Music Lessons in East Granby, CT

Instruments: Voice

My love of teaching started when I was a counselor at a musical summer enrichment program back in 2020. I got to work with so many young performers with varying skill levels and aided them in discovering their voice and confidence. Since then, I have begun my own private vocal coaching business and became a singing/musical theatre teacher at All Stars Dance Center in Westfield, MA. I love the look on my students faces they hit that high note or finish a difficult song that theyve worked so hard on! Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele

For beginners, I teach them basic exercises and the fundamentals needed to play their instrument. Once they have that down, we can talk about what repertoire to learn. Then, I will teach them the songs they want to learn, as well as any techniques they are curious about. For an intermediate and higher level students, the direction of the lessons is more in their hands. I teach them whatever they want to learn, while also making suggestions for things that they can improve on. Read More

Instruments: Flute Recorder Music

My first teaching experience was teaching group recorder lessons in my home town, since then I have taught all over the world in many different systems. I particularly love working with beginner flutists and helping them to find their voice on the flute and discover the joys of playing. If a student is young I often suggest starting on the recorder in order for them to develop their skills and prepare them for switching to the flute later. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet

My teaching experience goes back to my college days, when I volunteered at the Artists Collective in Hartford, CT as a saxophone instructor. I began teaching saxophone and clarinet lessons in my home, and music studios after I graduated from college. I enjoy teaching students of all ages. I have also taught Instrumental Music in Schools. I emphasize the importance of practicing for beginners, but I also make lessons fun by making them enjoyable. Read More

Instruments: Voice

The pedegogy I teach is called Mix- True Belcanto. The beauty of this technique is the it puts the vocal registers in perfect balance allowing the singer to apply it to any type of music they wish to sing and not have to be limited. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Violin Viola Banjo Ukulele

My students cover a wide range, from bluegrass to concert classical. The correct technique is, in my experience, the one that will be able to underlay any musical style. For example, if the left hand is flexible and well-formed, then blues, Bach and flamenco all will come more easily. This core is essential, because even at the most beginning stages, the student should be able to play with musical expression. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone

I have been teaching saxophone lessons for about 10 years, and have experience with students as young as eight and as old as eighty! I have taught classical, jazz, R&B, and other styles, and am always encouraging students to find music that they enjoy working on to use in our lessons. Combining the academic standards I have learned as a music major with the freedom to work on music students are already passionate about we can build all of the skills you will need as a maturing saxophonist!
