Instruments: Guitar Voice Ukulele Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For the beginner we start of with fundamental chord and note structure but I feel it is important to progress into applying these fundamentals to actually playing music as quickly as possible. Over the first few lessons I will learn what types of music the student is most interested in and will blend the lessons to include both what the student wants to learn with what the student needs to learn to become well rounded guitar player and musician.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My career spanned working with Wesley Stromberg (AGT winner), and Paxton Ingram (The Voice Top 10), MacKenzie Bourg (American Idol), and Andrew Foy (100+ MM on YouTube). I served as the lead project manager at Gramophone Media in Manhattan, where during my time Gramophone signed K-pop acts BTS, Tiffany Young, and Monsta X. I have taught musicians of all levels for nearly a decade, and have helped clients win auditions, gain millions of streams, and find joy in music. Read More

Kathleen V

Instruments: Piano Voice

For students with previous piano experience, I first assess knowledge and ability in order to assign the proper level of either Bastien's Piano Basics or other solo repertoire. For voice students, I conduct an assessment of their individual range and skills in order to find classical or musical theatre repertoire that encourages development of proper vocal technique. I also work with each student to find modern music that they love and will help target their specific singing goals. Read More

Lainie P

Instruments: Voice

I have been working professionally in the industry for ten years. I have spent years perfecting my craft and would love to share my knowledge with others. Having an undergraduate degree in Commercial Voice has afforded me the opportunity to learn various styles of singing, This offers my students a unique chance to learn how to emulate their favorite commercial artists and create their own style within various genres. I have a strong classical foundation as well and would be happy to share my expertise in classical and operatic styles. Read More

Steve B

Instruments: Piano Voice Cello

Have fun. Love what you do. If it stops being fun push a little further ahead and see what happens. All it takes is a little ember to start a fire and I am ready to help my students find that fire within themselves. Its not always going to be easy and they will fall and stumble and when that does happen (and it will) I will be there to show them how to pick themselves up. Read More

Clinton W

Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I have been teaching students in music for 5+ years now, with guitar being my primary instrument. I was initially self taught, learning mainly from the countless forums, videos, and banks of articles and knowledge that the internet had to offer, but that would only take me so far. I then decided to major in music, for which I'm still undertaking, which has taken my musicianship much higher. I use a combination of teaching styles accumulated from my own time learning to expedite my students progress, so they don't have to take as long as I did to get to their goals on their instrument.

Teacher In Spotlight

Mauricio B

Instruments: Drums Latin Percussion

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I decided to learn how to play Timbales when I caught myself learning Latin Jazz patterns and variations on a drum kit a number of years ago. I quickly realized that Timbales have a different function than drums. A different sound, and decided to buy a set of latin percussion instruments and learned how to play them with YouTube, and of course also learned by ear listening to a lot of latin jazz. Later on, I performed live countless times playing the instrument

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I truly love Latin Music. It's very diverse and challenging to play. I always listen to and practice Cumbia, Salsa, Merengue, Latin Jazz, Reggeaton, etc. Latin Styles are always super tasty. After that, I really enjoy playing European Metal, very beautiful as well

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be an army member, I am planning to join the army to continue my education and keep growing as a musician as well. I would definitely be serving the US nation in the army. Will do in the future :)

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I don't have a dream piece to perform and here's why, every style is unique and you can make the most out of any combination of sounds and times, serving any song in any genre. I think it's important to have goals, but not a specific song as a climax of what drumming is

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I stretch, warm up and go back to basics practicing rudiments every time. Then I develop patters and start to experiment with different patterns and sounds. Always with principle and relaxing to the fullest when praticing, to later perform how I practiced :)

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use the Drum Method by Haskell W. Harr as well as Funk Drumming by Jim Payne. I decide to teach with those two because it almost any level of drumming and really make it easy for the student to progress efficiently

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Music Theory and Studying charts is probably the most challenging part about playing the drums, since it's a lot of memorizing and practice at first, also it sort of takes the "feel" aspect away of making music a lot of times

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
No, not yet :) I look forward to prepare students of all ages to be proficient and succesfully develop their talents winning school awards and having their hard wrok be rewarded

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Proud of being hired by local bands in Bolivia, because I played latin jazz and and afro-latin percussion instruments and music. As well as playing for a entire stadium with my church once, they gave us 30 min, and we made the most out of it.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Because I alwyays had interest in playing the drums, since I was 3, playing with a toy drum set and my grandmothers house. I was always driven by beat of any song and would learn how to play it by ear before learning how to play the instrument

When will I start to see results?
It depends on the student, but I would think that within the first month you'll be developing consisting skill and results will start to show. Remember, consistensy is key :)

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had a teacher that inspired me with every lesson, gave me always good advice and expanded my creativity by teaching me how to play different styles of music and embodying the way other musicians play

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If he speaks his native language and understands it, then he is old enough :) Music is a language, you learn to understand it and to speak it

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Consistency is key. Practice always at your level, concentrating on technique and what it all comes own to in the end, making music. Being yourself and developing your own artistic expression is always the goal

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
No, it dosen't. In my family, my mom is an HR Manager, my father is a criminal lawyer and my brother is a boxer. I'm the only musician in the family thus far :)

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was a gradual decision, I decided to continue my journey as a musician just for the love of it. I was practicing 2 hours a day so it was inevitable

7th Chords: What They Are and How to Build Them

... Dominant 7th Chords: Add a Minor 3rd interval to the Perfect 5th interval of a Major chord Example: C-E-G-Bb         Dominant chords are typically referred to as just 7th chords in music. For example, if you’re learning a song on guitar and come across an A7 chord, then that chord is almost certainly a dominant 7th chord. Dominant chords are packed with tension and drama. The dissonance in this chord comes from the included Tritone interval which in our example lies between the E and Bb notes (a Tritone is an interval of 6 half steps).  ... Read More

This is also an easy and fun song to learn to sing over your guitar playing, and the vocal melody is simplistic and repetitive.     “Something In The Way” by Nirvana (D – F#m)   Nirvana’s crooning and sad dirge, “Something In The Way”, introduces a much less commonly utilized chord, F# minor. While it’s one of Nirvana’s lesser known tunes, it’s still a favorite among fans of the band, and it’s a beautiful song to learn and play on guitar. The song is played very slowly, so if you haven’t quite gotten the hang ... Read More

Beginning Jazz Piano: Getting Started with Chords and Lead Sheets

...make sure you master playing simple chord progressions along to the slow beat of a metronome. Add in extended chords and swung rhythms when you feel comfortable. Don’t overthink swinging rhythms. The distinct sound of a swung rhythm can be found all over popular music.   Lead Sheets   Lead sheets, which are also called fake sheets, are sheets of chord symbols and melodies that jazz musicians use to play off of. Most of these sheets are condensed down to be one page and they don’t often contain lyrics. The “Autumn Leaves” example we went through is not a typical lead sheet. ... Read More

Suzuki Performance: An Approach to Playing for an Audience

...When children begin to learn to play an instrument through the Suzuki method, performance is pretty much a guaranteed part of the program. Whether it’s showing Mom a new technique in the lesson or doing a different skill before a group class, a Suzuki performance is a natural part of learning, and the concept of ‘performing’ is no big deal when the child is ready to play.   How Is Performance Presented in the Suzuki Method? In traditional Suzuki lessons, the teacher, student, and parent are a tight-knit group. They work as a team, rather like how a sports coach works closely with the ... Read More

For example, if a piece of music is in the key of C Major and the first three notes are C E G then the solfege would be do mi sol. If the piece is in D Major, however, then D F# A would correspond to do mi sol. The intervals are exactly the same, the pitches are just a step up in the key of D Major. This is a skill most professional musicians use extensively and helps them quickly sightread any music put ... Read More
