Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Music Keyboard

I've taught private lessons to students of all ages for the last 10+ years. Additionally, I have taught at the middle school and high school levels. I've taught instrumental, vocal, and general music. I enjoy watching students progress in their studies. Most importantly, I enjoy watching students reflect upon their growth musically. I consider music to be a very important investment in a child's future. Many parents do not know that their children can earn college scholarship dollars for playing an instrument well. Read More

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Music Keyboard

A lot of the students I worked with were severely struggling with music at first, many of whom felt extremely insecure. The most important factor is making sure a student is comfortable. It is terrifying to play an instrument that you may be feeling insecure about, and a condescending or arrogant teacher will only reinforce the insecurities. I try my best to create a relaxed and animated environment to combat the initial insecurities. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Recorder Euphonium French Horn Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I start my students with a single lesson where I gain a knowledge about the student's musical abilities and personality. I don't generally start with a single method book, because I believe that in individual lessons, the methods used should be tailored to fit the student. I will pull from Essential Elements, Accent on Achievement, and Standard of Excellence, as well as writing and devising my own warm ups and methods. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I believe in being supportive, encouraging, and kind, yet firm.    I encourage those students who are interested in performing by helping them to find opportunities. Every student is different and has different goals. We work to develop their potential. Some of my students are beginners and some have more experience. I like to make the lessons as fun as they can be and work on pieces and songs that the students enjoy! Read More

Instruments: Piano

An important component in my teaching process is assessment. First I need to understand long-term goals of the student. What does "taking piano lessons" mean to you. If you want to learn piano and go through Bach preludes and Brahms reductions great! But that is not the entire scope of what private lessons can offer an individual. Often the student doesn't know what specifically excites him/her. For younger students especially, broadening horizons is important. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Clarinet Bass Guitar Synthesizer French Horn

The most effective teachers that I have had were teachers who recognized these important factors in the student-teacher relationship- that the best education experiences occur when both the student and the teacher embark on a positively-reinforced exploration together as opposed to the teacher solely dictating negatively to the student. It's with this spirit that I intend to conduct every lesson that I teach, because it is also through making the relationship one of mutual exploration and nurturing that I will give my past experiences of joy to my students.

Teacher In Spotlight

Marcello C

Instruments: Piano Drums Latin Percussion

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I first went to the Conservatory of Naples (IT) and studied classical percussion during high school. After that, at 18 I moved to Amsterdam and got my Bachelor (skipping one year) in Jazz Drums. Thereafter I got also my Master degree in Amsterdam, during which I did an exchange of a semester at The New School in New York. After that, in 2020 I started my second Master degree at Manhattan School of Music in New York, which I completed and graduated in May 2022 with 4.0 GPA.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Patience. Playing drums, or trying to master any kind of art, is not only about the instrument/art. It's really a spiritual process of your whole life.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My father plays drums as a hobby so when I was a little kid I used to watch him play at the house and after few years of life I asked him to buy me a drumset

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I've played with some of the best musicians in the world. In Amsterdam I played in the Big Band with John Clayton, Bob Mintzer and Vince Mendoza, to name a few. Those where beautiful experiences. However I think the best is yet to come.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I started playing drums at a very young age, I was about 5 or 4, watching my father. So my father was my first drums teacher, and of course we didn't ahave a conventional teacher-student relationship. My first real teacher was Maurizio Saggiomo. I went to him at 12 and I stayed for about 4 years. He's of course the one who gave me the most. I'm very thankful to him and the way he taught me, I learned a lot not only about the drums but also about life and teaching. Then of course I had a lot of teachers in my life and everyone of them was very impactful in different ways.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There is no requirement one must have to start taking lessons. Every level, age or background is a good place to start. It just takes a good teacher to be able to understand the student, their learning patterns and allow the blossoming of their musicianship.

When will I start to see results?
I believe the more quality time one puts in it, the sooner the results will manifest. Don't rush the process, there are no shortcuts, just focus when you practice and you'll see you're going to get a lot out of it.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My advice to practice effectively is: practice slow and focused! Most of the time practicing is just a matter of allowing your brain and your body to match their speed, so to speak.

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.
