Music Lessons in Martinsville, NJ

Instruments: Trumpet

I began teaching privately in high school when a family friend had asked me to teach their beginner son music and trumpet. Since then, I have had the opportunity to teach all sorts of people ranging from as young as 6 years old, to 64 years old. Something I prioritize in my teaching is the development of efficient problem-solving skills. This is such an important skill to me because I firmly believe that if a student is unable to learn and discover things without my help as a teacher, then I have effectively taught them nothing.

Instruments: Guitar

Although I have tutored math and English for the past three years, I am proud to say that Musika will be my first opportunity to teach and give lessons in music! This has been a dream of mine since high school, as I have had such amazing experiences with teachers. I write music and play in bands, which has given me a lot of x22DIY' experience. My students will not only learn about the guitar, but will learn about writing music, confidence in one's playing, stage presence, band etiquette, and the benefits of discipline when playing guitar.

Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass

I like to let a student learn at his/her own pace, as long as they are focused and putting in the effort. If somebody is a complete beginner, we'll likely begin by learning about basic elements of music (pitch, rhythm) as well as basics of the instrument (tuning, right hand/left hand placement and technique). If the student has some experience with the instrument already, we can talk about what music they are interested in and what they hope to gain from taking lessons. Read More

My teaching experience started when I was college student, as I began teaching for composition, Harmony, Counterpoint and piano, also sight-singing for students at the local church and school, and have been teaching some of the students in their home for last 2 years. One of my important goal of teaching is to teach my student that how to enjoy the music and how to tell their own story through music. Read More

My experience as a trumpet teacher began 20 years ago when I was director of the Band Show of the "Los Proceres" School. From there I have taught music in different schools in Venezuela, as well as in the National Musical Project part of the State Foundation for the National System of Youth and Children Orchestras of Venezuela - FESNOJIV. I was also professor of music theory and music reading at the Institute of Arts and Media Training. Read More

Instruments: Voice Music

My style is relaxed, confident and detailed. I am passionate about the music and love to see my students enjoying the art of expressing themselves and communicating through song. I begin each lesson with yoga, strand deep breathing. I believe that the body should be as free from stress as possible and that my student’s breathing should be as natural and organic as possible. The same applies to vocal warmups , where I focus on releasing tension from the jaw, face , neck, shoulders, abs and hips. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar

I began teaching guitar/piano part-time during my teenage years at a Music School in Northern New Jersey.  As of now I have 20+ years of part time musical instruction experience.  I mostly travel to students' homes for musical instruction which helps me stress to their parents how very important practice and routine is in musical studies. I teach a mix of classical and modern music as it motivates my students to practice with something they are familiar with. Read More
