Instruments: Voice, Music
I cater my methods to age, culture, and interests of students. This allows them to achieve success at their own pace. Assessing the students age, interests, needs, and culture will contribute to the creation of their lessons. I also find that knowing the students levels and vocal ranges can also be helpful in creating lessons for the students. It is also important to know a vast repertoire of musical styles so that one can create relatability with the students. Read More
Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Music, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar
Dedication, perseverance, preparation, and practice always pay off as long as you're using the correct methods for practicing, staying in time and being consistent. I'm not the kind of teacher who gets angry if the student didn't practice the homework or lesson material they were given. What matters is the students being able to get a general idea and understanding of the lesson where they can continue moving forward in their musical/artistic career and possibly apply what they learned in their own journey.

If so, we'll go directly to that. - Demonstration of all pieces while working on any problems - Assignment and demonstration, practice and special directions for each piece. - Theory check and new assignment. Complete as needed. - As time permits, review of flashcards, ear training and so forth. - Music Lab (either before or after the lesson as fits in with the students around you) - 15-20 minutes of independent study: musical computer games to support what we are working on, read books about music, composers, music history and so forth, listen to music as supports what we are working on, complete any missed theory assignments, review of flashcards if needed.

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Trumpet, Euphonium, Music, Keyboard
I began teaching trumpet when I was a high school student. My students were middle school aged peers within my school district that needed additional guidance. While in college, I maintained two dozen or so students within my own private studio. Some of these students were non-music majors that were given to me by my own voice professor. My primary instrument is the human voice. A complicated yet versatile instrument that is unique in every person, and as such should be treated with specific pedagogical methods that best suit a student's age, skill level, and learning style.

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Oboe, Music
I love making music and helping students to be confident making music. I know that life can get busy and students won't always be able to practice every day, so I set realistic goals for them and emphasize that even just a little bit of (focused) practice is much better than no practice at all. The most important thing is that students feel like they are making progress and are enjoying the process, rather than checking off a box of drudgery every day just to check it off. Read More
