Instruments: Piano Voice

I think it's important to be kind but firm. It helps to create clear expectations that allow for a student to be most successful. With private lessons, it is important to tailor the sessions for each student individually. Some students require to a "push" while others might want a more relaxed lesson. Together with students we can set goals and a progress map. It is also important to always encourage students in their learning, regardless of what their pace is. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience started in 2011 where I started working for a private lesson music studio. There I taught students ranging from the ages 5-60 and taught piano and guitar. I also worked part-time as a music theory and keyboard tutor at a Community College. I met weekly with students who were struggling with these subjects. It was a great a experience and I also got to work on brushing up my theory. Read More

I am a multi-faceted professional musician and can be found performing all over New York City and other parts of the country.

Robert G

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar

Working with novice piano students, I usually employ traditional method materials like Bastien or Thompson if the student is a child, and Alfred for adults. Though it is rare, and usually at the insistence of a parent, I can also use these methods with beginning guitar students. For advanced students, whose aim is to broaden an already substantial aquaintance with theoretical and compositonal studies, I use the "Guitar Grimoire" series by Adam Kadman. Read More

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
