Matthew F

Instruments: Voice

For younger students, I tend to focus on the production of breath and basic sounds as they begin to grow into their body. This is to ensure that the baseline technique is there as they find how their instrument, the voice, is growing into their developing selves. For adult students of any technique, I prefer to start with basic vocal exercises to test the agility and flexibility of the voice so that I have an understanding of how their matured voice functions.

Laura K

Instruments: Piano Voice

It is important for both me and my student to have long-term and short-term goals. Long-term goals may have to do with technique--for voice, examples may be releasing tension or singing with proper breath support. Short term goals are more linked to repertoire and can be technical or musical. An example on the piano may be playing through a piece with a particular metronome marking. I have each of my students use a practice log so both the student and I can keep track of short-term goals. Read More

Margaret Y

Instruments: Piano Voice

I received a Master’s degree in Music from the Boyer College of Music in Philadelphia, PA in 2015 for Vocal Performance. Before that, I graduated from the National Music Academy of Ukraine named after P.I. Tchaikovsky in Kiev in 2013, where I received a Bachelor in Music, took parts in a lot of operas ("Le nozze di Figaro", "Eugene Onegin", "Faust") and also earned a certificate of teaching. While at the Kiev Institute of Music, I took part in different international music competitions, and performed concerts and operas. Read More

Amanda L

Instruments: Piano Voice

I began teaching my sophomore year of college teaching a beginner class aimed at teaching 5-8 year olds the foundations of music in a fun and interesting way. Soon after, I started teaching private piano and voice lessons to students age 8-18 as well as directing performance program shows. I have found that letting students pick their own material to work on helps keep them motivated and interested. Teaching music through song instead of teaching music and then song helps students connect the dots as well as making it more fun! Read More

Erin C

Instruments: Piano Voice Music

My teaching experience all started 2 and a half years ago when I first began teaching voice and piano in my home studio, working primarily with younger students. After some time teaching at home, I began to work at music studios and had the experience to teach students of all ages and see them progress and develop their technique. My experiences in teaching one-on-one lessons have allowed me to identify a student's strengths and weaknesses, as well as their interests, likes, and dislikes, right away and help take their talents to the best of their abilities.

Personally, Im a very upbeat, fun person so I like my lessons to be too. While singing might be difficult at times, I make sure my lessons are full of passion and fun! I like to work with the students and here their input. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Kathryn R

Instruments: Piano Voice Flute

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance, Bachelor of Arts in Music Theory & History, and Master of Music in Vocal Performance.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to performance the role of Anne in "The Rake's Progress" by Stravinsky. It is one of the most beautiful 20th century operas I know.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I have a long lost uncle who is a renowned violist. I didn't discover him until a few years ago and was overjoyed to have him in my life as he is the only other professional musician in my family!

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be a veterinarian. I love animals and, strangely, always planned on being a veterinarian in spite of my studying music as a child. It wasn't until my senior year of high school that I realized I could pursue music for a living and I haven't looked back.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I've been playing music since I was a small child, but one teacher in particular that inspired me to pursue collegiate and graduate education in music was my high school band and choral director. He was so committed to his students and always gave 100% no matter what he did. It was so fun and beneficial working with him during those years and he really expanded my love for music.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I believe the hardest thing to master on any instrument is an awareness of how far one has come and allowing oneself to celebrate that! Sometimes, we get caught up in always trying to improve and we lose sight of how much we've already learned. I think it is so important to celebrate tiny victories and be kind to oneself at all stages of musicianship. We're never done learning so enjoy the process!

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Knowing whether a child is ready for lessons depends on many things, not least of all physical development (I.e. can they hold the flute upright?). Has your child expressed a desire to learn an instrument? Do they seem excited about it? Do they understand that practice is vital to learning new skills? If so, I encourage jumping in! Even if your child has some questions or hesitations, I recommend trying lessons out and keeping an open dialogue with them as lessons progress to make sure they are still invested emotionally and mentally and are not only continuing to learn but are having fun!

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
When learning a new skill or a new song, I highly recommend approaching it in short and frequent sessions. Consistency has proven more valuable than, say, practicing once or twice for a long time and not reviewing the new skills for 4-5 days at a time. Most especially with younger students, I encourage parents to start with shorter times of 10-15 minute sessions, once or twice a day, and move up from there.

Easy Piano Songs: 5 Songs with Simple Chords

...are easy piano songs. “Oh Darling” is a terrific song that beginner piano students won’t have a difficult time learning. This song plays homage to American blues music, and the piano features a short staccato treatment with simple chord transitions played over a medium-paced 12/8 rhythm. The E+ chord you see at the beginning of the song is an E Augmented chord (E-G#-B#). Augmented chords tend to sound odd and even a bit jarring. This song is a blast to learn and will most likely get stuck in your head for the next few months. Enjoy!     [Verse] E+ A E Oh___... Read More

Principles of Basic Rock Drum Beats, Part 2

...a rhythm common to traditional Middle Eastern drumming, as well as to a lot of contemporary electronic dance music and hip hop, usually at a pretty fast clip in both cases: If we add a bass drum stroke under the delayed backbeat, it begins perhaps to take on a bit of a Latin feel:   In some (mostly older) funk music, we hear the fourth beat (or second backbeat) delayed instead.   And back to Latin feels, here is an interesting example of a derivation from a Brazilian beat, the bossa nova. The snare plays what is known as a ‘clave’ rhythm- more on that in a ... Read More

Paul McCartney wrote the song and performed the vocals, and it rose to #6 on the Billboard Hot 100.   Many people think that the “Mother Mary” reference in the song refers to the Biblical Virgin Mary, but McCartney has clarified that the “Mary” refers to his own mother, who passed away from cancer when Paul was a teenager. The title words, “Let It Be,” are inspired by actual words from his mother as well, rather than ... Read More

...processes external information that fast. People that rely too heavily on logic can also be limited. I worked with a bass player once who stuck completely to reading the chart. If the singer came in after four bars of interlude when it was supposed to be eight, the bass player would be off for the rest of the chart. Remember, music is an aural art. Ideally, you should employ a healthy mix of using logic and using your ear so that you can succeed in both playing and thinking in 12 keys. The past couple of blogs have probably been pretty dry. The exercises in this blog will ... Read More

...the Kodály approach, and most elementary music pedagogical approaches. If you walk into a music classroom, there are times where it may seem chaotic or unfocused to the naked eye. So much learning takes place in ways that don’t feel like learning to students, which is the basis of their appeal. Take for example, a game many children play inside and outside of the music classroom, “Ring Around the Rosie.” There are so many reasons to play this game, and not always for inherently musical reasons. First and foremost, making a circle can be tricky. When it’s time to move ... Read More

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. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
