Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar French Horn
I began teaching as soon as I could. My dad held piano lessons out of our house and inspired me to teach guitar (the only instrument my dad wasn't terribly good at). I also taught trumpet, French horn and piano throughout high school. When I got to college, no one at Berklee really needed lessons in instruments anymore, however, I spent a lot of time tutoring kids in Music Theory, Arranging and other more technical aspects of music.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Mandolin Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For beginners of any age, foundations of music theory are essential. I am familiar with multiple curricular options. From the very first lesson, however, its essential to be making music and experiencing musical moments to encourage students to keep going! As students become proficient in the basics, I will lean into their musical interests and teach what they love, helping them reach their musical goals and beyond. The goal is to keep lessons fresh, engaging, and fun. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Organ French Horn Tuba Music Keyboard
My teaching experience dates back to my high school days when I began teaching private lessons to members of my church. I continued teaching through college and am currently looking for new students. I have worked with students from ages 4 to 18. My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.

Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Djembe
Berklee College of Music graduate, Aaron M., has been teachings students of all ages for over 18 years. "I love watching young musicians grow into seasoned players and have had tremendous success with all my students. I believe that learning songs and playing music is a critical element in the learning process of becoming a good musician. This is why I bring a powered PA speaker, mp3 player, and (sometimes) a guitar to my lessons for the student to play along with and learn familiar songs. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I'm not opposed in principle to using any particular series of method books, and I can understand the advantages of using, say, the Bastien Piano Basics series to introduce music fundamentals. That said, I haven't found any pre-made lesson plans or materials that work for everybody. It seems like it's best to gauge what book, repertoire, and approach is best for each student based on the first few lessons, and customize the experience from that point on. 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.
