Saxophone Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in San Clemente, CA

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

I like to give practical examples and modern day analogies. I like to keep learning fun, no matter what the age. A man once told me when I was purchasing a seat for my bicycle, "You should get the most comfortable seat, because you a lot more likely to ride longer." After he gave me that advise, and I bought a comfortable seat, I rode 22 miles the first time out. I don't want somebody to be quick to stop learning, because it's not comfortable, so we do what we can to make it fun! I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management with a concentration in Marketing. I am a skilled Graphic Designer by trade. In school, I loved and excelled in many areas, especially Math. I enjoy teaching and learning! I'm a life-long student and have fun acquiring knowledge. I hope this same attitude is contagious, for when you see learning as something that enriches your life, then the mind will serve you b

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. When a student of mine masters a subject or overcomes a learning challenge, I truly am overjoyed. My positive spirit and sincere desire to motivate and inspire students entrusted to my care has been appreciated by both students, teachers, and parents alike. 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

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 labor

I evaluate the student and see where he/she stands and move forward in progressing their skill. Every instrument is different and difficult in its own way. I will teach the student the most productive way to practice by using the technique I learned by professors and professional musicians. For trumpet, I work on the embochure, and breathing. For violin, I evaluate the way the student holds the instrument including posture. I use a special tape to help guide with the notes which I use as training wheels, and take them down one at a time as the student progresses. The student learns at his/her pace and will vary by the amount of practice he/she puts into it. In 1997 I was a teacher assistant for the Huntington Park High School music department. I ran rehearsals with the marching band, jazz band, jazz choir, beginning orchestra, and beginning band. In April of 2000 I started workin

As a visual learner and instructor, I believe the best way for children to retain information is by breaking down the task itself and visualizing it in stages/phases. Often times children feel overwhelmed by the countless lessons taught inside the classroom, resulting in defeated attitudes and poor grades. With the right learning fundamentals, children can attack their assignments with confidence and ease. I speak from experience as I was an elementary parent's nightmare. I consistently had trouble with mathematics and reading comprehension, and spent several hours a night having assignments read to me. I recently earned a Master's Degree in Communication Management with an emphasis in Branding and Marketing Communications. In the two years it took to complete my degree, I commuted from San Diego to Los Angeles several times a week, interned for various companies, served as a brandi
