William G

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Lap Steel Guitar Banjo Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I'm a multi-instrumentalist, recording artist, painter, and music instructor based in Westchester, NY. Music is deeply important to me and I love sharing that passion.

My main instruments are guitar and bass, with my teaching ability for each instrument ranging from beginner to touring musician. Read More

Kevin K

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Recorder Keyboard

I'm just starting out pursuing teaching as a professional. During my undergraduate degree, I gave some piano lessons to a next door neighbor, and also also tutored my professor's daughter in music theory. Those moments were crucial for developing what I want to be doing: infusing music lessons with music theory and composition. I feel that learning to play music becomes an entire new experience when one understands the theory behind what they are playing and and furthermore is excited about generating their own material.

I believe in teaching piano students the basics and how to read music to start. I have taught using almost every piano series available.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Recorder Double Bass Music

It is important to adopt a teaching style that is tailored to the individual needs of each student, especially because each student learns at their own pace. Setting goals is one of the first topics I discuss with my students, and then indicate some of the steps they need to take to achieve the goals that they set for themselves. Keeping track of a student's hours of practice and their musical achievements is beneficial for me to determine what new material and concepts to work on, and also allows the student to stay organized and motivated.  Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Clarinet Recorder

Namely, sheet-music for favourite songs, tunes, and melodies which they could then read and master visually what I had picked up audibly. Seeing the joy on my classmates' faces was always a pleasure of mine, so I indulged in it wherever possible, eventually taking it to the internet and indulging learners across borders, and from there, my lessons have evolved from mere musical distribution to regular and consistent technical tutoring.

Danny M

Instruments: Piano Drums Keyboard

I began teaching when I was in High School. My first teaching experience was mentoring younger musicians as drum line captain for two years. I lived in Cincinnati Ohio during my summers between semesters at Berklee College of Music. While home, I maintained a busy teaching schedule with beginners all the way up to college students in the Cincinnati area. I draw from my experiences studying with some of the best teachers and musicians in the world at Berklee College of music in order to be the best teacher possible. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Edward C

Instruments: Piano

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I recently had a student whose school participates in a statewide competition. My student came in second on her first time, and won it the following two times she was in it. She graduated in 2019 and auditioned for three college programs and was accepted by all three. She has not been the first to leave me and go on to study music in college. Other students I have participate in their school Holiday performances as accompanists of the other children singing.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I just liked the sound of the piano. It was featured at the first concert of the Philadelphia Orchestra I went to.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
The work that I put in as a youth enabled me to graduate from music school cum laude. After which I was able to travel to Europe to study. I also worked as an assistant conductor for an opera company while still in school. The performances I have given.

When will I start to see results?
Every student is different! You cannot expect the same results from every student. Patience is the key thing that the parents need. Encourage your child at every opportunity. But also make sure they know what they are required to do. Then success will come

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I would say that the second teacher I had at Settlement School had the greatest influence on me. He was a demanding teacher but not a strict disciplinarian. He expected the students to be prepared so that they could make progress at every lesson.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
As a general rule, I would say that when a student has learned that alphabet and can read some is the time to begin. There are exceptions, of course. If the child has shown some talent or interest at an early age, then starting lessons could be called for. Remember, if there is someone in the home who has had previous lessons on the instrument, that gives the child a great advantage if they have questions.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The student must be able to practice without as little background interference as possible. When they practice, they should know that there is a difference between playing and practice. Practice is the time to put in the work to iron out any problems they are having. In other words, DON'T play from beginning to end every time. If you have a problem with a particular passage, then turn that spot into an exercise in order to learn it better, then put it back into the context of the piece to see it you have mastered it.

Beginners Guide to Recording Studio Equipment

...analog and digital recording studio equipment from a number of different decades. Often they will have several versions of the same device, all of which have their pros, cons, and different characteristics for processing audio.   To understand all of the recording studio equipment, it’s important to have a foundational understanding of signal processing and audio signal flow. Audio signal flow is the path the sound travels while being recorded once it has been converted to electricity. A basic audio signal flow is from an instrument to a recording device, however in professional recording the signal makes many stops along ... Read More

Another benefit to playing octave scales in thumb position is clearly seeing a scalar interval pattern within a single hand shape (this can’t be easily seen in multiple octave scale exercises). I also recommend playing scales in octaves on the A and D strings because the hand shapes are larger in the lower register and smaller in the higher registers of the cello. A sort of Alice in Wonderland effect! Start using the thumb as soon as possible so it is as natural as using the other fingers.   International Scales   Most music students learn major ... Read More

Residents of all ages sift through the refuse, searching for items with recyclable value in order to earn money for themselves, their families and their community.
