Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone
My teaching experience may not be centered around lessons in a private studio, but it is still centered around music and the individual student. I have extensive experience tutoring students in music theory at all levels (from basic reading comprehension to large-scale analysis of contemporary works), and through that I have come to understand that knowing the student as an individual and understanding their desires and motivations are the key to connecting with one and teaching successfully.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Drums Bass Guitar Electric Violin Fiddle Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
As a drummer, I keep a smooth shuffle currently for 3 different rhythm blues bands who perform around New Orleans' Frenchmen Street and other top venues. I've also clocked studio sessions on bass, keys, violin, and viola. Viola and Violin came into my life as an adult and committed myself for 5+ to conquering the difficult fundamentals of these rewarding instruments. Currently in my spare time I enjoy learning baroque and classical music on piano. Read More

Whether in the studio, on stage, or on TV, Evan W. is an ambitious, multifaceted bass player that continues to deliver exceptional music. After playing several instruments and winning All County and All State honors throughout elementary and middle school, he was first introduced to the bass at age 13. Evan assimilated his musical understanding and developed his keyboard proficiency to further his understanding of the bass guitar. Taking his scholastic career to Grambling State University, he graduated with a bachelors in Music Performance on Classical guitar then graduated with his masters in Jazz Studies on Bass Guitar from the University of New Orleans.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I have about 3 years of private lesson teaching experience. I offer guitar, piano, and voice lessons. I believe that have a good foundation on any instrument can help with progressing in any music style. I enjoy teaching all ages and am used to adapting lessons for any age and level. Music can be beneficial for anyone, not just musicians. I always format my lessons around the particular students interest. I take teaching seriously and am very reliable. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
When I am teaching, I learn my students. I understand who they are, what they need to know and am constantly evolving my practice in order to help my students grow. I am especially good at pinpointing what my students are doing well, creating engaging lessons, and helping them leave knowing what they need to do for the week in order to improve. I like to nest the learning of scales, chords, and techniques within the music that my students are learning. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I am a passionate and motivated music instructor who loves helping students and sharing my love of music with others. In 2013, I graduated from Loyola University New Orleans with a minor in classical music. I have received lessons in piano, guitar, and bass for over 15 years and have had the privilege of studying with several known musicians from around the world. I started teaching music in 2009 by accident. I soon realized that teaching was my gift and passion. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Harmonica Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Lute Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I've seen the face of an 80 year old grasping the ukulele and finally getting to hear himself playing his own songs, and seeing the glow in his eyes like a child. When you set realistic goals and set what steps are going to get you there, all the while celebrating each little victory, every lesson depends on the needs of my student. I am currently teaching solely for the fun of it and the challenge in it, as it is not my main career or main project, but it is something I get a lot from, and I have found over the years, has helped a ton of people get back into picking up their instrument, and cutting out the world for a bit.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Slow is a pace. Slow is better than no. Not just in the speed of the notes, there is more than one type of slow. If you work and work over time, and you gain just a little bit, then that’s progresss. Slow progress, but progress anyhow. Always forcus on sound. If your trumpet doesn’t sound like a trumpet, that’s not good. Listen to your own sound and think ‘How can I make this sound better?’ Always have a musical statement in mind. Don’t ever play an instrument. Play music. Use the instrument to play music. One requires careful thought and expression, the other can be done by a duck.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child can talk, they can study music. We learn music the same way we learn how to speak: imitation. The child just needs to know to imitate, and the rest takes care of itself. If the child is old enough to climb up on the piano bench, and reach the keyboard they are about old enough to begin playing. When I teach privately, I don’t recommend starting below the age of 3 because they need a certain amount of development in their brain to actually begin to make improvements. Musika starts out at 5, and that is a perfectly acceptable age to start lessons. It’s all up to what you want for your child.
PS It is never too late to start taking lessons, even in retirement if you have a musical interest, anyone can play music.
When will I start to see results?
That depends on the student’s practice time. I see the student once a week for 30 minutes to an hour. In that time I deliver to the student knowledge, tools, and a model, for tackling the musical skills. In order to see measurable change, a student must take that set of information and apply it daily, but they can’t just go through the motions. They have to be actively thinking, actively listening, to their own playing, their own mistakes. I will teach them how to be effective practicers, but it is up to them to become effective practicers. The time will vaty from student to student.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My steel band teacher had the utmost concern for high quality performance in our high school steel band. She could always tell when we made a mistake and was incessant about playing in the correct style. She also invoked to us hard work leads to excellence, excellence leads to pride. My pride in what we were able to accomplish in that band confirmed to me that she knew what she was talking about, and that if I took what she taught me in that class with me I will have a good life in music. I use her message in everything I do. Thanks Marta.
