Rick D

Instruments: Guitar Voice

I have taught guitar throughout my career, working with beginners through advanced students, teaching both finger-style and flatpick techniques as well as why the chords fit together (music theory). I like to teach lessons that move step-by-step, with each lesson building on the one before, so that the student can see the improvement as they move ahead. I recently published the guitar instruction manual "Sounding Good on One Guitar". In college my singing won scholarships and awards where I helped singers develop character for their roles in opera productions. Read More

Instruments: Voice

As stated above, I have been teaching and coaching private voice for over 10 years.   I have been in demand as Vocal and Music Director for numerous community musical theatre productions.   I have enjoyed working with students age 8 to 78. I am well-versed in classical, musical theatre and popular repertoire.   The most important thing to note is that I believe there is ONE healthy and safe way to sing.  We just learn to color our sound to meet stylistic needs.

Instruments: Guitar Classical Guitar

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Even more than practicing every day, it is important that students practice with their mind engaged. This means paying attention to notations in the music, reminders we have written on the page for both exercises and songs, and all the myriad aspects of posture and technique that we address in lessons. Of course, practicing regularly and with high frequency will also help you develop quickly as well. It is also important that, as daily practice volume goes past roughly 90 minutes, the student splits up practicing time into 45-60 minute chunks in order to avoid burning themselves out both mentally and physically.

When will I start to see results?
This depends on how much time you spend practicing each practice session, and how frequent those practice sessions are. Beginner students should practice every day if they want to see consistent, tangible progress. The amount of time spent practicing will also effect how much progress is made, as well. A bare minimum length for a practice session would be roughly 30 minutes, to allow the student enough time to warm up with technical exercises before moving on to working on the specific technical and musical challenges of whatever songs they are currently learning. Those students wishing to see more dramatic progress, especially early on, should aim to practice 60 minutes or more every day.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My father plays the guitar as well. He had many classical guitar records that we listened to constantly when I was young. The guitarists we spent the most time listening to were Andres Segovia, Christopher Parkening, John Williams, and Julian Bream. They played a historical cross-section of music spanning genres from the 17th century all the way up to the 20th century, influenced by a variety of cultures. This music is what inspired me to pick up the classical guitar. I also love jazz music; we listened to jazz guitarists such as Joe Pass and Wes Montgomery constantly as well.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The illusion of continuous sound. Every time the instrument is plucked, the sound of any individual plucked note immediately diminishes. This is in contrast to a violinist or vocalist, to take two examples: both of those kinds of musicians can sustain a note, and even change its volume and tone as they sustain it. On the guitar, changing volume and tone can only be achieved over the course of playing several notes. Being able to change volume and tone in this way requires the student to address the issue as part of technical exercises I introduce or develop in lessons.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I currently have two degrees: a Bachelor's of Music, and a Master's of Music, both in Guitar Performance, both from the IU Jacobs School of Music. I am working towards a Doctor of Music in Guitar Performance at the same school. I have pursued performance degrees because it is my hope to pursue a career performing professionally in addition to teaching. As part of all three degrees, I have taken and am taking rigorous classes in music theory and history. I have studied Baroque music quite thoroughly in two separate courses and intend to study both 16th and 18th century counterpoint in the next two years as well.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have always been interested

Guitar Exercises Every Guitarist Should Practice

...first make an E-shaped bar chord and then strum the assigned strings. By the way, all bar chord shapes imitate 1st-position chords like E, Am, and A7. After you’ve played the E shape, play the Am and A7 shape. Repeat these steps down one fret until you reach the bottom of the fretboard. There are many other bar chord shapes to learn, but these three will help you get started. Once you’ve mastered these chords, try relaxing your left hand fingers to mute the strings. Muting is an essential skill for guitarists playing in the blues, rock, and jazz genres.       Major... Read More

Types of Effects Pedals for Guitar

...When we think of instruments, we usually conjure up images of guitars, pianos, and drum kits, but the innovative music currently being created with the help of effects pedals almost certainly ushers in the need to start viewing technology as a powerful instrument all by itself.

And, it’s especially helpful when you’re not familiar with the song or there’s a section of the song that you don’t remember. Bridges and Interludes are notorious surprises that can derail a song’s performance. However, this song doesn’t have a Bridge but does have an Interlude or Instrumental section. Fortunately, it’s the same 8-bar chord sequence as the other sections of the song.   ... Read More

...attached to the facade of the Met burst into color as an HD video of last season’s Philip Glass opera, Satyagraha, began. The sound system was superb. It felt as if the production’s leading tenor, Richard Croft, was there in the plaza rather than on a video recording taken nearly a year ago. The audience reacted with excitement as palpable as if it were opening night inside the grand opera house. This year marks the fourth anniversary of the Met’s free Summer HD Festival, a ten-day screening event featuring the company’s award-winning Live in HD opera productions. Last year, over 40,000 people were in attendance and it’s no wonder why: the laid-back ... Read More
