The type of material we can cover is very broad including scales, arpeggios, chords, chord construction, music theory, music reading, songwriting, learning songs, technique, etc... However it's very important to me to not teach material the student is uninterested in. Music is a language and every genre has its own language aside from music as a whole. For Example: If a student wants to learn how to play bluegrass I will not waste time teaching them Jazz oriented chord voicings, bebop phrasing, and other jazz oriented things. Read More
I am a very passionate music teacher, it's really who I am. I thrive off of opening the doors of music to people new to playing an instrument and teaching them a foundation upon which to grow. I graduated from UMASS Lowell with a Bachelors in Music Performancein 2014 and have 9 years of teaching experience in and around the Boston area. I play and manage a band called Skyfoot and have for about 6 years now. Read More

I have been playing trumpet and guitar for over 40 years. Currently I am performing jazz standards at local venues in the Boulder / Longmont area. I play and loop together guitar, keyboards, trumpet, and flugelhorn. I have also authored the book Build Your Chops: Technical Studies for Jazz Improvisation. Read More
I started teaching right after I graduated from Berklee. I have worked in studios , but have been self employed for the most part. It’s very rewarding and creative that way. I have played 3, 000 performances in my career, which gives me a unique perspective on teaching. I have run rock camps as well. I prepped the singers, drums, bass, keyboards, and guitar players. They had a concert for the parents at the end of the camp. Read More
I began my guitar studies at the age of 12. A contemporary of the Tarrega School, I have taught and performed regularly as both soloist and ensemblist throughout my career. In 2012, I earned my Bachelors Degree in music performance from the University of Nebraska Omaha while studying with classical guitarist Hadley Heavin. Upon graduation, I was awarded scholarship and teaching assistantship to attend the Lamont School of Music where I am currently finalizing my Masters of Music Performance. Read More

I like to be 100% transparent at all times; I do not have as much teaching experience as other instructors might have. However, I've taught an array of different styles in my time teaching. In the past, many of my students have been experienced players in local bands reaching out because they liked my playing style and wanted a few pointers. Others have been people just wanting to get a better understanding of musical theory and musical site reading & writing. Read More
I am a guitar player specializing in rock, funk and jazz fusion. Born and raised in Atlanta, I moved to Boston to attend Berklee College of Music. I spent several years touring the country with my band Mister F, who played well over 100 shows per year. I have been invited to play with blues/soul icon Robert Randolph, smooth jazz artist Earl Klugh, bands such as Twiddle, Aqueous and Mungion, as well as members of bands including Dopapod and Kung Fu.

I love to perform anything by Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald. My dream would be to perform and sing along with a 20 piece big band, just like singers did in the 30's, 40's, and 50's!
Guitar Classes Near Me
A normal practice session for me starts with about 10 minutes of vocal warmup, 5 minutes of piano scales and drills, running through a couple instrumental piano pieces, and then practicing 4-5 cover songs with charts- either singing and playing piano or guitar. I am a songwriter, so practicing my originals for my live performances is a weekly practice, usually lasting anywhere from 1-3 hours. I like to practice with my microphone and instruments plugged in, so I can hear the nuances in my voice and also focus on dynamics.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I love to use Alfred's books for piano and guitar instruction. The sheet music is clear and slightly larger, and the songs are fun and cute for little ones!
Piano Lessons For Kids & Adults. Denver Keyboard Teacher
Confidence! Only you can discover how to apply your confidence, in practice and in performance. Teachers can guide you, but only you know how to express yourself genuinely!
I was a top 12 contestant on Season 9 of American Idol. I loved living in LA and being a part of the TV and film circuit, and getting to perform on TV for millions of people every night!!
How much you practice reflects the quality of your results. Instruments can be very difficult to learn at first, and most children get discouraged easily by not being able to perform one song for family. I always try to get my students to have 1-3 memorized songs/pieces after a handful of lessons, so they can easily call on what they have learned when friends or family ask if they know how to play anything!
Calvin Graves, Guitar Teacher
Every child is different, and ready at different ages. I've started a two year old boy on piano, but that was because he was showing such great interest in his piano that his parents knew lessons would be worth it! Some three year olds are very comfortable around an adult for a 30 minute lesson, others are not quite there. If your child is showing an interest in their musical toys/instruments daily, you should definitely try a few lessons to see if it sparks their interest even more!
I like to push kids to practice for 5-10 minutes a day. If they go longer, great! Pressuring a child into a 30 minute daily practice can sometimes discourage them completely because of the overwhelm to guide themselves for such a long period of time. Especially if they are not comfortable playing around family, or aren't confident in the piece they are currently learning. Small, daily efforts are much more effective than a big chunk of practice time once or twice a week. Try to run through your assigned song once every day and you will start to see improvement immediately!
I love to pick a mood for a practice. If I select jazz, I would work on subtle vocal dynamics and emotion, and practice challenging jazz chords. If I choose country, I will focus on rhythm with guitar, and swing with vocal. If I choose Pop/Rock, I'll focus on vocal power and breath control, diction, and stage presence.
New Guitar Teachers At West Colfax Academy!
I started with piano when I was 4, and eventually hit a plateau with book instruction and recitals. I then switched to guitar at 12, performing solo live and playing in bands. Bass, mandolin, harmonica, synthesizers, all came naturally over the years to fulfill my desire to learn about all things music!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I have been performing my original songs since the age of 12. Prior I was entering myself in performance arts competitions and participating in the recital circuits. My favorite thing in the world is performing, and I am always striving for bigger and better opportunities to share my music with the world!

...musicians a virtually limitless amount of sound options that can now be edited and manipulated straight from the keyboard. And if you’re a musician on a budget—which is every musician we’ve ever met—you can get all or at least most the benefits of an expensive synthesizer from a small MIDI keyboard that plugs right into your computer for under $100. MIDI sounds are a breeze to adjust and edit which is ideal for songwriters and producers. Unlike pianos, even the bigger keyboard synthesizer keyboards are portable. If you’re a musician who performs regularly, you will most likely have to settle on playing with a keyboard even if you’re a... Read More
