Nobuko A

Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio and conservatories/colleges more than 18 years. Encouraging regular practice is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I encourage my students to enter competitions and recitals, since I believe the performance motivates and help to grow any level of students. Read More

Sarah H

Instruments: Voice

I'm a dedicated singer and lifelong lover of voice, concerned with how the healthy body creates dynamic sound regardless of genre. My teaching technique is based in the idea that all healthy sound is generated from a coordinated and healthy instrument, and my lessons are based around that concept. Graduated from New York University in 2014, my experience includes a wide range of styles and sounds from Pop to Opera to Musical Theatre. Read More

Davanna L

Instruments: Voice

My approach to teaching is simple...I just use the three P's. Punctuaillity, positivity, and perseverance! Basically saying, I will always be on time with a positive attitude! My goal is to make students feel comfortable and confident. Each lesson should feel like a brand new step in accomplishing their goals. Read More

Maria J

Instruments: Voice

There are many methods in voice, but my favorite teaching method is Vaccai. Its a simple and thorough method that explores intervalic reading and understanding theory, as well as classical breath training. I also teach vocal improvisation with jazz standards and allow my students to research about other styles and genres that they are curious about. The most important thing is they keep a good vocal health practice that allows them to be versatile and creative. Singing is such a personal and meditative instrument that the more time you spend understanding your voice the more you will be able to achieve.

Julia H

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Fiddle

I love having my students use notebooks to keep track of their own goals, practice habits and achievements. I think this is a great way to have them keep themselves on track and it's also a neat way to track progress! As a teacher, I like to encourage my students to be self-motivated so they can improve on their own. Taking lessons is obviously important but it is also crucial for students to practice the materials learned in lessons on their own time. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

All I want is to know that my students are enjoying music more deeply, and that they gain the self-sufficiency to learn between lessons. I make sure to point out milestones that a student has achieved to encourage that innate human drive for improvement, and always keep looking for what is exciting and inspiring for the student at a given time. I make sure each student I work with knows what elements to include in their practice, how to learn a piece of music from scratch, and how to break things down into manageable, learnable chunks.

Teacher In Spotlight

Luis D

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Recorder Piccolo Music

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Khachaturian Flute Concerto. Beautiful phrases, virtuosic sections, and DRAMA. What else could you ask for?

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be a chef! In both instances we are serving others, and working as a unit to produce a greta product for others to enjoy!

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
This was a gradual decision which for me started in High School and I made the decision to dedicate myself to the craft, sacrifice a lot of my time, and be open to learning and being humbled by those around me- by pedagogues and performers alike.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My Elementary School PS165 took trips to Avery Fisher Hall and listen to the New York Philharmonic rehearse Peter & The Wolf. I was in the 3rd grade at the time so the only reason I liked the flute was because it was shiny, loud, and got all of the attention playing melody and in the center of the orchestra. I could hear the beautiful ringing melodies, the conversations had in between sections through the music, and how musicians/ conductors tackled difference of opinions in artistic approach, standard performance practice, what is historically accurate in terms of style, intonation, phrasing etcetc. There was so much to be said about something that requires no talking to make happen.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Numerous students within my studio have won concerto competitions, orchestra seats, and chosen for masterclasses with known flutists from the New York Pops.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Going on tour with Nyack College to Asia in order to perform chamber music and going again a few years later as an Artistic Director where I would then oversee rehearsals, deal with logistics, and perform as a soloist internationally and get to give a Masterclass in Hong Kong!

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing is just as much of an art-form as getting on stage with bright lights and playing your heart out! Go out and purchase a metronome! THAT is your best friend, and it never fails. Set a "Number Goal" for yourself and turn it into a game! Play something slowly 5 or 10 times, if you are able to play it correctly crank up the metronome 1-2 clicks. Set that same number again, if you mess up before getting to that number then go back to the previous tempo. Challenge yourself to memorize tricky passages as well. Take a tricky 8 or 12 measure section and memorize the first 2 measures to start off. Play it 10 times, then turn the stand and play it 5 times by memory- keep doing this and you will see how easily you can execute those tricky measures. Why? Well memorizing music is a greater challenge then reading that same passage which is now in front of you! So when its time to play it you can focus less on notes and nerves, and more on musical phrasing and air support!

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They should demonstrate a natural curiosity for music. Do they ask questions when they hear classical music? Do they react when they hear someone sing? Will they clap or dance on beat to music on the radio? Have they expressed an interest for a specific instrument? Another key factor is age/instrument. A child who is very active might find something like the drums or percussive instruments more appealing then say the piano or violin which requires less movement to execute sound.

How To Tune A Guitar

...done. Tuning pegs are adjustable devices that can tighten or loosen each string. How loose or tight each string is will determine the pitch of your string. Typically, twisting the tuning peg in a counterclockwise fashion will tighten or sharpen the pitch, while moving it clockwise will have the opposite effect. It’s extremely important to note here that tuning pegs are sensitive, and that cranking the pegs too quickly will result in broken strings. It’s a good idea to tune slowly by moving the tuning pegs just a bit at a time.   For tuning by ear, first get your... Read More

5 Benefits of Piano Lessons for Your Kids

...elements into piano lessons. Some students may be too young to pursue rigorous vocal training. Others prefer to pursue piano over vocal training. Many musicians vocalize as they play which can offer further opportunities for musical expression and understanding with their whole selves. Singing, tapping, humming, and stomping are all part of the variety of ways one can explore further expression while playing the piano.   3. Pianists explore melody, harmony, and accompaniment. By reading two lines of music simultaneously, students gain an appreciation for the way that musical elements fit together cooperatively. This diversity allows students to explore music theory and experience the variety of ways an instrument can traverse a composition and interact with additional instrumentation.   4. Students develop focus, dexterity, and emotional understanding. Expressive outlets, ... Read More
