Natasha M

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola

Hello, and welcome to my studio! I love to make music with my students! I teach technique, theory and performance by using music that appeals to them. I always look for new ways to teach. My goal is to create a comfortable yet challenging learning environment in which every student is successful. My teaching style is enthusiastic and caring. I believe that the best way to encourage students to practice is to teach music that they want to play, to have them perform, to challenge them with beautiful music and to use technology to support practicing.

Caitlin O

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

I have experience teaching flute and piccolo students ages 6-60, from brand new beginners to advanced high school students and beyond. I have worked with students in a variety of settings, from one on one private lessons, small group sessions, to flute sectional coaching. My primary goal is always for lessons to be a fun and positive experience at any level. While I emphasize technique and fundamentals at all levels because I believe these are essential to develop the skill required learning any instrument, I always like to end lessons with a skill appropriate duet, because the best part of music making is being able to create and share it with others.

D'Niko E

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Double Bass Piccolo Oboe Bassoon Music Keyboard

I'm most comfortable working with beginner to intermediate students, ages 7-11. Initially, I will provide my students with an assessment to learn more about the student's interest and performance level. Subsequently, based upon the assessment results, I will provide my students with a series of warm-up exercises designed to support proper posture, breathing and the overall handling of their respective instrument for every session . Each session and lesson plans are customized for my students, and will be scheduled as followed: 5 minutes - Greeting and Warm-Up Exercise(s); 10 minutes - Modeling/ Recap and Collaborative Instruction of Core Skill(s); 10 minutes - Independent Application Recording Assessment of Core Skill(s); 5 minutes - Critiquing of Core Skill(s) Wrap-Up Activity.

Instruments: Voice

I'm a driven, passionate person who loves music. My goal in being a teacher is to bring that feeling of fun, satisfaction, and calm that I get from music to the generation or to anyone who wishes to learn. In 2018, I graduated with a degree in voice from Towson University where I had many wonderful opportunities to work with amazing faculty and colleagues. In April, I had the privilege to play the role of The Count in Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro, my first 4 act opera. Read More

Instruments: Ukulele

Hello! I was originally trained as a classical cellist, but I fell in love with the ukulele when I was in high school. In college at Loyola Maryland, I was the president and founder of the ukulele club which was featured on the Today Show with Al Roker in 2017. I perform with my ukulele when I can at coffee houses and events. I sang in choirs and a-cappella during college but when I sing or perform alone I always use my uke. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
First of all, practicing out of a sense of obligation is a dead end. The internet is filled with articles and interviews of some of the greatest musicians of our time and virtually all of them agree on this point. Practice needs to have a sense of excitement and freshness. Of course, there are aspects of practice that are challenging and sometimes repetitive and no musician can entirely avoid those. However, our main motivation for practicing music needs to flow out of inspiration and love for what we're doing. So, incorporating a sense of play is important in any practice session. It is paramount to allow periods of practice, particularly the beginnings of practice sessions, to contain free-form exploration of the instrument in the form of improvisation, exploring the sound possibilities of the instrument, and anything that sparks the curiosity and imagination of the musician.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
When your child is nagging you over a period of many months to buy them the instrument of their choice, that is generally the surest indicator that they are ready to start lessons. If they have already established musical interests, especially under the age of ten, that is a bonus. Usually, children under the age of ten experience obstacles to learning the guitar because of motor-skill development issues. This is not such a big deal, as the years before the child's hands and body catch up with their interest, can be used to explore music and develop their interests. This is a vastly underestimated and critically important part of the development of any musician. Making progress on an instrument becomes much easier when the interests of the student are already well established.

When will I start to see results?
There is no way to answer this question other than to say that it depends on the student. The factors are so varied, including age, musical interests, physical ability, personality type, and others, that the outcome is impossible to predict. Any other answer is misleading at best and disingenuous at worst. Also, I am uncomfortable with the implications of the questionl. After all, how do we define "results"? Is our idea of results being able to play certain pieces of music by certain points? Being performance ready after a certain period of time? If so, we are almost certainly setting ourselves up for frustration and disappointment, even if we achieve the goal we have set for ourselves. If our idea of seeing results involves enjoying ourselves from the very first lesson and taking pride in whatever we are able to accomplish, then results come immediately. Those are the kinds of results I strive for and I find that this kind of less goal-oriented approach paradoxically produces better results, in terms of practical outcomes.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have a number of former students who are now performing and teaching professionals. A former student of mine recently graduated from the University of Maryland at Baltimore County's jazz guitar program and has become an outstanding guitarist and musician. Another former student now tours regularly with his band and has been doing so for years. I have had students who went on to successful teaching and performing careers, at the School of Rock and at Music and Arts Center in particular. Beyond that, I've had students who developed themselves in ways they wouldn't have thought possible before they started.

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.
