Jun L

Instruments: Violin Viola

My teaching experiences date back to my high school days where I was a teacher assistant to my school's orchestra program. I have had the opportunity to work with students of all skill levels from basic beginners to more intermediate students auditioning for youth orchestras. I have also been teaching privately on and off according to my school schedule. Through my experiences and love for teaching, I am certain that I can provide each student with their own unique and motivating violin experience. Read More

Akiko S

Instruments: Voice

I began teaching informally to other musicians as part of my music practice, and found that I had a love of passing on what I've learned. I began teaching voice and beginning piano in 2019, and have kept it up ever since. I have taught pre-K children through adult professionals, with every age and skill level in between. In voice lessons I allow students to pick repertoire - you should learn what inspires you! - and help them identify techniques that can be used to develop their unique voice. Read More

Cole T

Instruments: Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Hi everyone! My name is Cole and I've always had a great passion for music. In elementary school, I played violin and trumpet, later switching to baritone and euphonium in middle school. It wasn't until high school that I finally landed on guitar after my best friend bought me a cheap Stratocaster for my birthday. I graduated from the University of the Pacific with a Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy and a minor in Psychology back in 2022. Read More

Patrick M

Instruments: Piano Trombone

My teaching style is flexible. One of my teachers asked me up front how hard I wanted him to be on me and thats something we would go over as well. Its important I learn the personality and learning style of the student. Its important to establish a trust and understanding so as not to take criticisms personally so that we can develop weaknesses and build on strengths. Every musician has different strengths and weaknesses my goal is to help them achieve their best musical self to grow their confidence and be as fully realized as possible. Read More

Rupali S

Instruments: Piano Voice

Hey Prospective Students! My name is Rupali, i am 23 years old and I have a Bachelors in Music from San Francisco State University. I have been teaching piano and many other aspects of music necessary to be a good musician and performer for 4 years now. I have watched my student's musical abilities grow throughout the years and am very proud of their progress. I have a passion for music and like to challenge students, but at your own pace.

Christian L

Instruments: Drums Latin Percussion Keyboard

It is vitally important that the environment of learning the drums be fun and comfortable. Nobody likes to come to a lesson stressed and nervous. This is not an audition, trust me, I've been in many of those and those are really stressful. Learning drums is going to be exciting, repertoire, and addicting, a good type of addict. Not only do I look forward to teaching a student how to play drums with me, but also learning at home with their own kit or practicing on a drum pad. Read More

Sungmin L

Instruments: Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I started to teach during my studies at Eastman. With the help of my YouTube channel, I was able to have the opportunity to teach fans who had wanted to learn with me. Since these fans were all around the world, I had to teach them with the use of Skype. Then and there, I had started to teach fans of all ages online. I also had the opportunity to teach guitar to locals of my hometown in Texas where I met up with people of all ages and taught one on one private lessons. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
After you release a work of music, you're not in control of how people react to it. The works that go unnoticed by the majority of my viewers can sometimes be the ones that I'm most proud of, even if to the outside opinion it seems as if they are "unsuccessful". Throughout someone's career in any particular field, there will always be ups and downs. It's important to always keep yourself grounded and true to yourself because it can be easy to lose sight early on when success doesn't come your way at first.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Varies depending on student. For beginners, I like to

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
New Divide by Linkin Park. I've never seen any vocalist perform that song with as much power as Chester Bennington had.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I were not a muscian, I would probably look towards a career in business and finance. My father has had success in this industry, so I have the advantage of learning from someone with qualified experience. The knowledge I have already gained as a musician can even be beneficial towards long term career goals such as those. I feel fortunate enough that my skills and accomplishments as a musician have already led me to a point where I can see the bigger picture of life, but I think it's important to develop a career in an industry in which you already understand the requirements for success.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My musical roots are based in rock, blues, and jazz, but as a musician, I try not to trap myself in the shortcomings and limitations that genres inherently provide. While studying the engineering side of music in school, I developed the respect and admiration for the production of electronic and pop music, these genres of music are as influential if not more influential today than "classic rock" and in terms of physical performance, they require little to no expertise in that field in order to create music on the same level of quality that the professionals do. With the combination of all these different influences, my sensibility as a musician I feel is not only modern, but diverse as well, so it is difficult to name a favorite genre.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
My introduction into the world of music was from the natural inclination to write music, so playing piano, guitar, bass, and eventually music production all came to

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I'm the only musician in my family that I know of.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I realized someone would pay me for the thing I was already doing for fun.

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.
