Abbas P

Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar

Method or style technique used will always depend on the preference and requirements of the student. It will also depend on the style of music. For example, classical guitar requires perfection of technique for good execution. This requires practice of scales, arpeggios and such. However, if the student is older and just wants to be able to strum a few chords then that requires a different approach where we focus on simple technique and work on things like rhythm or posture etc. Read More

Prince R

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Classical Guitar

I love to see my students reach musical maturity. Therefore, even, a beginner will sound musical after just a few lessons. I always remind them to push forward to higher levels. I always advise them that practise is the key and the more they practice the faster they advance. Classes consist of warming up exercises, then the student works on the music assigned and the Instructor gives it a grade. Read More

Daniel A

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Hi! My name is Daniel and I have been teaching guitar for over 15 years. I started playing the guitar at a young age. I learned mainly by ear from the first year or two, and asked anyone I met who played to teach me anything they could. Once I knew the basic chords and could play a few songs, I began taking professional lessons. My teacher taught me how to develop my ear properly so I could learn what I wanted without any help.

Hamilton L

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Harmonica

I've taught private lessons, group lessons, workshops, and youth music camps since 1998. I tailor my lessons to each student, according to his/her own goals and musical tastes. I like to get to know my students and find out what/who they like musically, then use that knowledge to demonstrate the things we're working on so they can hear it in action. If students want to write their own songs, we apply what we've learned to their songs too. Read More

Julio F

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Conga Latin Percussion

For teaching children, I approach teaching as to the execution of everyday and fun pieces, so that the child learns by, and in turn I introduce aspects of academic learning necessary to create a solid base. In the same way,with young and adults, I make a work placement of the necessary techniques for a good and fast implementation, from technical learning exercise repetitive and daily ices, as well as the elaboration of a plan that involves their daily chores.

Stephen K

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar

First off, I find out what inspired the student to want to play music and I'll get a feel for the type of music that they're interested in. Then I will create a custom lesson plan for that student. There is so much to discover about music, so I encourage setting small goals each lesson. I like to teach my students songs that present many different melodic scenarios and help them develop their ear so that can start to recognize all types of chord progressions, melodies and rhythmic patterns.

Teacher In Spotlight

Caryn M

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Fiddle Music Keyboard

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
When I was in high school I had a teacher who was around 70 years old. He has since passed away, but his wisdom and advice constantly lives on in my practicing, teaching, and performances. He was the first person to genuinely believe in me. He actively encouraged me to pursue music. Without him, I don't think I would have had the courage to even attempt it. I only studied with him for a few short years, but he was by far the most influential teacher I have ever had. He had so many fun and amazing anecdotes that he always shared, taught me how to practice effectively, and corrected a lot of bad habits I had formed with previous teachers-and in so doing helped me understand the importance of playing in a healthy way. He was always so kind and sincere. He called us all his kids, and even encouraged me to refer to him affectionately as my grandfather, telling me the name his grandkids used for him and that I could call him that if I wanted. He was also quite blunt when it came to making corrections during lessons, and enforced me being completely honest with myself about my playing. "You can lie to anyone else," he would quip, "but never lie to yourself." That wisdom helped me to progress so much. Throughout the years I have included so many of his examples, analogies, and sayings into my teaching...one that always made me laugh was "rhythm is like the bones in your body-without it you're just a blob on the floor!" I learned a lot about the world of music through him, and seeing it through his eyes was always so much fun. He is always in the back of my mind when I'm teaching, and I am constantly striving to meet the high expectations and jovial spirit of the music he instilled in me.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice slowly and thoughtfully. My favorite teacher from high school used to always tell me "Practice smarter, not harder!" I love using practice journals to figure out practice trends and get to the bottom of recurring mistakes. Recording yourself is another great tool to use. And of course using a metronome is always extremely important.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
When they get super excited about music! The year I started taking violin lessons I literally begged my parents to let me learn. I was always a quiet child, and never asked for much...so when I told them all I wanted for Christmas was a violin and lessons they realized how badly I wanted to learn. My advice is to always have music on in the background. Allow them to ask questions and encourage them to express themselves. When they are ready to start lessons they will let you know! :)

When will I start to see results?
What a great question! It's different for everyone. I find that with my students it can be a bit slow at the beginning. I want to make sure they are set up for success in the future, so I am pretty detail oriented about things like posture, eliminating tension, and producing a beautiful sound. Once those things are happening I find that my students tend to progress pretty quickly. In general I dislike making comparisons and blanket statements, so I won't hazard a guess with specific numbers (again, every student is unique!), but if you are dedicated and determined enough to get the basics down first then you will ultimately be able to progress much more rapidly and will have a much more gratifying experience with music.

Chord Extensions

...constructed by adding a minor third and a tritone above the root note. A C diminished chord is C-E-Gb.   Just a reminder, basic chords, or triads, are built using three notes that skip every other note name. A C minor chord will always be C-Eb-G and never C-D#-G, because it’s easier for readers and performers to think of notes as thirds.   Extended chords   There are many extended chords in music, so we’re strictly covering the most basic ones for this article. Again, all of the chord examples here are in C, so adapt what you learn here to other keys when you’re ready. Major 7th chords: Major... Read More

Across the Universe Chords for Guitar

...“Across The Universe” was released on The Beatles’ album “Let It Be” in 1970. This masterpiece finds The Beatles at their very best, and it manages to showcase a spiritual and almost otherworldly quality. We’re going to show you how to play the Across The Universe chords on guitar with this blog and an instructional video. To make things easier, I’m teaching this song in standard guitar tuning, but the recorded version features the acoustic guitar tuned down a half step.   Intro   Featuring one of the best instrumental song introductions in all of pop music, this intro is perfect for helping beginner guitar students to get familiar with the upper registers of the guitar. I recommend playing this intro as slowly as possible, even though it’s played very quickly during the actual song. Verses   After ... Read More

Jazz Scales: The Blues Scale

...a video of a young saxophone player performing a solo rendition of “Giant Steps” on a beach boardwalk somewhere. We had to check out this young musician playing some of the most complex jazz changes. In the video, the young musician plays the head to “Giant Steps” and then proceeds to improvise using the Bb blues scale. Pretty entertaining to watch, but also kind of disheartening in a way. By the way, if anyone happens to find this video, please send it to me. I haven’t been able to find it since I first watched it eight or so years ago.   Scale ... Read More

How To Choose A Guitar Teacher

...style. It would be hard to find a musician who was an expert in every style of playing, but he or she should know the basics for every type of musical genre. 4.) Sheet music or Ear training? – a good guitar teacher should be able to use either sheet music or tablature. Also, the recent popularity of the Suzuki method, which focuses on ear training rather than sight reading, has led some to believe that being able to read music isn’t necessary. This is simply not true, being able to read music is crucial, with ear training being a close second. ... Read More

This is your first concert in New York but you’ve been performing all over the world. What was one of your favorite concert experiences so far? Last year I was honored to gave my Paris debut in a prestigious series at the Louvre museum. They gave me a pass to the museum for three days and I saw Mona Lisa three times. That was amazing! Talk about job perks! So, what made ... 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.
