Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums French Horn Piccolo Oboe Bassoon English Horn

My methods used for piano students are the Randall and Nancy Faber teaching books; they are among the very best teaching materials due to their ease of comprehension, their logical sequence of concepts taught, and also their practical exercises and songs for the student. My methods used for Band instruments (trumpet, clarinet, flute, drums, and trombone), are the Standard of Excellence books, as they are also among the very best in regards to explaining musical concepts, presenting new songs, and logical progression.

Instruments: Voice

I am a recent graduate of UConn and I'm passionate about teaching students in a way that will give them the tools to be successful in any genre of music they sing in! I've had experience singing in musicals, operas, operettas, jazz ensembles, and have had the privilege to premiere many new works as well! I have studied voice for over 10 years, and still take regular lessons to continue learning so that I can be the best teacher I can be. Read More

Instruments: Voice

I have performed all over the world on luxury cruise lines and have even had the joy of singing at The White House. So, not only do I teach but I have a great understanding of the entertainment business and can help my students to nail that audition and land the job or role they are looking for. My students appreciate having a teacher who understands where they are coming from and that I can help them get over whatever hurtles are in their way. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I am accomplished in sight-reading, ear training, improvisation, performing, transposing, designing, tuning, engineering, mixing, mastering, and trouble shooting in varied settings. I am a veteran. Most of my teaching experience is not music related, however I have given bass and piano lessons before. There are many similarities between music and anti-terrorism practices. Both require practice. Both require repetition. Both require vigilance and attention to detail. As such I feel I am qualified to assist students in establishing good practice habits. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Harmonica

My methods for teaching are directly linked to the desires of the student and what they hope to achieve by learning how to play an instrument. If a student is particularly interested in songwriting and composition, I'd be more inclined to emphasize the principles or harmony, counterpoint, structure and written music, whereas if a student is more interested in becoming an instrumentalist for a band etc., I'd be more inclined to emphasize rudiments, scale exercises and a jamming mentality.
