Menjalah T

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola

Music is part of my life. Play my violin is my true passion. Four years ago I discovered that I also have the ability to teach everything I have learned throughout my 13 years in the music industry to other people. Nowadays, I am studying at the University of Tampa the Music Performance Major. I am planing to get also a degree in Music productions and International Business in the future. Read More

Brian S

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Electric Violin Fiddle Double Bass

I believe each student is different. Therefor, lessons should differ depending on each students particular needs, taste in music, and age. I would never treat an adult student like I would a young student and vice versa. I always try to set weekly goals with each of my students in order for them to have something to work towards on a consistent basis. If my students don't reach their weekly goal I simply have a little bit of a review with them in the beginning of the lesson and then proceed with that weeks work. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Fiddle Double Bass Music Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For violin, viola, cello and bass, I teach the Suzuki method. The Suzuki method is based strongly on memory and takes a systematic approach to introducing music of increasing difficulty. For classical guitar, I start off with the Frederick Noad system, "Solo Guitar Playing", and scales. As skill level increases, I assign more etudes and standard guitar repertoire. For acoustic guitar, I teach almost exclusively finger-picking. I teach the same high standard skills for acoustic guitar that I teach for classical, but concentrate on masterpieces of the repertoire. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Flute Piccolo

My teaching style really focuses around developing a love for your instrument. If the student loves their instrument and the music that is written for their instrument, they will feel encouraged to practice. I try to pick up on the student's personality and learning styles and make each person's lesson a combination of my teaching styles and what works best for the student. Once we find the routine and groove that works for the both the student and myself, then the learning should come along easily and fun. Read More

Nicholas L

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola

My main goal in teaching music is to build a good foundation. Not all music students will go on to major in music, and that's OK. Music offers invaluable experiences for everybody involved, and I have seen music change lives. There is a lot of evidence that music helps in school performance and test taking, and there is evidence that music helps to build organizational and critical thinking skills. I like to build a positive relationship with my students, and I encourage progress in order to make students eager to learn more. Read More

Instruments: Violin Viola Electric Violin Music

Uruguay, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, among others. They have used the orchestral practice to rescue the childhood, abandoned youth, poverty, and to build and peace zone. At the same time, I can mention cases such as that of Maestro Gustavo Dudamel, who was my student in Venezuela, who was raised in a precarious social and economic context. Today he is one of the most outstanding musicians and orchestral conductors at an international level. 3- My philosophy is “To Play and To Fight”, tight to the wish of “to be” through music.

Trevor M

Instruments: Violin Viola

I have even taught adults in their fifties and sixties who want to pick up their instrument after a long absence. I take great pride in being a teacher, and few things bring me more joy than seeing a student succeed or say "Oh, now I get it!" in a music lesson. Whether I'm preparing a student for a college audition, a recital, or even just to play "Mary Had a Little Lamb" for mom and dad, every student is important to me, and every lesson is tailored to each individual students' needs.

Teacher In Spotlight

Marcello C

Instruments: Piano Drums Latin Percussion

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I first went to the Conservatory of Naples (IT) and studied classical percussion during high school. After that, at 18 I moved to Amsterdam and got my Bachelor (skipping one year) in Jazz Drums. Thereafter I got also my Master degree in Amsterdam, during which I did an exchange of a semester at The New School in New York. After that, in 2020 I started my second Master degree at Manhattan School of Music in New York, which I completed and graduated in May 2022 with 4.0 GPA.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Patience. Playing drums, or trying to master any kind of art, is not only about the instrument/art. It's really a spiritual process of your whole life.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My father plays drums as a hobby so when I was a little kid I used to watch him play at the house and after few years of life I asked him to buy me a drumset

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I've played with some of the best musicians in the world. In Amsterdam I played in the Big Band with John Clayton, Bob Mintzer and Vince Mendoza, to name a few. Those where beautiful experiences. However I think the best is yet to come.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I started playing drums at a very young age, I was about 5 or 4, watching my father. So my father was my first drums teacher, and of course we didn't ahave a conventional teacher-student relationship. My first real teacher was Maurizio Saggiomo. I went to him at 12 and I stayed for about 4 years. He's of course the one who gave me the most. I'm very thankful to him and the way he taught me, I learned a lot not only about the drums but also about life and teaching. Then of course I had a lot of teachers in my life and everyone of them was very impactful in different ways.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There is no requirement one must have to start taking lessons. Every level, age or background is a good place to start. It just takes a good teacher to be able to understand the student, their learning patterns and allow the blossoming of their musicianship.

When will I start to see results?
I believe the more quality time one puts in it, the sooner the results will manifest. Don't rush the process, there are no shortcuts, just focus when you practice and you'll see you're going to get a lot out of it.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My advice to practice effectively is: practice slow and focused! Most of the time practicing is just a matter of allowing your brain and your body to match their speed, so to speak.

“Iris” - Goo Goo Dolls

...Easy Guitar Chords Arranged for Beginners   American alternative rock band, the Goo Goo Dolls, originally recorded “Iris” for the soundtrack of 1998 film City of Angels, the song was later included on the band’s sixth album Dizzy Up the Girl. The song has contributed greatly to the band’s success. Iris chords feature an unusual guitar tuning in which most of the strings are tuned to D, giving the guitar a chorus-like effect. It also has an unusual time feel switching between 4 and 3.   “Iris” has become one of the biggest rock hits from the 90s and it’s also one of... Read More

...chord of all. It is also perfectly suited to playing with the previously mentioned G major chord. The Em chord is played by placing your index finger on the A string, second fret and your middle finger on the D string, second fret. The rest of the strings are allowed to ring out open.     Popular songs such as “Livin’ on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi and “Purple Haze” by Jimi Hendrix are played in the key of Em. This is the easiest guitar key to play in, as all of the open notes on the instrument fall within the key.   C Major (Cmaj) ... Read More

Dealing with Frustration when Studying Music

...you are getting the most out of your music lessons.   Play Slowly One of the most common mistakes that beginner students make is trying to play songs too quickly. When you are first learning a new piece, play it slowly. Very slowly. Take the time to understand the proportional differences between each note. For instance, if you need to stretch a whole note out to last a full two seconds so that you can play a passage of 16th notes in proper time, do so. Using a metronome can help this process as it will keep your tempo steady. Don’t rush through music, as it’s only going to ... Read More

The Accordion: Bluegrass Music's Forgotten Instrument

...Bluegrass is a music with a long and storied history, starting with the first immigrants to settle in the Appalachian mountains. An aspect of that history that is being explored more and more frequently, as modern bands seek to expand the sound to its fullest, is the use of the accordion. This use of the accordion is not due to modern musicians looking to experiment just for the sake of experimenting. The first Bluegrass band, Bill Monroe and The Blue Grass Boys, had an accordion player in their band during early iterations of their group, but settled on not having one just before ... Read More

The Best Age to Start Drum Lessons

...while at the same time an eight year old who is small for their age could still have issues. Another issue is that of the maturity of the student – again, a mature six year old may be perfectly suited to start drum lessons. The other factor to consider is the student’s academic skills. There is a lot of work that goes into learning the drums beyond the physical end of things. The student should be able to learn how to read sheet music while also developing all of the techniques of rhythm and counting. Musical notation for drums and percussion is different than that for tonal instruments, so for some younger students, this can prove to be slightly difficult. ... Read More
