Angel V

Instruments: Violin Viola

A much sought-after teacher in the Boston area, Angel inspires each student to be their best. Creativity and hard work are at the heart of his method.

Jane W

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Recorder

Everyone can learn music but I recognize people learn differently. I am very positive and supportive, so don't worry if you have not played or sung before. In my master's degree study, I've done research on how to motivate different types of learners: visual, kinesthetic, aural and analytical - these are all intelligences; not one is better than the other. Which style I use depends on how you learn best.

Alexis P

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Fiddle Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I strive to strike a careful balance between classical technique and pop performance. I want my students to have fun and fuel the desire to become better musicians. I use the Suzuki Method (to a certain point) in conjunction with my own method for learning music theory and ear training. I always ask my students what they're listening to and what they would like to play - I'm open to virtually any genre. I also sprinkle in some traditional songs that I feel the students would benefit from learning.

Tigran D

Instruments: Violin Viola

I have been teaching violin, viola and string/chamber ensembles for more than 15 years to students of different ages and levels.

Kailey Z

Instruments: Violin Electric Violin Fiddle

Any lessons that you may take with me are exclusively for you! I will help guide you to a place of effortless mastery, by encouraging you to learn some or most thing by ear, to improvise, to practice your exercises and your technique, and to practice, and to practice. But ultimately, it's what you put into your playing and how much devotion and determination you have to be a musician that will take you the farthest! As a teacher, I think it is best to go at your pace, while also setting goals to keep the progress and motivation at a steady flow. I will be both your coach and your cheerleader!

Quick & Easy Matching Process

We'll send your request out to the teachers in your area to see who is available. Take a risk-free trial, then sign up, or try another teacher.

Buying a Violin

When lessons begin, students will need to acquire a violin. While most adults will start on a standard, full size, many children will start with a smaller model. As a child grows, the instrument will need to grow with them, and this makes renting an instrument a great option. Any music store staff, or instructors in our network will be able to help you in deciding the right size instrument for the student. Renting can be done on a monthly basis, and allows for less of a financial commitment.

What is Taught

Music lessons are tailored to the students specific needs. The teacher will work with each student individually to develop a lesson plan that ensures the quickest and easiest path to progress. While working towards the specific goals, there will be lessons in music theory, how to correctly handle the instrument, and how to develop the students own unique skills. While Musika does not mandate a particular style of teaching, if there is a method you are interested in we will do our best to match you with a teacher that specializes in that methodologies.

Lessons in Your Home

Musika offers customized one-on-one music lessons at your home - a time saving solution for busy parents and students. The convenience of in-home lessons allows you to save time without having to transport your child to class, allows your child to maximize their busy schedule, and provides a safe and familiar environment in which to learn.

Violin Lessons for Kids

Young students will learn all aspects of playing their new instrument. All children will begin to read music and learn how to handle their instrument properly. Violins are a small instrument that can be comfortable hands. While most adults will play on a standard full size, the violin comes in smaller sizes as well and our network of teachers will be able to assist you on choosing the correct one.

Adult Violin Lessons

We love adult students! We have adults who are complete beginners, some who haven't played their instrument in 10 years, and some who are more advanced students looking to take their skills to the next level. The teachers in our network have proven methods to get you the results you desire.

...you can’t earn money. There’s things you can do to increase your odds of getting people from new cities to come out to your shows, we’ll give you some ideas on how to do that in a bit, but because of the huge financial uncertainty that usually comes attached to touring, it’s better to see the endeavor as an investment into your band rather than a fun part time job.

The lap steel guitar is probably the most different variation on the guitar. While it is available as electric or acoustic, electric ones are more popular and there are more variations of them. The biggest difference with a lap steel guitar is that it is not played upright like a traditional guitar.

...since they cover a large portion of the vocal range in a short amount of time and include a combination of whole steps and half steps. The easiest way to sing a major scale is to think of the exercise as a ladder and each pitch is a step up or down. To begin, choose one vowel and a starting pitch lower in the vocal range (ideally the same pitch you began on when practicing octaves). Sing an octave up just to locate your highest pitch, and then begin the exercise by singing each of the notes between the two ... Read More

Review by Paula Chacon

I've always said, "It's all about the teacher." That skillful, effective teacher who can reach that child and ignite her passion, is truly a gift. Ric does that for my daughter. As a former music teacher myself, the most challenging thing in working with children is how to build their fundamental musical skills while letting them have fun and be expressive. The teacher must create a safe, supportive environment, and Ric does that. Ric immediately focuses on fundamentals of tone and technique, giving my daughter succinct instruction on how to improve, thus she can sense the improvement immediately. Ric seems extremely easy going; even when lighting a fire under her sometimes under-achieving butt, Ric never criticizes, judges or blames. He works with my child, understanding her, helping her problem solve, and even giving her the quick answer sometimes so she can move quickly and stay motivated. Ric balances fundamentals with fun and expressiveness, so my child feels as though she can 'play' and they truly make music in every lesson. I am thankful we found a good match with Ric.

Omar is a great teacher as he provides expert instruction AND the right amount of encouragement. He is a professional musician on several instruments, yet he is patient with beginners! He also has gone out of his way to purchase an appropriate book for me, strings to re-string the cello, and extra attention to tuning. I appreciate how he explains and demonstrates exactly what a beginning cello student needs to know.

Review by Dylan Jacinto

Jessie is the finest musician I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I find her overall concept of approaching an instrument to be both comprehensive and effective. Each technique she has acquired has made it possible for her to tailor her method to a variety of ages and individuals. I cannot speak more highly of Miss Jessie's abilities. Her lengthy and impressive cradecials speak for themselves. I recommend no hesitation in seeking her services!

My daughter, Valarie is one of the original members of the Enrichment Center Percussion Ensemble under the guidance of Aaron. He patiently worked with Valarie as well as the other five members individually and as a group to produce music that has been shared and enjoyed locally as well as nationally. He has the ability to seek out the strengths of each student while building confidence. Through his teachings, not only had Valarie learned how to produce and enjoy music, but also responsibility and so many life skills for everyday living.

Giorgi has made learning cello even more fun. From the sympathetic, "It is hard" to the precise, "Be careful about the curve of the thumb" he has strengthened learning in every lesson, without being overwhelming. He started playing a little duet on only the 3rd lesson or so, which made me feel, even as a beginner, that I'm already starting to make (occasionally screachy) music. He has suggested a variety of drills and practice techniques which have also sped up the process a lot. And he has a good sense of humor and surprising amount of patience.

Review by Chrystal

I was skeptical at first not knowing what I was getting my self into.. I am very happy that I forced myself to get into voice lessons because Eli is an awsome voice coach.. Very skillful and he helps you reach the goal you are trying to reach.. He is also very helpful with getting you to open up and come out of your shell and being heard.. I would and I already have recommended friends and family to sign up with Eli if they're serious about singing..

Caitlyn is friendly, helpful and still holds my high-school aged daughter accountable for practicing. She also makes sure the music technique is mastered correctly during the lessons - they work hard and still have a good time together. I can highly recommend her as a flute teacher. My daughter is very happy & grateful to have found Caitlyn as a teacher.

After moving from NY and parting from our amazing piano instructor, we thought we couldn't find a piano teacher close to what we knew. We are happy to say Musika matched us up with someone professional and friendly who enjoys teaching younger students. Thank you! We definitely recommend Kuan as a piano instructor :)

Review by Tuvana

He is incredibly patient and really customizes his teaching style to the child. Both of my children are learning piano with him; they have learned so much and really enjoy the lessons. In fact, my daughter asked to learn another instrument (guitar) with him and is making great progress with that, too.
