Camila N

Instruments: Piano Voice Music

For younger children, I typically start with the fundamentals such as distinguishing between the head voice and the chest voice. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for said student. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in both repertoire and vocal goals, and guide my instruction according to their goals. I will also put input on what I believe they could develop and use that to guide my instruction. Read More

Katie J

Instruments: Piano Voice

For piano- I teach out of several method books- Faber, Bastein, John Thompson and Alfred's. I also implement Dozen a Day for piano technique and Hanon and scales. I use Czerny for the intermediate student. For voice- I work to build a solid understanding of breath, posture, vowel sounds and shapes, singing legato, etc. I believe a classical technique in both instruments is the best foundation for growth into any style.

Temidayo B

Instruments: Piano Saxophone

As an EDUCATOR, I have had the opportunity to teach talented and diverse students from ages 4 to 89 and my aim has always been to support my students in finding their voices across different genres of music and helping them become more confident, creative, unique, and comfortable with any style of music they love to play. In my studio, I focus on creating study materials with repertoires across genres, with focus on cultural identity (that is unique) to each students background and culture. Read More

Stephanie P

Instruments: Piano Voice

For beginning piano students I use a combination of Piano Adventures curriculum and Suzuki piano method. I like using Piano Adventures because it is a seamless and easy way to learn how to sightread. Suzuki is used to enhance performance skills and learn traditional repertoire. I supplement with other sheet music on the side and teach scales and technical work additionally. For beginning voice students the majority of initial lessons are spent on technique and students are encouraged to apply it in whatever repertoire they enjoy with occasional assigned peices.

Eunhye J

Instruments: Piano

I'm an active and versatile piano instructor who loves working with students with motivation and wide-range of musical interest! I studied film scoring and piano performance with recognized pianists and composers in the field at Berklee and earned Bachelor degree in double majors and a minor. In my early age, I won piano competitions in Korea, which gave me an opportunity to perform in Taiwan. At Berklee, my performance study focuses on diverse genres such as jazz, classical, and world music. Read More

Terry D

Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Piccolo

It is very important to me that regardless of instrument, the student learns healthy and sustainable techniques that will last a lifetime. I also foster independent student thought in lessons; it is a real joy to me when students not only progress musically, but as an artist as well. If they can understand music on their own without constant instruction or correction; I know I have done my job. A student that can self-diagnose their faults in music is on their way to being a musician themselves! Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Kavan R

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Fell in love with violin at age 14! Was playing piano by ear from the age of 3. Hearing my mother play piano daily was a huge inspiration.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My natural ability to teach and ability to solve problems for students. My students tell me I have laser vision. Solving technical and musical issues is what gives me enthusiasm.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
It was my 1st violin teacher. She taught till she was 96. When I trace my violin ancestry through her, I become 4 people removed from the great composers Brahms, Schumann and Dvorak. My students become 5 removed from the greats!

When will I start to see results?
Results are within a week if practicing occurs at least 5 days a week. It does not have to be long. Even 5-10 mins a day for beginners can create fluency. More advanced students would need 15-20 mins. Even professionals can see results with 30 mins-1 hr. a day if practicing is efficient. Practicing 3-4 hrs. a day like one hears about in media articles is completely unnecessary and can lead to over kill/burnout.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
1st isolate the problem spots and work only on those. 2nd analyse the problem. Many times it is only 1 note or finger that is causing a passage to stumble. There are only 7 issues I've categorized that can go wrong. If all 7 are addressed Mastery is assured.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If the child responds to music positively that is a clear sign. Do they sing or dance to music? Even for those who are not into music, playing a musical instrument gives them an enormous advantage in life due to the development of the brain, attention, and awareness that ensues from playing an instrument. Albert Einstein played both violin and piano. One does not have to become a professional musician to excel in music or playing an instrument. Some of the best musicians and brightest minds I've encountered have been in other professions, but they played piano, violin, viola at professional levels and in some rare cases beyond any professional musician. It is not unusual to find Surgeons, Doctors, Engineers, scientists, etc. excel at piano for e.g. One of the best pianists I've ever heard was an actuary (Insurance). This gentlemen exceeded the talents of any concert pianist I've ever heard (and I've heard most of the top ones). Also a throat surgeon more skilled than most professional violinists.

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.
