I am based in Central/Western Michigan and have been teaching drums and percussion since 1993 in the areas of Concert, Marching, and Drumset. I began playing in middle school and have gone on to study music formally at Kellogg Community College and with many professional musicians. I have played professionally with many local bands in many styles (rock, jazz, big band, pop, punk, metal, musical theater). My teaching experience combined with my formal training and professional experiences will help you achieve your musical goals and will create a unique and fun environment for learning about drumming and how it works in different settings.

I am Aimee M., a driven mezzo-soprano pursuing my Bachelors in Choral Music Education and Vocal Performance at Western Michigan University. I have taught singing lessons for the past 5 years and have gained my experience mostly with the middle school to high school level. I do however, take students of all ages because I believe that there is no age limit to greatness. I am currently the choral director at Portage, Michigan, St. Michael Lutheran Church's Adult Choir and have been working with the group for the last year and a half. I enjoy working with singers of any skill level, novice to advanced, and feel that my expertise in singing will provide the tools and practices that a student would need to achieve their goals.

I was born and raised in west Michigan. I graduated from Grandville High School and then moved to Southern Alabama for college in 2005. I received my Bachelors in Music with an emphasis on Vocal Performance in the Spring of 2010.

I have always had a passion for singing since before I can remember. I co-wrote and produced music with my Uncle in Dallas, TX when I was in High School, and met with several record labels including; JIVE, RCA, Arista, etc.

I decided to take the classical music route after attending Interlochen Arts Camp in 2004. I studied opera and vocal performance at the University of South Alabama.

I was a part of the Mobile Opera Developing Artist Program for 4 years, where I performed in professional opera ensembles, concerts and special events.

I attended the Oberlin in Italy program in summer 2009, where I lived, studied, and performed in Arezzo, Italia.

I have recently returned to Mobile Opera as a guest artist in Candide and The Light in the...

Professional Music Instruction…except actually fun

I am a graduate of Calvin College with a degree in education. My classroom teaching includes places in Nigeria, New Mexico and Michigan. I started teaching piano lessons in my home about 25 years ago. During the school year, I am a teacher's assistant in the 4th grade. Children are precious to me and every day they surprise me with their fun and wisdom. In the summer, I enjoy gardening. In the evenings, I like to knit and crochet. Also, reading is another of my hobbies. Music has always been an important part of my life. My mother was a piano teacher and I took lessons from the time I was in first grade all the way through college. Music can bring so much happiness to people's lives and that is why I love to help other people to be able to play the piano and enjoy all kinds of music.

I graduated from the Academy of the Performing Arts in Prague where I received the Master of Arts in Violin Performance and Literature degree (M.M.), which is the terminal performance degree offered in the Czech Republic. Before completing my studies at the Academy, I studied violin at the Prague Conservatory of Music.
As a violinist I have a wide list of competition and performance credits, including first prizes at the Kocian International Violin Competition in Ústí nad Orlicí and the Beethoven’s International Solo and Chamber Competitions in Hradec nad Moravicí, in the Czech Republic.
A frequent soloist with the leading orchestras in my native country and abroad, I have performed with the Prague Symphony Orchestra, the West-Bohemian Symphony Orchestra, the Karlovy Vary Symphony Orchestra, the Moravian Philharmony, the Orquestra Sinfónica Simon Bolívar de Venezuela, and the Solisti di Praga Chamber Orchestra.
Since 1988 when I was chosen to represent the Czech...

I began playing piano 18 years ago when my parents finally gave in to my pleading to take lessons. I had several piano teachers throughout my childhood who all varied in their styles and techniques, but all used a relaxed, student driven approach, which is how I like to conduct my lessons. In high school, I began working as a rehearsal pianist for the Grand Rapids Ballet Company and continued to play for them for four years. I attended Aquinas College where piano and clarinet were my major instruments. I transferred to Western Michigan University to join their music therapy program and continued my studies in clarinet. Post college graduation I have held several accompanist positions and have performed in a number of four and eight piano concerts. I love playing piano and want to share that joy with others!

I grew up in a musical home, with two music teaching parents. I have continued their love of music through my own teaching and performance for over 25 years. I currently am furthering my own music education, while performing in community bands and theater musicals on both clarinet and piano.

I like to leave each student with a positive feeling of accomplishment, and try very hard to gauge how much and when to challenge or to chill. Individual, custom lessons are my forte. I would love to be by your side, creating music and not just playing notes.

I am guitar instructor experienced in teaching students of any age, beginner to intermediate. I studied music at Lansing Community College and teach classes or one on one. I am familiar with many styles of music and usually teach students interested in anything from pop to heavy metal.

Chris started taking drum lessons at the age of eight and hasn't stopped drumming since. From grade school until high school graduation he took drumset lessons from Mark Logsdon, a widely respected teacher, studio and touring artist. While attending college at Eastern Michigan University, Chris studied in the studio of John Dorsey. While his main focus is drumset and percussion, Chris is also extremely knowledgeable regarding music theory and composition, and has spent time playing piano, ukulele, and other instruments as well. Chris has spent extensive time gigging in jazz clubs, big bands, combos, and musical theater orchestra pits. He has also studied classical percussion extensively and has performed with many ensembles. He loves teaching, and has taught many drumlines, marching band pits, percussion ensembles, as well as numerous individual drumset and classical percussion students.

My name is Daniel B., I have been teaching students for many years. I have a masters degree in piano pedagogy from Michigan State University. Not only do I just play classical music, but I also play many other genres, and play for many musicals, as well as dueling piano shows. I can play by ear, or by sight, whichever is required for the gigs I pursue.
