My name is Seth and I been working in the field of percussion for 18 years. My two degrees are in the field of music technology. Basically I look to combine music and technology together, which I use this method in my lessons. The reason I love percussion so much is the fact that you can turn anything you can imagine into a drum. With that mentality I can turn trash cans, paint cans, tables, virtually anything I want into a drum. Read More

I began teaching privately three years ago after earning both of my BM degrees from the University of Connecticut. Many students I have taught have numerous activities such as ensembles, sports teams, church, and other commitments. This is why I encourage students to practice daily with efficient techniques so they are able to continue to improve during their busy schedules. Also, I make an effort for my students to have fun in their lessons while having constructive criticism so the students are not discouraged and stay engaged. Read More

Although I do not teach Suzuki method, I do like to use the Suzuki method books as a resource for teaching younger students. The first piece my school-aged students learn will always be one that they know the tune to already: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, for example. Once students are comfortable in holding and using the violin, I introduce a little bit of note reading at each lesson. For adult students, understanding of the instrument will come much faster, so I love getting my students to play music with which they can focus on making a beatiful sound while still learning the fundamentals.

I continued gaining experience in this field during college, where I would consistently meet with fellow students to instruct/tutor them outside of classes. I believe that through my experience I have been able to provide lessons that make learning both fun and interesting for the student. Read More
