Music Lessons in Tyngsboro, MA

Instruments: Violin Viola Flute Fiddle Piccolo Music

I have taught private lessons on the flute and the violin for the last five years and am starting to offer tin whistle lessons to students interested in learning to pick up Irish music. As a music educator, I fulfilled my student teaching at the middle school and high school level in Pickens, South Carolina. My goal as an educator is making sure that my students succeed and reach their goals. Read More

Instruments: Guitar

Over the past 2-3 years, I've had the pleasure of working with many students and helping them find a unique voice. Music should be enjoyed, and I try to cater to the students needs, whether they need to work on something or if they're curious about certain concepts. I do encourage students to ask as many questions as possible, as not only does it keep them constantly learning, but it also allows me to guide them in the best possible manner to achieve their own musical goals and pursuits.

My teaching style focuses on addressing the students desires and getting them to acknowledge their progress. Music is about having fun and being inspired by your favorite music. Pinpointing what a student needs to learn their favorite songs helps them progress quickly while being fulfilled. Translating these song-learning skills into song-writing skills is the gateway to artistic freedom. There is also a competitive and academic aspect to music that I am well-versed in. Read More

For all of my students I like to approach the lesson through the lens of preparation, skills, solos, and fun. I believe it is very important to prepare the mind and the body for the lesson to get the maximum benefit. In all of my lessons I begin with appropriate warm-ups before moving on to skills and technique. I use a variety of method books depending on the goals and wishes of my students, and I tailor them to make sure they are learning all the skills they need to be able to play the solos and fun music that they want to learn.

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

For a vocal curriculum, I will teach basic vocal warm ups that will improve range, tone musicality. We will work on breathing exercises and relaxation techniques as well as performance etiquette and acting (the story behind the story) and the expression of the story. In addition to classical vocal techniques, students can decide the genre they want to apply it to, such as pop, musical theater, jazz, country, RB, etc. Read More

Instruments: Piano

When I meet new students, I start by figuring out where they are on their journey, and I meet them there. I approach each lesson uniquely, because we are all different and learn in different ways. I teach with a combination of Lesson and Theory books, usually Alfred's Basic, and we will focus on healthy playing technique. I understand that Lesson and Theory books are not always the most interesting, and I supplement materials by teaching chords so students can learn pop songs of their choosing as well. Read More

I am a fun-loving, passionate instructor who loves watching students experience the satisfaction of making progress and feeling accomplished. I have toured all over the U.S. performing with many great musicians such as Alasdair Fraser, Hanneke Cassel, Mari Black, and many others. I'm both proud and fortunate to have been featured numerous times on WGBH for "A Celtic Sojourn" with Brian O'Donovan. A regular night for me consists purely of doing what I love: playing music with friends at local bars or my own living room. Read More
