Jessica B

Instruments: Piano Voice

I think it's important for students to learn from all styles of music; but if they enjoy one style in particular, I believe it's important to study this style with them and help them to improve upon it. I love understanding what makes each individual unique; so I really listen to them and design a curriculum based on their likes; challenging them to appreciate all styles of music; and encouraging them to become fluent in various genres, time periods and methods.

Alexandra H

Instruments: Piano Voice

Teaching should be fun for both the teacher and student! I truly believe that the teacher should learn as much from the teacher as the student learns. Each person interprets a song differently and I want to allow my students to be expressive and find their passion for and through music. For vocal performing, it can be a vulnerable experience. The voice is such an innate part of you--no one's vocal instrument is exactly like yours! Read More

Benjamin M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola

I believe music should be a lot of fun. There should never be anything scary about learning something new to become a better person. I try to guide people through their musical journey as pleasantly as I can. That being said, hard work and perseverance are essential qualities for a beginning musician. Simply put, the more you put in, the more you'll get. I look forward to working with you. Read More

Julia F

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Music

As a recent graduate of the Eastman School of music, I am dedicated to the arts and passionate about teaching students of all ages. I am a friendly, outgoing and motivating teacher who will work with each student individually to develop lesson plans that correspond to what they are hoping to learn. I am passionate about musical theatre and classical singing and have a wealth of knowledge in both styles. Read More

Yonatan D

Instruments: Piano Trombone Music Keyboard

Hi! My name is Yonatan and I am a pianist, trombone player, composer, and orchestral conductor in Rochester, NY. Since the beginning of my musical studies, I have always loved teaching others and seeing students and peers grow musically! My music career began at the Conservatory of Milan, Italy, where I studied Trombone Performance and Music Composition from 2013 to 2018. In December 2022, I graduated from Temple University in Philadelphia with my bachelor's degree in Music Composition, and I am currently studying Orchestral Conducting at Eastman School of Music in Rochester.

Phil H

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Saxophone Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Banjo Mandolin Tuba Keyboard Djembe Acoustic Guitar

Yes for teaching piano I use Nancy and Randall Faber's books. I have used all of them. For guitar and mandolin I generally do not use a "book". As the lessons progress I might introduce a book if that is what is called for. All orchestral instruments call for the structure of a book and I augment that with my own explanations. This is true for all ages of learners. Read More

Daniel B

Instruments: Piano

For young students starting piano lessons for the first time, I recommend either Bastien or Hal-Leonard method books. I also encourage the development of aural skills, rhythm, and note reading through games and listening assignments. I develop technique from the upper arm down, starting with muscles that are larger and easier to control. For adults, I cater my lessons and teaching to the needs of each student. I encourage being intellectually curious and experimental in approach to piano playing. Read More

Songwriting Software

...and scales on an instrument like the piano.   This is because most music software programs use an internal or external keyboard to generate sounds. Various gimmicky applications are making it easier than ever before to create music sometimes with the simple swipe of a finger, but if you are interested in actual original songwriting and producing, you’ll need to be at least somewhat familiar with how to play an instrument first. You don’t need to be an expert in technology or music theory to be able to use recording and songwriting software effectively, but having a background in both areas is certainly helpful....
