Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Double Bass Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Sharing the joy of music is what it's all about, but at the same time, everyone is different, so it's vital to nurture and encourage each student's natural abilities and inclinations, while showing them the way to new and wonderful worlds, and skills they didn't know they could master. As a teacher, two of the greatest joys are helping a student discover some of the beautiful magic of music that's already familiar to me, on the one hand, and learning from the student a new way of thinking about or hearing music, on the other.

Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Keyboard

Nothing brings me more joy than seeing someone accomplish their goals, especially when its something as special as music. Setting goals and tackling them step by step plays a huge role in learning anything, and piano is no different. Small goals quickly become big ones as they are stacked on top one another, bringing about a sense of accomplishment from the student - propelling them even further and inspiring their will to bring about further success.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Organ Synthesizer Ukulele Keyboard Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For my younger students I prefer using the Faber method books as well as "A Dozen A Day" for finger technique and dexterity.  For intermediate and older students I introduce repertoire pieces in addition to leveled method books by Alfred.

Instruments: Piano Voice

My teaching experience began a little over two years ago when I began to take on my own private students in my home studio while I was still in college. Since then I began consistently teaching private lessons both in my home studio and at an established studio academy for music. Also in order to finish my degree for my masters, I student taught in two school districts on Long Island for elementary school and middle school chorus and general music. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I am a very experienced piano teacher, having taught the instrument for many years to students as young as four. Currently, I do not accept students under the age of ten, except in exceptional circumstances. While I enjoy helping beginners learn their way around the piano, I am also qualified to teach advanced students and can be of particular assistance to those who wish to reach the highest level.

Teacher In Spotlight

Jill W

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My student Patrick Wilhelm, Baritone, has graduated from the Curtis Conservatory of Music and is now singing as a principal artist with Virginia Opera and Wolftrap Opera Company in DC. He has sung in recitals internationally and has excellent reviews!

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music does run in my family. My grandfather was a well-know Jazz musician photographer. We grew up listening to jazz and classical musical day and night. My brother became a well know Jazz musician and teacher in San Francisco. He plays Clarinet, Sax and flute. He is a recording artist and travels all over the world spreading jazz from place to place. He is the conductor of a Cartoon Jazz Band, Saxophone Sextet and two Big Bands. I travelled the classical route beginning in Jr High School. After my college studies, I went to work with The New York City Opera with The wonderful Beverly Sills. Following that, I started my own Acapella chorus called “Ah-Capella” which performed in various NYC venues. Broadway then was my calling, where I stayed in the producing and casting sector for a decade. i have been teaching Voice and Piano privately for two decades. I also sing in The Cecilia Chorus of New York which performs twice a year in Carnegie Hall. I am a Section Leader with this extraordinary chorus which I have been sing with for nine years.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing about being a singer/musician, is that every day is different. Since singers depend on their breath to support their tone, we must treat out instrument, which are our bodies, with great care. Humidity, cold, performing environment, all play into how we may breathe and produce sound. As a pianist as well, I know when I need to play an A, it will be there on the piano every time. Singers must warm up and nurture their instrument to the best of their ability so they can produce that A everyday.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Look forward to practicing. It is a wonderful investment in your musicianship. It is time you deserve to focus on your craft. Isolate the specified measures that need the extra time. Repetition is key. Set a goal, i.e, “ I will play these four measures perfectly five consecutive times.” If you make an error during the third time, you must start from the first time. After you have completed this goal, implement it into the piece and your practice time will be golden.

Understanding Time Signatures in Music

...  This aptly named song is a great example of 3/4 in a popular music context. This time signature groups strong beats into threes, and many waltzes and dances are written around this common meter.   4/4 “Hey Jude” by The Beatles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_MjCqQoLLA     This time signature is so common that it’s sometimes referred to as “common time”. Like “Hey Jude,” music written in 4/4 is usually simple, predictable, and designed for a wide audience.   5/4 “Take Five” by Dave Brubeck     Jazz legend Dave Brubeck’s “Take Five” is popular music’s most easily recognizable song that features five quarter notes per measure.

Jazz Scales: The Diminished Scale

...the intro is revealed. We now know the construction of the diminished scale and how to apply it to chords. But we don’t always want to just run the diminished scale whenever we see a chord that it fits over. That’s boring. We can manipulate the scale to make it sound more interesting. Think about practicing the major scale. You probably have certain exercises you practice. Maybe you run the major scale, then practice it in thirds, practice it in diatonic triads, etc. You can do all of these with the diminished scale as well. In addition, here are a few public domain diminished scale patterns: ... Read More

5 Easy Hard Rock Songs for Guitar Beginners

...Many new guitar students are inspired by the modern and classic rock they hear on a day to day basis. While learning the fundamentals of the instrument is essential to the development of all aspiring musicians, it is important to show students how these techniques and theories are present in the rock music that inspired them to pick up the guitar in the first place. Few things can motivate a student to practice harder and devote themselves to the instrument better than hearing themselves emulate the songs and artists that inspired them. With that in mind, here are 5 easy hard rock songs for guitar from several eras that ... Read More
