Lauren G

Instruments: Voice Violin Electric Violin Music

I strive to make my lessons fun! Learning to do something you love should be fun. I enjoy teaching students especially when they have a strong passion for what they are doing. I encourage them to practice daily, if nothing else. I always say, even if it's only 10 minutes a day, that's better than 30 minutes only one day of the week! Even if you are very talented, you still must practice to get better. Read More

Edward D

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Tuba

For a young child to love music, a teacher must introduce it to him or her in a passionate way, without forcing it one the child. The struggling student is just as capable of loving music, just as much as the accomplished one. As I mentioned earlier, all students learn at different paces, so I teach each student as close as humanly possible to their level. It is not important for a child to play like a professional musician, but to play like the student has put his or her heart into learning the music. Read More

Kevin R

Instruments: Cello

My teaching style is totally focused on the goals and aptitude of the student, as well as any personal matters that might interfere with the learning process. An example of the latter is a student who might have a high level of anxiety due to their past learning experiences. Every effort is made to understand the students anxiety, and help them overcome it, rather than add to it, in any way. Read More

Pete O

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I have been teaching in the areas of greater New York City and Long Island for the last 12 years. Making a student's musical aspirations has always been a great source of joy for me. Mainly, I focus on building a student's repertoire of his or her favorite music, so that practice can be a source of expression and actualization instead of obligation and drudgery. Once the student has started exploring their musical preferences, we can continue developing perfect technique, as well as practical improvisation and theory. Read More

Jay L

Instruments: Piano

I'm a Jazz/Classical pianist, composer, and educator. I graduated from Concordia University and started my career as a Jazz pianist in Montreal QC. Soon after, I took a next big step of pursuing MM (master's in music) in Jazz Piano in NY. I had wonderful two years in SUNY Purchase Conservatory of Music studying with renowned Jazz legends, and it led me to an opportunity to go for second MM in Classical Composition that gave me so much wider and deeper musical spectrum.

Kate W

Instruments: Flute Clarinet

Playing clarinet has always been a staple of my life. I started mentoring and giving private lessons to younger clarinet students in high school and continued on from there! I have traveled to students homes and worked out of my studio ever since. I like to use a good combination of technique exercises and expressive studies to give my students a well rounded education and understanding of how to perform. 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.
