Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Mandolin Recorder Lute Double Bass Mallet Percussion Conga Latin Percussion

I have been teaching private lessons for 10 years. Encouraging students to practice regularly and to have fun with their instrument is essential for the learning process. I stress the importance of these two things so that the student may develop a love for music and their instrument of choice. Also, being able to teach a variety of musical styles keeps students wanting to learn. I encourage students to not only learn written pieces, but to create their own music and individual sound.

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I really enjoy and endorse Hal Leonard's guitar teaching books. They are widely available, affordable and easy to read and comprehend for beginners. I like to develop a personalized lesson plan for each student beginning with an evaluation during the first lesson. I like to ask a lot of questions pertaining to the students' musical background, learning preferences and musical tastes. I then focus on fundamentals, practice regimens and music theory. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar

I've been teaching private music lessons since I first started college in 2004. I've taught at community centers, afterschool programs, and music stores since graduating in 2008, and started my own home studio about 2 years ago. I like to teach the rudiments, as the fundamentals of music and of one's instrument provide the solid base upon which all else is built, though I also stress creativity for all my students. I encourage students to draw from many genres of music, and not limit themselves to one style or method of playing. Read More

Billy J

Instruments: Piano Guitar

I have been teaching music for about five years now. As soon as I started teaching myself music theory concepts and sharing them with my friends, I knew that teaching was something that I wanted to do for the rest of my life! Music means a lot to me as I'm sure it does to you. I love being able to time travel through different emotions and sounds, and the guitar has allowed me to do that! Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet French Horn Oboe Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For beginning students I start with basics: learning how to hold the instrument, put it together, etc. Then when that is solid we learn a few notes. From there we go to the Rubank books. At the same time, we start reading music that I find appropriate for them. For adults, it depends on what they want to learn. Popular songs or songs they request. But I also push for technical mastery of the instrument so I push for knowledge of scales and then keep pushing with more challenging/fun pieces. Read More

Asher M

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Hi! I'm Asher. I'm a lifelong musician. It's who I am; playing guitar is a language to me, and one in which I often feel more fluent than my native tongue. I've been teaching private and group lessons for over ten years. I've been fortunate enough to perform, both solo and with bands, all over the world. I've led groups of talented musicians to perform original music from Jerusalem to Tokyo, toured the United States multiple times, and have recorded and produced over 1,000 songs in my lifetime.

Robert B

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I feel as though everyone has a creative block every now and then it’s something that every musician deals with. I can definitely say sometimes I go through slumps where I’m having a musical wall and meet a breakthrough but that just pushes me to further my plane and think of new concepts and ideas to take it to the next level. Mastery and creative blocks are one of the hardest things to conquer when playing in any instrument but it’s also something that I find can be mastered over time with hard work and diligence.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Several of my students have received fans from their own music because of my lessons and musical training which is helped improve their own bands and musical endeavors. I can’t say they’re winning Grammys but they are definitely making moves in the music world and improving their lives which is the greatest reward to me in my opinion. Every student should have a special goal that they are trying to achieve with my lesson should be doing to help them. I am proud of my students and what they have achieved through my lessons.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I’m definitely proud of all of the live shows and traveling I have achieved with playing guitar. Most of all I’m definitely proud of my endorsements and instruments I received from playing all these years. To be able to travel the world meet new places try new foods and experience new things in life are the greatest accomplishments to me. There’s nothing more for filling in life than that I can definitely say that it has made everyone in my family proud and above all myself which is most important.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I’ve always had a huge fascination with playing Atari ever since I was younger. The things you were able to create with plain is something that other instruments didn’t seem appealing to me. The sound and the playability of the instrument is what really stuck out to me playing guitar something that I always found inspiring to do and still feel that way to this day whenever I pick it up. Like they always say, everyone secretly wants to play guitar whether they admit it or not! Guitar will always be my passion.

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.
