I moved from Madrid, Spain to teach and perform in NYC. I love teaching all levels and styles, and my biggest strengths are my experience with children, my communication skills, my stylistic diversity, and my energy. I have performed in the UK, Netherlands, Germany, US, and Spain as a pianist and singer, and bring to the table true performing experience, with a deep sense of what the musical journey is about.

I started teaching In the mid 80's when I was attending Berklee College of Music in Boston. I've been Consistently teaching since then. In 1994 I moved to NYC and had to start all over as I had to give up my Boston students. After a few months I built up a large student roster that lasted 10 years. in 2004 I relocated to the NJ suburbs, & while a number of nyc students would commute to my new location I built up my teaching practice that eventually led to a number of student ensambles & shows that would sell out The Bitter End in NYC!

Kelly Q

Instruments: Guitar

The student begins by learning all seven shapes of the major scale covering the neck. From there, all other scales can be related back to the major shapes, making it easy to remember. I have my students improvise using the scales theyve memorized, which is a fun and helpful way to develop their ear and knowledge of the neck. I also teach students chords which allow them to comp or accompany someone else improvising. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

One of my main goals in teaching is to inspire my students, to make them excited about music. I find that the best way to do this is to work on playing music that the student wants to play. That said, there should be a basic interest present. I expect each of my students to have an idea of why they want to play music. Ideally each student should be listening to music and know what he/she likes or dislikes. Read More

Daniel E

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele

My name is Daniel Erdahl or as kids often call me, Mr. Dan. I have been playing and studying music for nearly 30 years, and teaching for 20. I play and teach many, many styles. I started playing rock and blues as a kid, later becoming very focused on classical guitar. Over the years I have picked up several other instruments including ukulele, mandolin, banjo, drums, bass, vocals, and piano. I decided in 2006 that I wanted to be a full-time professional music teacher, and developed a studio of 60 students a week. Read More

My experience teaching goes back to when I was about 17 years old I started teaching my other friends how to play guitar or bass so that we could jam together. As time went along and started teaching other people how to play guitar and started working in music schools teaching children all the way up to senior citizens guitar. Since then I've been doing private lessons one on one with people. Read More

James M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Recorder Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Acoustic Guitar

One of the things I love most about teaching drums is the opportunity to introduce students to a wide range of musical styles and approaches toward music. I believe that exposure to diversity helps students become well-rounded musicians and broadens their appreciation for different types of music and ways of thinking about practicing and performing. I am a patient and encouraging teacher, and pride myself on maintaining a positive and supportive learning environment for my students. Read More

The truth is, however, that many women are at the top of the field in percussion.   We’ll begin with one of the most influential marimbists of the last century:   Keiko Abe   Keiko Abe’s role in the development of both marimba technique and design cannot be overstated.
