Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Trumpet Trombone Organ Accordion Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music Keyboard

My goal is to foster confidence and creativity in students of all ages through exceptional music education. I help students to develop a life-long skill and passion for music. Im going to teach; children who already know the difference between steady beat and melodic rhythm, students who do not know what a note is, students who come from broken homes, with different cultures than mine, students that lack confidence (and those with a little too much), the ones that try their best every day, and the kids who do not care.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Drums Banjo Mandolin Fiddle Orchestral Percussion Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Hi there! I am a live-long musician. I consider myself a student as well as a teacher. I believe that music has the power to create powerful community bonds and connections. My lessons are tailored to this philosophy, exploring the music that really moves my students and imparts the ability to actively participate in musical communities as well as communities that transcend music. It's all about unleashing the creative joy inside of us and expressing ourselves through music. Read More

Nicholas D

Instruments: Violin

I am a passionate musician and teacher who loves working with new violinists. There is nothing greater than seeing a child (or adult) begin the musical journey. In 2007, I graduated from SUNY Fredonia with a Bachelors of Arts after spending four years in intesive violin studies. I am fortunate to have performed with many chamber orchestras and quartets over the years. I think my success as a violin teacher is owed to my creative approach to lessons. Read More

I began teaching voice in college both privately and in group settings. In addition, I directed and taught music for two theater productions. I enjoy helping each student reach their unique goals as an individual. I am trained as an opera singer and I specialize in classical/operatic and musical theater repertoire. Additionally, I am trained in music theory, ear training, Eurhythmics, acting, Alexander technique, vocal pedagogy, French, Italian, German, and Greek so I can offer insight on any of these topics.

Piano Music Theory

...If you’re a pianist interested in learning music theory, you’re in luck. The piano and every other instrument featuring a keyboard is basically a perfect visual representation of the ideas and concepts that govern music theory. When instructors teach students music theory on other instruments, they typically use the piano’s keyboard as a visual guide that relates to their own instrument. But even with things being significantly easier on your instrument, piano music theory can be difficult to learn without guidance. In this article, we’ll step you through the world of music theory and how it relates to the piano. But first,... Read More

Piano Technique: The Importance of Good Playing Habits

...that long passages of notes are played with the same speed, feeling, and power. The right and left hand fingers are numbered in piano sheet music: Thumb=1 Index=2 Middle=3 Ring=4 Pinky=5   Beginners should start with a simple exercise to help promote finger strength and flexibility. Starting with their right hand 1 thumb on middle C and their left hand 5 pinky on the C an octave below, playing C-D-E-F-G with both hands moving in unison will help students learn proper fingering and finger independence. This exercise is a great introduction to scales, which require the memorization of fingering patterns ... Read More

Types of Clarinets

...small chamber ensembles, and rarely in orchestras.   Other Types of Clarinets In addition to the main types of clarinets, there are several other kinds. They are not as common, though, and most have become completely obsolete. It is very rare that you will hear any of these.   Piccolo Clarinet, D Clarinet, C Clarinet, Basset Clarinet, Basset Horn, Octo-Contrabass, etc.: These clarinets have varying degrees of use and popularity, but none of them are utilized as often as the more common clarinets listed above. With the exception of the octo-contrabass, none of these clarinets are pitched in Bb or Eb. That’s ... Read More

Types of Saxophones

...brass, there have been saxophones made out of plastic, polycarbonate, and even wood. This video demonstrates some of the rarest models.   Their Main Applications Each saxophone has its applications. In a traditional jazz big band, there are usually five saxophones: two altos, two tenors, and one baritone. Soprano is sometimes used as a double (in addition to flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, etc.). Since the instrument is relatively new, there isn’t a ton of classical repertoire for the saxophone. However, there are still plenty of twentieth century works for the saxophone, including solos, concertos, sonatas, etudes, etc.   The ... Read More

Celtic Harpist Anne Roos

...musicians, harp players or not, inspire your music? One of my favorite harpers of all time is Alan Stivell, because he constantly reinvents the way he plays the harp and how he arranges it with other instruments. As for other musicians that have inspired me, they include Victor Borge, Harpo Marx, and Liberace. You may laugh, but they were excellent performers as well as entertainers. They were charismatic. They brought many people to great music who would have otherwise not been exposed to it. I believe that to be a fine musician, it’s about more than just playing an instrument well. It’s about telling ... Read More

Review by Betsy J.

I started lessons with Elizabeth in person, but then we both moved to different parts of the country. I looked into finding someone local to help me with flute lessons, but few had the credentials and no one had the fun-power of Elizabeth. I could never imagine my flute journey with anyone but Elizabeth. Since music is a personal obstacle I am overcoming, Elizabeth makes learning fun, challenging, and incredibly enjoyable. I would highly recommend anyone of any age to seek out Elizabeth for flute lessons. She will meet you right where you are, encourage you, reasonably push you outside your comfort zone (which is huge), and most of all make the whole flute adventure fun. I decided I wanted to play the flute later in life. While I enjoy music, I have absolutely zero musical ability (can’t sing, no rhythm, etc.). Deciding to play the flute was akin to going on an Outward Bound trip which tests you outside your comfort level. At my age music was/is a huge challenge. I called the local music store for flute lessons and they paired me up with Elizabeth. The first lesson she literally had to show me how to put my flute together. And we have never looked back. She has been so supportive and encouraging and knowing exactly the right tactics to make this an enjoyable adventure. Elizabeth has a wealth of knowledge. I love to listen to her explain music. She has the ability to break it down to the most simple form. Her patience is incredible. Once a year she plays a duet with me and we make a recording of a song I have been working on (yes… owing to my lack of musical aptitude….sometimes it may take me a whole year to learn one song). She is always so patient to help me learn… and then we have this end-of-year celebration recorded to document the fruits of our labor. It makes me feel so good to have her support and see my improvements. Elizabeth is so encouraging. While she is light-years (and beyond) ahead of me in music, she is so encouraging and thoughtful and understands this does not come easy for me. I am so appreciative of her understanding that it may take multiple lessons to get just a few measures right. No judgement, no awkwardness. She will explain things over and over. Also….Elizabeth easily has the ability to help even the most advanced flutist. Her credentials speak for themselves and while she is way over-qualified to be helping me, she does so with patience, humor, and perseverance. While this is my big challenge in life, I must say playing my flute brings me great joy every day and I have Elizabeth to thank.

Review by Jessica

We are so lucky to have found Sophia as a flute teacher for our 9 year daughter. She is kind, patient and has extremely effective teaching methods. We do not play instruments, so it is wonderful to hear our daughter's flute playing progress. Sophia seems to have an infinite number of musical tricks that help our daughter get over hurdles and move on to her next step.

Took private lessons with Luis and saw both immediate and long term improvements in my technique, sound, and outlook on the music world. He's a really amazing, fun teacher, and I wish every teacher was a little more like him.
