Music Lessons in Philadelphia, PA

Instruments: Piano Saxophone

From intimate venues to prestigious concert halls, each stage has been a canvas for artistic expression. One of the most unforgettable moments was gracing the iconic Museum of Modern Art l in New York, where I shared my love for the saxophone and jazz with a captivated audience. These experiences have not only shaped me as a musician but also fueled my passion for teaching. I believe in fostering a nurturing and inspiring learning environment where students can explore their creativity and unlock their musical potential. Read More

I hope to work with students in the areas they want to focus on while also providing materials for overall musical development. If a student wants to work on one specific style, be it classical, jazz, or pop oriented music, I will show them the music, materials, and methods required for mastery in that subject. Along with this subject-specific teaching, I will also teach about the history of the flute and all styles that it might be used in. Read More

Instruments: Voice

I assess student and their current level and based on that I decide whether to start with Basic or little advanced etc.. Also I try to understand their objective of learning music, what they wish to gain. For eg. some just wish to learn to be able to perform with friends, some wants to take this up as profession in future. Some just wish to add extra points for their academics. Read More

Add to all that, I am very patient, friendly, humorous, approachable and humble/modest in demeanor, where many other teachers have a huge ego and "God complex", where they talk down to the student and make them feel uneasy and overly self-conscious.

I have taught guitar since my time at Berklee, when teaching was a side-career that I wanted to explore. My students were accepted into TCNJ, Wiliam Paterson, and Berklee. I felt that teaching was a viable path and something I was passionate about. I decided to pursue teaching in higher education, completing my Masters and enrolling in a PhD program with the intention to teach in academia. I find teaching guitar very rewarding, and I love working with students of all ages and backgrounds! Read More

Instruments: Voice

My teaching experience dates back to my college days. I have held a private studio focusing on the core concepts of singing, vocal tonation and breath support since my third year in college. I help my students to find their own voice and their own sound. I don't encourage students to emulate the style of other singers but rather to find their own sound. During my tenure at Peabody I performed in various shows both on and off campus, including summers via many prestigious programs in Europe to include; Read More
