Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Harmonica Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style is student-driven. I want to know what you are setting out to accomplish with your instrument of choice so I can help you to achieve your goals. There are many techniques I know that will help you to master basic skills on your instrument as well as the more individualized skills you will need to excel in your particular style of music. I can't wait to hear about what excites YOU most about music so I can help you to become the kind of musician you want to be.  I do expect students to practice between lessons. Read More

Desiree B

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

My teaching style is extremely student centered. I help my students find the music that they love, and I help them play it musically. I focus on creating a nurturing environment where students can explore, take risks, and ask questions. I meld my content expertise with my ability to read people well and really help them find that path to success that works for THEM. There is no one-size-fits all approach to teaching music.

Meredith M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

I have about 3 years of private lesson teaching experience. I offer guitar, piano, and voice lessons. I believe that have a good foundation on any instrument can help with progressing in any music style. I enjoy teaching all ages and am used to adapting lessons for any age and level. Music can be beneficial for anyone, not just musicians. I always format my lessons around the particular students interest. I take teaching seriously and am very reliable. Read More

Gem B

Instruments: Piano Guitar

I am a huge music enthusiast, and love almost every discipline from classical to pop. I am primarily a classical pianist, and I have been taking lessons for about 10 years from an adjunct professor at Tulane University, but I also enjoy playing jazz/blues and pop. In addition to playing, I compose many of my own piano pieces, as well as create arrangements of popular songs and produce music electronically. Read More

Mario Z

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

My teaching experience started in 2009. Since then I have consistently taught students ranging from 3 years old to wise adults over 80 years. I generally teach in my home studio because I find students benefit much more than being at their home. I make exceptions for those with busy schedules (however I highly recommend having lessons outside your home). Encouraging a personal lesson and education is one of my focuses as it tends to help the student progress and maintain a passion for the instrument and music. Read More

Instruments: Piano Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Double Bass Music Keyboard Classical Guitar

Concept teaching is the most effective for advancing the musicians development. Teaching specific details and then showing how they can be moved and manipulated for a greater concept theme will give the students confidence that they actually understand what is happening musically from plenty angles and the ability to maneuver through the music and instrument as seamless as possible. Taking it bit by bit will allow for laying foundational bricks that will be an anchor for concept building. Read More

Julian H

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Harmonica Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Lute Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I have taught dozens students from over 20 countries about songwriting, guitar playing, singing, lyric writing, piano, ukulele and more. Since 2011 I have played in over 1000 stages, starting in my hometown of Corrientes, Argentina, at first playing on the streets for tips and later moving onto bars, later theaters, and now touring full time. Teaching has always been something I have gravitated towards, specially after several requests from my listeners. I have ample examples of frustrated or disillusioned kids and adults that left my classes with their heads held high, because they finally felt they were moving another more step towards their musical goals.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The most important things to remember about practicing are consistency and joy. I treat my instruments like pets, in that they are a part of my life every day and I love them, and the more attention I give them the more they will love me in return. I focus on starting a practice session with something I enjoy and am motivated to learn and then zero in on the weak points of the piece and from that decide what mechanical things I need to practice, like scales or bowing or picking exercise or drum rudiments. My rule of thumb is that 10 min per day of practice means you are not getting worse, and 30 min or more is where you start improving. I also give myself the freedom to jump between different pieces of music as I get tired of one. It's important to enjoy the process of practicing and improving.

When will I start to see results?
It depends on what results you are looking for, and I would say about two weeks of practicing 30 minutes a day is when you will start to see the beginning results. There are good videos on youtube showing the progress you make with consistent practice but ideally, the process will be enjoyable enough that you will understand how each day and each minute of practicing is causing you to improve. At this point, I see results about 10 minutes after I dedicate myself to practicing a single specific thing. Difficult pieces take about two weeks of consistent practice to play well, and it is very rare that you hit the ceiling of how well you can play something. Jaco Pastorius, a famous electric bassist, said that it took him 9 years to learn how to play Donna Lee, a jazz standard that he is very well known for now

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Basically, if the child is interested in lessons they are ready to start lessons. I think we often make the mistake of expecting children to be very disciplined along the lines we want them to be, instead of letting their natural curiosity and playfulness lead their musical journey. I try not to be too hard on kids and make sure we are setting goals they actually want to complete. I was forced to play for many years and very nearly stopped because of it. If a child has a natural affinity for an instrument, I think they can always benefit from instruction, and the stronger their desire to play is, the more progress they will make.

...remember the ideas you create. Adopting a patient, open minded attitude about the songwriting process can help you curate an environment that’s suitable for creativity.     I also find that listening to new music is helpful during the songwriting process. Like all other artists, songwriters often find themselves getting stuck in a pattern of doing the same things over and over again when they write new music. Try to be mindful of this and make moves to break out of these patterns. Paying special attention to the elements of a song is important, but finding ways to showcase your creativity is paramount. ... Read More

Come back to the songwriting process with fresh ears and begin to listen critically to what you’ve written. You might be in for a few surprises.   At this point in the songwriting process, listen back to your demo for transitions or sections that sound out of place. If you listen back to your demo and something makes you think, “Hmmmm. That sounds weird”, then mark down that section ... Read More

You may improve overall as a musician, but if you do not keep reading new music, your piano sight reading will not improve much. I prefer to have three tiers of difficulty within all my students’ repertory – something that takes a week or less to learn, something that takes about a month to learn, and something that is ambitious that the student is usually very passionate about, that takes longer than a ...

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.
