Keegan D

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola

For the beginning student, I typically suggest a collection of specific studies from an array of sources, some designed simply for technique and others for the development of musical understanding. Naturally, these depend on the individual and their needs. I am most dedicated to facilitating the needs of each individual student and providing them the ability to express their musical ideas clearly and easily. For more advanced students, I will focus on honing technical proficiency and challenging them with new repertoire, preparing them for new musical opportunities, such as youth orchestras, chamber music, recitals, and competitions to further their growth.

Kathryn R

Instruments: Piano Voice Flute

I usually find out the student's musical preferences and try to pick songs from that style, meanwhile, introducing them to classical music or folk music and helping them pick music to work on from that genre.  I follow a similar pattern with flute lessons. Depending on the experience of the student, lessons can begin a little more slowly than with the other two instruments since wielding the instrument is largely dependent hand size and length of arms!

Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Djembe Acoustic Guitar

I've discovered over the years that every student is different and require a custom approach tailored to what method works best for them. Some students do very well working through publications of lesson books, while others seem to do better with a less structured approach driven more by listening and muscle memory. In both methods, I find it important to lead by example, not only to be able to show them correctly, but also to inspire them. Read More

Matthew L

Instruments: Trumpet

Well my teaching style is very conveyed, profound and philosophical. For me it is important to find true focus and happyness in the world and share it with my students. For me i want every kid a teach to become famous musicians or at least feel good about music. I am not strict although i am very direction oriented. I want all students to try new musical techniques in the real world so i will try to promote them to the best of my abilities. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

The most important thing for me as a teacher is to see my students having fun, and really enjoying learning their instrument. I want to see them be passionate about getting better because they’re excited about what’s coming next. By learning about the students goals, and also learning about their musical taste and the kinds of music that inspire them, I can create a lesson plan that totally dedicated to each individual student so that they get the most out of their lesson, and so that I get them closer to their goal.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Drums Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Harmonica Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Recorder Double Bass Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Acoustic Guitar

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I don't have a primary instrument, but if I had to narrow it down, I would say Piano, Bass, Drums, Ukulele. Those are my favorite instruments to play and those are my best instruments out of all of the instruments that I play. I can play pretty much any instrument, but banging on drums is probably what makes me the happiest. I can express my emotion and use dynamics to express different moods and feelings. I would love to teach others my primary instruments, but also other instruments I play to make the world a place full of musicians that play all kinds of instruments.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of playing with others and joining a musical community where I can play with others and make friends and new family members from it. I got the John Phillip Sousa award in High School for being the best student in the entire orchestra for four whole years. Only one person gets that award. I also got to perform on live television which was a great experience. I am in many bands. One of them is currently making a music video. Another one is recording a professional album and when done, the album will be sent to a friend who works as a scout for Razor and Tide records. Another band just recently played at some fashion shows, a museum, and we are working our way up the ladder and getting closer to really getting our music out there. Another band I am in has nine pre-grammy nominee awards and a music innovation award for their songs and music videos and we play at a festival in Brooklyn, New York.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Even though I am pretty young, I spent a lot of my life teaching myself how to play instruments and I have been performing for around five years. That experience is what I needed in order to teach others how to play instruments to the point where they are so good at it, that they can perform live and feel comfortable playing around others. I haven't had any students yet as this is the reason why I have joined the Musika Community. I plan to teach students to the best of my ability and once I do that, we will see how many of my students decide to perform music to the point where they will have a chance to win awards or get special honors.

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.
