Asher M

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Hi! I'm Asher. I'm a lifelong musician. It's who I am; playing guitar is a language to me, and one in which I often feel more fluent than my native tongue. I've been teaching private and group lessons for over ten years. I've been fortunate enough to perform, both solo and with bands, all over the world. I've led groups of talented musicians to perform original music from Jerusalem to Tokyo, toured the United States multiple times, and have recorded and produced over 1,000 songs in my lifetime.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Keyboard Electric Guitar

I try to make sure every lesson is upbeat, fun, high energy, and very focused. I use musical exercises, games, visuals and online media to ensure a fun atmosphere. I also implement awards to acknowledge accomplishments, particularly when a student reaches milestones or achievements that we clearly define during the beginning stages of lessons. Performance practice is another key element of my teaching style as I incorporate elements of live performances which helps the student prepare. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

My goal is to develop a personal and holistic plan to teach each student. I do not believe in nor was a I a product of 'one size fits all' teaching. Music is a very personal and rewarding lifelong journey and I take special interest in developing each student's love for music and his or her instrument. Read More

Jordan L

Instruments: Guitar

Students that work with me start with a free 30 minute consultation either at my studio or over Skype. The student and I meet, I ask a lot of questions, and then at the end of the session I provide the student with a long-term and short-term curriculum plan. If, after the consultation, the student decides to take a slot, I provide them with an assignment to complete before our next lesson. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Harmonica Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

As an educator, it is important for me to not only see my students learn and become better musicians, but thrive and have a good time doing so. For a student to learn music, they have to not only want to learn the instrument, but be inspired. Because of this, I will be lenient with the amount of work and the amount of practice required, as to be flexible with the students schedule and choices. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet French Horn Oboe Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I am a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and helping plant and grow a love for music. I got a degree in music from NOVA Community College in 2012 and am working on my BM from George Mason in Music Education. Right now, I perform all over the NOVA area with many community bands, a personal sax quartet, and I am even a part of a Balalaika Symphony Orchestra. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Flute Drums Piccolo Acoustic Guitar

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I believe the most valuable thing that I have learned from teaching music is that you can actually practice "practicing." The way you practice is the way you perform, so I stress during my lessons that one should be playing the same way one will practice alone. A lot of the kids I teach really like to play fast, but I emphasize over and over that playing fast is not nearly as important as playing correctly. Any of my students would attest that I am constantly fixing their posture and technique. I also love to emphasize that you don't always need your instrument to be able to practice it. One can get a lot of valuable practice in just by playing drum patterns on one's lap or figuring out flute runs with a pencil!

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Sign up for a trial! It can't hurt. I have taught some really young kids, the youngest of the bunch being 4 and 5 year-olds; Sometimes they aren't even psychically big enough to sit behind a drum set or hold a guitar. Whether or not they are ready - I have discovered that it really depends on the child. At School of Rock, we have some tiny kids who can absolutely shred on their instrument and are way ahead of the curve, but I have also had a four-year-old in lessons who I just couldn't get to listen to me and only wanted to bang on drums without learning anything. The important thing is that the teacher (me) and the parent (you) are communicating honestly. I don't want to waste anybody's time or money!

When will I start to see results?
If you are a true beginner, I guarantee you will see results by the end of the trial lesson. The reason such a high percentage of my trials sign up for lessons is because I am very good at helping my students to realize any and all accomplishments they have made. By the end of my trial, the student should be able to play a basic rock beat, and it always fills me with joy to see the excitement that comes with learning this - any age. I am teaching some kids who are brand new to the instrument, have only had three or four lessons, and can already play through a whole song.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing to master on any instrument is true, uninhibited creative expression. To be able to have an idea and express it through music the same way you would through language. When I jam with other musicians, we are constantly picking up on each other's ideas and if nobody's ego gets in the way we create a time and space that is a true combination of everyone's energy. That being said, there are always very technical things that one can learn on an instrument to achieve mastery. One of the ways I have been attempting to master drums is by listening to songs with challenging parts, figuring them out, notating them, and then learning the whole thing. It is no easy task!

Ten Tour Tips For Bands Hitting The Road This Summer

...weekend tours to get a feel for playing on the road. And if you’re already familiar with touring, try keeping your time out on the road down to one or two weeks at a time.   There’s a hidden cost to being out on the road all the time, and relationships often get strained when a band is gone for too long at a time. Being away from a job for too long also has the potential of hurting you or your bandmates financially. Rather than planning to be gone the entire summer or fall, try focusing on booking shorter...

Classical Music in Cartoons: Disney’s Fantasia

...the heart of Disney’s decade-long run with his Silly Symphonies*–Walt Disney decided to try something new: He conjured up a 15-minute short called The Band Concert.     In the episode, Mickey Mouse played the part of conductor, and Donald Duck and Goofy were among the many familiar faces in the band itself. But although the short film was highly acclaimed for technical reasons, its use of Rossini’s William Tell Overture set the standard for using classical music in cartoons.   Following The Band Concert in 1935 and the conclusion of Silly Symphonies in 1939, Walt Disney decided to revitalize the “career” of his most ...

Rhythm Guitar vs Lead Guitar

...same direction again gets wasted.   Alternate picking harnesses that energy and momentum. When teaching alternate picking to my students, I usually bring up a basketball analogy. For people not familiar with the sport, it’s easy at first to do granny shots, but if you did that in a real game with real players you’d never get make a shot. Learning how to play correctly as soon as possible will keep students from forming bad habits down the line.   Arpeggios are also a great way for students to develop their lead guitar playing prowess. Rather than taking the rhythm guitar playing approach by ... Read More

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.
