Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Fiddle Keyboard

My musical life has been extraordinary. Born in Mpls. MN, I attended the Aspen Musical Festival before my departure to Vienna Austria for Master studies in Violin/viola and piano. Scholarship intended for one year ended up a 25 year tenure, teaching, performing in Vienna and raising a family. I returned to the US to become executive director of a music school in MN. I was able to start new after school music programs for elementary schools throughout the district, start an orchestra program and open a theater program for kids. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Accordion Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Recorder Electric Violin Fiddle Double Bass French Horn Tuba Piccolo Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Oboe Bassoon English Horn Conga Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I began teaching private lessons in 1989. My focus is to understand what learning style my students have and base my teaching methods on their individual needs. In college I studied pedagogies (teaching methods) for band, orchestra and majored in vocal and classroom education. Since achieving my degree in teaching kindergarten through 12th grade education, I have worked in Preschool, Elementary, Middle School, and High School settings as well with the elderly. Read More

Byron D

Instruments: Violin Cello Viola

Ever since I met the great string teacher George Neikrug, I've been inspired to share all his knowledge about Dounis (the world's greatest string teacher). This information is the most exciting way to learn cello, violin, or viola. It's all about using your "native instincts" instead of conditioned reflexes. All the knowledge given me by this great teacher, plus the experience of playing concerts in Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and around the world with the world's best artists is mygreat joy to pass on.

Marissa E

Instruments: Violin Viola

I have been playing violin and viola for over fifteen years, and over the course of that time I have studied piano and theory as well. My piano background has helped immensely in teaching strings, and I highly recommend piano experience for any musician, though I don't require it. I have been teaching for over three years and have greatly enjoyed sharing my passion with students. A consistent practice schedule and help from parents is essential to the success of any musician, especially young musicians, and I highly encourage this. Read More

Chord Substitution

...with both A and E minor 7th chords. The notes in common between chords here are highlighted in red:     ii7 for V7 substitutions-   Composers and songwriters often toy around with substituting the dominant 7th chord with the ii7 chord of a major key. In the key of C major, the dominant 7th chord’s notes are G-B-D-F and the minor second’s are D-F-A-C. This substitution is a great way to subtly defy the listener’s expectations because of the strong and predictable relationship between the V and I chord:     Diminished 7th for Dominant 7th-   This chord substitution is a great way to deliver...

Piano Keys Chart for Beginner Piano Students

...a set of three. On the full keyboard this pattern repeats seven times, hence the seven octaves. Once you know the note names for the 12 keys shown above you’ve learned the entire keyboard!   Accidentals and Enharmonics You may have noticed that some notes have a b or a # next to the letter name. The b represents flat notes and the # represents sharp notes. Music moves in steps going up or down in pitch. When talking about steps, especially in relation to scales, we talk about half steps and whole steps. Sharps and flats raise or lower a note by ... Read More

Suzuki Performance: An Approach to Playing for an Audience

...blends with the idea of cars, hence the ‘highway’ concept.) Keeping your eyes on the Kreisler highway helps keep your bow from yawing sideways on the strings. It also keeps you from being distracted by the puppy trotting into the room, or a sibling using Legos in the corner of the teacher’s studio. Other tips your teacher may give you for a good Suzuki performance are along the lines of ‘practice until you can’t mess up.’ Will you get to do a dry run of your performance? Ask the teacher. If she doesn’t tell you this ahead of time, then you can ask: how ... Read More

Jazz Exercises for the Saxophone: Thinking in 12 Keys

...ears and some people rely more on logic. When I say “logic”, I mean specifically relying on thought more than on your ear. In the case of playing in 12 keys, that would usually mean thinking in terms of scale degrees (in the C scale C=1, D=2; in the F# scale F#=1, G#=2, etc.). In my opinion, it’s most effective to use a combination of both of these methods. People that rely too heavily on their ear can be extremely limited, as they haven’t learned about thinking in 12 keys. What happens when they have to play “Giant Steps” or “Cherokee” at quarter note = 300? Nobody’s mind ... Read More

Cremona Violins: Innovative and Artistic Instruments

...three exams every year, by the restorer and curator of the Stradivari Society. That way, the Society can assure both the lender and the borrower that the instrument has been kept in the best of care. And the number of famous musicians who have been a part of the program is quite impressive – Gil Shaham, Hilary Hahn, and Sarah Chang are just a few of the names on the list. Frequently, the musician who owns or plays the Cremona violin (or viola or cello) leaves his name with his instrument: the Ex-Gingold Stradivarius, for example, was played by Josef Gingold, ...

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.
