Sterling Music

Introduction: I am based in El Cerrito, CA 94530. I am overall a teacher of Musicianship (understanding Music Theory, Ear Training, and the ability to Singing and Sight Reading). I have a natural tendency to lean toward teaching the reading of sheet music. I have a fun and simple way I start with an educational goal and and break it down into easily manageable parts. I.e. Sight Reading: the ability to know how to read and play music that the musician has not seen before. Break it down into understanding all of the bits of information in the sheet music: Signatures; Key & Time, Tempo, Rhythm & Road Map, Accidentals and Did you miss anything? -Dynamics -Phrasing -Key Changes, etc. I teach Brass instruments (Trumpet, Trombone and Tuba). I have published three books that are currently available on Amazon: Elementary Bugler (Bb Trumpet), Elementary Tenor Bugler (Trombone) & Elementary Bass Bugler (Tuba). I also teach Piano, Flute and Cello. The best part of my job is when a student "gets it". When s/he is able to do and apply what s/he has learned to his/her own work. Basically, a student-Musician takes lessons to get challenged, learn and grow, then in School Band or Orchestra, s/he gets assessed.
