Jake L

Instruments: Guitar

I start with where youre at and having a general idea of where youd like to end up. Starting with a framework i like to think of teaching like building a house. What is the foundation of what youre looking for? And go from there. If anything having to do with folk or blues I wiuld start with the pentatonic scale. All things blues stem from this scale in one way or another. Read More

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

I have taught for 52 years all types of music, theory.In addition, Zakke Wilde, Dave Sank and Tony Palmucce were some of my successful students.In addition, I have had two Grammy nominated students, as well as numerous music college scholarships and performes.While I believe success is NOT about a teacher when a prospective student achieves success, it is the student who requires a degree o progress each day to get better and better upon their musical goals.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I continued to teach music at that same sleep away camp for years -- eventually becoming the Head of the Music Department ( Rock Shop) there - coaching bands, leading improv classes, and developing the program. I later enjoyed several years teaching as an adjunct professor in the music department at my alma mater. I have always had a steady practice of private students ranging in ages and experience. Whatever the material be, I focus on finding the student's true musical voice, allowing them to take ownership over their instrument, allowing any intimidation to fade, and therefore, finding the natural joy in playing music.

David M

Instruments: Guitar

I have been taught guitar by ten different teachers and understand a wide variety of styles as a result. I am two semesters away from graduating William Paterson University with a Music Studies degree, primarily focused in music theory. Though I have spent many hours working very hard at my instrument, I consider myself primarily a songwriter and producer and spend much of my time writing songs for my band or engineering and producing albums for other artists.

My teaching experience includes teaching both cello and guitar privately as well as cello in various classroom situations. I like to give students a combination of repertoire that I think will build their playing ability directly as well as repertoire that they are personally passionate about. I have experience teaching both classical music and rock music as well as blues. I enjoy teaching students of all ages. I have taught people of all ages and various ability levels. 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 ...

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.
