My teaching experience dates back to high school. I was a student leader in the marching band, serving as the woodwind captain for the marching band and the senior student conductor for the concert bands. With these positions, I was able to tutor peers and work on expanding my knowledge of teaching music. Once I graduated, I continued to be employed as the clarinet technician for the marching band at my high school for the next 4 years. Read More

Larry D

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Saxophone Drums Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion Music Djembe

I'm trying to put each student in touch with their inner creative. Everyone learns at a different pace and my approach is to teach something to mastery level rather than fill a quota. Inspiration and the joy of playing is first and foremost with my approach. By breaking difficult passages down into digestable pieces and making attainable goals, I find this keeps the student interested and builds confidence to overcome weaknesses. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Zach E

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bassoon

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I made the decision in high school, and I have stuck to it since. Now, where I am now is not how I envisioned it then (I thought I would be playing guitar in a band), but my life has always been about chasing musical fulfillment. Meeting different people, discovering different styles, being exposed to different musical cultures has all had a hand in shaping where I am today, but the central idea of music has been, and will always be constant.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Professional music doesn't run in my family, but my parents always had music in the house. On my mother's side, my grandfather loved to sing and play guitar, and my grandmother was a dancer. My father's parents were in a travelling Baptist gospel band, which had me raised on folk music. My mother loves to sing, my father is constantly listening to new music. My siblings all play something in the way they see most fulfilling, my sisters are signers and dancers, and my brothers play guitar and drums. I'm the only one who is a professional, but I'm far from the only musician.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started on saxophone, and kept playing even after switching to bassoon because I wanted to stay involved in jazz band. In college, I continued even further with jazz band and had instruction on flute and clarinet, because some of the music we played called for doubling. A lot of my freelance work at this time was playing in pit orchestras for musicals, which also require multiple instruments for one person, so I developed a level of comfort on woodwind instruments.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be working with animals in some way! My favorite non-musical job I worked was taking care of the pets in a pet store, and I especially love taking care of birds. I've owned all sorts of pets, and help take care of even more, and I love all of the quirks that come with each species and how differently they interact with everything around them.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite to play is classical, because that is what I'm trained to do best. I feel very at home and comfortable sitting in an orchestra, and it is an excellent outlet for my instrument to function in. Because of my time spent playing in classical orchestras, I've developed a deep love for the music played by them, and feel like I'm contributing to a long history. I also love playing jazz, and specifically improvising, for the exact opposite reasons. There's a methodology to improvising, but so much of it is personal and only exists in the moment, and I think that's really beautiful and fun.

Jazz Scales: The Pentatonic Scale

...than one good chord/scale relationship. For example, the Cmajor(b6) pentatonic sounds good over a Bb13(#11) chord, and also sounds good over an Fminor(major7) chord, and also works over a G13sus(b9).   A useful exercise is to look at a chord and try to figure out which pentatonic scale, or pentatonic scales, would sound good over that chord. Eventually, you’ll be able to do this on the fly.   Scale Patterns   As for practicing pentatonic scales, you can practice them the same way you practice most of your other scales. Think about all your major scale exercises. You can practice pentatonic scales straight, in... Read More

Hey There Delilah Chords for Acoustic Guitar (Plain White T’s)

...2 & 3 & 4 (&). Please note that you will be playing a quarter note on the “4”.   Basic Finger-style Technique Hey There Delilah is perfect for beginning finger-style players. The right hand is notated as follows: P = Thumb I = Index M = Middle A = Ring   The right-hand finger-picking pattern will not use the ring finger. The “P” (or thumb) plays on the downbeat while the “I and M” (index and middle) are played together, as if they were just one finger, on the “and” of each beat. Simply alternate between the P and I–M.   For the Intro, the P will ... Read More

Jazz Scales: The Diminished Scale

...scale”. Let’s analyze the notes in the scale and see how they relate to the chord. The notes in the scale, in ascending order, are: 1, b9, #9, 3, #4 (#11), 5, 6 (13), and b7. So, every note in this scale is part of a dominant thirteenth with a flat nine, sharp nine, and sharp eleven chord. I suggest playing these chords on piano and playing the diminished scale over them, so you get the sound in your ear. You can also arpeggiate the chord and then play the scale. Scale Patterns Here’s where the “endless possibilities” part that I talked about in ... Read More

Try using logic as well as using your ear so that you begin thinking in 12 keys. See which feels more comfortable, but keep trying both methods even after you figure this out. Examples Based on the Major Scale These first few examples are based solely on the major scale. The first two are easy songs everyone knows. The third one is a jazz standard.

A Case for Early Childhood Music Education

...the more musical vocabulary they will develop.   Let’s go back to the three year old whose parents wish for him to begin piano lessons ASAP. Indeed, a child at this young age will not be able to play four octave scales in sixteenth note patterns, but he could be placed with a teacher who understands his current stage of cognitive development and focuses on foundational skills in music. This can be done through a number of ways, whether game based or purely exploratory. These early experiences provide an entry point from which young musicians blossom.   If you were to take ...
