Rebecca D

Instruments: Piano Voice

I work to foster a love of music and a desire to excel in each of my students. I want them to practice because they love it and want to succeed! I also feel that it is important to be a well rounded musician, so we will focus on theory, sight reading, composition, musicianship, performance-practice, and other important and fun aspects of music. I believe that it is important to be grounded in a classical foundation (for both piano and voice students), but I also make sure to bring in pieces of the student's favorite style- which I find helps motivate them to practice and enjoy lessons even more.

Gregory P

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Bass Guitar Organ Music Keyboard

My approach seeks to breathe air under the wings of the students' interest and attention by making them a constant starting point, while also laying the groundwork of introspection for students to develop and apply their own practices of learning, exploration, and innovation going forward. My teaching methods focus on considering embodied experiences of music, as well as a range of philosophical considerations. Students will be encouraged to think about how feelings, subjectivities, sounds, and spaces interact in complex ways, along with a series of other metaphysical questions that I believe are essential to a holistic praxis of understanding and learning music.

Hannah L

Instruments: Piano Voice

Practice Makes Progress! My studio of aspiring musicians of all ages strives for the motto I came up with as an alternative to the popular, yet technically impossible and anxiety-inducing Practice Makes Perfect. I am a dedicated professional singer in the DC Metro area, and I operate Hannahs Music Studio as a way to share what I have learned through my many years of music studies and performances. I have had the opportunity of performing multiple operatic roles in Italy and San Marino, as well as during my Bachelor of Arts in Music degree for Vocal Performance at Luther College (2017), and during my Master of Music degree in Vocal Performance and Opera at the University of North Texas (2019).

Greta R

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola

I have 8 years of teaching experience. Actually I was very busy performing but I found some time to deliever this passion of mine to the young generations because they are the real future, for a better world. How we can achieve this? By making them being in contact with music, with arts, literature, nature and by teaching them how to love their families and friends! Only this way the world will be a better place to live for the next generations. Read More

Whitney C

Instruments: Piano Voice

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

Elizabeth C

Instruments: Voice

My method is the chest mix head method. I teach lessons about chest, mix, and head voice and how to smoothly transition between them and eventually have them become one. I help students find their range, I teach proper breathing techniques and warm ups that are right for helping them reach their full voice potential and even assist with choosing the perfect song for auditions and give audition confidence prep tips from someone who has auditioned and made performance roles in musical theatre productions in Pittsburgh Pa.

Alesheya F

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

Piano: For beginning students who are children, i typically start with Alfred's Basic Piano Methods. Once students have developed the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in. I will then guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun no matter their ability level. Voice: For beginning students, I will explore the voice types (Soprano, Mezzo Soprano, Tenor, Baritone, Bass) by learning vocal scales in order to determine the repertoire appropriate for each individual student.

Cailin S

Instruments: Voice

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Hold yourself to practicing regularly, even if you have to schedule it like you schedule class or work. Putting yourself in the mindset at an expected time each day to practice can go a long way in developing focus. When in the practice room, keep realistic goals for yourself, even if they seem small, and practice intentionally. Going to practice with the intent of getting better at a technique or a part of a piece helps students measure their progress more effectively and feel more proud of the work they put in!

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My elementary school music teacher and high school voice teacher helped foster my love of music, but the professional encouragement came from a college voice teacher and now dear friend and mentor. I was singing for the joy of taking lessons and being in choir, but this teacher believed in me on a deeper level and encouraged me to a declare a major. It turned out to be the best decision I've ever made! I believe encouraging students is more important than some think, and taking every chance available to inspire a student through encouragement and positive reinforcement is very important to me.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My most recent vocal coach told me after a setback, "Keep trying, and soon you will strike gold." Soon after that, I was cast in Dickinson College's production of Next to Normal as Natalie, and it was the most profound performing experience I've ever had! Putting such an intense and important story on stage was incredibly challenging, both from a performance and personal standpoint, but it was incredibly rewarding. In addition, I made my opera debut in Florence, Italy, where opera was born! Finally, my most recent recital was a program of all women composers, which I was proud to choose and highlight stories that are not always often told.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would probably be an elementary school teacher! I love working with kids, which intensified in my four years as a camp counselor through high school and college. I love kids' imaginations and helping them to bring out their creativity, especially in subjects they otherwise find boring or difficult. Seeing the light bulb go off is a great feeling! If I wasn't teaching music, I think I would be finding teaching positions in elementary schools in the US, or potentially serving in the Peace Corps overseas.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love singing classical music of any kind, but especially contemporary classical pieces. Sometimes they are a little jarring to listen to, or even confusing, but that's what I love about it! Bringing out a new interpretation can be so rewarding, and I think it's fun to work on learning seemingly hard melodies and mastering the difficult harmonies against them. I think there's a beauty in some of the more dissonant contemporary pieces that are so unfamiliar compared to the great works of composers like Mozart, and exploring them is a wonderful challenge!

Jazz Scales: The Pentatonic Scale

...something along the lines of, “Man, I don’t have any bebop language anymore. All I can play are pentatonic scales.” What he was getting at was that, playing professionally, he got much better at pentatonic scales at the expense of his jazz language.   The moral of the story is: the pentatonic is a great, useful, versatile scale. It’s easy to learn and pretty easy to make sound great. It can be easily applied to a variety of musical genres. It’s a scale you’ll use very often if you play music outside of the jazz idiom. But, if you wanna keep your jazz chops... Read More

Yes, dedicated practice is vital if you want to enhance your skills, learn to read music, or prepare for a performance, but playing without any plan or intention makes room for creativity and musical growth at the same time. Something I always do with my piano students is to dedicate the first 10 minutes of a lesson to improvisation, no matter what the student’s age or background is.

Betty Modlow, an elderly woman from Morningside Heights, who marched with both a mini-xylophone and a tambourine, drew parallels to the West Village’s annual Halloween parade, which she participates in annually. “It was started by one person as a small community event,” she said “and now it’s huge.” Consequently, the Halloween parade also features illuminated puppets made with the help of Processional Arts Workshop. The giant lanterns this evening, which ranged from Trojan horses to Gothic churches, were created by parents and children during a week of well-attended drop-in lantern making sessions at Miller Theater.
