Cesar O

Instruments: Piano

I teach classical music exclusively. My strategy for utterly inexperienced students is to remove from the equation the difficulty of reading a music score, and just allow the hands to "learn" the keyboard by having the student repeating short musical sentences (either preexisting or improvised by me on the spot). Once familiarity with the keyboard has been achieved, or if the student already reads music, we move on to his or her first book, and I tend to favor Nancy and Randall Faber's Piano Adventures.

Currently, she holds the esteemed positions of music director and worship leader at West Church in Peabody. Read More

Evelyn C

Instruments: Piano Voice Music

My teaching style is me. I work one on one with each individual student as to their age, ability and how they learn. No one size fits all and each individual learns the same concept a bit differently. I make sure both piano and voice students understand fully what the lessons are about so they can practice at home and move forward, and understand. We have fun because I'm nuts...have a sense of humor. Read More

Cecilia S

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Viola Ukulele Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

My experience in the music therapy field as well as my personal experience being homeschooled when I was young has led me to hold the philosophy that every student succeeds most in an individualized environment. For that reason, I first learn about the student: their interests, their strengths, their struggles, and the way that they see the world. From there, I design goals that are personal to them, and design a curriculum that works for their learning style. Read More

Emiel D

He placed third in the 2019 National Trumpet Competition Jazz Division and placed as a semifinalist in the small classical ensemble division. I performed at venues and festivals including Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, BBC Radio Foyle, Ulster Hall, Panama Jazz Festival, Rochester International Jazz Festival, and the San Jose Jazz Festival. As of December 2021, I am a graduate of the Master of Music program at the Berklee Global Jazz Institute on a full tuition scholarship under the direction of maestro Danilo Perez. Read More

Keira H

Instruments: Piano Trombone

Upon first meeting me students I like to do an informal lesson to evaluate where they are in terms of technique on their instrument, knowledge of music fundamentals (harmony, theory and rhythm). At the beginning of each lesson I believe it's important to talk about what each student has been able to work on from the lesson before and each lesson ending in goals we would like to accomplish for the next meeting.

Teacher In Spotlight

Kavan R

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Fell in love with violin at age 14! Was playing piano by ear from the age of 3. Hearing my mother play piano daily was a huge inspiration.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My natural ability to teach and ability to solve problems for students. My students tell me I have laser vision. Solving technical and musical issues is what gives me enthusiasm.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
It was my 1st violin teacher. She taught till she was 96. When I trace my violin ancestry through her, I become 4 people removed from the great composers Brahms, Schumann and Dvorak. My students become 5 removed from the greats!

When will I start to see results?
Results are within a week if practicing occurs at least 5 days a week. It does not have to be long. Even 5-10 mins a day for beginners can create fluency. More advanced students would need 15-20 mins. Even professionals can see results with 30 mins-1 hr. a day if practicing is efficient. Practicing 3-4 hrs. a day like one hears about in media articles is completely unnecessary and can lead to over kill/burnout.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
1st isolate the problem spots and work only on those. 2nd analyse the problem. Many times it is only 1 note or finger that is causing a passage to stumble. There are only 7 issues I've categorized that can go wrong. If all 7 are addressed Mastery is assured.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If the child responds to music positively that is a clear sign. Do they sing or dance to music? Even for those who are not into music, playing a musical instrument gives them an enormous advantage in life due to the development of the brain, attention, and awareness that ensues from playing an instrument. Albert Einstein played both violin and piano. One does not have to become a professional musician to excel in music or playing an instrument. Some of the best musicians and brightest minds I've encountered have been in other professions, but they played piano, violin, viola at professional levels and in some rare cases beyond any professional musician. It is not unusual to find Surgeons, Doctors, Engineers, scientists, etc. excel at piano for e.g. One of the best pianists I've ever heard was an actuary (Insurance). This gentlemen exceeded the talents of any concert pianist I've ever heard (and I've heard most of the top ones). Also a throat surgeon more skilled than most professional violinists.

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.

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