Joshua K

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Music Keyboard

For absolute beginner students of any age, we begin outside of a book as the best way to learn is from personal experience. With wind players for example, we work on breathing, posture, and hand position as these three components help students produce a quality sound in as comfortable of a way as possible. Moving into more formal studies, I used the Standard of Excellence series for young children and the Rubank series for more intermediate students. Read More

Luis M. F

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

I use to talk with my students for a few minutes, because I trying make them relax. Then I make questions above the homework's if they understand or no. If he/she do not understand the homework's I use to help them again. when they are ready to do I am ready to continue the class. I am trying to speak very slow and I have very much patience when I am teaching because one of my teachers said to me; "You need a lot of patience to be teacher". Read More

Instruments: Piano Clarinet Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Djembe

I grew up in a musical family and began classical music training at the age of 6. I studied clarinet and classical percussion and later on focussed on drums, improvised music, theory and composition. I graduated from the Conservatory in Amsterdam with a Master in Performance and Composition. I performed all over the world (America, Asia, Africa, Europe) I love sharing my knowledge with students of all levels and ages. Art is one of the most important things in life and communicating through art is one of the most beautiful thins one can do. Read More

Patrycja P

Instruments: Piano Music

For the past decade, I dedicated myself to teaching at the Music Academy in Krakow, where I instructed over 200 students each year. Additionally, I started offering part-time private lessons and have been regularly teaching in my home studio for the last five years. I emphasize the importance of maintaining a consistent practice schedule for younger students, as it significantly aids their progress and fosters a love for the instrument. I also believe that blending classical and contemporary music enhances students' enjoyment and motivation to practice and learn. Read More

I started my teaching career my sophomore year of college while studying the performing arts. I first began teaching at a music school in Greenwich, CT after being referred by my orchestra conductor. After teaching there for a few months i was then recommended by a fellow teacher to instruct at a school in Darien, CT as well as their sister store where I developed a strong clientele. After teaching for the past six years i know that this is my passion in life. Read More

Gregg D

Instruments: Piano Guitar Organ Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My start as a full-time multimedia teacher was with a company called Rivoli Music. I had taught 25-30 Japanese women... It got tight in places (language) but it was mostly pleasure having the students' Photoshop, Flash, then make FLV video with original soundtracks. I had enough experience after 8+ years of working and teaching to become a full-time teaching musician again... I loved showing my original work to the public (C.E.I.G.), and the public to the classroom to studies on how it was constructed. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

The most important thing is to engage my students to learn. Inspiration and motivation are very important factors in teaching music. It's very important to go with the student's pace. I always want the best from my students. I have high expectations and I always get excellent results. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Niloo M

Instruments: Piano

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A small initial segment of the practice should focus on exercises and warm up. The main proportion of the time should be used to master the new pieces. This is often accomplished by focusing on the problem areas. This narrow focus is then balanced in the end as I recommend that they finish their practice by playing the entire piece from beginning to end without interruption. When there is additional time I encourage my students to practice memorize or review some of the older pieces so that they could maintain a body of pieces that they could always perform.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I studied piano performance and music composition in highschool and during my undergraduate studies. But once in graduate school at NYU I noticed that I was more interested in the cultural and social characteristics of music. I then changed my school and enrolled in the musicology and ethnomusicology division of Columbia University focusing on the cultural meanings of music and teaching in classrooms. Around the same time I began teaching piano privately and realised that my academic focus has given me a very different perspective that makes my lessons different from those given by teachers that are focused on performance. That is, I noticed that I am able to help students that are not planning to become professional pianists as I showed them how performing music can enhance their musical appreciation and bring focus and discipline to all aspects of their lives.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
When I was younger I liked to play flashy pieces. As I matured as a musician and a musicologist, I started to appreciate shorter and less demanding pieces that I love. These include Chopin Nocturnes, Bach suites, Baroque Minuets, Scarlatti sonatas and Bartok dance pieces, among others.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I like the social sciences but cannot imagine my life divorced from sound and the arts.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I like Romantic and Baroque music. The Romantic composers made Piano sing with lush melodies and beautiful accompaniments. I also love Baroque music and its keyboard repertoire because I love the complicated texture, symmetrical forms and the dance suite format. Both of these periods provide a very large repertoire of lovely pieces that have inspired keybpard performers and listeners for generations

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
While in graduate school I realized that I love Indian drumming. I was fascinated by the complicated rhythmic cycles and patterns that Indian drummers perform. I also loved the way Tabla players use their finger tips to produce pitches and timbres in the a manner that seemed similar to the pianists. TO explore these further I began taking tabla lessons and have loved the instrument ever since.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
my mother sang in a chorus and my brother is an accomplished classical guitarist.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I started taking piano lessons at a music conservatory when I was in the elementary school. By the time I was a sophomore in high school I started thinking about studying music in college. Once I finished my BA I was absolutely sure that music was my chosen 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.
