Janet N

Instruments: Piano Voice

I am a performer, music teacher and accompanist who loves working with children and adults of all levels and ages. I believes music is not only an essential asset to a child's development, but it's fun. I received my Doctorate of Musical Arts degree in Piano Performance from Arizona State University in 2009 and has given solo and collaborative performances throughout the U.S. and abroad, including Chile, Argentina, Italy, New York, Ohio, and Arizona since 1986.

Megan G

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Clarinet

I like to have a balance in my lessons between fun and challenge.  I do this by setting realistic goals each week for my students, dependent on their level of perfomance and the pace that they are progressing.  Not everyone will progress at the same pace, and I feel that it is more important for a student to master a particular lesson than to move quickly through the lesson book.

Lori W

Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard

I structure my lessons so that each student knows exactly what to expect each week. We begin with Warmups, Scales, Technique, Sight-reading in piano and/or voice. Then we move onto the literature, checking posture for both Voice and Piano. We recap, at the end of each lesson, so that any questions may be answered. We set goals for rehearsals, memorization, study requirements. I record vocal exercises, or accompaniment tracks for the student so that they are able to practice more efficiently. Read More

Lauren T

Instruments: Piano Voice

Through experience, I have specialized in teaching to the students needs. I believe that students should be involved in setting goals and deciding what direction their lessons will take. I carefully plan my lessons, but am comfortable with completely altering the lesson plan in order to address what the student really needs that day. My philosophy is that the lesson is for the student and so it must be meaningful to them. Read More

Gerry D

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Harmonica Lap Steel Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Recorder Conga Latin Percussion

I write all my own lesson materials focusing on what the student needs to know to play, understand, and enjoy music to achieve their goals. I have used several method books in the past but find them all limited or focused on styles or technique that is not what the student wants or needs to learn. I can teach from any established method if that is preferred, but instead enjoy challenging the student to understand what music is and how music is played on their chosen instrument, not just to read.

Teacher In Spotlight

Kerysa F

Instruments: Voice Recorder

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was mostly a gradual decision, however at one point in my teenage years I was determined to not study music in college! I wanted it to stay a hobby, but my love for it won and I ended up studying music and never regretted it.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes! My Grandmother was a singer, organist, pianist, voice teacher and choral director. She loved to do it all! She was my first teacher and inspired my love of music. My father and his siblings all sing, though not professionally, and my mother sings and was two rock bands in the 1990s.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
My second is piano. I began lessons at a young age, but was never very dedicated. In college it became a necessity to learn and I wished I have done more as a child! I have since fallen in love with piano and continue to practice regularly. I consider the recorder my third instrument and although I played it in third grade enough to annoy my dogs, cats, and parents, I picked up a method book later in life and found the fun of playing more complex pieces and looking into Baroque literature.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I begin with a thorough warm up, usually lasting for 30-45 minutes. I then choose one of my easier, more polished pieces and sing through it before continuing on to new and more difficult literature. I am a believer in warm ups and vocal health, so I try not to push my voice beyond what it is ready for at the time, taking my warm ups slow and thoroughly.

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 B.S. in Music Performance and a Master of Music Performance. Initially I began in Music Education, however I found my love of working one-on-one with students, or in small groups, and the performance track was more suited to teaching studio lessons. I also love performing and the opportunities the degrees held for polishing skills in languages, vocal repertoire, and performing in general.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I have always loved Strauss's "Four Last Songs" for their beautiful melodic lines, rich accompaniment, and deep subject matter. My personal favorite performer of this work is Dame Kiri Te Kanawa.

When will I start to see results?
Results come with regular lessons and practice. Lessons are only as effective as a student is willing to put in time to practice. Children tend to learn fast, adults tend to have more established habits, however there is no set amount of time it takes to see results. It depends on the individual person. Results will never happen overnight, much as we would all love!

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I think it chose me, rather than me choosing it. I could sing from a young age and it was a huge part of my life as a child and teenager. It seemed natural to continue studying and ultimately make it my career.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Patience! Music takes time and dedication, and unfortunately there is no magic wand to make it happen instantly. I personally have to remind myself to slow down and concentrate on difficult sections of the music instead of just whizzing through it and saying, "good enough."

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always warm up sufficiently and take breaks to stretch, take a short walk (even just around the house), re-warm up, drink water, or whatever you feel your needs are.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The first sign is an expressed interest in music! It's always a more positive experience for student, parent, and teacher if the child wants to be there. For success in lessons, it is important that a child be able to listen and comprehend basic instructions.

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.
