Music Lessons in North Massapequa, NY

Instruments: Cello

I started teaching cello lessons 10 years ago in an after school program for 3rd and 4th graders. In this program, I taught music theory and group cello lessons for classes of 4-20 students. Around this time I also started teaching private cello lessons to students who wanted to move at a faster pace than group lessons. Since then I have taught many students of all ages and and levels. Many of my students have started to play the cello with no musical background or knowledge. Read More

Instruments: Drums Conga Latin Percussion

I am an Argentinian born, Brazilian raised drummer/percussionist based in Brooklyn since 2011. I spent the previous three years studying at Berklee College of Music in Boston. I've been teaching since 2005, and it's one of my favorite things to do. The feeling of passing your knowledge along to someone else and see them become better musicians is very satisfying to me. I also work on Broadway, off-Broadway and with several artists as a touring/recording musician. Read More

Instruments: Flute

I'm a flute teacher interested in educating young flutists as whole musicians, integrating music theory, ear training, eurhythmics, and history where applicable. With a background in music therapy, I have a complex understanding of how music and music learning interact with a person's body, mind, and spirit, and I believe that becoming better musicians can make us better human beings, if we let it. I relish the opportunity to get to know my students and share my knowledge and expertise while being enriched by their lives as well. Read More

I'm a dedicated musician and instructor eager to develop ones musical abilities. Prior to attending the John J. Cali School of Music, I began performing throughout the tri-state area as a hired musician.

Instruments: Violin Viola

In addition, I maintain an active private studio of all ages (from pre-K through beginning adults!), and I enjoy problem solving with each individual's perspective and experience in mind. I'm a firm believer that lessons should be tailored to each student's goals - there is absolutely no "one size fits all" method to playing an instrument. In my opinion, being positive and goal-oriented are the most important ingredients for success in music lessons. Read More

Instruments: Clarinet

I've been teaching since college and in my home for about 6 years. I;ve taught generally beginners but am always looking to expand and share my knowledge. I encourage my students to be free thinking and self-motivated, but it is my job to guide you in the process. Music is universal, but we all have our own ways of interpretations the pieces we are working on. Consistency is key, but it ismy job help set good practice habits that make you want to continue and have fun along the way! Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Mallet Percussion

I have experience primarily in Classical and pop music, and I strive to make lessons fun for my students!! (Even when we are learning scales!) I enjoy challenging my students to experiment, explore, and compose their own music. I am always looking for ways to mix lessons up, whether that means playing Musical Twister or listening to music before playing. Regardless, I always want my students to feel good about their hard work!! I have experience teaching students in preschool, and in elementary, middle, and high school. Students of all ages are always welcome!
