Kathryn Z

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

Vocally, I believe good basic technique is the same for every genre of music. Therefore, great emphasis is placed on learning to breathe and support your sound correctly as well as maintain good posture, rid your body of unwanted tensions, etc.; musical styles beyond that basic technique change only in small stylistic ways, and I am knowledgeable in quite a variety of most musical styles. With guitar, I focus on learning to read and play musical notation and chords without using guitar tablature. Read More

David S

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Synthesizer Keyboard

My teaching style is a mixture of a relaxed, conversational feel combined with strong focus. I will constantly insist on stern focus on the material being played- offering big picture ideas as to why a piece is being practiced in a certain way, while asking the student to tell me why such and such a method makes sense. Very small mistakes in the music will be cause to stop and refocus. Read More

Chuck W

Instruments: Guitar Trumpet Trombone Ukulele Euphonium Tuba

I have been teaching since the year 2000, and currently maintain a diverse studio of 10-20 students ranging in age from elementary school to mid-50s. My mission is to help students clearly define their goals in music-making, and lay out a plan to accomplish those goals. Competitions and recitals are strictly optional--there is no pressure here.

Woody H

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar

Since 1996 I have been solely committed to a career in teaching and performing professionally. My Father was an amateur jazz pianist, my Grandmother, a professional opera singer prior to marriage. My earliest memories came with a soundtrack: my Dads piano playing. I studied privately both on piano (early) and guitar (later), starting somewhere in my fifth year. I always took advantage of musical opportunities afforded me at school whenever appropriate, whether that was a school musical, talent show, battle of the bands, jazz band or music elective.

I have had very minmal instruction of my own over the years however what I have been taught has been invaluable to me.In 2005 I attended Berklee College of Music in Boston for their summer program.

Connor F

Instruments: Guitar Trumpet Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Generally, I can only meet with students once or twice a week. Because of this, it's very important that students be able to learn and progress on their own. I believe in the importance of teaching the skills necessary for self-improvement both as a instrumentalist and musician, whether it's figuring out how best to go over trouble sections or memorization. I create checklists for students so that they can clearly show me what they've practiced each day and for how long. Read More

...that our goals and ambitions are valid and achievable. Unfortunately, our society has had a tendency to assign gender expectations to various instruments, obviously not at all based in reality. The aspiring young percussionist may see more men than women playing percussion and find herself wondering if the field is right for her. The truth is, however, that many women are at the top of the field in percussion.   We’ll begin with one of the most influential marimbists of the last century:   Keiko Abe   Keiko Abe’s role in the development of both marimba technique and design cannot be overstated.
