Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar

I start out with fundamental theory, scales, and chords, along with easy songs and riffs. I teach student differently depending on their skill and ability level. I utilize textbooks and DVDs to accompany the lessons. My approach is straight forward, which enables the students to learn quickly.I think the visual aspect of the guitar is very important, so I focus a lot on theory applied directly to the guitar.

Instruments: Flute

Learning the flute is not easy, and for some learning to improvise can be just as challenging.  My goal is to make the learning experience fun for the student, and to help them master their instrument and become a great improviser. Read More

Instruments: Trombone Euphonium

It is very refreshing to be able to see the enthusiasm and eagerness of a student in lessons. As someone who still routinely takes lessons, I know firsthand how important the relationship between teacher and student can be. I’m very passionate about fostering a friendly, open environment in which students feel comfortable learning, making mistakes, and voicing opinions. In my time teaching and taking lessons, I’ve found that the growth that comes from one on one attention is like no other, and that the solid foundation that private lessons build prepares students for success in other musical settings, as well as in the classroom and, eventually, the workplace.

I build strong relationships with my students and their families and am available during the week for questions, practice videos, etc. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my highschool days in Paris where I started teaching three students once a week each to make some extra pocket money.

I am used to teaching in both French and English as I use to cater to the international community of Paris as both a music and a language tutor. Read More

Instruments: Drums

As stated above I believe that everyone learns at a different pace and through different pathways. I enjoy exploring different ways of thinking in regards to the instrument and music. As a master musician once told me I'm not your teacher, I'm just an advanced student. Every teaching situation for me is also a learning situation. As long as a student is eager and willing to learn and practice I will put everything I have into making sure they complete their musical goals! Read More

I began teaching before I attended Berklee College of Music, and have continued ever since. I teach out of my studio and travel to students homes as well. The main points of my lessons are to help you learn what you want to learn and correct any bad habits you might have. Primarily I want us to have fun together and learn in the process. I love listening to music with my students and checking out what interests you, along with recommending some listening choices. Read More
