Nick J

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums

I started teaching towards the end of high school and continued in college and beyond! I found it beneficial to be teaching students while still being a student myself. Having great teachers in my life has shaped my own approach to teaching. I discovered that when I was able to study what I was truly excited about, my capacity to learn and improve my craft increased exponentially! To that end, I encourage students to bring in original material as well as "covers" that they are interested in to build a repertoire. Read More

Joshua H

Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Keyboard

For drumset students, I usually start out with basic patterns and grooves that they can play to their favorite music. That way they really start to get into it. After we have established a bit of rapport, I will go into technique and see what their tolerance is for more intensive practice and more in depth techniques, all the while trying to keep things light and fun. While technique is important, we would like to make sure the student stays interested in the material and keep their attention with engaging material. Read More

Willis M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute

My approach to teaching is very "person-centered"- in that I will adapt to the needs of the student. I do not have one stuanch approach in teaching music. I want to help students engage early on in "Music Experiences"- not just learning scales, but truly playing music with me, improvising, and enjoying themsevles. This sort of music work really formsm the bedrock of my music lesson and music therapy practice. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Caroline G

Instruments: Violin

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes! My family inspired me! More precisely, my two brothers inspired me! It made me beam with excitement to listen to them play their saxophone and trumpet in middle school and when they came home from practice I felt honored to reach up for their mouthpiece and take a try! My parents upon suggestion from my brother brought home a violin one day and badda bing badda boom—I began.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my instrument simply because I was entirely enamored with the creative force speaking through my older brothers when they played their saxophone and their trumpet. I was 3 and a half when I began playing so I chose the violin due to limited access to an instrument that I could actually begin at such a young age due to my physical size! It was for me either the piano or violin and I chose the violin! I later fell in love with the cello however never began it! Some of my good friends play this beautiful instrument so I am able to enjoy it vicariously through them!

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Playing in the Concertebouw Concert Hall in Amsterdam was a highlight as well as with The Cleveland Orchestra! Growing up in a family of music lovers and then moving away to Cleveland and eventually Boston, I was really excited to study with Doald Weilerstein at the New England Conservatory where my first investigations of the inner depths of music and what it meant to be a person began to erupt loudly and sensually. I developed a passion for yoga and Eastern religions and investigated simply out of passion brilliant writers of psychology, philosophy and political philosophy! I love playing chamber music and had a really wonderful time crafting my own quartet time out as well and participating in chamber music adventures like the Masterclass with the Takacs Quartet at Carnegie Hall as well as explorations for and beyond chamber music into life itself at places like Marlboro and Yellow Barn both creatively gifted nooks dedicated to the art of chamber music in the Western Classical Tradition located in tiny towns of Vermont.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have spent most of my lifetime soloing that I have not had time to teach privately but one student here and there and yet have been a guest artist for many masterclasses and have given as much as possible to people through lecture programs and Various educational outreach venues! I have had a lot of fun doing this and sharing the gift of music in this special way! I know that for me, masterclasses are a wonderful way into a world of an artist that one does not know and in order to learn how they developed as an artist and their particular teaching methods, sometimes a masterclass gives what a private lesson cannot ... well always.. in that it is a basic sketch of the artist and their exstensive musical background and utilization of their brain in a frame of a moment.

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.
