Instruments: Violin Viola Electric Violin

I have developed for seven years as one of the most atractive professors for the System of Youth Orchestras of Venezuela (El Sistema) and the Simon Bolivar Conservatory. It aimed to develop the artistic and intellectual capacity of children and young people through the music academy. Some of my students are now part of the most important orchestras in the country such as Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, Teresa Carreño Symphony Orchestra, Youth Orchestra of Caracas and some others have already won scholarships to study abroad.

Instruments: Violin Cello Viola

For beginning students,on violin, viola and cello, I work with the Essential Elements and Suzuki books (depending on the student). They offer a lot of practical information, as well as beginning music theory for all string students. For my beginning violin and viola students, I only work with them through Essential Elements book 3. At that time, I would refer them to a teacher who's primary instrument is violin. With my cello students, all levels are welcome. Read More

Shabria R

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola

I have been teaching violin and viola for the last six years. My main goal is to make sure that student is having a great time learning how to play an instrument while making sure the student understands good practice habits. I want to make sure that the student has fun in their lessons and I make it my main priority. If the student wants to learn jazz, I am well versed in jazz and can teach jazz. Read More

Joanna S

Instruments: Violin Cello Viola

One of the many advantages to private instruction, and what makes me so passionate about it, is that each student can move at their own speed. Private lessons should be tailored to the individual, so that the student can form a solid foundation. I believe in teaching students with encouragement and positivity, so that playing an instrument can be an enjoyable challenge, rather than a wretched slog. It is important to me that my students know I believe in them, and that our goals are agreed upon as a group. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard

My teaching experience dates back about 20 years. Since then, I’ve taught many levels and many instruments. I’ve taught students ranging from 18 months to 81 years old. I’ve taught many styles;including jazz, pop, and rock. I’ve had students to make videos and win several competitions. My favorite genre to teach is classical. With classical, you can pull all of the other genres out of it. When you learn classical first, everything else seems to fall into place. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Heather M

Instruments: Violin Viola

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had a teacher in high school that inspired me to study music in college. She was an amazing musician but she was also an all-around, kind, passionate, fun individual. She showed me that you could do lots of other things besides playing an instrument or study music. Studying music gives you this opportunity. You can still be a doctor and be a professional musician, you can still be a rock climber and study music in college. Choosing music as a career allowed me to fulfill all of my interests. Aside from being a musician and music teacher, I am also a yoga teacher, a coder, a visual artist. I can do so many different things because music has taught me discipline and determination for my wants and desires.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
First and foremost, self-reflection. Listen to other musicians play what you are practicing and decide that is how you want to sound. Start practicing with a plan and what is expected. Make a checklist and grab a kitchen timer. Lots of time can be wasted in practice by repeating the same thing over and over, to avoid this, choose 5 measures at a time that trouble you and set a timer for five minutes. Once the timer dings move on, it doesn't matter if you solved the problem or not, I promise by spending a focused five minutes on a passage progress has been made. If you have a younger child, make practicing fun. In my lessons, we can learn games to incorporate into practice and even determine ways practicing can be rewarded. Practicing for an hour is unrealistic for a younger student, but practicing for five minutes and then going outside to play and then practicing for another five minutes is much more realistic. Practice is not always fun, but it can be.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your student expresses interest, they are ready. Lessons can be tailored to whatever the students learning needs are. Age 3 might be too young for an instrument, but it isn't too young for music in general. Find a teacher that will meet your child where they are at and fill their desire to learn music or an instrument. If your child wants to only play Taylor Swift songs, as long as they understand they need to learn the fundamentals first, there is no reason the teacher should deny your child that desire.

When will I start to see results?
You will see results when practicing outside of the lesson takes place on a regular basis. Practice does not make perfect, but practice does make progress. Trust has to be put forth in the teacher, if your teacher asks you to practice one scale for five minutes, ask why and then go and do it. Knowing the reasoning behind why we are practicing can help us understand what we need to do to get the result we are all expecting. patience is key, instruments are extremely difficult, give yourself realistic goals and expectations. No one has ever left their first lesson sounding like a professional.
