Hi!

I have taught piano for about 20 years, with great success. Some of my students are as young as 3 years old, (including my own son) some are in their 70s, and everything in between. I love to teach piano and guitar, it gives me great joy and personal satisfaction. I've traveled the world in concert, but after having my baby I have settled in Beverly Hills, CA where I perform for and teach many celebrities and their children.

I am very patient, caring and encouraging in my teaching approach.

I hope to hear from you soon, and to have you among my many happy students.

Oksana.

My Musical and Education Background

Hi! My name is Paul and I'd love to share the joy of playing the guitar with you! I have been a professional musician and teacher for over 20 years. I know much about playing the guitar and being an artist. I am passionate about music, which is why lessons with me are so fun. I know how to customize a program for the motivated student that will bring out the potential of the student at all levels. I will give the student a complete and practical program for advancement and help he or she discover their own talents at a pace that works for them. I even on occasion will conduct blues jams and other challenges such as recording and how to do a You Tube video production that will give the student a chance to use there developing skills by themselves and with others. Here is feedback from one of the parents of a student of mine:

"Alex progressed much further with guitar than he did with piano and he actually got to the point where he enjoyed playing on his own....

My name is Chad, and I am passionate about guitar! It wasn't until I was 14 years old that I picked up my first guitar, but from that point forward guitar has been a major part of my life. Since then, I have been able to write songs, record, and perform with the guitar in a variety of bands and musical settings. I have had the privilege of teaching guitar for the past 5 and 1/2 years to a variety of students, ages, and skill levels. During that time, I taught nine semesters of guitar in the classroom and completed my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction. My experience and educational background allow me to offer quality, focused guitar instruction, in an engaging and fun atmosphere! The majority of my students range from 5 to 25 years of age, so I have a lot of experience with kids!

My goal as a teacher is to make music enjoyable and educational for any student. I meet each of my students at their level and my passion is to ensure that all of my students' musical dreams come true.

I have studied classical guitar and saxophone since 1999. I continued my studies of both instruments while at university. While at UNT, I learned how to play all of the wind and percussion instruments and I studied piano as well. I have played in several bands and I have recorded three albums with those various groups (all original music).

Hi there :)

My name is Ray. I am 24 years old, from Queens NY. I studied classical music for many years as a youngster at Aaron Copeland School of Music in the college prep program. Here I was also introduced to jazz, and around the same time began experimenting with synthesizers. Throughout high school, I was a very sought after musician and performer. I went on to study Electronic Production and Design at Berklee College of Music in Boston.

I've been successfully teaching many instruments and levels of proficiency for 10 years now (yes, I started when I was 14!), and can safely say it is my passion.

I really enjoy reading science, math, and philosophy books, and currently work in the LA music industry producing pop music.

I am an experienced guitar teacher / player with a BA in Instrumental performance and an MFA degree in Composition.
I have experience teaching all levels, in various styles (Basic theory, Improvisation, Jazz, Blues, Rock/Fusion, Classical Guitar) and I have taught students ranging in age from 6 to 55.
From August 2008 'till May 2010 I was a full-time teacher at Fun with Music in Chicago
I have studied in Chicago with Frank Dawson (Chicago Jazz Ensemble), Norman Ruiz (classical guitarist), David Bloom (Bloom School of Jazz), Peter Lerner and Bill Boris (guitar theory & improvisation).
I have shared stage with major names from the Chicago Jazz and Blues scene like George Freeman, Ari Brown Quartet, Clyde “Lightning” George.
I am also experienced in teaching music theory, orchestration & composition.

If you want to learn what they teach in the guitar program (GIT) at Musicians Institute here in Hollywood, but don't want to spend $30k on tuition and living expenses to do it... Or, if you are planning to attend GIT yourself and want to get way ahead of the curve early, so you too can graduate with top honors... Schedule some lessons with me, at a fraction of the GIT price-tag!

Beginning, intermediate and advanced guitar players will all benefit greatly from the vast wealth of guitar- and music-related information and experience that I have to offer (no brag, just fact).

My influences include, but are by no means limited to: Frank Zappa, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Sting, The Cure, Duran Duran, Prince, Lady Gaga, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Miles Davis, Christina Aguilera, Jimi Hendrix, Queen, Béla Bartók, Igor Stravinsky...and nearly everyone else making interesting music in the world.

I'm an experienced musician and music teacher who has played piano, guitar, bass and drums in many different professional projects over the years and provides lessons on all of these instruments. Stylistically, I'm also very diverse, and can play and teach rock, jazz, folk, classical and flamenco.
