Instruments:
Antony has a lot of experience as a performer and teacher. He has sung with Washington National Opera, Washington Bach Consort, and Handel and Haydn Society and performed over 30 roles in opera/musical theater. He is also a singer/songwriter. Antony has taught at Shenandoah Conservatory, College of Southern Maryland, and the Levine School of Music. He has also maintained a private studio in voice, guitar, and piano since moving to Northern Virginia in 2004.
Instruments:
Piano: For beginning students who are children, I start by teaching out of the Faber Piano Adventure books. I find that they focus on the more exciting aspects of music, such as sight reading. This is different from the Bastion books which I think focus too much on more challenging (and boring) methods such as articulation. The Faber books are great because they have fun short songs that the student can play with the teacher in a duet. Trombone: Practice, practice, practice! The trombone is an extremely unforgiving instrument and this is why the words “practice” need to be repeated many times every lesson. The student needs to understand that in order to get any enjoyment out of playing the trombone they need to practice regularly. Once the student has a regular practice schedule, then their sound will improve and they will enjoy playing. There can be almost no progress at all until the student finds regular practice time to work on their trombone exercises. I practice trombone every day and I try to guide students towards figuring out how to get the most out of their practice time.
Instruments:
I prfer the the Suzuki method, which stresses the importance of parental influence and involvement. Parents and teachers work together to achieve a common goal. Using this method students learn discipline, poise, confidence, proper posture, technical mastery, musicianship, and proper intonation and phrasing. For guitar and piano beginners, I usually start with Alfred's Prep Course. For violin, I use Essential Elements for Strings. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I then start to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance, if students are interested.
Instruments:
I have been a professional piano instructor and accompanist for over 30 years. I have also served as a competition judge for many organizations. My training includes master classes with distinguished internationally acclaimed artists. These artists have been instrumental in helping me master music theory and musicology as well as broadened my understanding and knowledge of music. Numerous studies have shown the benefits of studying music as a child and I hope you chose to consider it for your loved ones. In addition, learning music as an adult has also been shown to have many benefits for the adult brain.
Instruments:
Teaching piano has been a continual experience for me that initially began as a part time venture. For the last 6-7 years, I have enjoyed sharing my knowledge and experience with students of all ages. Each of them have their own individual style that I like to explore in order to encourage them to consider the various musical possibilities available. Whether it's classical or modern, I work with all of my students to help enhance their understanding of the world through the eyes of musical expression!

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.
