Hello! My name is Donovan, and I am an instructor who specializes in ear training and technique. Originally being a self-taught musician, I began with piano and harmonica, then eventually branched out to guitar, bass, banjo, among several others. I have ran sound equipment from an early age as well, learning how to set rigs for full bands and how to mix and master tracks for recording purposes. I have met and played with many famous and unfamous musicians, and find that the highest amount of talent is undiscovered and uncultivated. Read More

There are few things I love more than seeing a student's eyes light up when they're proud of what they have performed and accomplished! I try to help students set realistic goals that will make them feel happy and accomplished and let them move at their own pace. I view my studio as a warm place that students can feel safe in to explore their passion for music through their own voice. Read More

- As a foundation principle of the Functional Voice Method communication is essential. There should be a very open and honest dialog between teacher and student. You can, and I encourage my students to ask, propose and work together. - Because posture, movement and breathe have such a mutual influence; we usually need some work or excercise regarding the body (movements envolving legs, arms, walking, jumping and a large etcetera). - Having fun while training is extremely important to me.

There is no set method that works for each student. For young children that are just beginning, I like to start them with the Bastien Piano Basics or Piano Adventures series, but I will supplement these books with other material depending on the student's needs. I like to give beginner students little pieces that will help them understand the fundamentals of music in context so that they are still making music while they learn the basics - this keeps them from getting bored!

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Minimize distractions: It’s no surprise that your phone and computer can be big distractions if you leave them within arm’s reach during practice sessions. Put them where you can’t see or hear any notifications so you won’t be tempted to stop practicing to reply to a message “real quick” and end up going down a distraction rabbit hole.
Focus on quality: Start slow if you’re new to what you’re practicing so you can make sure you’re doing quality work, like landing one dance move well before moving onto the rest of the routine. Once you feel comfortable, increase your speed but don’t lose sight of the quality of your practice.
Divide your practice into sessions: Give yourself breaks in between practice sessions. Even professional athletes and performers take time between sessions to recharge so they can maintain the right quality level during practice.
Use your imagination: Run through your dance moves, speech, or piece of music in your imagination when you’re not physically practicing. This can actually help you improve since many skills have a heavy mental component.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
1. Does your child know the difference between left and right? Playing the piano requires the use of both hands, so being able to distinguish one hand from the other is an important skill.
2. Does your child know the alphabet, specifically the first seven letters (A-B-C-D-E-F-G)? The musical alphabet is made of seven letters. It is important for your child to be able to identify and name these letters in order to read music.
3. Can your child count to ten? With really young beginners (age 4-5), I focus on counting to four. The note values and time signatures in beginner music focus on one count, two counts, three counts, or four counts. However, it is ideal if a child can count to a higher number as music is heavily based in math. Distance between notes (intervals) rely on counting the number of notes that separate them. Even the basic scale patterns are mathematically based.
4. Can your child focus and pay attention for 30 minutes? All of my beginner lessons are 30 minutes in length. However, I usually reserve ten minutes of each lesson to do more hands on music activities, especially for really young beginners. As a result, I need students to be able to focus and pay attention for a minimum of 20 minutes.
5. Has your child expressed an interest in taking music lessons? Children who have expressed an interest in taking piano are more likely to be motivated to practice.
6. Can your child follow basic instructions? Your child needs to be able to follow simple instructions for practicing the assigned material.
7. How are the child's fine motor skills? Can your child hold a pencil or cut with scissors? Playing the piano requires a lot of fine motor dexterity, so having well tuned fine motor skills makes a huge difference.
8. Can your child read? Teaching piano to a child who can read makes a lot of things easier, including practicing more independently and reading practice instructions on their own. Plus, beginner piano music tends to have lyrics for the child to sing while they practice. Being able to read allows the child to sing the lyrics while they play which can increase their rhythmic accuracy and timing.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I was not a musician, I would be an Early Childhood Educator. Children are very important to me. I see so much potential in each child that I see. My passion is to make children follow their dream no matter what. I am the first person in my family to graduate from college. I believe that if it was not for the teachers that I had in elementary school, I would not be who I am today!
