Rachel B

Instruments: Piano

As a teacher my goal is to push the students toward their best potential, guide them along the way, and make sure they have a full grasp of note reading, rhythm, expression, technique, and dynamics. And since I only see them once a week, the real work takes place at home with the parents, so for the younger players I teach them but also teach their parents how to push and motivate them at home.

Molly M

Instruments: Piano

I have been playing piano since elementary school and discovered very early on how much I love it. I took up the violin later though the piano continues to be my first love. Long before graduating from high school, I knew I wanted to study music in college and make music a part of my daily life. I discovered the joy of collaborative playing in college and hve played with a number of different musicians since then. Read More

Julia B

Instruments: Piano

I began teaching piano part-time in high school and slowly realized it was something that I was truly passionate about. Over the past 10 years, I have been teaching piano to students of all ages and skill levels, and it has been an incredibly fulfilling experience. I believe that music is a form of self-expression, and I strive to help my students develop their own unique style and voice. By encouraging creativity and individuality, I hope to inspire my students to continue exploring and developing their musical abilities long after they leave my studio. Read More

I'm a very passionate and hard working teacher, with a goal to keep the legacy of music passed on. I believe in building relationships with all of my students, as I have learned people only want to learn from people they like. I graduated from West Georgia University with a BA in Guitar performance, and a minor focus on piano and saxophone. I have experience playing classical, jazz, and rock all over the country as well as in Germany for a jazz tour in college. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I am a very passionate music teacher, it's really who I am. I thrive off of opening the doors of music to people new to playing an instrument and teaching them a foundation upon which to grow. I graduated from UMASS Lowell with a Bachelors in Music Performancein 2014 and have 9 years of teaching experience in and around the Boston area. I play and manage a band called Skyfoot and have for about 6 years now. Read More

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I do a pretty good job of placing students into regional, honors, and all-state bands. Usually there's someone in my studio who's all-state level. A few of my students have gone on to be professional musicians. One tours the world with his one-man Sax BeatBox" act; another plays in thee President's Own USMC band; etc. But I don't really measure success by how many of my students turn pro. If you've learned something, if you've grown as a person, if you retain a love for making music well after your last lesson is over, that's a success in my book.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Fundamentals, i.e. good tone, good time, solid technique, intonation, solid reading skills. You never really get beyond the basics; you just get better and better at them throughout your life. "Mastery" is a moving target where music is concerned; you'll pursue it your whole life.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For piano, I like the Alfred Books - they have a very robust and well-rounded curriculum. But others like Schirmer and Bastien are good, too. For wind instruments, I can teach effectively using whatever method book you're currently using in band. Standard of Excellence and Essential Elements seem to be the two favorites right now, and they're both great. We won't always be using books, though. I have lots of my own supplemental materials, and I'm also a big fan of learning by ear and improvising.

When will I start to see results?
You should start seeing results right away. This all depends on the amount of time you want to put in. I only see you for 30-60 minutes once a week; the real progress happens during the other six days.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had many great teachers along the way, starting in 1st grade and continuing on through college. Most of them were pretty great about encouraging me to get better and supporting me, while at the same time not "sugar-coating" how difficult it is to make a living in music.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My mom was watching a cheesy music video one evening, right before we had out little 4th grade instrument "petting zoo." She made the offhand comment about how the saxophone was such a magical instrument to her. That was it - saxophone for me. Since that time I've branched out into several other instruments, but I still remember that moment.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Make a habit of it, every day. Even if you only play for a few minutes - you might be surprised what you can accomplish in 5-10 minutes every day. You'll definitely accomplish more than "cramming" for 1-2 hours right before your lesson.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You're ready today! If you have the desire to learn something new, you're absolutely ready right now. That's literally all that's required. That and the actual instrument, of course, lol.

Play By Ear: A Quick Guide for Beginning Musicians

...how the rhythm is organized. If you’re new to trying to play by ear, it’s a good idea to start with music that features conventional time signatures (4/4, 3/4, etc). Your main goal here should be to find where the strong beats are. Are the beats grouped in fours? Then the music you’re listening to is probably in the time signature of 4/4. Are they grouped in threes? Then you may be hearing music written in 3/4 or even 6/8 depending on the speed and feel of the music. Try to determine the tempo (speed) of what you’re listening to so you... Read More

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.

Ok

Are you sure that's your only availability? The more availability you easier it will be to arrange a teacher for you.
