Instruments: Piano

For young beginners, I like to use Alfreds Basic Piano Library books. The songs inside are simple, fun, and are a great introduction to piano and music theory! For older beginners and more advanced students, Ill use Piano Adventures and The Piano Bench of Classical Music. Ill also throw in a favorite theory and technique book according to students age. My lessons will consist of classical piano training theory, technique, and performance but we can apply this to any piece the student wants to learn! Read More

Saundra A

Instruments: Voice

I have been teaching private voice since high school, where I took on my first 8 year old student. I continued teaching lessons all through college, giving private instruction and theory tutoring to my classmates and fellow vocal performance students. It was there that I found my knack for repertoire and audition preparation; as a board member for the Berklee Musical Theater club, club members would often seek me out to select appropriate repertoire and rehears for their auditions.

Olivia G

Instruments: Guitar Voice

As an artist myself, I know how vulnerable it can be to share your voice. I also know that it is one of the most beautiful and gratifying ways to express yourself. With 15+ years of experience performing, recording, arranging and coaching vocals, I'm very confident I can help you reach your singing goals! I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Major in Songwriting and as a Vocal Principle. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Music

Just as every melody carries its distinct tune, each learner possesses their individual pace and potential. To this end, I approach teaching with the mindset that personalized learning is key. It's essential that students progress at their own speed and in a way that aligns with their abilities and goals. I work closely with each student, setting realistic and achievable objectives during each lesson. By breaking down the learning process into manageable steps, we create a clear path to success.

Dave S

Instruments: Piano Voice Acoustic Guitar

Of course, acknowledging accomplishments helps students feel they're progressing, but finding what truly inspires them will help them want to practice and get better. For me, I found scales and theory boring as a kid, so I wished my teachers would teach me how to play my favorite songs and write my own with a little theory mixed in instead of only learning the theory and scales. I aim to encourage my students to want to be the best they can be and to help them feel accomplished by following their dreams and inspirations. Read More

I play many instruments, and have accompanied and played with very accomplished musicians during my college years. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

David H

Instruments: Bass Guitar

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I already performed it- Portrait of Tracy, a solo piece by Jaco Pastorius. I was asked to perform it at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston for the 1993 Bass Day performances. An amazing experience to perform it for over 3000 people.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a performance degree from the Berklee College of Music. I chose performance because there was so much playing involved and the constant interaction with other musicians was immensely necessary in evolving to the level I sought after.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes, I use a lot of the Berklee music books i have at my fingertips, Also I use the Jerry Bergonzi Inside Improvisation series which is so rich in content that you are amazed every time you work out of it then put it into place on the bandstand.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master is to be able to play exactly what your hearing. That takes hours of performing, transcribing, and working hard where you're able to play exactly what you're hearing.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Soon to be released is a recording I did with some great LA and NY musicians and we were able to accomplish musically exactly what we wanted. Also, at Berklee I was able to play a lot with Antonio Sanchez, who is Pat Matheny's drummer. Also playing with Mahesh Balisoorio, an amazing pianist who has played with some of the best in Jazz. Also I got the chance to play with Danny Carrey- Tool's drummer.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I've had two students graduate from Berklee College of Music and go on to professional music careers. Also students who, graduated Cal Arts, Oberlin Conservatory, and North Texas State- of the best music colleges in the world. .

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I first started going around the house playing a rubber band and singing bass lines, then I had a friend who was a bass player and he lent me an instrument and just love the sound of the bass...

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My dad inspired me to go into music because he was a musician and started me out on the baritone horn, I then changed to trumpet in the 5th grade and my band teacher Mr. Baxter had multitudes of inspiration for me to continue my musical journey.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Repetition is key to forming the musical chops, muscle memory, and complete understanding of the use of concepts and approaches. Also, concentrated and aware practice keeps you sharp and up on ideas, and improv.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
One way to tell is if they are singing, banging out rhythms on anything available to them. Also, if they start to ask questions about how to do things musical I think that is a good indication they are ready for lessons.

When will I start to see results?
Some results you will start to see right away, others may take a week or so, and advance techniques may take months at a time. The results are sometimes difficult to see yourself, that's where the teacher's experience comes in.

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.
