A Little Bit About Me...

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 well as educational.
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 per ... read more

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

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.

I believe that the goal of education is to teach children that leaning can be fun and meaningful. I think that this can be done by making sure that the learning environment is rich with multiple resources for students. There should be manipulatives for math, and all learning should be hands-on and active to meet the needs of every type of learner in the classroom. I believe that the role of the teacher should be as a facilitator where the teacher acts like a mentor and guides learning. The teacher should be an expert in everything that is being taught but should expect the children to guide their own learning. A teacher should hold high expectations on their students and should always follow through on those expectations. I believe that students should be self-directed learners who are guided by the teacher. As long as there are many rich resources in the classroo ... read more

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children have the capacity to learn with patience, perseverance, and if appropriate methods are applied.

I admire teachers and I love teaching others. I believe that giving someone ability to learn also gives them the confidence they need to excel i life. I believe in teaching until I am certain that the student grasps the subject.

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