Born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, at the age of 9, Natalie knew music was something that was just a part of who she was. Writing songs on the piano before lessons could be scheduled, Natalie found herself immersed in a medium that would bring her joy for the rest of her life.

By age 14 Natalie had won several trophies competing in Classical piano with the Illinois Music Association.

As an adult, she would go on to fill her life with the world of music as a singer, songwriter, performer and recording artist.

Graduating from Elmhurst College (1997) with a Bachelor's in Music, Natalie received high accolades earning a membership in the Lambda Sigma Psi Music Honor Society.

During her college years, Natalie created and owned a local music publication called, "The Local Buzz". At this moment she had discovered her desire to teach. "I just wanted everyone I knew in music to know and use what I was learning, or had learned from the music classes,...

Educated in Russia, 33 years of piano and music theory experience, 20 years of which in the US.
Five years ago obtained a Harmony Road Music method certification and established a very successful music school in Maryland. At the moment the school provides lessons in piano, guitar, violin, vocals, music theory and music history.

Patrick is a lifelong musician. As a child he used to beat on pots and pans with cooking utensils. Not much has changed, as those same pots and pans are still his favorite instrument. To date he has experience playing violin, piano, trumpet, guitar, bass, drums, pedal steel, sitar, tabla, lute, and cornetto. He enjoys playing all kinds of music from jazz to flamenco to country to heavy metal.

In addition to writing, recording and teaching, Patrick has toured the country with various musical acts, as well as toured as a stand-up comedian with a musical twist. He has also been featured on The Home Shopping Network for Esteban Guitars numerous times.

Jill holds a Bachelor's degree in Music Education and has master's work in choral music. For many years she has taught private and group music lessons to all ages and many varying styles of singing and instrumental music. Her lessons are unlike the ones she remembers from childhood; Jill's lessons are full of fun and excitement each week. It is amazing how students react to Jill's great humor and the lessons certainly prove that learning is a process. Jill brings more than just technique to the studio.

Having been a soloist herself, Jill knows what it takes to prepare and rehearse and therefore she makes it clear which concept the student will learn each week. With an instrumental and choral background, Jill brings music to life and then shares with the students how to keep music in their lives forever.

Jill has worked with children in many schools, churches and after school programs that she designed. Her success with students who are very young or...

Michael first sang on stage, at the age of 3, the same time that he began learning piano. He went on to explore multiple instruments throughout his early years and also developed as a vocalist for theatre and concerts, including competing in Star Search in the mid-80s, the forerunner to American Idol.

Michael earned his Bachelor of Music Education from Troy State University in Troy, AL and Master of Music in Composition from Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant, MI, where he studied with world-renowned composer, Dr. David R. Gillingham.

While a graduate student at CMU, Michael taught sophomore Music Theory and senior level Form & Analysis.

Michael was one of only five composers in 2006 to be inducted into the United Michigan Collegiate Composers, and was subsequently commissioned to compose a piece based on the instrumentation of Igor...

I have been teaching piano for 7 years. I attended the International Academy of Music. I love teaching and I love my students! I've had several students who did not want to take piano lessons, but their parents made them come anyway. After several weeks of studying with me, they loved it!

I have taught students from age 7 to 39. I have taught beginning, intermediate, and advanced students. I also have experience teaching group lessons and have group lessons twice a year. I help my students to succeed in any public performances by giving them lots of practice and making sure they are confident with their music.

I've been teaching private lessons for over a decade now. First I taught lessons as a self-employed college student, and then my during graduate studies I worked through a music academy in Dallas. I've been playing piano for over 20 years and guitar and drums for 15. I've been in various bands, personally recorded several albums of my own compositions, and have taught students from ages 7-17 consistently. I teach part time as a high school teacher in the area and I enjoy helping young people learn, whether it's guitar, piano, drums, or even psychology

Music continues to be the focal point of my life! It makes my world go around. I have always been involved in playing for something: an organist at a church, a pianist for soloists, accompanying performing groups, pianist with orchestras, and many times, solo performances on the piano or organ.

Teaching is second nature to me, having taught music in public schools, plus classroom grades 3-6, for a total of 20 years. I have taught many piano and organ students privately over a 30 year span and enjoy teaching all ages. Quite of a number of my students are now teachers themselves.

I love introducing young children to music and delight in watching their newly acquired skill become something fun in their life. I also enjoy the challenge of teaching adults who've made the late-life decision to "finally learn to play the piano". Excitement for learning music and coming to lessons is the pay back for good teaching.

Music is a life time gift to yourself that just...
