Elaine W

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

For beginners I typically start with the Piano Adventure series, and supplement with other familiar tunes for holidays. Depending on interest, students will receive additional music. From early intermediate level I assign music from baroque, classical, romantic or modern eras, and technical exercises like Hannon or Czerny. Students are encouraged to bring music they would like to play. I customize short technical exercises to help in finger dexterity. I introduce Dalcroze’s Solfège to help students appreciate musical sound and physicalization. Read More

Danielle N

Instruments: Piano Clarinet

Piano - I find that no one method book is completely standalone, so i incorporate several method books...Piano Adventures, John Thompson's course, Piano Pronto, and some self-composed music for my youngest students!  Intermediate-level pianists start choosing some of their own repertoire as well. Clarinet - For students who do well with method books, I use the Rubank Elementary & Intermediate books, and A New Tune A Day books by Ned Bennett. Read More

Kristin F

Instruments: Voice

There is something completely satisfying about seeing a student's face light up when they understand or master a concept. Unfortunately, I've dealt with insufficient instructors in the past, and nothing is worse than feeling like it's your fault when you mess up as a student. Therefore, I have a set plan for each lesson and leave my student with a new list of skills to master for the next lesson, because I want them to know what success feels like. Read More

Mallory P

Instruments: Violin

I teach students of all ages and playing levels, and I like to emphasize the importance of learning proper technique in my lessons, as building a solid technical foundation gives you the freedom to explore your creativity without the frustration of having to overcome technical barriers on their own. Learning an instrument teaches and reinforces numerous life skills, such as self-discipline, memorization, problem solving, following directions, and self efficiency, and can also be a fantastic outlet to express yourself and explore your creativity.

Jameson W

Instruments: Saxophone

I like to customize my lesson plans based on the student's needs. It also depends on the style of music that is being learned. I typically like to start with the Rubank method books. These books follow a progressive sequence of beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. However, this is not necessary; the concept of these books is to get a grasp of the fundamentals. I also provide many fundamental exercises I have created and used in my daily practice. Read More

George G

Instruments: Synthesizer Recorder

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

Robert G

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

Teacher In Spotlight

Arlette C

Instruments: Cello Music

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I became a professionally after studying at the University of Michigan for my Master's degree. I completed my Master's in one year and I then was hired to play on a European tour for 8 months. During this time I realized that I can hold my own as a professional cellist. I did return to Michigan to study more with my Professor on a private level for an additional 3 years. After which, I chose to become a professional cellist and as such I was hired in Michigan by several orchestras for 5 years. So a couple of years after receiving my Master's I gradually I earned my position as a professional cellist in several orchestras in Michigan and thus began my journey as a professional.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes I am come from a musical family on my Mother's side. My Mom played Mandolin and Piano as a child. Once she got married to have children, she no longer continued to play, however, she was the force that allowed us to choose my instrument and continue working diligently through my childhood.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started learning violin as a secondary instrument about 10 year ago. I was taught by my brother who is considered to be in the top 5 violinists in the U.S.A. I am very fortunate to have learned from the very best and now I can share my knowledge with my students. As the Violin is my secondary instrument, I have confined my teaching only to Beginning Violin which is approximately 1-2 years. After the student is proficient at the beginning level I then suggest to the student and parents to study with another teacher is more advanced than I am. Of course I have many names to offer the parents so that continue to get the best teacher possible.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love classical of course, but I also like Broadway and popular music. I am classically trained and I am most comfortable playing classical and teaching classical. I created "Cello Mania" about 6 years ago which consists of 8-10 professional cellist and we perform works from the classical style to rock 'n' roll. By hiring a composer we have been able to play music from Ricky Martin, U-2, Lady Gaga, Pirates of the Caribbean, Elivs Presley and Gloria Estefan just to name a few great singers.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Very hard question simply because I've never done anything else in my life. I did have to supplement my income by working as a medical secretary. At this point I hope to stay playing and teaching for many years to come.

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.
