Instruments: Piano
Nothing makes me happier than seeing my students developed a passion and desire for music. Therefore, not only is it about what pieces I want to teach, but also what songs or pieces my students are interested in learning. That is why I ask my students from time to time, "What do you want to learn?" Depending on their level, we decide if we can learn it or wait. I also try to make my students share the process of finding out information; Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Double Bass
I generally use Alfred for piano, both the children's and adult's versions. I use Hal Leonard for guitar. For both violin and double bass, I generally use either Belwin or Essential Elements. However, some students prefer to not use a method book at all and that is fine. Also, some have different method books they like, which is also fine. Read More
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
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
Instruments: Piano Oboe Bassoon
I have always had an eclectic love for all things music, and enthusiastically share it with anyone who will have me! There was a piano in my house growing up and I couldn't stay away. In school, I studied oboe and bassoon. Eventually I just explored any instrument that caught my interest- guitar, trumpet, ocarinas, panflutes, etc. I spent a lot of time doing musical theatre, and studied voice for a time as well.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer
I have been teaching music, mainly guitar and piano, off and on for almost 15 years. My style varies on the age of the student, what they hope to achieve and where their strengths lie. I feel it's important for the student to learn the fundamentals while simultaneously having fun with their instrument and exploring the music they feel passionate about. For me, the trick is inspiring the student to pick up their instrument everyday and want to play it. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
For beginner students, I would definitely use Hal Leonards Essential Elements for trumpet (Books 1-4). It is always best for new students to start with identifying the notes and the rhythms, along with learning some fundamental exercises to fully master the trumpet. For more advanced/intermediate students (7th or 8th grade), I would start by giving out solo pieces to better prepare for solo and ensemble competitions, all the way till their final year at high school.

When will I start to see results?
You should start to see results in no later than a month. I believe that if the student has an instrument and is serious about being a musician then the natural ambition they possess will drive them to be successful also. Motivation at home is also a key factor. A good diet and exercise is a great way to see results even in music! Sometimes the student may want to learn a favorite song on the instrument for cool points with themselves or for entertainment. This is s great way to see progress quickly since they already enjoy the tune. So likely they will learn it fast as possible!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes. My grandfather was my first inspiration. He was a guitarist and keyboard player. I would listen to him play all the time when I lived with him and my granny as a kid. When I was around 12 years old I knew that I wanted to be a guitarist. I heard Led Zeppelin and I was blown away! Then I heard Jimi Hendrix and I definitely knew I was going to be a professional musician. Around 11th grade my band teacher put me in the orchestra because I would always come to the band room during lunch and play the double bass
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will know if the student is a good student in other classes besides music and if they have discipline. Good conduct and moral standards are important also. Respect for others and themselves. If they can be confident in asking questions and not feel embarrassed about being wrong sometimes is a good indication in my opinion. If the child shows a natural talent for music and they constantly are creating sounds with their mouth or banging on things is a good indication also. If the the student likes to dance then that is s good indication also in my opinion.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
It is a very important part of musical growth. I always have stood by practice like you play. The more time the student spend with the instruments the better they will become. But I also believe that playing your instruments a lot does not necessarily make one a better musician. The student had to get out of the comfort zone and practice things that are challenging and sometimes opposite of what they may like musically. Practicing slow and methodically will greatly improve a students technique and tone while also making them more confident to learn the music.
