Aaron R

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Drums Bass Guitar Mandolin Double Bass Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For those who are just starting on an instrument, I usually focus on basic technique. Bass and guitar are both physical instruments in their own way, and getting acclimated to the feel of it is key to having success on it. For bass, I typically teach out of the Suzuki book series, while as for guitar, I use the Hal Leonard's Essential Elements, however, I am happy to teach whatever method a student or their parents feel strongly about.

Max W

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone

I like to teach by setting both short- and long-term goals with the student. My personal goal is to help the student learn a healthy and strong passion for music and to prepare them to accomplish their ambitions and to continue playing after they are finished working with me, whether it is as an amateur, as a continuing student, as a conservatory student, or as a professional. I want to equip each student to be an auto-didact, capable of teaching themselves, and to be able to teach music themselves. Read More

Gem B

Instruments: Piano Guitar

As a kid, I really disliked my piano lessons. as a teacher I want to put an emphasis on having fun in my lessons, because music, as i've come to realize, is one of the most fun activities to partake in. that being said, it is essential to know the fundamentals and techniques, so I will most likely use method books such as Alfred's or Hal Leonard's, especially for people starting fresh.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Harmonica Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I am an enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructor who loves sharing my love of music with students. In 2011 I graduated from Haverford College as a Music Minor and History Major. I write songs constantly and have performed hundreds of times as both a solo artist and with bands that I have formed. I have performed in Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, California, North Carolina, Texas and Louisiana. I work every day to become a better singer, songwright, and instrumentalist, and I appreciate working with those who share a similar drive to excel. Read More

Peter G

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba

I suit my lessons to the individual needs and goals of the student. For beginners, I typically begin out of a method book, but I also use studies and etudes that I have developed on my own in the course of my teaching career. Throughout the learning process, I engage the student with real music to build listening skills, and teach concepts like tone, phrasing, and expression. I also teach all of my students music theory and listening analysis because I believe this is a neccessary component of a strong musical foundation. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Jacob S

Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet Oboe

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session consist of a light warm up maybe 5 to 10 minutes. Working on some scales. Reviewing last weeks lessons. Then we start breaking down the problem areas and working them out measure by measure. I like to watch my students while the play very closely to pick up any technique issues. I like to ask them did they have any problem with the lesson, there may be something they didn't quite understand. I like to finish all lessons with playing a duet and then reviewing what's going to be on next weeks lesson.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I don't have a music a degree in any music field. There are many great professional players who have no degree whatsoever. I'd like to think my degree comes from 20 years as military musician and another 18 years of playing 5 and 6 nights a week in restaurants, private parties, corporate events, and weddings. I have studied with many wonderful instructors whose knowledge is part of everything I do when it comes to performing. If I had to choose a degree I thing it would be composition, I love arranging music for small ensembles.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Choosing method books is a very subjective thing kind of like choosing headphones or loud speakers. Everyone swears theirs is the best. There some standards though. For brass, Arbans book. Woodwinds there are too many to mention. I guess for beginners Essential Elements is a good start because all of the different instrument books work together like a musical suite. Very smart idea. For saxophone I like Klose daily exercises and the universal sax method book. For clarinet Klose method. Its like the clarinet bible. The exercise in there go through every alternate fingering you could thing of for clarinet. Very practical For oboe Vade Mecum for Oboe and Barrett for Oboe. I like the Barrett because it has tons of duets in the back of the book for a treble clef instrument and a bass clef instrument so you can do oboe bassoon duets.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on any instrument is technique. That means different things to different instruments. If you play the Horn in F you might have a problem mastering the overtone series. On trumpet it may be the range. On trombone the different positions. On tuba just having enough air to make the instrument sound full. Most woodwinds it comes down to runs. Having fluid scales is a must especially for upper winds like flute and clarinet. Oboe's main thing to master is the tone because most oboe solos are slow and all about the tone of the instrument. With saxophone it's style, if you're an alto player everyone wants that Sanborn sound, if you're playing tenor gotta sound like Brecker.

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.
