Instruments: Piano
My first teaching attempts are associated with the years of my education at Yerevan State Conservatory. Being the laureate of various prestigious competitions and earning outstanding scores during the entrance exams granted me the honor of becoming the assistant professor at the conservatory. Under the supervision of well-known pianist/pedagogue Armen Babakhanyan I got acquainted with the amazing world of music education and piano pedagogy. In addition, I was participating in a specially designed music program to develop music schools in Yerevan. Read More

For beginning students I prefer to use either Alfred's, Mel Bay, or Hal Leonard method books. I generally stay away from method books that use guitar tablature because I find that student will prefer to read the tablature instead of standard musical notation. Tablature is a good way to easily show how guitar parts are played, but is not useful when teaching standard notation, music theory, harmony, etc. In addition to using a method book, I will also teach the student popular songs, which is a great way to start teaching chords and song structure in addition to keeping the lesson fun and the student engaged.

Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I've been teaching over 25 years, both voice and piano. No one size fits all. I teach each individual as an individual. We start with the basics of the musical instrument. I use Method books which guides the student through musical concepts gradually. The student practices during the week so that we can move on to the next lesson. With voice I work on proper production of tone and breath support. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In 2004, I graduated from Hartford University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Piano Performance. In 2006, I graduated from Manhattan School of Music with a Masters degree in Piano Performance. Performing all over the world has been one of the greater experiences of my life as a musician, and I've had the opportunity to play both at the Zinc Bar in New York, as well as touring the East Coast as several performances as the pianist in the Artie Shaw and Cab Calloway Orchestras.

I'm Felipe Alvarez, a music producer, sound designer, and guitarist, graduated from the prestigious Berklee College of Music. With a background in various music styles, from classical and flamenco to rock and jazz, my experience has been enriched by performing with Latin Grammy-winners and working on diverse projects that encompass both creativity and technical mastery. Passionate about sharing my knowledge, I offer guitar lessons tailored to individual needs and interests. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Flute Clarinet Organ Synthesizer Recorder Piccolo Keyboard
My methods of choice for instruction are many due to the amount of instruments that I teach and the many levels of mastery within each concentration. For most woodwinds I begin with the Rubank family of methods and duet books. I favor many of the Berklee press books for music theory, voice, keyboards, genre studies, guitar, bass, composition, ear training, harmony and arranging. The Schirmer library of classical piano pieces is often used. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Defining moment when I switched from astronomy to Music was at age 14. It was hearing Arthur Grumiax play Paganini's 4th violin concerto. Fell in love!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Currently the Prokofiev 2nd piano concerto 1st movement (the most inspired out of the 4 movements). For violin the Benjamin Britton concerto for violin and orchestra.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Aeronautics engineering and Astronomy! I have an engineering type mind which helps with teaching and zeroing on issues, and helping students solve their problems with the instrument.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes. My mother played piano and still does at 84. Dad played harmonica and loved Luis Armstrong and Harry Bela Fonte. Sister plays guitar and listened to rock, Christian gospel etc.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Classical. Tis the deepest most profound music ever created! Especially the best music of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven. 2nd tier would be Brahms, Schubert and Schumann, then Prokofieff, Rachmaninoff, Wagner etc. etc.
Having said that I have played electric violin in a rock band a few times and found it exhilarating! I play a lot of music from many genres, especially when accompanying singers on piano.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Started piano at 3 and violin at 9. Viola in College. After advancing on violin, adding the viola was the next natural evolution as it allows one to have the widest access to great repertoire. Viola allows one to play even some of the great cello repertoire like the Bach sonatas and Elgar/Dvorak cello concertos.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Performance. I chose it because of my love for music and the violin. Since finding good teachers was such a rare event, I had to learn to solve many problems myself (via books, asking other professionals etc.) which laid the foundation for how I teach today. Many of my teachers were big names who alas could not teach.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
After tuning (violin/viola), it is good to begin playing something for fun to get in the mood. After a few minutes of that, one must begin focused work. I use a set of criteria on what to observe while practicing so problems are overcome quickly.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For piano I use Alfreds adult beginner book I. For very young students I start them on easier books. The Alfreds is easy enough for most kids above 7 and adults. With easier books students progress too slowly.
For violn/viola I use the Tune a day series. For more advanced students we go onto sevcik, Kreutzer etudes etc.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Discipline to practice regularly and practice with Awareness. Many times students practice without observing what they are doing. This habituates mistakes and bad habits. It is the teacher's responsibility to teach them how to listen with awareness.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Some have been accepted on scholarships to Regional state orchestral camps. Others have been accepted on scholarships to All State Orchestral festivals. They have gone on to excel in their professions.

I'd love to learn piano well enough to play at home, maybe also for friends and family. I'm an older woman who fell in love with music in high school.
Caroline
Never learned to play the right way. Know nothing, but can play a small simple songs. By ear. Need to learn music theory and desperate for learning sight reading.
