Antony E

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Recorder Conga Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I've had the opportunity to teach Ensemble music in a High school for students between 12-16 years old. Also did master classes for adults looking into genres like Boleros, Vals and Classical Music (Nylon Guitar). I've had 50= students doing private lessons with me and couldn't be happier of the results that they made with me. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

I encourage my students to find and explain to me the techniques that are working for them once I have given any instruction. I want you to have a deep seeded understanding of the teachings which I am employing upon you. I will begin with basic music fundamentals for all my students and establish a scope of your knowledge and then move forward accordingly. For my piano students I will start with a beginning piano book and we will move forward as you progress. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Around the age of 15, after about five years of performing, I started teaching guitar lessons to kids around my community and discovered a love for sharing my musical knowledge with others. When I went on to college, I continued teaching individual students and in my sophomore year joined a volunteer teaching group called SLAM! Through this twelve-week program, I had the opportunity to lead a group class of fifteen underprivileged middle schoolers with little to no musical experience. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Oboe Bassoon

I try to have as much fun as possible while still maintaining a high expectiation of performance.  I am, by trade and training, a comedian, so jokes and laughter abound. Most of my students might say I'm not as funny as I think I am, but we still have fun! I am, however a stickler for learning the basics of music theory and correct use of vocabulary. Students won't move on to the next level until I know they have a firm grasp of prior concepts. Read More

I provide students with a 10 week progress chart that allows us to keep track of progress. Each week the student will learn a lesson task, practice it, master it, then be required to show the skill. I will assist student with selecting songs to learn based on their level of skill and desired outcome. Once the skill is is mastered the student will move on to the next lesson task. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Robert S

Instruments: Voice Drums

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The voice is the most challenging musical instrument because of the many musicianship skills it take to master it. While instrumentalists enjoy the luxury of being able to articulate music using external triggers such as sticks, bows, slides, valves, and keys, improving vocal technique still requires dexterity and the development muscle memory to achieve successful navigation. All musical instruments have different intrinsic challenges derived from their various mechanical designs, however, the voice is activated internally by sending a controlled airstream to the larynx. The experience of singing is entirely physical and in addition to the moving parts of the larynx, vocal training involves learning how to manipulate the rib cage, diaphragm, throat, soft palate and lower jaw to best support the connection of breath and sound to the voice. Additionally, since the head and throat serve as resonance chambers, singers must learn how to physically develop tone quality, timbre and vocal colors using these devices. Essentially, a singer’s musical instrument is their body and each is naturally equipped with its own personal attributes.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For my voice students I like to begin with Anne Peckham's The Contemporary Singer because it provides the perfect warm up regimen for all musical idioms, including pop, R&B, jazz and classical styles. Anne's book provides perfect exercises for essential breath management skills, which affect intonation and phrasing. Students studying scat singing with me will learn mostly by rote but more advanced singers will use "Scat! Vocal Improvisation Techniques" and "Blues Scatitudes." In addition, I like to use the Vocal Real Book for jazz standard repertoire and will support any song the student would like to sing including pop, rock, Latin and Broadway show tunes. FInally, if the student needs to work on rhythms and/or rhythmic feel, I use my book "Rhythmania," which is call-response rote-learning format. Beginning drummers will enjoy a 3-step rote-learning process I call "Hear it, Sing it, Play it." Simultaneously I teach the traditional rudiments using a classic book called "Stick Control" written by George Stone. Intermediate to advanced drummers interested in playing jazz music use Ted Reed's "Syncopation for the Modern Drummer, "Advanced Techniques," by Jim Chapin, "Reading in 4/4," by Louis Belleson and David Weigart's "Jazz Workshop for Bass and Drums. Pop/rock/R&B drummers will enjoy Bill Elder's A Drummer's Guide to Contemporary Grooves," Paul Cappozzoli's "Around the Drums," and "Essential Stryles for Drums and Bass by Steve Houghton & Tom Warrington. I choose all my teaching approaches and books based on the student's interest, musical goals and proficiency level.

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.
