Nicolas M

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet

I first began teaching in Highschool but recieved most of my formal experience during the four years of my undergrad education. During the past five years I have taught for UCLA, Mt. San Antonio College, Gymboree Play Music and in my own private studio. These past years I have taught a wide array of individuals which has taught me and allowed me to grow into an educator that I can be proud of. Read More

Rebecca H

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Oboe Bassoon

I try to have as much fun as possible while still maintaining a high expectiation of performance.  I am, by trade and training, a comedian, so jokes and laughter abound. Most of my students might say I'm not as funny as I think I am, but we still have fun! I am, however a stickler for learning the basics of music theory and correct use of vocabulary. Students won't move on to the next level until I know they have a firm grasp of prior concepts. Read More

Jason R

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet

I have been a working music teacher and professional musician since 2003. My work has taken me all over the world, from exotic, global itineraries on board 5-star cruise ships, to the some of the top music venues in New York City, as well as the homes and classrooms of many satisfied students. I graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music, with a B.M. in Jazz Performance (saxophone). I also hold a Certificate of Eligibility in K-12 Music from the New Jersey Department of Education, as well as a Substitute Teaching Certificate (specializing in music) for Sussex County school districts in New Jersey.

Joseph S

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Music

I am a performer, composer, and educator who loves inspiring and cultivating a passion for music in my students. I received my Bachelor of Music degree in Saxophone Performance from Cal State Fullerton in 2017, and moved out to CT to pursue my Master's degree at the Hartt School and study with Carrie Koffman. I love performing in competitions, as a solo performer, and in chamber ensembles. I've also had opportunities to perform around the country and the world including California, China, and New York.

Rob S

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums

I'm an extremely dedicated and passionate performing artist, composer, and instructor with a BM in Jazz Studies from the USC Thornton School of Music. I love all aspects of playing, teaching, and writing music, but my favorite part is sharing my passion with others and watching a similar passion grow in themselves. I have been playing saxophone for about 12 years, flute and clarinet for 7, and drums and piano for the past 3 years (so I can only accept beginning drum and piano students.) I love all types of music and will work with you on any genre you want to work on while improving your overall facility on your instrument! Read More

Alicia C

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet Music Keyboard

Certainly, here's a more concise description of my teaching approach in music: 1. Personalization: I tailor lessons to each student's background and goals. 2. Strong Fundamentals: I emphasize music theory and technique for a solid foundation. 3. Practical Application: Students start playing music early, fostering creativity and a connection to music. 4. Music Appreciation: I include lessons on history and culture for a well-rounded understanding. 5. Performance: I provide opportunities to build confidence and stage presence. 6. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Nothing is more rewarding then passing your love for music on to a student. Each person learns at there own pace and skill level. With each lesson we will set small reachable and realistic goals. These goals will fit in with your larger overall goals. My teaching style is different then others as I'm able to tailor each lesson to fit your needs rather then go through a strict regiment.

Teacher In Spotlight

Jonathan S

Instruments: Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet Ukulele Recorder Music Acoustic Guitar

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes! I've had a number of students awards and honors. Those include: San Diego Honor Band, New Mexico All State, New Mexico All State Jazz, and received top marks for the Associated British Royal Schools of Music

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
One of the most challenging things to master on saxophone (and many instruments) is consistent control and and sound quality throughout the range of the horn. Every note has a slightly different character, and I believe the difference between a student and a master is the ability to hear those differences and start to create more cohesive and unified sound, no matter where you are on the instrument.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Really important question. If anyone over the age of 8 states, "I want to learn the _____," then they're ready. Some teachers are willing to start younger. I've found that I'm a more effective teacher for students that are 8 or older

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes, I can trace my musicality through my family. My mom was an avid amateur musician, and her mother (my grandmother) was actually a song writer who wrote under the pen name Edith Fields!

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Great question! I actually am engaged in several activities outside of music: I train and perform partner acrobatics and other circus arts, and am an Executive Assistant for business professionals.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
It depends on the student. As a foundation, I like to use the "Rubank Method" and the "Standard of Excellence" books. After we get through those, I start to introduce standard pieces within the classical repertoire, or, if the student has a specific interest, start to work on other styles of music (Jazz, Funk, etc).

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session generally looks like scale practice, range exploration, crack downs (an exercise I got from a past teacher that I LOVE), altissimo practice, classical practice, improvisation, and sometimes tune learning, depending on what's coming up

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Do a little bit everyday. Music is a language, and the more regular exposure you have to creating it, the better. A 15-30 minute session every day is FAR more valuable than an hour+ session once a week. When you practice anything, you create pathways in your mind. The more you practice, the more efficient these pathways become. After six month of regular practice, that pathway might look like a well manicured forest trail. After six year, you might have something like a two or four lane roadway (or bigger if you practice everyday!). After 15+ years of REGULAR practice, you can bet there are some super highways related to music making and expression that have developed. Do a little bit everyday.

When will I start to see results?
I believe that teachers are guides; it is our job to continuously point the way and correct the students course, much like a sailor corrects the course of their ship. If a student incorporates my guidance and practices daily, then they will see results within 48 hours of our first lesson. If my suggestions and guidance are not heeded, progress will be MUCH slower. The number one thing is daily practice. Music is a language, and one needs constant exposure to see any improvement. This includes both music making and listening. Practice, practice, practice!

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.

Ok

Are you sure that's your only availability? The more availability you easier it will be to arrange a teacher for you.
