Instruments: Piano Violin
I believe the best teaching method is one that focuses on the accomplishments of each student. I have several different rewards systems that I will use to motivate students to practice at home. Part of this system is encouraging my students to set their own realistic goals and walking them through how to reach them. Additionally, I am a big believer in affirmation and will do my best to encourage each student throughout the lesson. Read More

My teaching style is adaptive to each individual student's strenghts and weaknesses. I create lesson plans based off of skill level and learning type.Everyone learns at their own pace, and I make sure to cater to those individual needs.I am an educator who strongly believes in the power of music education, and how it relates to other aspects of life. I believe a fun environment is the first step in education, and through the proper balance of hard work and fun the students goals will be met. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola
As a teacher i encourage my students to keep improving and progressing to the best of their ability. While I can be strict, I always try to make lessons fun, especially for young children because it is essential to their learning capability that they enjoy learning their instrument. Students are given opportunities, words, and support to increase their self confidence while constantly challenging them so that they can make the greatest strides possible to their own personal level and learning speed.

George G., also known as Masri is an Egyptian American electronic music producer based in Raleigh, North Carolina. Formerly studying Human Biology, George didn't chase his passion for music until halfway through his college career. Attending NC State University, he switched his major to Art Studies and graduated in 2018 with a Music Concentration. George showed considerable interest in electronic music and computers at a very early age. Buying his first MP3 player at 9 years old, he started collecting music from all sorts of genres including Techno, Trance, House, Reggaeton, and Arabic music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
I understand how hard it is to learn a new instrument. Music is just like a language - because it is one! My approach to learning music is, like learning a new language, immersion in the basics and linking concepts from playing to listening. Depending on what the student wants to learn, I am willing to take great lengths in making sure the student is enjoying the experience as well as learning the importance of music. Read More
Instruments: Trombone
For beginners, I start by focusing on developing a good sound and ensuring that the student knows what a good sound is and what it is not. Air is the foundation of a good sound so, in my introductory lessons, I focus heavily on breathing and air support. This is a foundation that is continued throughout the time the student continues to take lessons. I then begin to work with the student on fundamentals such as articulation, slide control, intonation, etc. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set a routine and stick to it! With that though, avoid getting into ruts. Don't practice the same thing over and over again just because it is easy or you sound good on it. While repetition is good and necessary, make sure you stretch yourself and attempt something new when you can. Sight reading is a great way to accomplish this. It's also a fantastic way to develop all of your skills and musicality. Finally make sure every practice session includes something you hate doing i.e. a difficult exercise, scales, whatever, and something you love doing, i.e a favorite song or etude. Finding these balances will make your practice sessions fly by and be extremely effective.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they show interest, they are ready. Generally if they can count to 10 and know their ABCs and can focus on a task for 20+ minutes, they can take lessons. I recommend not starting them off with brass or singing lessons until they are at least 10 years old. Most kids simply don't have the lung development until that age to really be successful. If they are interested in playing a wind instrument or singing, it is usually best to start them off with piano and then work those other things in. I have developed breathing exercises for younger students that go well with playing piano to get them into good habits so when they reach a good age, they are set up for success.
When will I start to see results?
This is a very difficult to answer and very loaded question. Every student is different. While it is my job to give a student the tools for success, the practice time at home between lessons is where the real progress is made. My true job is to teach a student HOW to practice, so that when they practice, they are successful. The student must take it upon themselves to take what they have earned in lessons and practice at home. If a students has difficulties practicing at home, then we can work on finding a way to make them want to practice. Practicing is the absolute only way to get better at music. Coming into lessons unprepared will never work out for the student.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had many teachers who have inspired me to be a musician. From a very young age, my parents saw and nurtured my musical desires. My father sang in community and church groups and my mother was always singing. My first grade school music teacher got me involved in the school choir and band. My biggest influence as I grew up and decided to go into music as a profession was definitely
