Shafer B

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Keyboard

I taught private piano lessons to about 15 students ranging from 3 years old to 38 years old for about 2 years while teaching in the School District of Philadelphia full-time. During my time at Temple University I was in Premier Wind ensembles playing Euphonium and Trombone and performed with the Temple University Diamond Marching Band for 4 years. During my marching band experience I was featured on The Wolf on Wall Street starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Annie starring Jamie Fox, and performed on stage with Fitz and The Tantrums in addition to weekly performances at Lincoln Financial Field Temple University football home games and at the Boca Raton Bowl Game.

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Keyboard

I have been teaching for the past 17 years.  I enjoy the challenge of meeting each student's needs and creating an individual teaching plan to help students achieve their goals. I have had the opportunity to work with preschool through undergraduate students. My experience as a high school chorus teacher, Teaching Artist with the Washington National Opera, guest vocalist for the Ghanian ambassador, and part-time professor have bolster my ambition to bring music to students "where they are".

Matt S

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Drums Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Ukulele Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Keyboard

I use the teaching method as previously described, and try to tailor my style for each student. Everyone learns, practices, and progresses uniquely -- so it's part of MY job to figure out the best approach to help each of my students. My experience in both the civilian and military music communities has given me a very open-minded but direct approach to WHAT you should learn, and HOW FAST you should be able to progress each individual student.

David R

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar

Hello! Music is my life. I am constantly driven by music and I find inspiration in working with students to help them find their musical potential as well. Studying intensively at Mesa College was both rewarding as it was challenging, but working with my Berklee mentors was without question the moments that helped me as a musician, and I wish to share that with all aspiring students.

Teacher In Spotlight

Victoria B

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet

When will I start to see results?
Depending on the student, you can see results anywhere from weeks to months to years. Everyone learns at their own pace and learns in different ways. Some students can see major results in a matter of months (these are kids who are logical thinkers). Some others need more time who are creative minds.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, my former piano teacher of 10 years inspired me so much. She was so professional, loving, and strict at the same time. She really taught me how to be a disciplined and committed musician. She was so amazing with all her students in her studio.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I fell in love with piano from a young age, I saw others play piano in school and at other events, and I always thought "I want to do that." I became passionate about piano and composing my own music from a young age.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I most proud of my studies at Berklee College of Music, being mentored in masterclasses at Steinway, performing at Carnegie Hall, and playing gigs in Boston. I'm also proud of creating my own music and being able to share it with the world via YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
During the pandemic of 2020, I started to teach virtually. One of my students from Argentina I taught for a year, and she was a natural pianist. She love the instrument and it was so exciting to see her progress throughout the year. She is now working towards getting awards, special honors, and potentially competitions.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing would have to be accuracy as far as speed of notes as well as advance rhythmic concepts. For example, works by famous composer such as Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, are very difficult, and anything in advanced grades, takes a lot of brain power and dedication to the instrument.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
This all depends on the age of the student. Students 5 to 9 who are in the beginner level should at least practice 15-30 min a day if they want to really improve and move quickly through the grades. Students who are intermediate should practice anywhere from 45 min to 2 hours a day. Advanced students who are really committed to their artistry need 2- 4 hours a day and sometimes more with breaks in between.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will simply know when the child is eager to learn and they are excited about it, especially when they play around on the piano and really want to be taught. Age 5-6 is a good age to start beginner and the Faber Primer level.

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.
