Music Lessons in Viewtown, VA

Instruments: Guitar

I think that is critical to get the most out of it. I also provide all of the teaching materials necessary and increase the difficulty incrementally as the student progresses. The increase in difficulty is both my reward as well as yours. All of my accomplished students take pride in their advancment and hunger for more. Once again-I put a lot of emphasis on your pace. With more advanced students I work primarrily with more difficult techniques, and a deeper understanding of music structure. Read More

Hi! I'm Asher. I'm a lifelong musician. It's who I am; playing guitar is a language to me, and one in which I often feel more fluent than my native tongue. I've been teaching private and group lessons for over ten years. I've been fortunate enough to perform, both solo and with bands, all over the world. I've led groups of talented musicians to perform original music from Jerusalem to Tokyo, toured the United States multiple times, and have recorded and produced over 1,000 songs in my lifetime.

Instruments: Violin

Teaching and performing violin are two of my most favorite ways to occupy my time, only after spending time with and taking care of my family. I stand firmly behind my belief that the best teachers are performers as well. Not only do I have two perfromance degrees, Suzuki training, and 8 years of teaching experience, but I have been a professional performer and gig musician for the past 10 years. My own teachers always inspired me with their high levels of playing and music as a profession expertise. Read More

I am very easy to work with and incorporate FUN into my lessons. My primary goal is to see my students enjoying music and liking what they are doing. This will get them to work more towards their goals as they grow through adolescence and into high school and college. Since each student is different I try to focus on reading their reactions to the material in order to to determine what they are understanding and what they are not. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

For my vocal students, I start with vocal exercises every lesson and allow them learn to vocal techniques through different vocal exercises. Then I work with my students on the repertoire that they are interested in or repertoire that can help them practice their weak spots. For my piano students, I use many different series (Alfred's, Faber, or some classic repertoire) depending on their level and age. For all students, I will also include music theory when I teach because the students will have a stronger foundation with all of these components, which will enable them to learn better, faster and even by their own.

I began my career teaching music in several elementary schools near Princeton, New Jersey right after I finished graduate school in 2002. I've spent much of my career teaching in one form or another, and recently took a two year hiatus to be home with my baby son. I love musical theater and have been in many, many regional theater productions. I have been the lead or principal character in a number of shows. Read More

I start out with basic warm ups scales..etc.. Then I go into 30 min of song learning and the last hour is music theory and teaching a little bit of composition I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. I will give the parents and the students a report of the current progress i will give them notes and material to go by as well. Read More
