Edward B

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Drums Bass Guitar

I believe the student is there to find a passion. It is so important to find love for the art, and this is what I try to provide. A lead-by-example approach is the core of what I do. I "draw" the student toward their own voice. It is imperative to help them find their own "style." The greatest musicians are true originals; and so I do not encourage my students to follow in my footsteps, but to blaze their own trails. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Ukulele

I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then I'm not doing my job! My students are encouraged to enter festivals, camps and performing events as well as work on their own composing, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.

Marc M

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Saxophone Bassoon

Hey! I am a performer, and I love to find various ways to perform as a musician, actor, comedian, and teacher/tutor/mentor. I love to connect and communicate with audiences and/or students through my voice, my jokes, or my instruments. I graduated from Rutgers University in 2012 with a bachelors in Psychology and Theater Arts, and spent much of my time performing on stage in musicals and plays. I proudly identify as a "jack of all trades" and am constantly using the various mediums of performing to learn, connect, feel, and gain the opportunity to experience something new. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Bass Guitar Synthesizer Accordion Ukulele Euphonium French Horn Tuba Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style is very "go with the flow." Each day is a new opportunity to learn a little more about music and your chosen instrument. Each lesson is a time where we can delve deeply into one piece of music, or jump around to several different topics. Of course, there is always room for structure and I make sure that we stay on track! There are so many different aspects of each instrument to cover, but there no need to get bogged down with complicated acronyms and over complex methodology. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Organ Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set a specific time every day/week. Make sure the student eats a hour before the lesson. Put on your mind to "receive" mode and that there aren't any distractions in the room. If a section of a piece is problematic that we would work on that part first. A metronome can be helpful at first when practicing. If possible, internally sing the piece down and up again. The instructor can play one hand while the student plays the other. There are also pieces for 2 pianos. Practicing doesn't have to be boring at all. it can be a creator of fun, drama, adventure...

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If the child has a great deal of energy and it is focused on inner thought, If the child has a little energy and it is focused on outer thought. If the child can sign-a-long from DVD tracks, or if the child can dance to a children show, they are ready for lessons. If the students stop crying when music is being played. If the students bang on kitchen utensils. they are ready for lessons. If the student asks the family for piano at home, they are ready for lessons. If the student starts playing what he hears on the radio, they are ready for lessons.

When will I start to see results?
A parent of slower IQ will find themselves seeing results in either a month or less. A parent of medium IQ will take 2-3 weeks, while advanced students for 1-2 weeks. This isn't set in stone, some of their grades fluctuate from (ex. third to second) and some rearrangement will probably occur. But by the end of the course all grades should normalize. It is important that the children wants to be here, but excessive crying (for youngest class) lesson after lesson indicates a problem. I would gently ask the child "whats wrong", or "is the music giving you a problem?". Sometimes the personal touch can help students with bad attitude.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
When I was just starting my undergraduate I was very impressed by Charles Wuorinen, Pulitzer Prize and MacArthur award winner. He taught for New Jersey and commuted to New York if there was an engagement (he also has a home on West End Avenue). Wuorinen's music is daring and electrifying to the listener. It also has moments of eerie calm where the instruments can stretch out and blend together. His pieces tend to be large with well-defined sections. He also takes the older composer (Machaut) and arranged it in his style. Similar pieces are over his output.

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.
