Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I began teaching private lessons while I was in graduate school, starting in 2016. I have taught at the Peabody Conservatory Prep Division, Yale College lessons program, Music in the Schools Initiative, privately contracted lessons, Notre Dame High School in West Haven, CT, and finally and currently, I teach full time as Chair of Music and Assistant Professor at the University of Bridgeport since 2022. I have taught a wide range of styles from classical orchestral instruments to calypso music and steelpan. Read More

Scott T

Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Keyboard

My music teaching experience started eight years ago. I go all over New York City to my students homes to teach them private individual music lessons. You must practice five days a week at a consistent time within the day. Practice and repetition and review are major key points for any student to progress in music. Repetition and practice and review is the mother of success in music. The main reason you should take up music is that you love learning about music and love learning how to play different musical instruments. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

I started my musical journey at the age of four years old and never stopped learning music and arts education since then. As a result of my commitment to my craft I had numerous opportunities to perform and record as an accomplished artist throughout the United States and abroad. As an international performer my credits include touring throughout the country of China as a lead singer for the state of the arts Thai City Theater. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I started teaching 7 years ago at the beginning of my college career and I have been teaching consistently ever since! I've had students from ages 4 to 60+ and taught individually, group lessons, and group classes. I began taking weekly private lessons while in elementary school and have had all kinds of teachers throughout my career as a musician; I truly value the music student to teacher relationship and kinds of lessons one experiences when studying music whether it's life lessons such perseverance, determination, patience, and acceptance or purely musical.

Derek R

Instruments: Piano Voice

My approach/style to teaching is quite straight forward. My first question is often how long has the student been studying. Does he/she play another instrument? What kind of music would they like to learn? Are they taking lessons for pleasure? If they are beginners or at an intermediate level; are they taking lessons to become professional singers? Whatever the reason, it gives me great joy to see 'the expression of wonder' when a student achieves his/her goals. Read More

Janette G

Instruments: Piano Voice

I believe in teaching piano students the basics and how to read music to start. I have taught using almost every piano series available. For voice students, I teach technique, do breathing and vocal exercises, and work on songs. I teach basic music reading, interpretation of songs, as well as good techique and diction. I believe every student should site read and read well. I teach how to read music from the beginning to piano students and teach basic reading to vocalists. Read More

David E

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Conga Latin Percussion Music Djembe

As mentioned in my methods, I customize my lesson plans based on my students goals and needs as a musician. I try to balance out the importance of theory and understanding music notation with having fun and working on songs or techniques that the students particularly desires to play. I take the time to ensure that the student thoroughly understands concepts and songs before moving on. Though I also will take breaks to try something new to keep the student actively engaged.

Teacher In Spotlight

Max V

Instruments: Piano Voice

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre, indefinitely, would be opera. Opera is a visual and audible spectacle and the music written for these grand pieces of music are filled to the brim with interesting characters, challenging yet rewarding runs and melismas, beautiful sounds and most importantly (for me as a tenor, that is...) high notes at every corner with some of them being at the highlight or most stunning moment of the entire piece/possibly the entire opera. It's beautiful music and to sing it brings me joy.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I believe I would be pursuing a career in either art or film if I had not pursued a career as a music teacher. Film because I'm a lover of editing and am fascinating with the many techniques that can bring a film to life. Art because the visual spectacles people can come up with is fascinating to me and to make a career bringing that to life would be outstanding.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
That is a tricky question... I believe my dream piece to perform would be either Una Furtiva Lagrima from Donizetti's "L'elisir d'amore", Du Bist Meine Sonne from Franz Lehar's "Giuditta", Che Gelida Manina from Puccini's "La Boheme" or "Salut! Demeure Chaste et Pure" from Gounod's Faust. I wish to sing ALL of these because of how beautiful the pieces are and to sing them on a professional stage would mean the world to me, as I would be sharing this beautiful music with others.

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 a Bachelor's in Music Education. I chose to pursue and achieve this degree because I am in love with music and what it can do physically, mentally, psychologically and emotionally for people of any age. I also have been fascinating since I was a wee lad with being a teacher and teaching something I love dearly, that being music, seemed like the best choice! I am also pursuing, currently at this moment, a Master's in Opera as opera is my definitive genre of music which I love to sing.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes. My biggest inspiration when it came to the field of music was Dr. Edward Martinez of Gardiners Elementary School. I still find him to have been one of the most amazing, talented and knowledgable music teachers I will ever come to know both in my career as an acting singer and teacher. He inspired me to pursue Music Education not only through his love of the field but also his ability to convey that anything and everything is possible if you put your mind to it. He truly was an amazing man.

There’s no way to describe every kind of chord to you here in this article, but we’ll walk you through some of the more important ones.   Dominant 7th Chords   Dominant chords are built from Major chords with an interval of a Minor 7th added. The function of a Dominant chord is to provide tension that resolves back to the first chord in a key, which is typically referred to as the tonic.

We use Stick Control because it is unsurpassed in its power to increase hand independence, in strengthening the non-dominant hand, and in many ways it gives us the tools-both technically and creatively- to play exactly what we intend to. Most drummers and percussionists consider it indispensable and use it throughout their career.

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.
