Ryan S

Instruments: Piano Guitar Cello Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Mandolin Double Bass Music Keyboard Djembe

I began playing electric bass at 14 and started a band at 15. We won 1st place in NMHS Battle of the Bands and at 16 we recorded out first album and had our first performance on the radio. By 17 with busier schedules and our drummer leaving the band fell apart and I began looking into ways of doing things solo. I invested into a loop station and got into Jazz and Classical music.

Instruments: Drums Synthesizer

When we get out of our lesson you will have a personally tailored exercise emailed or printed out for you to practice until the next lesson. These are usually pretty short for beginners where you'll be learning the basics of limb independence through poly-rhythm exercises, the basics of stick dynamics to sound good fast, a song to learn or practice to and sight reading to understand why everything is the way it is.

I have loved playing drums and percussionsince I was very young, and I enjoy teaching students who want to get out there and play. I played in band in grammar school and high school, and my high shool experience opened up opportunities to play for local cummunity theatre and local rock bands. In 1989 I graduated from theUniversity of Miamiwith a bachelors degree in Music Business and a minor in Jazz Performance. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I feel I explained a good amount of my teaching style in the last column. I really like to go with what the student will benefit from the most, not necessarily what is the cookie cutter "next step" I learned to play by trying things a couple levels above me and I loved it. I know not all students are the same, and sometimes the parents input is a big factor depending on if they are musicians themselves! Read More

Instruments: Drums Bass Guitar Banjo Euphonium Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Djembe

I bean teaching after studying drums for four years with Kay Carlson. After years of teaching professionally I developed my own curriculum, based on Kay's lessons what I learned of the Mueller technique from Richard Wilson. My students have gone on to win performance awards, first chair positions other recording phenomenon. Reading drum music is of course my method of communicating with my students. This allows me to hand write individual exercises closer to the student's needs. Read More

Tony M

Instruments: Violin

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I feel music does run in my family as I have an uncle that loves to play the guitar. My father also really enjoys music and picked up on the drums. Although he enjoys a pretty different genre of rock and music than I do, I still admire and appreciate that my father was so passionate in music at one point in his life. Although he doesn't really play his drums as much anymore, I'm glad I picked up some musical traits from him and my other family members. It was a great opportunity to really shine and play the violin.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided that I wanted to make teaching the violin and to also make music a professional career after I graduated from high school. Although I was already teaching under class man the fundamentals to music, that really opened my eyes to the opportunities that music has to offer. Music isn't just an amazing passion that I love and play, it also gives me the opportunity to meet new people and to travel the world. Music is a universal language that everyone understands and enjoys and it is nice to be a part of that. Another reason I decided to pursue a professional music career was because it filled my heart to see my students accomplish many things and really made me proud. That was a feeling I never want to lose.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play the Violin, Flute, and Viola. The reason I picked up more instruments is because I love musics and I love to explore other aspects of it and the ensemble. Like being in an orchestra and then picking up the flute so I can join the band and the marching band. It gave my the opportunity to meet more musicians that have the same goals as I do. It was really nice to explore the music world and to see how every instrument works together to make an ensemble sound amazing. Every instrument in an ensemble is important.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite style and genre to play would have to be romantic, classical, and a lot of modern day music. I really like to explore pieces and try and challenge myself. I do tend to enjoy the more slow and beautiful sounding pieces rather then the fast and edgy ones. Also, when it comes to modern day music, that can range from anything in movies, video games, TV shows, and really anything in our time and age. I do not judge where the music comes from, but if it is beautiful sounding to me whether it is from a movie or video game, I will learn and play it and most likely perform it on my YouTube channel.

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.
