Natasha F

Instruments: Clarinet

My teaching career started when I was studying to become an orchestral musician at University. I was asked to teach clarinet as a second instrument to my peers. At the time I was not interested in a teaching career. However, 6 months later I noticed that my students were rapidly excelling and I found myself devoting all my time to teaching others and writing a tutor book on how to teach clarinet as a second instrument.

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder

I have enjoyed teaching since High School, when I traveled to teach students by bus. Later I traveled by car to homes to teach, but have only taught in my studio for over 20 years. I find that the lessons are better where I have all of my wealth of music. I try to relate to each student personally, so they feel comfortable, and enjoy their lessons. Some students will respond to certain methods, while others need to be taught differently. Read More

Newton C

Instruments: Violin Trumpet Clarinet Recorder Fiddle Euphonium

I am very flexible in my method; My Teaching Style is relax. I let the student decide what they want to learn. This is the best way to keep each student motivated and improving their technique. I let the student learn at their own pace. Each student will get a Professional tailor made lesson. That is the biggest advantage of a private lesson. I will teach you all I know. Read More

Madison F

Instruments: Clarinet

I was honored to serve over 500 students by enriching their arts education, and was inspired daily by their creativity, enthusiasm, and individualism. I began studying the clarinet at age 8, and graduated from the Eastman School of Music in May of 2017. I have had the opportunity to study at the Brevard Music Center and the Aspen Music Festival, where I performed both with student and faculty orchestras. Prior to beginning my collegiate studies, I was fortunate to take part in the inaugural year of the National Youth Orchestra of the United States through Carnegie Hall's Weill Education Institute.

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Piccolo Oboe

I believe strongly that passion is infectious, and is key to my teaching. I ask all of my student to set realistic goals and treat our progress as a journey in which we will gradually pick up the skills to grow with steady work. This comes from enjoying the “artistic process” and can only be discovered when we move together at a pace that is comfortable for the student. The only requirement I have for any budding musicians is that we both be open-minded and willing to listen using our ears and mind (this goes for me too!). Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Music Electric Guitar

I am a stronger believer of - "if you can't explain it in a way that even a baby could understand it, you don't understand the topic area well enough". I pride myself on being a teacher that can unequivocally deliver you straight-up, tried tested, failsafe methods to improve fast on your instrument, with the aim of expanding you closer and closer to the type of player that you dream you could be.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
1. NEVER GIVE UP. Yes, practicing can be frustrating, I completely understand because I too have been so frustrated during practice sessions to the point where I wanted to give up. 2. Start slow. You are obviously practicing for a reason - to learn and perfect a given assignment or task. Take a chunk of the music, even if it is only a measure at a time and work slowly through it, first establish correct pitches and rhythms. If you are not able to play correct pitches and rhythms at a slow tempo, why would you attempt at a faster tempo? Once you have these two factors down, increase the tempo moderately until you reach desired tempo with correct pitches, rhythms, articulation and dynamics. SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE. 3. The 3x Rule - When you are having problems with a measure/section/rhythm/establishing pitches, DO NOT move on to the next measure/section until you are able to play the problem spot 3x without messing up! 4. Warm Up - Warm-ups are super important and are needed before practicing your music. It is essential to getting your muscles moving. Warm-ups do not have to be 15-20 minutes of scales - work on long tones, slip slurs, scales, arpeggios, technical studies or even sight reading. Make warming up fun!! 5. Listening - Listen to your piece! Youtube or google the piece performed by different musicians and even different instrumentation of the piece. Trust me it will do wonders.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelors of Music in Music Education from LIU Post. I chose this particular degree over any other music degree because although I love trombone, I love the idea of music education a little bit more.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
As you may have gathered from previous questions, my primary instrument is Trombone. My secondary instrument is Euphonium/Baritone Horn. I chose to start learning this instrument mainly because I loved the timbre, or the musical sound of it. The Euphonium possess this mellow yet beautiful sound that is just so wonderful to ear. It also has the same embouchure as trombone so it was a very easy transition for me, I just had to dominate fingerings. I play very minimal tuba, fingers are similar to baritone and euphonium. I also play a little bit of trumpet and clarinet and took 4 years of piano in college.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
No, surprisingly, music does not run in my family. I mean, my mom took piano lessons as a child and can play the instrument very well, but she was definitely forced into doing it by her mother. Although my family is not what one would define as "musical," they have stood by me throughout my musical journey and have not only supported me, but also encouraged me endlessly. To this date, they have attended every audition, every NYSSMA, every recital, and every concert, including, but not limited to, Wind Symphony, Wind Ensemble, Brass Ensemble, Chorus, Symphonic Orchestra, Brass Ensemble, Marching Band, Trombone Choir, and Wind Quartet.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
If I am playing for the first time that day I ALWAYS start with a warmup. Long tones first, followed by lip slurs and then I run through all major scales in thirds, followed by arpeggios. Next comes minor scales- natural, harmonic and melodic. After all of this, I pick a technical exercise from the Arbans book. I work on that for a little while until my muscles feel good and I am happy with the work I have accomplished, making sure that I played through the exercise correctly using appropriate articulation and dynamic. Next I choose to work on either an etude, orchestral excerpt or a solo piece. I spend the majority of my practice on one or two of these options.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
