Robert S

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Acoustic Guitar

I don't believe that there is any single "right" way to make or produce music. Music is an international language that transcends boundaries of statehood, culture, and identity. As a South African, I was raised on the drumbeats and rhythms of traditional Zulu and Xhosa folk music. Upon moving to the UK, I received classical "western" training in drum kit, chorus, and piano. In my professional career, I learned the "rules" of recording and production, mastering Pro Tools under the tutelage of some of the finest producers in the business. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I've been teaching on and off over the past 10+ years. My first experience teaching in a professional setting was at the Royal Academy of Music in Shrewsbury Massachusetts while taking some time off from college. There I taught up to 30 students in any given week. It's also where I branched out and began teaching beginner to intermediate bass guitar, piano, and drums. Since returning to New York I have taught a number of private students throughout the Hudson Valley. Read More

Furthermore, I dont limit my students and put them into a mold- I encourage them to embrace their unique ideas and embrace their individuality as part of their identity. I am confident that with my help, my students will not only fall more deeply in love with violin playing but also become more confident in performing. I have worked with students of all levels, so whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced player, I can promise you will get the most out of me. Read More

Liz H

Instruments: Piano Voice

I began teaching voice and piano lessons in grad school and have been teaching for the past 5 years. I love sharing my passion for the voice as an instrument, and I feel that a strong foundation of music theory and keyboard skills is a must for vocalists. I enjoy incorporating all of these skills into lessons. I've also found that no matter what style and genre of music interests you there is a primary fundamental healthy technique as the foundation for all of them, and I find it ver exciting and thrilling to develop the skills needed to unlock this vocal freedom!

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Synthesizer Conga Latin Percussion Keyboard Djembe Acoustic Guitar

I have been teaching music for 15 years, during this time I have been able to understand the diversity of paste in which we all learn. My purpose is to inspired and challenge my students so that they can find their own voice and style, during my classes we find out what the best way to achieve our goals is by working hard, having fun and creating a musical relationship. My lessons are an interaction between myself and the student where I point out their strengths and weaknesses, an environment of love and patience where music serves us as the medium for growth.

Teacher In Spotlight

John C

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Music Keyboard

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session for me is no different than what I expect from my students. For wind instruments I start out with some long tones, scales, arpeggios for ten minutes. Classical studies fro ten minutes. And improvisation for ten minutes. Then I take a ten minute break and go back over things I think I missed in scales, arpeggios I will go slowly go through things that I think need work. If I see that I have a problem playing something I will find supplementary material to gain more technique.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have an undergraduate degree in music education. It was my intention at that time to pursue a career in teaching. Aside from the stability of a teaching routine I get great satisfaction out of helping others. What I found, out along the way, is that students have taught me a lot of things and their successes have lead to me greatly modifying and enhancing my instructional materials and techniques. Also teaching different instruments has enhanced my overall abilities as a musician and an instructor.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My most immediate goal is to play in a symphony orchestra. That is really my dream job. I am working on learning all the literature that I need to know in order to play at that level. I also may need additional instruments for a position like that. For example clarinet players may need an Eb clarinet or a bass clarinet in addition to a Bb and an A. I am looking at these opportunities and working on the music every day. The fact that I striving for this level of excellence will hopefully give my students some idea of how they need to approach their own goals.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I tried sales for a few years. It really wasn't for me. I worked as a public school teacher and I wasn't thrilled with that either. What I am doing now is good. I like private teaching and eventually I would like to play more classical music in either a symphony orchestra or in a ballet or opera company. I am also focused on being a soloist in the classical genre. The focal point of my practice is classical music and jazz studies. Commercial music does not interest me as much. I do not like to play in bars or clubs. Those places have too scary creatures.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
