Tamboura B

Instruments: Violin

From my own experience both as a student and as a teacher, teaching anything in life is most effectively done with consistency and practice. Learning violin is no exception to that fundamental truth. As a teacher, I emphasize consistent practicing. I don't, however, believe in being too hard on students. It is very important that there is a love for what you do.   I will offer two types of curriculum to my students. Read More

I have been an active performer since 2011, currently being the principal percussionist for the Southern California Philharmonic in Corona Del Mar, CA, as well as an occasional percussionist with the La Mirada Symphony, Palos Verdes Regional Symphony Orchestra, Dana Point Symphony, and Whittier Regional Symphony Orchestra.

Shirley T

Instruments: Piano Violin

Most students were sometimes getting good but sometimes they have a hard time playing with difficult notes that I teach. Some students were getting good on the beginning methods and understanding what the music book is going to read and learn about. I encourage the students to practice the beginning methods seriously for about 30 minutes. If the student is getting a little hard, she can take a break for 10 minutes and go back to the homework.

Grace R

Instruments: Violin Viola

I began professionally teaching violin over 8 years ago. I started with a few of my own private, and eventually began teaching in different music academies and schools. Before I moved to Los Angeles, I had over 25 violin students weekly! I like to keep my studio fun and exciting for everyone involved. Students are encouraged to learn the basics so they can play any type of music they want in the future. Read More

Nikkia C

Instruments: Violin Viola

Hello, I love both music, the violin, and working with children of all ages! I recently graduated with a Master's degree in violin pedagogy and moved to Pasadena, CA. While I am trained as a classical violinist with an undergraduate degree in violin performance, I also was privileged to work with the bluegrass fiddler/songwriter Becky Buller for several years along with performing bluegrass music with my family (I am the oldest of 9 children and we all play the violin along with many other instruments and play and sing together).

Spencer T

Instruments: Violin

Communication is a key element of any student-teacher relationship. While most instrumental training can be fairly orthodox in nature, Im primarily interested in striking a balance between the clarity and focus that convention can offer and the creative desires of the student. In short, I believe that creating a democratic space for the student to learn and grow can keep the experience fresh, exciting, and encouraging. Read More

Lucy L

Instruments: Violin Electric Violin

I have been playing the violin since I was 3, my father was my first violin teacher.  Music is a big part of my life and I do enjoy performing and teaching very much.  I love sharing my music knowledge with others, seeing my students making progress and achieving their goals is priceless and makes my life more worth living.  I have performed as violin soloist, chamber musician and concertmaster of orchestras, those are valuable experiences I had in life that I'd love to pass on to others.  I have also had student recitals every year in the past ten years, my students and I have toured and performed in China.

James S

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Mandolin Keyboard

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I aid my students in creating a regular routine. I believe in a balanced approach and small sectioning and memorization techniques. I teach my students how to be disciplined and how to strive towards excellence taking pride in their practice and accomplishments. Typical 1 hour practice for vocalists: 10 minutes of breath work, 10 minutes of vocalise, 30 minutes of repertoire and memorization, 10 minutes of IPA study/diction. Also during the week, music history study by watching musicals, operas, ear training/theory homework. Each student is different but I have all my students keep a practice journal, and I show them how to get maximum benefit from practicing. I hold my students to high standards, and if students are consistently unprepared, show up without their books or continually do not follow my studio policy they are dismissed. But I am a loving caring teacher and have never had any challenges with students not practicing or trying their best.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I believe it comes down to the parents. Many parents today do not discipline their children correctly. Since many parents work, there is often absentee parents, and children are on social media all day. When I was a child it was REQUIRED that I practice music 2 hours a day before I played. You may start a child at any age. Spend time with your child, love them and get them interested in music and the arts. My parents started me in music at age 3. Personally though I'm more of an artist dev coach... I tend to work with High School Age students and adults over children. Though I have taught children in the past... I prefer the intellectual stimulation of advanced artists.

When will I start to see results?
A student will see results if they commit and follow my suggestions. It is always up to the student. I find personally that students preparing for careers in the arts or retired seniors who have all the time in the world to study make for my best students. These students work hard and stay loyal to me. I have had students that started with me at age 12 that are now professional arts in coaching with me at age 21. I don't waste my time with flakey students who are not serious about their personal excellence. I have no problem teaching beginners (age 12 and older) if they are doing their best to practice and progress. I'm a great motivator and my students are the very best in Southern CA... What usually happens is a new student will be greatly inspired by the success of my other students who always win competitions, get the starring roles in musicals, and give dynamite performances.

How To Sing And Play Piano At the Same Time

...play C and F major chords in one hand with half notes while singing the chord names in quarter notes. Feel free to experiment with different combinations of rhythms to sing and play with when you feel ready.       Now that you’ve worked on creating independence between your voice and hands we can add an actual vocal melody into the exercise. Singing over the same C and F major chords, you’ll now sing a simple 4-note melody. For these notes you can sing “Do-Re-Mi-Re” or any other syllables you prefer. Feel free to experiment as you gain confidence.   Vocal Melody (played over... Read More

Guitar Lessons For Adults: Taking Guitar Lessons as an Adult

...their kids is a great idea. This way the parent and kids spend time together in lessons, and both parties learn a new skill while keeping each other accountable during the week for practicing. A parent can’t say, “Hey Jimmy, you need to practice the guitar,” if they haven’t practiced the guitar themselves. If you’re serious about learning music over the next few years, what an incredible gift it could be for your family to make learning how to play the guitar a part of your household routine. Guitar lessons for adults are also great when a friend or two is involved. Maybe ... Read More

Suzuki Practice: A Daily Event

...What can you do? Number one, remember, you are the practice coach. A sports coach doesn’t take “I don’t want to” for an excuse to skip practice. You can’t, either. Your job is to gently, yet firmly, guide the child into the practice session and get it done. Chances are, once your child is in the middle of the practicing, he’ll forget his frump about practicing and will be just as excited as ever to finally play “Lightly Row” without dropping the toy car off the violin. But if there is sickness or injury, or just a hard day, cut back. Many years ago, the ... Read More

This will really begin to strengthen your ear! One trick is to match certain intervals with popular tunes. I will give just a couple examples here.

Roll in My Sweet Baby’s Arms, Guitar Lesson 2/3

...Intermediate Rhythm This is an intermediate rhythm guitar lesson for the song “Roll in my Sweet Baby’s Arms.” This will involve bass runs to each chord, hammer-ons and pull-offs, and a more in-depth look at the G-run. One of the best parts about this lesson is once your comfortable with the bass runs and places to insert the G-run, you can use these in other songs in the key of G. Here are a few things to focus on during this lesson. 1. Make sure you master the first two measures. It can easily be over looked but it will set the tone for the rest of the piece.
