Kira V

Instruments: Guitar Voice Acoustic Guitar

I started teaching voice while at Purchase College and then focused on performing and writing, and came back to teaching last year. I use the techniques I've learned from my vocal teachers along the way, as long as my own ideas and perspectives on healthy, correct ways to sing your best. I believe strongly in teaching technique and basic theory in addition to singing whole pieces and performing. To me, every aspect of singing is enjoyable and I try to bring that sense of positivity and encouragment to my lessons. Read More

Gus B

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar

I start out with fundamental theory, scales, and chords, along with easy songs and riffs. I teach student differently depending on their skill and ability level. I utilize textbooks and DVDs to accompany the lessons. My approach is straight forward, which enables the students to learn quickly.I think the visual aspect of the guitar is very important, so I focus a lot on theory applied directly to the guitar.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Bass Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience began in 2016, when I enrolled in a degree program in secondary education at Southern Connecticut State University. At Southern, I learned very much about human development, and teaching methods and strategies. I also gained over 120 hours of classroom observation experience. Upon graduating with a B.A. degree in Physics (Southern doesn't offer music education degrees), I was hired as a Paraprofessional in a New Haven Public School. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Tim P

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Trumpet Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Recorder Double Bass Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I am actually pursuing my dream job, being a college professor, teaching philosophy and education. I love music, but philosophy and education is something of a higher power for me. I study national education policy and state education policy. I hope one day I am able to change the way federal and state policy is enacted. I believe the state of education is going the wrong way. Teachers should have complete control of what they teach and how they teach it. This is something I am really passionate about.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I answered this question above. I love everything. I am not opposed to playing any style. I have played country, celtic, funk, blues, jazz, hip-hop, indie rock, folk rock, and more. I do love playing indie rock though. As long as I am creating something new I am happy. Music is infinite and you can play something twice and it will be different each time. That is why music is special. Music can be difficult and easy, but it is always fun. I will play anything at anytime. There is nothing I would not play.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I had tolerant just about every instrument in my music education program. I had to take piano for two years in college, classical piano and jazz piano. This helped me out greatly when it came to composing songs. The piano is like having every instrument at your finger tips it is the best instrument. I love paying other instruments because it is a new world for me both physically and mentally. I am like a kid in a candy shop. I recently started playing trumpet because it seemed challenging, and it is, but it is very fun.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music does not run in my family. I took the pains of learning how to play music at the age of twenty-four years old. I learned how to read music, learn by ear, and physically play. This was an amazing experience for me. It helped me see that discipline is the main source in learning to play music. I had a great work ethic before I started to play and now it is even stronger because of music. I am the only one in my family that plays music. I learned from friends, teachers, and on the job training.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I fell into playing music professionally. I was professionally playing before I went to college for music. I played about four to five nights a week an learned everything from playing live, sort of. I practiced about eight hours a day on top of working, building houses. I had the passion, drive, and want to go somewhere with music. I made it happen by playing and practicing. I made sure that I was humble, reliable, and good at what I did. These reasons are the only reasons why I was able to play professionally.

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.
