Dorothy C

Instruments: Violin Music Keyboard

During my undergraduate years, I had the privilege to tour in Asia (Hong Kong and Korea) with other string performance majors. My major teachers were Dr. Sarita Kwok and Dr. Susan Kim. I went on to pursue a Master of Music (M.M.) degree in violin performance at Ohio University from 2018-2020, where I have received a full ride graduate assistantship and was a violinist in the Klinder Graduate Quartet.

Wayman M

Instruments: Violin

My teaching experience began while attending graduate school 30 years ago. I have been teaching consistently in my home studio and with the Liya Foundation Summer Music Camp for the past 6 years. At the Liya Summer Camp, I conduct private lessons, sectionals, and assist with orchestra rehearsals. I am a patient, fun loving violin instructor who believes in stretching a student's growth. I emphasize disciplined, consistent practice to improve skills but do not expect perfection. In my opinion, no one ever completely masters the violin. Read More

Jason R

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar

I have a lot of experience with curriculum development. My favorite books to teach from include Accent on Achievement, Alfred's Piano Book series and Essential Elements. However I can teach without a book on any instruments and compose assignments as I have done in the past. Even if I am teaching using a book, I usually do a lot of ear training and music theory based assignments that are not found in these books. Read More

Stephanie S

Instruments: Violin

I have helped students achieve their goals as young as 4 years old and into their college years! I am trained in the Suzuki Method, but I also feel comfortable teaching any preference and learning style. I particularly enjoy teaching younger musicians and have focused my work on beginner students, as young as preschool. However, because of my extensive performing experience, I have been able to see many of my students into universities where they have continued to play the violin at top levels. Read More

Robert B

Instruments: Violin Fiddle

My primary goal is for people to have fun while learning music. I believe that you can never teach someone something they have no interest in learning and I'm most committed to making sure that students at all levels are excited about what they are doing. Especially with fiddle, my goal is to make the experience enjoyable and useful. Hopefully before too long you can get out to a session and strum along even if you are stone cold beginner. Read More

Cheuk Ching T

Instruments: Violin

I am a classically trained violinist. I enjoy helping my students to improve and bringing out their full potential. At the age of 15, I was offered scholarship by the British Government's Music and Dance Scheme to study at a music high school, the Purcell School of Music in the UK with Berent Korfker, who was also a professor at Royal College of Music. After spending 5 years at Berlin University of the Arts (one of Europe’s most premier classical music & arts conservatories) earning my Bachelor of Music degree under Latica Honda-Rosenberg, I received full scholarship to study at the Yale School of Music with Hyo Kang.

Teacher In Spotlight

Annija K

Instruments: Violin Viola

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
The many teachers that I have had in high school were the main reasons why I decided to go in to music. My high school orchestra teacher is a professional bass player and he continues to inspire me as I grow older. I was also a member of various youth orchestras, all of which had very inspirational teachers. I hope to inspire my students to go in to music or at least continue their music while they pursue other things.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instruments, the viola, because of my father. He told me that as a baby, I would bob up and down whenever the violas had a solo in any classical music piece that we would listen to together, so he knew that the instrument was meant for me. Additionally, the viola is an instrument that gets enough time in the spotlight, but it primarily serves as the supporting role in an ensemble. I feel that the viola is perfect for me because my personality is extroverted enough to enjoy being in attention part of the time, but I excel the most when I support my colleagues and friends.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have been a member of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, which is the premier training orchestra in the Midwest. It is associated with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, so we got to perform at Symphony Center and our coaches were members of the Chicago Symphony. Additionally, I was also a member of the Baltic Sea Philharmonic, which is comprised of members who were selected from a pool of musicians that are from one of the 10 countries that border that Baltic Sea.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have both a Bachelors degree in Music and a Masters degree in Music Performance. I chose these degrees because I have always felt that I shined the most in music and that I couldn't picture myself in a job that didn't require me to perform, teach, or discuss music on a daily basis. I pride myself in receiving my masters degree from Northwestern University because that is where I believe that I was pushed to my limits as a musician. I have learned to perform and teach at very high level because of the degrees I have attained.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice passages that are tricky slowly at first and then slowly pick up the tempo (preferably using your metronome!). Taking the time to play slowly first helps wonders and helps technique.

Chord Substitution

...within a key or progression. The chords used for substitution must have some harmonic relation to the original chord which means that substitutions only work if there’s a one or two note difference between the original and substituted chord.   Originally pioneered by jazz composers, chord substitutions are now widely used by writers working in many genres. They’re a great way to take routine chord progressions to new, unexpected places without altering the character or feel of a section of music.   Common types of chord substitutions   Diatonic chord substitutions-   In the key of C major, a C major 7th chord can easily be substituted...

His assistant, Dorothy DeLay, became a well-respected violin teacher and some of the musicians he taught are still very active on the musical front, including Pinchas Zucherman, Jaime Laredo, and Michael Rabin.   Jascha Heifetz (1901 – 1987)       Although not born in America, Heifetz became a naturalized U.

The playing technique is quite complex, and it is not unusual for the player to incorporate showy elements such as tossing and flipping the instrument.   Here’s an excellent solo that shows the breadth of playing techniques, including every conceivable way to achieve a roll!       While there are many more, and some from parts of the world where the frame drum plays a somewhat lesser role (such as East Asia and Subsaharan Africa), we’ve covered the majority of the most popular frame drums. As noted before, in future installments we’ll delve into the goblet-shaped, barrel-shaped, and other ... Read More

Saxophone Warm-Ups: Practice Exercises for All Levels

...  The amount of time it takes to adequately warm up varies dependent on a few factors. Part of warming up is literally warming up. If it’s cold outside, it takes more time to warm up than if it’s hot outside. When I went for my graduate school audition in Ohio, it was freezing outside; the dead of winter in Northwest Ohio. The first few minutes of that specific warm-up consisted of running my hands under warm water. The amount of time warming up takes could also be dependent upon your playing schedule. If you have a very active performing schedule, ... Read More

Testing Room Acoustics for Musicians

...points in the room that are the most problematic.   There are many treatments available for corners, such as bass traps, but placing square blocks of foam is a simple, cost effective way to manage these. As you treat the room, continue testing room acoustics, and make notes of how the problem areas have changed or moved.   Once you have used all the desired treatment options, re-perform the clap-test in the middle of the room. The flutter echoes should be noticeably reduced. Your footsteps in the empty room will likely sound different. Put on a song that has a wide and dynamic ... Read More

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.
