Zachary D

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Synthesizer Music

Currently, my teaching experience involves substituting for a drum class in one of the New York City boroughs, and assisting musicians or other campers when needed at Usdan Summer Camp for the Arts when I worked there as a Music Staff Intern. I have worked with multiple teachers throughout my musical journey and experience, and I have since picked up the teaching styles and methods that they taught me. I now want to use my experience and what I have learned to help other students or aspiring musicians, and help show them how fun and enjoyable playing their respective instrument or instruments can be.

Jason W

Instruments: Guitar Voice

Utilizing the philosophy of experiential education, I encourage my students to explore music through their own personal experiences. Understanding the experience we have with music in our everyday lives, allows us to personally connect with the music and sounds that speak to us, while aslo nurturing creativity and curiousity within our instrument. My purpose is to not only teach the technical aspects of the instrument but also develop a deeper and more personal connection to music. Read More

Kyrsten B

Instruments: Flute

I began teaching when I was in High School, where I had several students of varying ages and skill levels.  I taught private lessons in their homes.  I encourage regular practice, and weekly lessons.  A mixture of method books and my own personal written lessons I have found to be the most effective teaching strategy. Books with a variety of popular solos I also utilize.  Method books are necessary for skill, but can get boring and repetitive for younger students.  Keeping things fresh and interesting is my main focus in teaching.

Instruments: Flute Clarinet

Music is all around us, and I love the process of understanding, creating and sharing my passion with my students! I have been playing clarinet for over 25 years and teaching private lessons for over 15! I also teach public school band and jazz band. I love helping my students improve and become better players and grow appreciation for music. I have a lot of experience preparing students for NYSSMA, All County and All Eastern festivals.

Shy K

Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer

I always ask first what the student is looking to gain from these lessons, what pieces will he be interested in learning and who are his favorite composers. If that doesn't yield much, I will try to discover what are the student's interests and will try to approach him in a language that will excite him. Teachers need to be able to either keep the flame of the student going, or polish that flame. Read More

Billy D

Instruments: Voice

I have performed all over the world on luxury cruise lines and have even had the joy of singing at The White House. So, not only do I teach but I have a great understanding of the entertainment business and can help my students to nail that audition and land the job or role they are looking for. My students appreciate having a teacher who understands where they are coming from and that I can help them get over whatever hurtles are in their way. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Start out small. Don't just practice the easy stuff, or the songs you already know. Set a timer for a realistic amount of practice time; maybe just 10-15mins at first. Record yourself running through songs or exercises and listen back taking notes. Also, always keep a practice log to write down what you're working on, as well as your goals! I think that listening productively to music you want to learn is also practicing, as well as working on music with other musicians. Try to constantly improve and practice consistently!

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I LOVE teaching all ages, including young beginners. I think there's something really special about introducing an instrument or sound to a child. Does your child want to get involved in their school or community musically? Are they looking for a hobby or an outlet? Music shaped who I was when I was young, and led to many life-long friendships. I think your child is ready to start lessons if they have access to an instrument, and have access to music listening sources (iPods,youtube, speakers, school concerts, etc..)

When will I start to see results?
As soon as you get your bearings on an instrument (knowing where hands go, how to produce a sound) you can start to see results. If you practice a few minutes daily, and listen to music you're passionate about your playing will grow exponentially! My goal is for a student to learn a song they like after the first two lessons, along with learning how to practice and learn songs on their own! After a couple months, I aim for students to be at an intermediate level, reading music, learning songs, and hopefully loving their instrument more than ever before.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was a lucky kid when it came to teachers. At a young age, I was introduced to the piano and guitar by my father and the cello by a school teacher, Ms.Bonds. Their support and encouragement led me to art schools, the bass, and more influential teachers. By the time I was in high school, I knew music was the path for me. I fully believe that that was possible because of my inspiring teachers. They taught me technique, showed me music, and introduced me to other learning musicians. They showed me that music was cool, and the music community was even cooler.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Bass is my primary instrument (although I've been playing guitar for just as long). I picked the bass, because it was needed in my school band. My teacher asked if any students wanted to switch from cello to bass, and I decided to give it a go. As soon as I plucked the strings, I knew I wanted to be a bass player. I loved how the bass was used in every genre of music, and that it could help me understand jazz, classical, and rock music better. The bass taught me about the roles different instruments take in the band, and how to make a song better.

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.
