Sydney B

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I am a hardworking and passionate instructor who loves teaching students of all ages! I graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2017 with a Bachelor of Professional Studies degree in Interdisciplinary Music Studies. At Berklee I focused on Guitar, Songwriting and Composition, Film Scoring, Music Theory, and Music Business. Guitar has been my biggest passion since day one. I love performing live and writing my own music. My songs have been featured on 95.5 KLOS and I was recently interviewed by Nikki Sixx on his radio show: Sixx Sense. Read More

Carlos M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Saxophone Bass Guitar Organ Acoustic Guitar

My love for music started at the age of 7 when my mom enrolled me in a piano lesson. I continuously played the piano and there was a point that I also studied the organ to be able to play as an organist in our church. When I was in high school, my interest shifted towards guitar because of the surge of battle of the bands and I luckily became part of our high school band as a lead guitarist. Read More

I'm a music teacher with 8 years of teaching experience and 17 years of performing experience! I love sharing that experience with students of all ages to guide them on their musical journey. I achieved my bachelors degree of Music Performance at the Schwob School of Music studying percussion, and have performed with wind ensembles, orchestras, percussion ensembles, as well as popular music ensembles. I'm well-versed in classical studies, but love playing and teaching rock, pop, blues, funk, as well as fundamentals of music and practicing on a variety of different instruments. Read More

Originally from Canada, I moved to Los Angeles in 2014 with my wife and 2 young daughters to escape the cold Canadian winters! I have extensive performing and recording experience and am always enthusiastic about bringing this knowledge to every lesson no matter what level a student is at. I have toured with Grammy award winning artist Sarah Mclachlan and have played on the Tonight Show, Ellen, Good Morning America and many other shows..... Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Double Bass Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Perhaps we could make up a new song with the note names. Or for example an older adult who is having memory problems for learning a new piece, but is very good at associating the sound of music with a feeling or image. Perhaps we could take the music in smaller chunks with an image association for each new musical chunk. It makes me very happy to watch each individual begin to understand and harness their own personal strengths during the learning process. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Music

These learners come with their unique life experiences and musical interests. My job is to listen to their preferences, whether it's classical, rock, jazz, or any other genre, and guide them toward their musical aspirations. I firmly believe that music is a lifelong adventure, and the journey should be as enjoyable as the destination. Therefore, I am equipped to cater to a wide range of musical tastes, styles, and abilities. Read More

Instruments: Guitar

I have been teaching since I graduated from college. I have taught indiviudal lessons as well as large groups at performing arts camps. One thing I really strive to maintain is the student's motivation! I figure out where the student's interests remain and hone in so as to keep the lessons refreshing. Read More

Graham G

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Mandolin Lute Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Ultimately it was in the latter part of my senior year in highschool. I had the question any senior had... "What do I do for the rest of my life?", and I had the question "Do I do what I love and live virtually penniless , or do I do something I don't love and make more money?" I chose the former. I'd rather work and work at something I love frankly. I have not regretted this decision.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My dad and uncle grew up playing saxophone in local bands all around Lake Charles, as well as the marching band for their high school. They played alto saxophone very beautifully.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I'm currently working on my Bachelor's in Classical Guitar Performance at the University of New Orleans. I chose this degree because I love the instrument and its music immensely. I chose performance over education simply because in a performance degree you get significantly more music related classes. During high school I worked in summer camps for kids, and the aftercare at a school as well as a nursery for a church. So I'm confident I can relay instruction to students without the education classes. After I finish my bachelor's I'll move on to become a certified teacher and teach locally wherever I can find a job.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Above all I want to perform Joaquin Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez" as the solo guitarist accompanied by an orchestra. It is arguably the most famous concierto in classical music as a whole, and is undisputed to be the most famous Classical Guitar concierto, and for good reason. It is the most gorgeous piece for the guitar, it's second movement tells the tale beautifully of this gut-wrenching heartbreak and loss, while its third movement is inspiring joy.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be pursuing a degree in the healthcare profession, either as a doctor or a nurse. This is influenced because I grew up with both my parents working in healthcare. My dad was a doctor and my mom was a nurse, and they came home happy so often and it was so clear that had an immense love for their professions and that was contagious to me.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Classical, of course. Growing up I never had many musicians to play with and so I looked for music that could be played unaccompanied. Classical music can achieve this easily by the many voices played on the one instrument, and is complex enough to not get boring on its own.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
All the instruments I picked up are closely related to guitar in some way. Technically they're all "Lute-Chordophones" which is a fancy way of saying that the instruments I play are fretted stringed instruments. Ukulele is like a mini guitar with its own specific nuances. Mandolin came from my love of its master performer, Chris Thile, and my love and origins in folk music.

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.
