Instruments:
My teaching is based on the thought that everone can be comfortable with making music. Since comfort comes best when things are fun, I like to focus on music that the student likes. This usually involves improvising as soon as a student knows a few notes, which creates a chance for self-expression and leads to confidence in playing with others. I also place emphasis on phrasing, My experience is that many students get wrapped up in the mechanical process of playing at the expense of musicality. I ask the student to think in linear terms, playing phrases rather than playing note-to-note. I will often ask them to model the music by singing it first. This helps to develop a proper aural concept of the music. In the end, to me the lesson is about who you are and how music matters in your life!
Instruments:
While I think keeping a relaxed, casual atmosphere while learning music is very conducive to learning, I believe that it has to be balanced with discpline and consistent practice. Setting weekly and monthly goals is very important to progress. Keeping a log book of accomplishments can raise a student's confidence and keep him on the right track, all the while showing him that a little practice every day can go a very long way. While each student learns at their own pace, maintaing a consistent practice schedule can ensure every student thrives and continues to learn.
Instruments:
I am a young Franco-American woman who has been devoted to music ever since I was three. I have been sharing my knowledge and passion for the past five years now, in private and group lessons. I am a performing artist who sings Jazz, French music, and indie rock music that I have composed myself. I have had the great experience of touring the US with my previous band, and participated to festivals such as South By South West, CMJ, Northside Fest etc. We have performed in venues in NYC such as Mercury Lounge, the Bowery Ballroom, and The Knitting Factory.
Instruments:
I am a Brooklyn based guitarist, pianist, bassist, composer and educator who loves helping others learn to play music. I have had the opportunity to recorded with people like Grammy Award-winning artist John Scofield, and play with legendary artists such as Chris Potter, Adam Rogers, Ari Hoenig, and Peter Bernstein. I am also an experienced educator, having taught guitar lessons professionally since the age of 16. I have taught children and adults, as well as beginning to advanced students and college music majors (Adjunct Instructor, NYU).
Instruments:
My teaching experience started in 2011 where I started working for a private lesson music studio. There I taught students ranging from the ages 5-60 and taught piano and guitar. I also worked part-time as a music theory and keyboard tutor at a Community College. I met weekly with students who were struggling with these subjects. It was a great a experience and I also got to work on brushing up my theory. My most recent job was being a lead guitar teacher for an after school program. There I taught guitar and piano for a group of 10-15 students.
