instruments: Piano

For most beginners, I use the Bastian series to get students started. this series of instructional books combines basic theory with practical examples that help to reinforce the concepts introduced each week. While working on fundamentals, we introduce performance selections that are fun and engaging. For adult learners, I typically chart a path of instruction based upon their goals and interests. Practice assignments are designed to reinforce the lessons and perfect the technique necessary to reach the desired performance goals. Read More

All student clients receive artist development training according to their level of skill, I will complete a basic assessment to find out student goals and dreams. I will give students a professional critique of their performance or skill. Together we devise a performance action plan which outlines the students creative journey and desired outcome. if students would like to perform, they will have an option to perform at their desired place. (school, church, event, video etc.) Students receive a performance assessment which may or may not lead to additional advance training. Read More

Each lesson helps beginners or advanced students with unique lessons. Most student lessons last 45 minutes- and not uncommon up to an hour, and even more at no extra charge. It's a recharge that may require more than a week of practice, so schedule accordingly. My beginning music course has "handout" copies of my lessons to encourage individual students learning theory and sight reading. I use the "Michael Aaron" course for beginners, progressing with new techniques and work borks by John Thompson, covering classical, pop, rock and blues. Read More

Shafer B

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Keyboard

While I understand that fundamentals are necessary and the need to learn and study the "how" and "why" of music is incredibly important, there is absolutely a place for popular music. I strive to create a fun and captivating setting for students that includes making connections between standard repertoire and modern popular music. Once I understand a students wants or needs I will be able to adjust my curriculum to better fit the specific needs of that student. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The ability to practice affectively takes time. For the beginning student it may, at times, feel tedious. My job it to break the materials apart into workable pieces for the beginning student. This means creating reasonable practice assignments based on how a student is accessed. For a beginning student I might expect 15 to 25 minutes 5 days a week. In a few weeks this should give us some idea how students use their practice time and how quickly they might progress. The riddle to solve is how to keep it interesting and fun for a student without short changing their true ability or musical aptitude.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
At times you don't know. Of course if a child expresses interest or excitement over some musical activity or event it might be obvious that it's time. However, for many families it is believed that music should be a part of a child's education curriculum and music will be approached as any other aspect of their academic development takes place. In this case, when the study of music becomes a non-negotiable part of a child's education you can only hope you find a teacher who can make it fun while at the same time not compromising on the actual study of music.

When will I start to see results?
If all goes well you should see results in the first few moments. Learning to play the piano and the language of music is like many other things. Learning is cumulative. As soon as a beginning student understands the layout of the keyboard, the names of the keys, how the musical staves work as well as simple rudimentary rhythm notation they are able to play simple tunes as well as understand what they are doing. Also, like many other activities that require effort and an investment in time, music is one of those things where you get out of it what you put into it. Once a beginning student is able to play a familiar tune they become motivated to spend more time at it, they discover they are better able to focus and develop the discipline necessary at a rate that may surprise everyone. The student included.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had a number of inspirational teachers. When I went to my first teacher I already had a good understanding of the language of music .. the notation etc. and was able to play intermediate pieces. When I told her I wanted to play Rhapsody in Blue by Gershwin, which I was not at all ready to play, she said "Let's see what we need to do to get there.". That was the beginning of an entire education in technique Once I started college I had a number of other wonderful teachers both for piano as well as in theory, counterpoint and composition. It was in college that I learned that most good teachers have a lot to offer a motivated student. There is a point where it is up to the student to glean as much as they are able to that particular teacher. And I was hungry enough to learn a lot.

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.
