Lauren Wasynczuk - Saxophonist, Conductor & Music Educator

At the core of my teaching philosophy lies the belief that teaching and learning go hand in hand and that effective teaching depends on successful communication between teacher and student. A music lesson is a collaborative effort. Not only does a student hopefully learn in his or her lessons, the teacher learns from the students! My teaching “techniques” are solutions – born from the need to solve a specific challenge with any particular student. In the teaching process itself, putting myself in the student’s shoes allows me to consistently find solutions that work for each individual student and grow as a music teacher. In order to generate collaboration in a lesson, I believe in creating an atmosphere that encourages participation and involvement. My goal is to motivate and challenge my students and help them to enjoy the music they play. A motivated student assumes responsibility an ... read more

I have been teaching private music lessons for over 3 years and have taught many students ages 5 through adult. I teach saxophone to the advanced level and beginning piano and clarinet. I can also tutor and teach music theory, music history, world music, and composition. My speciality is jazz and improvisation. I love teaching and playing music and will take on any student that wants to learn. I have a M.A in Music and much performance experience.
I teach lessons tailored to the individual student's needs. I use a variety of books and my own supplemental materials, and also include listening in lessons. In every lesson I focus on warm ups, technique, sight reading, and performance repertoire. I am very open to having the student bring in songs they want to learn or work on specific things they are interested in. I always try to make the lessons as fun and enjoyable as possible, as ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In terms of my teaching style, I greatly believe in positive reinforcement. I love working with all children, and find it rewarding when I’m able to help them understand and excel in a particular area or subject. I love to motivate my students, and continually stress the importance of interactive learning and practicing of methods. I also stress the importance of an alternative solution or way to approach a problem to better ingrain methodology and study techniques. I love sharing knowledge, and continually motivate my students with an enthusiastic and patient demeanor to be lifelong learners and teachers themselves as well.
As a top-ranked liberal arts college graduate, I have always valued education. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music and Religious Studies, which has enabled my writing, reading, and analytical skills to flourish. I have written multiple research papers and ... read more

I have an extensive educational background in instructing and teaching students in grades K-12. With work experience in public, private, homeschool, and charter school settings, I have acquired the ability to coordinate scholastic lesson plans and promote student achievement by recognizing an individual's personal learning style and adapting my teaching style accordingly. I am able to teach and tutor in multiple subjects; however, my preferred student age group is elementary education.
Helping children to learn to the best of their ability is so rewarding to me! I have a natural rapport with students. They sense that I am genuinely interested in assisting them to achieve academic success. My personality is one that nurtures and encourages.

I will teach the student the most productive way to practice by using the technique I learned by professors and professional musici ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

The student's needs come first, so I always teach based on their long-term goals. Learning music should be fun, so I encourage this while pushing student's to be the best. Music has been the most important thing in my life for all my life. I love to bring that passion out in my students. Flute is a tool, a wonderful tool, for speaking the language of music.
I am a working, free-lance flutist here in LA. I have my BM degree in flute performance from CSUN, and have been playing for 28 years. I have always been the top or one of the top players in all venues I have played for. I currently play for many orchestras in southern california. I have been teaching all levels of flute for 20 years now. I also teach beginning to intermediate piano. Over a span of nearly 30 years, I have studied with some amazing flutists/teachers, and learned some wonderful teaching techniques.

My first student teaching experience was in a preschool. The classroom was very play based and not very structured. I learned how to communicate with the students while they were playing and was able to help them learn through scaffolding I learned how to model positive behaviors to the children and stay away from the negative. I student taught in a preschool classroom. This classroom was inclusive and included many different kinds of learners. There were ten gifted children, two children with autism, one child with epilepsy, and the rest who were at benchmark. This was a great experience because I was placed with such an incredible seasoned mentor teacher. She taught me that being calm kept the children calm. I learned exactly how to plan, attended meetings, and really got a feel for the teaching profession. The lessons that I planned had to suit many different learning styles, so many ... read more
