Berklee College of Music graduate, Aaron M., has been teachings students of all ages for over 18 years. "I love watching young musicians grow into seasoned players and have had tremendous success with all my students. I believe that learning songs and playing music is a critical element in the learning process of becoming a good musician. This is why I bring a powered PA speaker, mp3 player, and (sometimes) a guitar to my lessons for the student to play along with and learn familiar songs. Read More

My style is to create a stress-free environment. Making music is fun and fulfilling and I make sure the student gets to experience that for themselves. I am very flexible with my approach. If I notice a student hates to read music, then we will practice learning by ear, or vice versa. If I notice my student is writing his or her own songs, then I foster that by teaching composition.

I love teaching beginners of any age including special needs students. Most importantly, I will help you learn to play the music you LOVE and stay motivated. I specialize in Adult Beginners and am happy to teach students aged 9 to 109! I worked as a professional musician in New York City for several years and played in numerous Salsa bands, a Ska band—and small classical groups. I also led a group called The Triple Trouble Trombone Trio and a 12 piece Salsa band called “Profundo” as well as a 9 piece Salsa/Middle Easter R&B Hybrid band called “Havana Gila” Read More
Instruments: Piano Music
My methods differ depending on the students. Im from China where music academies and music schools are mostly designed for people to become professional musicians due to cultural issues. Music is a tool rather than a passion. That is also how I perceived piano playing when I learned piano in China. I was pressured to practice at least 4 hours a day since I was in grade school to become a pianist regardless of my willingness. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
I have been teaching a total of 5 years. I currently have a studio of students online now and I am looking to expand my experience teaching. I was excited to complete my graduate thesis in December 2021, Music for Creative Learning. It proposes a specific teaching pedagogy that is meant to stimulate cognitive development, foster creativity, and develop global civics. More importantly it uses music as an interconnective force for creative learning and cultural immersion in education. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Encouragement is key to my teaching style. Praising a students accomplishments motivates them to higher goals. Each student has different needs. What is good for one is not good for another. I have to be flexible in my teaching. Some students love classical music others love new age. I am willing to try new music, and try to listen to the students. If one loves a piece, one will practice it. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For piano- I teach out of several method books- Faber, Bastein, John Thompson and Alfred's. I also implement Dozen a Day for piano technique and Hanon and scales. I use Czerny for the intermediate student. For voice- I work to build a solid understanding of breath, posture, vowel sounds and shapes, singing legato, etc. I believe a classical technique in both instruments is the best foundation for growth into any style.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My grandfather was a rag-time and blues pianist, completely self-taught and played everything by ear. He died when I was very young, and I never really heard him play, but one day I just started playing songs by ear and started teaching myself the piano year by year, and the rest is history! I really started learning the jazz language seriously in high school, and then started to master it in college!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My high school band director of 2 years, before retirement, Mr. Massey, has been one of the best teachers I have ever known. He was the first teacher to truly push me, to get me out of my comfort zone, and to reach my potential the way nobody else saw yet. He was very tough on me, and sometimes I didn't see why, but it made me the musician I am today and inspired many of the methods I use as a teacher and a player that I still use today.
When will I start to see results?
Sometimes results will be hard to see, but I like to see results as becoming more comfortable with the material and challenges that a student is faced with. I strongly encourage my students to record themselves practicing, at jam sessions, listening to concerts, etc. Listening back to these will help students realize how far they have come, and how progression does occur even when it doesn't feel like it. In my vocal tech class at UMass, my teacher assigned us a task called 'video reviews' where we commented on our own singing from videos she recorded in class. Listening to these, I couldn't even believe some of the improvements and accomplishments I had made from earlier in the ear, and would not have realized if it weren't for those videos or that assignment. Progress and results are interesting aspects of music, and they are sometimes invisible, but I promise they always come, whether in small or massive forms!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice with intent! Instead of practicing what you know or what you're already good at, spend more time completely focused on playing those 2-3 bars that you don't know in a piece. Sometimes all you need in a practice session is to master 1 very difficult passage. Sometimes it's learning a whole piece in an hour or two. Create a plan with your teacher, or even by yourself, where you can make progress by a system, and remember that small victories are big victories! Trust me, they add up over time!
