Curtis H

Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion

I am a passionate instructor who enjoys working with students. I graduated from the University of Massachusetts Lowell in 2014 with a degree in Music Performance and Music Business. Since then I have been living in the Boston area performing, writing, and recording with other area artists. When I was younger I had started my percussion journey with marching drums, and to this day I still have a great deal of passion for the musical style. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Double Bass Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I have developed a method for guitar students of all ages to quickly learn chords and scales so that they can not only learn the chord progression to songs, they can also find the correct scale to "solo" and improvise over them. Once the chord structure and scale are learned I accompany the student, playing along with them so that they can practice playing with another musician and soloing. I have also developed a full curriculum for teaching bass guitar to all ages and skill levels. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Drums

I love music so much, that teaching it too is rewarding. I have the ability to customize my lessons for each student, as they sometimes process musical information differently. To see a students musical goals evolve is the aim of my lessons. It is important to understand the interests of the student, and the ability to teach the right information based on those interests.

Instruments: Guitar Drums Electric Guitar

I began teaching music lessons over a decade ago while I was as a junior in high school and continue to teach to this day. While studying music at Umass Lowell, I taught for two years at the local music store, University Music. There, I worked with a diverse array of students from toddlers to adults, many of whom spoke english as their secondary language. After transferring to Umass Amherst to finish my degree, I began teaching at both Guitar Center in Portsmouth, NH and Zach Field Drum Studios in Newburyport, MA. Read More

Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Djembe

Berklee College of Music graduate, Aaron M., has been teachings students of all ages for over 18 years. "I love watching young musicians grow into seasoned players and have had tremendous success with all my students. I believe that learning songs and playing music is a critical element in the learning process of becoming a good musician. This is why I bring a powered PA speaker, mp3 player, and (sometimes) a guitar to my lessons for the student to play along with and learn familiar songs. Read More

Aaron B

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar French Horn

I began learning piano at the age of three. My dad is a band and chorus teacher and didn't consider it an "optional" skill. I actually learned to read music before english! (I was confused in kindergarten when I found that the alphabet went past G!) Music has been an integral part of my life since then with my elementary and high school years filled with festivals, concerts, auditions and competitions. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Christopher O

Instruments: Drums Synthesizer Music

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The drum set or drums, are believed to be one of the easiest instrument to learn however the most difficult to master. Keeping a B, hands and arms in sink, independent coordination between the four major limbs and then your brain is very challenging. Not to mention musicality. When you finally get pretty good at your instrument, playing with other musicians becomes a whole different challenge.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Honestly, my musical accomplishments are the ones that I had with the people I played music with. Playing on a hit album or song is obviously amazing. But, at the end of the day there’s nothing like going on stage with friends and putting on a memorable performance for an audience. There is nothing quite like that.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I’ve had a number of students come on to Berkeley College of music in Boston Massachusetts. ( One of the most respected music schools in the world ) . I’ve also had other students go onto music schools in California. I recently had a student go onto music college in Nashville. Others have succeeded in music engineering roles as well.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I’ve been asked this question hundreds of times over the years. 99% of my students I replace the word practice with the word play. It’s imperative that students, especially early on, are enjoying playing on their own time. If students view it as homework they may get bored very quickly. Personally, as a kid I would run to the drum set. It was never work at all. I feel that that is the key to success for students of any age.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Everyone’s attention span is different. I can tell you with confidence, after 20 to 30 minutes of sitting with your child, I will know if they are ready.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I never had to think about it. I played drums for the first time in my uncles basement at five years old. It was a no brainer. I loved playing. It was a part of me. It just felt right. Something I needed to do.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first teacher was my kindergarten music teacher. She pulled me aside one day and told me I had a terrific singing voice and asked me to sing a solo in front of everyone. Trust me I was scared to death. Fortunately I was so good, I ended up getting a room full of applause. Even at that young age I knew she believed I was talented. It filled me with confidence that I never forgot even years later.

When will I start to see results?
You will see results after the first lesson. I get students playing as fast as possible.

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.
