Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar

This will open doors down the road and will enhance his or her capacity for learning*, not just musically but in all areas of intellect. No singular student is typical. Therefore no teaching method is typical, nor is the approach to any given student. Technique, thought process, feel/emotion, pulse/rhythm,ear and theory are all explored to a degree that is comfortably absorbed by the individual. The degree of aptitude reflected by an individual student will commensurate to the challenge that I will offer in terms of a reasonable expectation for success or, more importantly, the great pleasure to be derived from making music, sharing that ability and the personal reward that comes with that sense of accomplishment in communicating with music.

Instruments: Guitar Voice Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I am passionate and motivated when it comes to teaching my students because music is a powerful form of self expression and creativity that could help an individual succeed in all aspects of life. The confidence one develops with self expression carries over into all aspects of life. I graduated from Southern New Hampshire University with a Bachelor degree in communication. I've studied creative arts and now, I am currently in school for my second degree in Jazz Vocal Studies at City College of New York. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar

I began teaching in High School once my skill on guitar and bass had surpassed my band teacher; I was tasked with teaching the 3 bass students and 2 guitar students in the program and preparing them for the end-of-year performance. From there I began an odyssey spanning two decades working with students from 7 - 60+ and from beginners to advanced players. I have taught bass and guitar as a way to keep myself engaged and playing/learning even after retiring from touring, and have been lucky enough to have some of the greatest students a teacher could ask for!

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For beginning students, I typically begin with a deep dive on rudimental studies and keyboard skills on drums and mallet percussion. I gradually introduce notation and music literacy tools to improve the students understanding of how the fundamentals of music interact with one another. I use a lot of rote teaching methods as well to take full advantage of how physical percussion and drums can be. I find that students interests will quickly guide me to making suggestions for different repertoire to take on as the student is ready. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

The guitar has a poor reputation as a serious instrument, when it fact it is quite difficult, even physically un-natural to play. Bad habits can not only set you back, but take a great deal of time and effort to un-do, and can even cause physical pain or damage. I can't understate the importance of selecting a guitar teacher who has extensive experience with physical technique, and how it can free the guitarist from sluggish learning, frustration and most musical limits in their playing.

Anthony T

Instruments: Guitar

I have a different method for every level student. I start beginners with Hal Leonard's or Mel Bay's Guitar Method books. These books are clear to any age and can be picked up by any student. After these books have been completed, I introduce popular single melody, guitar technique and full tab/sheet solo repertoire books. The solo repertoire books usually contain tablature/sheet music along with chords and sometimes riffs/scales. Read More

Cadences

...above is considered a weak cadence in music because it is unresolved (resolved cadences are ones that end on the I chord). A Half Cadence is when any chord resolves to V rather than to I. Though it doesn’t happen often, these cadences can be placed at the end of a piece of music if the composer wants to leave the listener with a sense of things not being tied up. Also known as the “Amen” cadence, these occur when the IV chord resolves back to the I. There’s been a lengthy debate among music historians as to what type of function this cadence provided...

How Does a Piano Work?

...Music hasn’t been the same since the piano’s invention all the way back in 1700. The piano, which was first named the “fortepiano,” meaning “loud soft” in Italian, permanently changed the course of music because there had never been an instrument that could combine power, range, and dynamic sounds so well before. The piano gave composers and performers unprecedented access to an instrument that could be played both fiercely loud and devastatingly soft with a simple and easy-to-use system of foot pedals.   Entire genres of music have been built around the piano, and in 2017, the piano is one of the world’s most popular instruments. Pianos also serve as an excellent teaching tool when it comes to basic music theory ... Read More

Six Easy Guitar Riffs to Learn Today

...in an interview that “Day Tripper” was about drugs, and “a tongue-in-cheek song about someone who was … committed only in part to the idea.” Recorded in the fall of 1965, the released master track of “Day Tripper” contains one of the most noticeable mistakes of any Beatles song, in which the lead guitar and tambourine momentarily disappear at one minute and fifty seconds in.   This simple riff features a catchy melody placed over a syncopated rhythm. We recommend practicing this one to a metronome. The riff here shows the first half of the verse. To play the second part of the riff, ... Read More

...repeat everything exactly one string up.   12 Bar Blues/ Unknown/ Early 20th Century   One of music’s most easy guitar riffs comes in the form of a simple chord progression that helped develop popular music as we know it. What began as a simple blues progression has gone on to inform songwriting and lyricism in virtually every genre of popular music. The 12 Bar Blues is built off of three dominant, or 7th, chords that can be played in any key. The 12 Bar Blues has remained popular for over a century, and this is because the natural form of the progression matches ... Read More

Piano Technique: The Importance of Good Playing Habits

...piano and organ. These are three of the rules the site chronicles: “(1) That no finger must fall upon its key, or (as also often happens) be thrown on it, but only needs to be placed upon it with a certain consciousness of the internal power and com­mand over the motion. (2) The impulse thus given to the keys, or the quantity of pressure, must be maintained in equal strength, and that in such a manner that the finger be not raised perpendicularly from the key, but that it glide off the forepart of the key, by gradually drawing back ...

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.
