Lauren G

Instruments: Piano Voice Clarinet

Sometimes, my students will spend a couple weeks on a song, and sometimes they will spend five months on a song. It is all dependent on what they need to succeed. Practicing is a major concept that I focus on and therefore provide every student with weekly practice sheets as well as written monthly progress reports to their parents. In lessons with me, there is nothing we can't do and that is what I strive to show my students every week. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Viola Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Music has always been a part of my life. I became involved in music, theater and dance at a young age, performing in countless professional productions. In my teens and early adulthood, I began writing and recording music and became involved in a number of recording projects that led me to teaching. I gave my first lesson over a decade ago and I continue to perform when I can. I graduated from Interlochen Arts Academy with concentrations in Theater and Music, and I worked for Women's Audio Mission in San Francisco. Read More

Rupali S

Instruments: Piano Voice

I started teaching my Sophomore Year while studying music in college and have loved it ever since. I enjoy finding out how my teaching methods can fit with one's personality and watching people grow throughout the years. I have kept students consistently for 2 years and each student is different and unique. Some of my students are doing certificate programs like ABRSM, while others are singing and playing piano simultaneously. Some of my students learn by ear and others are sight readers. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

Music has taken me to see places of the world I would have never been, music has given me some of the coolest jobs in my life. Playing organ for the San Jose Sharks NHL team was a dream come true, and I am still the youngest person to have held that job in the NHL. They still use all of my recordings. I went to the Virgin Islands last year to perform with a band on New Year's Eve, total paradise all to enjoy just for playing some music! Read More

Robert G

Instruments: Guitar Voice Ukulele Acoustic Guitar

Since my graduate degree days 25 years ago , I have been steadily teaching both as a private instructor, and in classroom situations... I'll confess that, while group lessons do foster an energy that can be exciting, the reality of dividing my teaching attention between multiple students is not quite as exciting at putting ALL my effort and attention int one private student! As a choir director, I not only have the opportunity to teach "voice," but "musicality," and I find that to be an highly satisfying experience! Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Lauren P

Instruments: Piano Voice

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Turn off everything else. Don't have a phone, tablet, computer, or TV near where you are practicing. I find that eliminating all distractions makes it easier to be more efficient with practicing. Set the specific time aside for practicing each day and during that time do nothing else. Also being prepared to practice before you start is important. Have water, a metronome, a pencil, and an eraser along with your music. This also help to keep the flow of practicing so that you don't have to stop and find things part way through.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
For Piano, I think the best way to determine if your child is ready for music lessons is to simply observe how he/she reacts to music, their interest level in instruments, and how often they engage in musical activities. I started piano at age 4, but many other musicians I have worked with started around age 6. That age makes it easier for the child to learn easy repertoire since their reading skills are starting to develop more. For Voice, never before puberty. If a child does start earlier than that, I would only do breathing exercises and the most basic of scales. Starting too early can cause serious harm to the voice in the long term.

When will I start to see results?
It all depends on the student. Some students will see results immediately, new things are learned, practiced, and improvement happens in what feels like overnight. Others will need more time to understand the music and progress. It all depends on the time put in to the practicing and if the practicing is done efficiently and correctly. For voice, it can also depend on vocal maturity. Younger students will see slower progress than more vocally mature students because of the vocal development. Techniques can improve, but the sound might not be completely different.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have multiple teachers who inspired me, but two in particular stand out. One was my Church Choir Director, Susan Garr. She worked with my from age 5 and always pushed me to be the best I could be. She inspired me to get into music at a young age and kept pushing me into music ever since then. She also knew when to be real with me about my goals and aspirations. She didn't want me going into the world of performance blindly. The other was Curt Peters, my current voice teacher. He has pushed my voice to a place I never knew it would reached and has been very supportive and critical at times. He has made sure to keep my passion alive even when I would sometimes question it.

Or, you could present something that leads the listener in a certain direction and then surprise them with a first verse that sounds completely different. Get creative with your intros, but don’t just add something because you think you have to.   Bridges are excellent explaining sections. They bring the music to new, unexpected places and they serve as devices that move the lyrical content along. Bridges can serve as excellent connecting sections that link verses and choruses (or vice versa) with new blood, renewed energy, and fresh instrumentation. If you like your song, but ... Read More
