John C

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Synthesizer Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I taught music theory and musicianship at Johns Hopkins University from 2007 to 2017. I have also previously taught at Towson University and the University of Arkansas. I have taught private lessons in guitar, piano, composition, music theory, and musical arrangements off and on for the past 16 years. I encourage students to seek out and explore music that they enjoy and wish to master. I have taught students of all ages and can cater to each individual's needs. Read More

Seamus M

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I'm a self-taught guitarist/bassist who has been playing for over ten years. I have worked at a music recording studio for the past two and a half years with artists of all genres. I've been playing in bands since I was fifteen, lots of metal and rock, but some new wave, post-rock, and ambient groups as well. I've had plenty of live performance experience, playing around Baltimore and Annapolis at venues such as the Ottobar, The Recher, The House of Rock, The Sidebar, The Metropolitan, and Union Jacks, among others.

Dwight H

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar

Since I took my first piano lessons as a child, I've dedicated my life to learning as much as I can about music both inside and outside of school and spreading the joy to others. I have been performing consistently with groups since my teen years: first jazz combos, ensembles and University orchestras, and more recently rock and metal acts. I have extensive experience touring, and encourage students to draw on my knowledge as both a studio and live performer. Read More

Randy A

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Lap Steel Guitar Ukulele Double Bass Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I sincerely believe that even the most basic material can be made to "sound good", and I stress this from the beginning. I'm big on playing duets. I'll tend to toss in tidbits about the physics of sound, or how muscle memory works. I like to engage the curiousity of the student in this way. I like to ask students about what music they like, and what they would like to do--play in a school talent show? Read More

Paul L

Instruments: Guitar Trombone Bass Guitar

Learning an instrument is supposed to be fun so all lessons are unique and tailored to the students interests. The hope is that all of my students will find that music adds an element to their lives like nothing else can. Read More

Darius S

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

My first passion has always and will always be music. I have been involved in music performance all my life, from singing in church at the age of four to being in performing arts magnet programs at Hyattsville Middle School and Suitland High School. I formed a love for psychology later in life. Fortunately, I have found a field of study that will allow me to pursue both at once, music therapy. Read More

Asher M

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Music Club was where it all started; from there, I branched out into private lessons, starting with my peers, and later working with references and other community members who heard I was making rounds. In college, in addition to private lessons, I also began teaching grade school classes at a nearby school. These classes were more focused on understanding the basics of rhythm, harmony, melody, and how they interact - what makes music sound good to our ears, and how to use those things for creative self-expression.

Nick K

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. 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.
