Leerone H

Instruments: Violin

When I was two years old, I saw a young girl play the violin in a concert. I was so inspired that I begged my parents to let me begin violin lessons. Finally, at five years old, I stood proudly with my tiny violin and have not put it down since. Playing the violin has taken me around the world for various performances, music festivals, and teaching workshops. I have performed as a soloist with the New York Concerti Sinfonietta in Carnegie Hall, traveled to three different continents for music festival concerts, and co-founded the Heartbeat Project and the Joining Hands Project.

The most rewarding part of being a teacher is to see your students grow and love their musicianship. Music is a language that is more universal than any other language in the world! Passing on the knowledge and works of composers and artists from yesterday to today. I set realistic goals for my students that are achievable and rewarding. I tend to look on the positive side of each performance and I teach through kindness humor and respect. Read More

As a teacher I like to be very encouraging, gentle, and supportive. I make sure to encourage with positive reinforcement. When a child gets something right, I praise the accomplishment. If they fall short, I compliment them on something that well, and then add something along the lines of, "That was amazing, let's do that same thing only this time ______". I also encourage any students, young and old, to do some searching for material on their own to practice learning new skills. Read More

My music pedagogy is influenced by Zoltan Kodaly, mile Jaques-Dalcroze, Edwin Gordon, and Carl Orff. For teaching violin, while I employ elements of the Suzuki Method, Strictly Strings, and Metodo Nicolo Violin to instill discipline and establish ,precision, I set up a lively, interdisciplinary, and creative environment by incorporating calisthenics, games, dancing, singing, and storytelling to encourage versatility and innovation.

Piano Music Theory

...If you’re a pianist interested in learning music theory, you’re in luck. The piano and every other instrument featuring a keyboard is basically a perfect visual representation of the ideas and concepts that govern music theory. When instructors teach students music theory on other instruments, they typically use the piano’s keyboard as a visual guide that relates to their own instrument. But even with things being significantly easier on your instrument, piano music theory can be difficult to learn without guidance. In this article, we’ll step you through the world of music theory and how it relates to the piano. But first,... Read More

Piano Technique: The Importance of Good Playing Habits

...that long passages of notes are played with the same speed, feeling, and power. The right and left hand fingers are numbered in piano sheet music: Thumb=1 Index=2 Middle=3 Ring=4 Pinky=5   Beginners should start with a simple exercise to help promote finger strength and flexibility. Starting with their right hand 1 thumb on middle C and their left hand 5 pinky on the C an octave below, playing C-D-E-F-G with both hands moving in unison will help students learn proper fingering and finger independence. This exercise is a great introduction to scales, which require the memorization of fingering patterns ... Read More

Types of Clarinets

...small chamber ensembles, and rarely in orchestras.   Other Types of Clarinets In addition to the main types of clarinets, there are several other kinds. They are not as common, though, and most have become completely obsolete. It is very rare that you will hear any of these.   Piccolo Clarinet, D Clarinet, C Clarinet, Basset Clarinet, Basset Horn, Octo-Contrabass, etc.: These clarinets have varying degrees of use and popularity, but none of them are utilized as often as the more common clarinets listed above. With the exception of the octo-contrabass, none of these clarinets are pitched in Bb or Eb. That’s ... Read More

Types of Saxophones

...brass, there have been saxophones made out of plastic, polycarbonate, and even wood. This video demonstrates some of the rarest models.   Their Main Applications Each saxophone has its applications. In a traditional jazz big band, there are usually five saxophones: two altos, two tenors, and one baritone. Soprano is sometimes used as a double (in addition to flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, etc.). Since the instrument is relatively new, there isn’t a ton of classical repertoire for the saxophone. However, there are still plenty of twentieth century works for the saxophone, including solos, concertos, sonatas, etudes, etc.   The ... Read More

Celtic Harpist Anne Roos

...musicians, harp players or not, inspire your music? One of my favorite harpers of all time is Alan Stivell, because he constantly reinvents the way he plays the harp and how he arranges it with other instruments. As for other musicians that have inspired me, they include Victor Borge, Harpo Marx, and Liberace. You may laugh, but they were excellent performers as well as entertainers. They were charismatic. They brought many people to great music who would have otherwise not been exposed to it. I believe that to be a fine musician, it’s about more than just playing an instrument well. It’s about telling ... Read More

Review by Betsy J.

I started lessons with Elizabeth in person, but then we both moved to different parts of the country. I looked into finding someone local to help me with flute lessons, but few had the credentials and no one had the fun-power of Elizabeth. I could never imagine my flute journey with anyone but Elizabeth. Since music is a personal obstacle I am overcoming, Elizabeth makes learning fun, challenging, and incredibly enjoyable. I would highly recommend anyone of any age to seek out Elizabeth for flute lessons. She will meet you right where you are, encourage you, reasonably push you outside your comfort zone (which is huge), and most of all make the whole flute adventure fun. I decided I wanted to play the flute later in life. While I enjoy music, I have absolutely zero musical ability (can’t sing, no rhythm, etc.). Deciding to play the flute was akin to going on an Outward Bound trip which tests you outside your comfort level. At my age music was/is a huge challenge. I called the local music store for flute lessons and they paired me up with Elizabeth. The first lesson she literally had to show me how to put my flute together. And we have never looked back. She has been so supportive and encouraging and knowing exactly the right tactics to make this an enjoyable adventure. Elizabeth has a wealth of knowledge. I love to listen to her explain music. She has the ability to break it down to the most simple form. Her patience is incredible. Once a year she plays a duet with me and we make a recording of a song I have been working on (yes… owing to my lack of musical aptitude….sometimes it may take me a whole year to learn one song). She is always so patient to help me learn… and then we have this end-of-year celebration recorded to document the fruits of our labor. It makes me feel so good to have her support and see my improvements. Elizabeth is so encouraging. While she is light-years (and beyond) ahead of me in music, she is so encouraging and thoughtful and understands this does not come easy for me. I am so appreciative of her understanding that it may take multiple lessons to get just a few measures right. No judgement, no awkwardness. She will explain things over and over. Also….Elizabeth easily has the ability to help even the most advanced flutist. Her credentials speak for themselves and while she is way over-qualified to be helping me, she does so with patience, humor, and perseverance. While this is my big challenge in life, I must say playing my flute brings me great joy every day and I have Elizabeth to thank.

Review by Jessica

We are so lucky to have found Sophia as a flute teacher for our 9 year daughter. She is kind, patient and has extremely effective teaching methods. We do not play instruments, so it is wonderful to hear our daughter's flute playing progress. Sophia seems to have an infinite number of musical tricks that help our daughter get over hurdles and move on to her next step.

Took private lessons with Luis and saw both immediate and long term improvements in my technique, sound, and outlook on the music world. He's a really amazing, fun teacher, and I wish every teacher was a little more like him.
