Music Lessons in Brightwaters, NY

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have no "standard" method of teaching. I have use of massive resources and don't require my students to buy books. I feel that if you are enjoying the pieces you are working on, then you're more interested in your lessons. I work with you to create the perfect lesson for you. Of course, we learn the basics (scales, sight reading, etc). but as far as the "hard stuff" we work as a team! Read More

Instruments: Voice

I am a CVT certified bilingual (Hebrew and English) Voice Teacher with 10 years of experience teaching and coaching student voices between the ages of 9 and 90. I am proud to provide students with a diverse set of tools, enabling them to express themselves freely and to sound the way they wish. I believe that everyone can learn to sing in a healthy way and that all voices benefit from the same set of rules. Read More

I've spent the last year teaching guitar. I used to teach my friends who were less experienced on guitar certain fundamentals about music theory to help them progress further. Read More

Instruments: Drums Latin Percussion Djembe

I believe music is an art form that offers one of the greatest paths to intelligence a human can achieve. I feel that learning and teaching music are key parts of how all culture was originally created and transmitted. Sharing the knowledge and expertise I have acquire over the years with students is very gratifying, but so is receiving their unique input on any matter. I believe that our classes are ways for us to connect to students and for them to play, be creative, explore and keep me also on the path of discovery. Read More

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.

Instruments: Cello

My main foundations for my teaching are rooted in goal setting, collaboration, and engaging music learning. At the beginning of every semester, I like to evaluate the goals from the previous semester, talk about what progress has been made, and what the future goals are. I personally feel that many times students quit because they do not enjoy practicing at home week after week, so for me, collaboration either with students from school, other students in the studio, or in local music schools or orchestras is a must.

Instruments: Clarinet

I think that it is very important to teach not just how to play an instrument, but also the fundamentals of how music works and why. I create custom lesson plans so that my students not only learn to play the clarinet, but also gain fluency in music reading and music theory. Although method books are helpful tools, I do not consider myself or my students bound to them and I work with each student and their individual goals in order to craft lesson plans that work for both of us.
