David S

Instruments: Piano Drums

I've been teaching all kids and adults for over 15 years. I 'm awesome with kids (so the parents have told me!)... I don't adhere to any rigid format. I work with what level and progression suits you, and I'm super-easy to get along with. Also, I believe in positive reinforcement. There are some old school teachers who sometimes degrade a pupil when they're not doing an exercise correctly. I don't teach like it's the ancient Roman Byzantine era, where teachers would slap a student's hand with a riding crop! Read More

Cailin D

Instruments: Voice

With my new beginning students, who don’t have much experience, we start with the fundementals - singing posture, breathing, basic warm ups and their importance, music theory, and simple repertoire. For my more intermediate, advanced students, I will check to see where your fundementals are, and help you blossom from there. My intermediate to advance students will continue to work on breathing, breath control, warm ups, music therory, and will be assigned to contrasting songs at a time. Read More

Tiffany W

Instruments: Piano Voice Mallet Percussion Keyboard

I have 12+ years of experience teaching all ages, performing, and songwriting. I was drawn to education and instruction from a young age, and began helping younger musicians through a local mentoring program, then volunteered as a student tutor and teacher's aide in musical and english programs. I later began instructing private students and gigging professionally while working on my songwriting - joining and eventually leading a songwriting organization, participating in and coordinating programming with industry professionals.

Molly A

Instruments: Cello

I have been teaching for over 10 years as a faculty member at community music schools, as a chamber music and orchestral performance coach, and as an adjunct at Purchase College. My students have been accepted to college conservatories with scholarship, have perform solo at Weill Recital Hall and Symphony Space, had many successfully audition for youth orchestras such as New York Youth and Westchester County Orchestra, and have had individuals receive score high marks at NYSSMA that earned them entrance to All-County and All-State.

Kristin T

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have a microphone and amplification system and would be able to teach students to sing with a microphone for live performances. I have been studying classical piano for almost 20 years. I have also played jazz piano for over ten years. Additionally, I have been playing flute for 12 years. I am currently accepting beginner to intermediate adult piano students. I am currently accepting new adult students in all vocal styles. Read More

Ivan F

Instruments: Piano Accordion Keyboard

Hi, everyone! I'm a graduate from Gnesin Academy of Music, with Master's degree. As a concert performer (accordion and piano) I have quite a big experience which I'm trying to incorporate into my teaching practice. It is always a great pleasure to share my passion for music and art in general with anybody interested! I began my professional development in the Music College of Grodno, Belarus, where I studied under Sviatlana Keduk for four years (Graduated in 2010). Read More

Christine C

Instruments: Flute

For beginners students, I start with Trevor Wye's Beginners Book for Flute, as well as Rubank's selected duets (Volume 1), and Marcel Moyse The Debutante Flutist. Once we have covered the basic foundations of the flute and have formed a core sound, I then introduce solo repertoire that is appropriate for the students. For all of my students, I always like to ask what they are interested in playing, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on any instrument is the ability to feel comfortable while playing your instrument. Playing with stress may cause you to feel uncomfortable and you might sweat a lot and make mistakes. You especially do not want to go and perform on your instrument when you are not feeling comfortable. My theory is that you are allowed to feel nervous before performing because that is perfectly normal. However, when you don't know your parts fully, you will feel even more nervous about possibly making a mistake on stage. You want to fully know your parts and feel comfortable playing them in front of people so that you do not feel super nervous before each show.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I definitely do not use books. I have actually became a really great musician without using any books or methods from other people. I taught myself every instrument by getting a feel for each instrument and getting comfortable playing the instrument. I feel like I will remember more if I can figure it out on my own and make my own mistakes and learn from them. This may not be every musician's attitude so some people may have to use a book if they are teaching themselves to play an instrument. If you decide to learn from me, I can teach you to be a really great musician without using any books. A great teacher never needs books if he has the knowledge and equipment that is necessary to perform the specific task.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
It really depends on the band I am in and also the experience the other musicians have as well as the reason for a practice session. One band I practice 8 hours a week on two different days so that we can be the best band and play to the best of our abilities without making mistakes. However, another band I play with only needs one practice before playing a big show like a outdoor festival. I would say that you should practice until you are comfortable to perform live in front of other people. My practice session with the student will be for one hour and will help the student be a better musician overall.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I don't actually have a Music Degree, but I do have the experience that others have and I do believe that I am just as high up as someone who does have a Music Degree. I don't think that everyone needs a Music Degree to be a better musician. Just because you went to college and at least barely passed your classes doesn't mean that you are a great musician. Some musicians may be better than other musicians that got a degree with a maximum average in all of their classes. It all depends on what you learn whether in college or not, and how you apply that to your musical abilities. If you learn in college everything possible, but don't use that information wisely, you basically learned for nothing.

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.
