I love seeing a student succeed, but what I love more than that is seeing that the student understands it is their effort that has resulted in their success. It is hard to put in the practice time sometimes, and it is hard to always feel like you're progressing, so while I may need to sometimes guide a student into better choices (whether fingerings on the piano, or picking patterns on a guitar or banjo), I will always try to find some aspect of their current ability to compliment.

Instruments: Bass Guitar, Double Bass, Keyboard, Electric Guitar

I gave my first lesson when I was a sophomore in College, and during college I gave weekly lessons to about 5 students, each of different skill levels. During my time with these students I noticed that what I really enjoyed about teaching them was their passion for their instrument. I have also noticed that I would learn something from each student regardless of their level of musicianship, whether it be the recomendation of a new band or something that I picked up from their thought process when learning, such as how they go about learning a new concept or what they listen when they try to figure out the characteristics of a new groove or genre.

Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Mandolin, Double Bass

For beginning students, my methods are centered around melody in the form of easy to play songs and tunes, and developing an understanding for basic theory through rudimentary scales and chord construction. More advanced students are entreated to delve more deeply into melodic playing and advanced scale work through modal play, advanced chordal technique, "tips and tricks for fancy licks", and pointers for breaking down, and understanding the songs you want to play.

My teaching tools include some of the well known basic instruction books and I add to that with student-specific exercises and assignments. I like to see some playing, learn technique music theory, but like to apply everything to something useful to the student. Each instrument has challenges and their own personality. The process of learning how to enjoy and master that instrument comes from thorough understanding of its history in music and how to make it wonderful. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Cello, Bass Guitar

I am a multi-genre cellist who is passionate about helping students reach their full potential as musicians. I have been classically trained since the age of three, and studied classical theory and composition at Harvard University. However, towards the end of my college experience I began to learn jazz and blues and ended up pursuing a Master's degree in Contemporary Performance. I now practice both contemporary and classical equally, and am motivated to see the cello expand its possibilities in the realm of today's music. Read More
