Instruments:
I am an enthusiatic and personable teacher with experience spanning 3 decades and 2 continents. I graduated from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where I was a student of Anthony Marchione (former Principal Trumpet with the Columbia Symphony, and teacher of Randy Brecker and Lee Morgan). In the classical field, I have worked directly with Leonard Bernstein on the Broadway show "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue" and have served as Principal Trumpet with the Colorado Philharmonic, the Concerto Soloists of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Orchestra Brass Quintet. In the commercial field, I have played trumpet for entertainers such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Johnny Mathis, Steve Lawrence & Edi Gorme,Michel Legrand, Nancy Wilson, Lena Horne, Michael Jackson, Sammy Davis Jr, Diana Ross, The Spinners, The Temptations, and others. My passion and practical experience in the music field make me well suited to guide students of all ages and help them to enjoy learning music at all levels and styles. My teaching studio is a large, open and finished space - well suited accoustically to hearing ones true sound (important for development) and is complete with audio and video systems to aid in teaching through illustration as needed. The student will feel relaxed, focused and "at home" in this space.
Instruments:
I have over twenty-five years of experience teaching in public and private schools. I have had my own studio since 2014. I have taught several students who have successfully obtained seats in top high school performing groups. I teach beginners as well as professionals. In addition to a challenging course of study on clarinet, saxophone, flute and trumpet, I play keyboards extensively enough to offer instruction that includes classical and jazz. All students are encouraged to play classical music and to read music proficiently.
Instruments:
Seeing a student excel and reach their goals is the most rewarding experience a teacher can have. Everyone works at a different speed, and I expect each student to do the best they can do. I do not believe in forcing a "one size fits all" teaching method on every student. Each student has different goals, and I focus on reaching those goals at a pace that will challenge the student without feeling impossible or insurmountable. I want to cultivate a lifelong passion for music in each of my students, whether they are first chair or last chair.
Instruments:
I love teaching beginners of any age including special needs students. Most importantly, I will help you learn to play the music you LOVE and stay motivated.
Instruments:
My name is Aquiles and I have been teaching for over 5 years now. I received my bachelors from the New England Conservatory in Boston and my Masters Degree from the University of Miami. I have studied with the likes of Brian Lynch, Jerry Bergonzi, Luis Bonilla, Danilo Pérez, Steve Emery and Victor Paz to mention a few. I have performed at major festivals such as the Panama Jazz Festival, Aspen/Snowmass Jazz Festival and many others. Currently working on my own projects and performing on a regular basis as the house band for the Bowery Poetry Club in the heart of NYC´s Lower East Side.
