Anthony G

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Banjo Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I began teaching in my college days, when I would help friends learn different instruments. My experience includes working at School of Rock Red Bank, where I taught guitar, drums and bass. I encourage my students to develop their own musical tastes and to learn music as a language. As a songwriter, I think that it is always a good idea for students of any level to pursue their own compositional goals. Read More

James S

Instruments: Piano Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I have been teaching kids from 5 to adults age 72 in New Jersey for 20 years, and just love it. I try to impart the joy of performing I learned in concert to the hearts and hands of my students. I also try to inspire them to bring their own songs, personality and ideas to the table, as their is no greater motivator to practice and perform. I point to their hearts, as that is where their joy comes from. Read More

Jose C

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I began learning classical piano when I was around 9 years old. By the time I was 15, in addition to learning guitar and drums, I was the musical co-director, along with my sister, at the church my family attends. At 17 I switched focus to Jazz which I continued to study through university, Jazz piano being the concentration of my music major. In addition to this I've written and recorded several guitar compositions, as well written and music directed for musical theater productions both at school and professionally. Read More

Gregg D

Instruments: Piano Guitar Organ Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My name is Gregg, I like to define music as aural changes over time, a change people listen to regardless of their personal styles. The teaching of music is then a transmittal of a new language with all its nuances. It is these changes that first attracted me to music. I really started my career in music at a concert for a whole high school. I "reached the wall" and went over it, all my playing seemed effortless and still in sync with the rest of that venue.

Andy K

Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Harmonica Banjo Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Because I teach a variety of instruments and styles, each of my lessons is completely customized to each student. While progressing towards a Masters of Education degree, I learned the absolute importance of addressing different learning styles, and working one-on-one with music students gives me the perfect chance to do just that. I develop materials that best address each students style, and prefer to explore music that each particular student personally loves. Read More

Jazz Scales: The Bebop Scale

...downbeats in the first measure, but then you hit all the wrong chord tones on downbeats in the second measure. The bebop scale provides the solution to this problem. You just add one extra note to each respective scale and then you can play it forever and ever without ever hitting a ‘wrong’ note on a downbeat.       The dominant bebop scale (usually just referred to as the bebop scale) adds a chromatic passing tone between the b7 and the 1. The major bebop scale (less commonly taught, but still frequently used) adds a chromatic passing tone between chord tones 5 and 6.... Read More

...musicians new to playing the guitar, but don’t fret! We’re going to walk you through it with some helpful tips and exercises.   Alternate Picking   Before we talk about how to read strumming patterns or rhythmic notation, we absolutely have to talk alternate picking. Alternate picking is when you alternate between picking up and down. When you play a warmup or scale, you naturally begin by picking straight down, but many beginning guitar students pick back up while returning to the down position again. Not alternatively picking isn’t just bad technique, it’s a waste of energy. The faster you employ a smart ... Read More

Guitar Maintenance: Keeping Your Guitar in Top Shape

...that you put it in a case resting in a dry room. I’ve seen so many young students and their parents show up to a guitar lesson with a beautiful new guitar only to find out that they didn’t buy a case. Guitars are incredibly fragile instruments, and they need to be stored in hard or soft cases when they aren’t being played. Stray guitars lying around without cases are at risk of being broken or destroyed by household pets, young children, or clumsy adults.   It doesn’t take much time, energy, or discipline to keep a guitar in its case or ...
