My comments on tutoring Musical : 20 years playing and performance experience. Over 10 years teaching experience. Can teach all brass (trumpet, trombone, French horn, baritone/euphonium, tuba) as well as theory and composition.

I have over 20 years' playing and performance experience. While I am no longer an active performer on trumpet, I have over 10 years' teaching experience. In addition to performing well in their school bands, my students have received "Excellent" ratings in Solo & Ensemble competitions and have performed with MTSBOA All-County and Mid-State Honor Bands.
I believe in tailoring each lesson to each student's individual abilities and learning methods. For students in school bands, I try to provide lessons that augment and complement what they learn in band class, focusing on areas of performance that may not receive attention in a group setting. For all my students, regardless of level or instrument, I help them learn music that they want to learn, while making sure they get the fundamental training that they need. I encourage and assist my students in finding opportunities to perform ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My style of teaching is one that strives to bring an overall understanding of the importance and relevance of the subject at hand. I believe children, as well as all people, learn much better and have much greater retention when they understand the bigger picture involved and understand why it is important to learn the subject at hand. I believe in relating the topics to something the pupil can understand and therefore grasp. One of my greatest teachers was a chemistry professor who was able to explain a complicated chemistry concept in terms of a McDonald's Happy Meal. It was something we all could relate to and understand. Furthermore, if I can relate why learning the particular topic is important, then I believe the child will become excited and be much more apt to retain and retell the information to others. That is my ultimate goal; I want to get children of all ages excited a ... read more

I have tutored many years in Calif., but have not done so since arriving in Madison, TN. I have Canadian credentials, but the JD enabled me to quickly acquire a college position in Nashville. I taught English, which is my major from the University of Western Ontario, Canada. I know I am an excellent tutor, having taken several children from D's & F's to B's and A's. I have a reputation for being a lot of fun, as I play both guitar and piano and am quick to arrange little ditties to help kids remember rules - especially grammar and punctuation.
I am a fun teacher and enjoy tricking students into learning. I have developed games, songs, and various devices which attract attention and result in learning, regardless of whether the student even notices. I have a knack for revising sentences or instructions to captivate attention which encourages the student to answer or start writ ... read more

I have always had an interest in teaching. I graduated from college with my AA while working with the University of Michigan Department of Hospital Finance Training. From there I took some time off to finish my degrees. While going for my BA I worked with the VFW Ladies Auxiliary and was elected President of the Auxiliary and of the District. I am presently finishing up my MBA while working at Convergys as a Trainer for at&t material and presently being trained as a virtual trainer. I have assisted my daughter, my brother and several others over the years with their school work. I was always good in English and received A's.
I believe students will always be frustrated till they learn the material and if you make it interesting and related to them personally it tends to elivate the frustration and to feel more comfortable with the material. I am presently looking at obtaining my t ... read more

Teaching is a very holistic activity. I spent the last year and a half working with at-risk kids in a wilderness setting as a Counselor/Teacher. Essentially, I had 8-10 home-schooled children under my care in a therapeutic environment set up for experiential education. I quickly discovered that it is very hard to teach children without first understanding them as individuals. My goal as a tutor was and is not simply the transference of information but also the transference of self-confidence to children that, if cultivated, will last a lifetime and enable children to tackle any educational or life obstacle.
My college education was very self driven and self propelled. I received three academic scholarships throughout my college career and maintained a 3.84 GPA for the entire four years. At the close of my four years, I earned a BS is History, giving me a particularly good foundatio ... read more

I have always had a passion for educating children. I attended two different colleges and I value the experience and skills provided by both institutions. I spent two years at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, where I studied elementary education. I interned in a second grade classroom where I provided lesson plans and support to the head teacher. My favorite part of this experience was when I had the chance to sit with the children who were struggling and help them understand the subjects better. I also attended Berklee College of Music where I developed the skills to be able to teach private instruction in voice and piano.
I love to work with children because it allows me to use my creativity. I tend to use a more kinesethic, hands-on approach in my teaching. I believe that when children are able to have the subject matter displayed to them in a 3D format, they are ... read more

I have been a professional musician since 1978, teaching other musicians theory, performance etc. What can I say? I grew up in a music store! I've taught guitar, bass guitar, piano, drums and piano technology. Most of my students are now professional musicians. I don't use any techniques out of any book, each person is different and their needs are also.
My father had a piano rebuilding shop and I worked for him begining at age 12, in every aspect of piano rebuilding, regulating and tuning. Do I need to say more? Over 40 years of working on pianos is more than most piano tuners have. I don't use tuning machines, God already gave me 2 on each side of my head that work much better. I could write a long paragraph of blah blah trying to impress you but over 40 years of pianos says it all.

A Little Bit About Me...

Family & friends have expressed to me that my open-mindedness & clever & creative nature allow me to have an almost sixth sense-like intuition. Through the NCLB program, I put this theory to the test, & to be perfectly honest, I feel as if I lived up to this supposed “inherent capacity” to touch & better the lives of underprivileged, neglected, inner-city youth. As an educational activist, I REALLY, REALLY try to get & know each child on an individual basis. I want the child to become comfortable with me in their immediate environment: if a child cannot trust, respect, & admire his or her educator as a mentor, how can we truly expect the child to take his or her education seriously? Can we expect a progressive future if our children’s latent potential is never tapped into, & only remains dormant? I’m here to make that possibility less likely.
From an early age, growing up in a ... read more

Because I have an extensive background in Psychology, I have a strong understanding of the learning process, as well as many other factors that affect it. I focus on each individual child's strengths and use that to bring their weaknesses up to a higher level. Through patience and encouragement, I believe that most children can experience dramatic improvements in their abilities. I am able to explain complex ideas clearly, in simple terms that are understandable. Then I expand on what the child already understands until they have mastered the more advanced concepts. I greatly enjoy the excitement, challenge, and reward of enriching a child's life through education.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Southern Illinois University. This gives me a broad knowledge base in many educational arenas. I have tutoring experience with the program "Second Chance Saturdays" fo ... read more

Learning is a lifelong adventure in pursuit of truth. In following the example of Socrates, a teacher must realize that the wisest among us are those who are keenly aware of their own lack of knowledge. It is not a coincidence that eager learners make the best teachers. Because education is primarily concerned with the development of human beings, it cannot ignore the fundamental importance of personal relationships. I believe that an effective teacher must carefully analyze the personality, attitudes, and goals of students in order to better understand how to motivate and communicate with them. The most effective way to stimulate learning is not through providing more and more data, but rather by developing a personal and unique approach that reaches students where they are. A teacher should seek to follow the example of effective mentoring demonstrated by the great Teachers of the pas ... read more

I have 33 successful years experience as a guitarist/songwriter/publisher in Nashville. I was staff guitarist for Hee Haw and other TV shows.

I am currnetly touring the world with singer - songwriter Don McLean - who wrote and recorded AMERICAN PIE and VINCENT.
I teach in a personal, adaptive and responsive style. I listen first, identify the needs of the student and develop a one on one approach to raise their proficiency. My teaching style has been developed from my experience in volunteer literacy tutoring with Hispanic immigrants, and substitute teaching in Davidson and Williamson County Schools. I have always taught music and instrumental skills in the course of my career.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is based upon respect for the teacher and the children. I try to approach teaching not only as a key learning tool, but also how education affects our daily lives. My favorite approach is to connect whatever subject I'm teaching to current events. By doing this, I see that students understand the subject matter better. Also, I believe in discussing the material in a discussion type setting where everyone's opinion is heard, and the students can relate to the subject matter.
My experience as a teacher has been a life long passion. I was an early childhood education teacher for three years and taught the full gammet of subjects from mathematics, english, social studies, and so on. Not only that, I taught students from K-8 for the Metro-Nashville Public Schools in all subjects. My experience goes even further. As a Vacation Bible School teacher for three years at my ... read more
