Aquiles N

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Clarinet Drums Synthesizer Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard

My teaching experience has been quite rewarding and varied over the years. Every student has a unique and special passion that has drawn them into music and I make sure to acknowledge that in order to maintain that spirit even when a task is in front of them. My main focus is the technical aspect of the instrument, helping the student discover how it works for them, so they can shape the music the best way possible.

Philip S

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums

I have created my own method of teaching which I have perfected over the years. I create my own exercises and practice materials based on the level and interests of each individual student. I use the software program "Finale" in order to create the musical compositions that I prepare for my students. I always accompany my students on the piano. I am well versed in the various styles of music and am comfortable teaching students how to improvise also. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Keyboard

Hello, Im very excited about teaching students the very important basic principles of music when helping them realize their voice and ability to write and perform their own original music. I graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2008 with a degree in Professional Music and a focus in classical composition/jazz pedagogy/music theory/jazz performance. Ive had the wonderful pleasure of touring over 40 countries and recording with great artists such as Esperanza Spalding, Terri Lyne Carrington, Jeff Tain Watts, Rudimental, Ravi Coltrane, John Blake, Kimberly Thompson, Vijay Iyer, Tyshawn Sorey, Peter Evans, and many more amazing artists.

Instruments: Saxophone

It is very important to me that each student is having fun, and enjoying the process of learning the saxophone. Students will always have the opportunity to bring their own music/projects into our lessons, in addition to the work we will do on the fundamentals, technique, tone production, etc. We will cover all areas of the saxophone, and music to produce a highly educated musician and performer. With an understanding of a students level, goals, and passions, I will be able to formulate a plan for the student to be proficient in all areas of the instrument. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Kellon A

Instruments: Saxophone

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The best practice is practice you enjoy. If you don't see the need to practice something, don't force yourself to do it! A teacher's job is to steer you towards music and techniques for learning that provide clear progress towards your playing goals. Any practice that employs exercises should be at the appropriate difficulty and make sense so that you can see and feel the effects it has on your playing. So how does one practice effectively? Practice what you enjoy! Even on a professional level, music is about your passion and experience first.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
All your child needs before starting lessons is a love a music! Yes, music is discipline and there is a lot of practice and hard work one must push through before becoming a professional level musician, but the joy that playing music brings is the center of attention in every lesson. As an educator, it is my job to provide your child the tools and experience they need to become literate in music and gain the ability to play in the style of musicians that inspire them. Step one with every student: find out what they love!

When will I start to see results?
Immediately! From the very first lesson, you will gain the perspective and focus to see a path towards your music performance goals. Every week following, we'll take steps together along that path! Lessons are focused around you, not your instrument. An instrument is simply a tool for making music, so your mastery of it should be the tool to unlocking your musical goals, not your main focus. Want to sound like John Coltrane? We won't sit around reading out of method books. We'll discuss what you love about John Coltrane's playing, figure out what he practiced, and focus on that. One of my my favorite things to do in lessons in practice with you. I don't just want to tell you what to practice, I want to help you practice practicing so that your improvement can always be immediate as possible.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I grew up in a small town in Alabama. In the sixth grade, I was given the choice to either join the band or sign up for Physical Education. My young self hated exercising, so I went to the band room and asked the director what the easiest instrument to play was. He told me "the saxophone." In the end, no instrument is "easy to play," but I'm so grateful he pointed me towards the sax. I never would have imagined that today I'd be a playing and teaching music professionally. I think that my experience is a testament to the power of music and the community it creates. I started with the intent of dodging sit-ups and laps around the track, but ended up falling in love with an art form and dedicating my life to it.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Practicing always starts with listening. I listen to one of my favorite songs and then I listen to a recording of myself to begin every session, that way I always have perspective of where I stand as a musician. I then use that perspective to determine exactly what skill or technique it is that separates a performance that I admire from my own playing and focus my efforts there. Making up my own exercises and methods for achieving those goals is crucial, because every musical journey is unique.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love playing pop music and top-40's hits. I play and write a ton of creative jazz music and perform with singer-songwriters playing original music in huge NYC venues, but there is something really special about pop. There's no feeling better than being on stage and seeing a young person jump to their feet, a couple slow dance, or an elderly mans face light up with reminisce as you play someone's favorite song. Popular music defines generations and connects deeply to the events that inspired them. It incites celebration and dance, and that's my favorite part about music.
