Music has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started playing the piano when I was 7 and from there my love for music grew. Since then I have picked up many other instruments including but not limited to, the trumpet, stand-up bass, bass guitar, french horn, flute, and clarinet.

Garrett C

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience started after college, teaching a family friend bass guitar. From there I realized I could just as well teach guitar, piano, and saxophone as well. I find it rewarding to watch people grow and learn skills they can use the rest of their life, enriching their life with the expression of music. From taking private lessons of my own on saxophone and guitar throughout high school and college, I've learned that consistency of practice is key! Read More

Instruments: Piano Organ Music Keyboard

I believe a good foundation is important to be a successful musician, regardless of the level of application. With this in mind, each student will have access to theory, ear training and they will build technique through intervals, scales, chords, etc,... Every concept will present an applicable piece to reinforce the knowledge. For example, younger kids will be introduced to Solfege, utilizing the Curwen hand signs. Then we introduce the treble clef.

Alex A

Instruments: Piano Voice

I am very passionate about music, and I try to motivate my students towards a similar love of music of all styles and genres. In 2014, I have completed my studies at Boston University, where I completed a PhD in Musicology with a focus on jazz of the 1930s and 1940s. I have performed at such venues as the Kennedy Center, the Boston Symphony Hall, the Taylor House, and the Kreeger Museum as a solo and ensemble musician. Read More

Milan C

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Recorder Piccolo Music Keyboard

My materials and methods differ depending on the pupil's age/ability. For a young 11 year old beginner, homework assignments will begin with the instrument itself, and then eventually Book One of any method book desired. Popular practice dictates good results with books like Yamaha and Standard of Excellence. For middle-level ability (middle school / early high school), the Rubank series is perfect. Finally, with middle and above levels; solos, ensemble work, duets, and additional etude books will be used. Read More

Joshua L

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar

For Piano I teach from the Faber Faber series. I used Primer and level 1 one for children and a level 1 version for late teens and adults. For Guitar/Bass I use Hal Leonard Guitar Method Series. For all my students I determine what they are interested in learning and we focus on that music while still practicing the fundamentals. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Kara K

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Recorder

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My parents tell me that I began to be interested in the violin at age two. I have no recollection of this, but after years of asking to play the violin, I began my violin lessons at age seven. My love of the instrument is still there now and is stronger than it was when I was a child. Growing up, I was really small for my age and very uncoordinated when it came to dance and sports. The violin was perfect for someone of small stature, as they make them in smaller sizes for children.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I would say that the musical accomplishment I am most proud of is just being able to enstill the joy of music into my students. My goal for them is to truly enjoy their instrument and most do! Besides that, I am proud that I have successful achieved a bachelors and masters degree in music. Some classes, like conducting class, pushed me out of my comfort zone, but made me a better musician in the process. I am also proud of the ensemble groups that I have played with for weddings. It is such a joy to make beautiful music for one’s special day.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Because I specialize in young beginner students, not many have one awards. That being said, my older students have been selected for All-District orchestra in PA, York Youth Symphony Orchestra, York Junior Symphony Orchestra, All-County Orchestra in Harford County, PA, Harford Youth Orchestra, and Harford String Orchestra. My students have been selected for admission in the Philadelphia Performing Arts Charter School and also have been awarded scholarships to attend music camps. My students have received high ratings in county and state solo and ensemble festivals in Maryland.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think everything about the violin is difficult. Probably the one thing that is the hardest is intonation, also known as playing in tune. Since the violin does not have frets like a guitar, it can be challenging to figure out where to put your fingers. Beginner students frequently use tapes on their stringed instruments in order to grasp the finger placement. Intermediate and advanced students must use their ears instead of their eyes for finger placement. To do that, your ears must be keen and then you have to have the muscle memory as well for exact finger placement.

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.
