Diego B

Instruments: Piano Guitar

I began teaching guitar/piano part-time during my teenage years at a Music School in Northern New Jersey.  As of now I have 20+ years of part time musical instruction experience.  I mostly travel to students' homes for musical instruction which helps me stress to their parents how very important practice and routine is in musical studies. I teach a mix of classical and modern music as it motivates my students to practice with something they are familiar with. Read More

Rebecca R

Instruments: Piano Voice

I began teaching private voice and piano lessons in 2010 while pursing my undergraduate degree, immediately recognizing the joy of helping develop a passion for music within any willing student. I have since continued to teach students of all ages, styles, and experience levels at a studio location, in student's homes, and in music schools. Since I began teaching, I've been most surprised by how much a musical education benefits any student in many aspects of life, whether that be in school, work, or other creative outlets. Read More

Moshe E

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I beleive that the most important part of playing music is the joy of it. It is very important for me that the student will enjoy playing and enjoy coming to the lesson, and have a positive experience of making music. I can notate and arrange almost every song the student wants- and I do it! My students enjoy the privillage to learn every song they hear, with a special arrangement for the student's level and skills. Read More

Justin B

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Keyboard

I have been teaching privately since I was in high school and have never not taught ever since. I spent many years teaching at the prestigious Manhattan School of Music in New York City. I have given masterclasses in universities around the globe. I love to teach music to students of ever level. The progress of a student at any level is incredibly satisfying for me. I make the lessons fun and productive at the same time - very important! Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Drums Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Harmonica Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Recorder Double Bass Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Acoustic Guitar

I can teach many instruments that I have taught myself how to play well and efficiently. I play in many bands and I am always learning new styles of music. My best instruments are Piano, Bass, Drums, Ukulele, Guitar, Percussion, Harmonica, Recorder, Tin Whistle, Mandolin and also Trumpet. My secondary instruments are everything else. I can fool around on Violin, Cello, Banjo and Trombone as an amateur. I could blow into a Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, French Horn and probably anything else I can get my hands on, but I would not feel comfortable teaching them yet because I don't have enough time in the world to learn them and figure out how to play them myself and get as good as I can on those instruments.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet

I modify all lessons depending on the student to best suite the students needs and prepare them for the maximum learning experience. I use a variety of method books, etude books and solos to teach technique and style. Read More

Adem B

Instruments: Piano Guitar

I have been teaching piano lessons in students' homes and music theory courses on college campuses for over 15 years. My first teaching opportunity was in 2002 at the Douglaston School of Music, Dance, and Art, in Queens, New York, where I taught students ranging from 4-40 years old, mostly beginner and intermediate levels. At the Aaron Copland School of Music, CUNY Queens College, I led an auxiliary theory and aural skills lab designed to help students who were struggling pass the main class. Read More

Tim P

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Trumpet Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Recorder Double Bass Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I have used Hal Leonard, Alfred, and more. I see what I think the student needs and I will pull pieces out of a book or exercises too. I create my own lesson plans that are geared towards success in terms of the student's goal. I do have sight reading books that the student will utilize every page. I believe this is fundamental knowledge for the student to know. I also create my own sheet music with Sibelius or Musicfirst, notation software. I also have the student compose their own piece of music and improvise. These are all skills a well-rounded musician should know how to use.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
When I practice I play for about two to four hours. I start with scales using a metronome. I play my modes using one scale per session. I will play them in a swing style and as straight quarter notes utilizing techniques such as legato or staccato. I will sight read a few pieces without stopping, even if I make a mistake. i will sight read a technical piece a few times correcting my mistakes. I will play a jazz piece, melody first, bass line second, and solo last. I will improvise gloves with a metronome or drum machine. I will transcribe a piece of music by ear, then ear-train by singing bass lines or melodies using solfege.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have two music degrees. One is a performance degree and one is a music education degree. I have said this throughout my profile, I love music and I love education. I wanted to get a performance degree because I love playing music. I wanted to get a music education degree because I love teaching. To teach music means I get to play while I teach, and that is the best of both worlds. I am really passionate about teaching and education in general. I remember how excited I was to learn how to play and read music and I want to pass that feeling along.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I do not have a dream piece of music. As a bass player I had to learn how to play many styles of music in order to get gigs. I love playing any kind of music. I play anything from traditional celtic music, hip-hop, indie rock, jazz, and classical. For me it is all great to play. There is nothing better than picking up your instrument and know you will have fun, but also to get paid to do so. If I had to choose I love playing anything where i have freedom to create. Creating bass lines is a great thing.

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.
