Tree P

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone

No two students are the same, and I try to take each student's strengths, goals and preferences into account when designing their custom curriculum. For brass, I devise custom exercises for the player in addition to using classic pedagogical texts such as the Arban's and Clarke books. For piano, I start students off with a combination of scale work and repertoire. All lessons with me will include learning a wide variety of repertoire as well as a fair bit of improvisation, as I believe it is an invaluable tool for developing ears, creativity and musical personality.

Ashley W

Instruments: Piano Voice Cello Saxophone Bass Guitar Double Bass Keyboard

During the first lesson, I have a short discussion with the student to see what their goals are. I also ask what about music interests them. I then ask them to perform anything of their choice to assess their ability level (if applicable). After that, I tell them what immediately needs to be addressed and how this will work with their longterm goal. Then, based on their progress, we set benchmark goals that are adjusted according to their pace. Read More

Vartan M

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Electric Violin

My teaching experience dates back to my middle college years, as I began teaching private lessons part time approximately 10 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 7 years. Encouraging regular practice consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. My students encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own material,so they can feel about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn. Read More

Abaigael M

Instruments: Piano Voice Flute

I make sure my students have a strong foundation, which means I start with classical training. I work on the basics such as posture, articulation, breath-support, vowel shapes, and rhythm. Once they have a strong basis, I move to modern and musical theatre if they desire it. For a student who is going the strictly classical route, I will teach them IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) to help them with pronunciations in foreign languages when singing. Read More

Megan M

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin

My teaching style is defined by a combination of high standards, understanding, nurture and patience. I will set realistic goals for each student based on his/her abilities. I will encourage and try new ways to explain or demonstrate a skill that the student is having difficulty with and I will be extremely enthusiastic about their accomplishments. However, I will assertively make it known if the student shows that they have not been practicing in a supportive way. Read More

Marius D

Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone Drums Synthesizer Euphonium Tuba Music Keyboard

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Thank you for taking the time to read this I look forward to working with you. Read More

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform is any piece that I helped create, either through commissioning a composer, or through collaboration. I love to make music with my friends, colleagues, students, and fellow musicians. One of the greatest things about music is that is transcends language, boundaries, borders, and walls. When you create music as a group, there is a collective feeling of joy and as a result, music is born into the world: as a soloist performing music someone wrote for me, a brass quintet collaborating with amazing players, or with a huge orchestra, bringing a mass of sound to life.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musican, I would be an animator. I love cartoons. When I was growing up, my father worked as an art dealer for Disney, Warner Brothers, and Universal. I was surrounded by art and grew up drawing. I initially wanted to pursue a career as an animator before I discovered music. I have a very artistic mind, so I have always been drawn to the act of creation and art. One of my hopes for the future is to animate as a hobby and get good enough to bring animation to the music I create and record.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre of music to play is funk/R&B. Much of my training in jazz and theory comes into play in this style. Creative chords progressions meet overwhelmingly groovy rhythms. Many professional musicians who play funk and R&B are incredible technicians on their instruments and can play any style they want. They choose funk or R&B for the creative freedom that the music brings through collective improvisation. Each voice is important in this style, but each part meshes together to make something fun.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
As stated previously, my first instrument was French horn. I began playing in private lessons in the 3rd grade, a year before band was offered in elementary school. As a result, when I joined the 4th grade band, I was well ahead of the class and found myself bored and yearning for a challenge. I picked up the trumpet, thinking that learning a new instrument would bring my this challenge. Little did I know, it would spark an appetite to create every unique sound that instruments have to offer. I added trombone, electric bass, guitar, tuba, piano, saxophone, flute, clarinet, euphonium, ukulele, and others soon after.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
This is an interesting question. In my family, music skipped a generation. My maternal grandmother was a piano player and loved to play tango and popular music from her time. My mother and father both never played an instrument, even still. My three siblings and I all play at least one instrument, my sisters mainly being singers, and my brother being a saxophone and piano player who learned guitar later on. Though none of them pursued music like I did, they were all involved in ensembles in college and still hold that lifelong love of music that comes from playing and practicing.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional musician sometime in middle school. I just found that music was something I was very good at, to the point where I felt my mind was meant for it. I was never great with math or language, never very good at sports. I just could not see myself as a businessman, doctor, or lawyer, at that age. When I found a talent and love of music, I decided that's what I wanted to spend my life doing. Teaching music became a passion once I was in high school working for a private lesson studio.

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.
