I began my love for music at the age of 12 when I joined middle school band to play the saxophone. From then it was “love at first sight,” and I became completely immersed in the fascination of music. By age 18, I had participated in many Honor Bands across the country and furthered my studies in music earning both a Bachelor’s and Masters Degree from Morgan State University. I have performed in Classical, Jazz, and Modern Contemporary atmospheres in both Saxophone and Piano, as well as; teach elementary music in the Baltimore City Public School System. I have a very diverse background, and furthermore; I truly enjoy teaching music to students of all ages and abilities.

If you are a seasoned performer, I will guide you in developing agility, musicality, range, dynamics, and phrase shape. If you are a first-time vocal student, I will provide an engaging, supportive environment to find your voice.

My instruction is based on professionalism, experience and range from more than 25 years of singing and 10 years of teaching. I have advanced education in vocal performance and am an AmSAT certified teacher of the Alexander Technique, which allow me to integrate the intellectual and physical aspects of singing. I use my energy, attentiveness and creativity to tailor lessons towards each student's unique needs.
I base my vocal technique on the Italianate tradition of operatic "bel canto," but also incorporate broad experience in musical theater, jazz, and early to contemporary classical music.

* Breath control

* Healthy vocal production "bel canto"

* Fach transition

Hello,
I am Vasiliy M, Boston University School of Music recent Alumni (DMA in Composition). We live in Boston for seven years, since Fall 2002; before that time , we have lived in New York, where I was studying Composition at Mannes College, The New School For Music. I have received both BM, and MM degrees from Mannes in 1999, and 2001, respectively. Before an arrival to US, in 1994, I was studying Electric Bass performance on Jazz Department, and Classical Composition, at Moldova State Conservatory, from 1988 to 1993, respectively.
I was raised in the family, where music was an essential part of our life; my father, Grigoriy, before his retirement, was a military band trombone player, and, quite naturally, I was exposed to music, and encouraged to learn playing an instrument of my choice, from my early childhood.
My mother, Anisia Kondrat'ievna, possesses both beautiful vocal abilities and perfect pitch , although she has never had a chance to develop her natural...

My name is Ryan T, and I am a guitarist and vocalist with a degree in Music Education major from Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. I have been teaching guitar, music theory, and songwriting lessons to students of all ages for the past seven years.

I am excited to draw on my experience as an educator and as a band leader to teach students the tools and techniques necessary to make the music they love.

I work with all of my students to foster their creativity, confidence, and curiosity, as I believe these are the qualities that are essential for a skilled musician. Music is a powerful language that is common to all people. I am a musician because it allows me to express myself artistically, to relate my experience to others, and because it moves me!

Students who take lessons with me will have the opportunity to learn acoustic and electric guitar technique, music theory, music notation, ear training, songwriting techniques, recording techniques, and how to work with...

I grew up in a musical home and have been playing piano since the age of four. I have had all sorts of different music teachers in my life and I have always looked to them for inspiration for my own teaching--what would I do differently? What would I do the same?
In my opinion, a teacher is an extremely energetic, charged individual who is entirely focused on the progress of the student. A teacher is inspiring, motivating, and makes learning a fun and enjoyable experience. I strive for this level of excellence in each of my lessons. It is extremely important to me that my students learn at their own pace, while mastering techniques and building a strong foundation.
I teach both piano and guitar, and I am excited to start you off on your musical journey!

I was classically trained on the piano from the age of four. When I was twelve, I decided to expand my musical horizons and pick up the guitar. During high school, I became very serious about my musical studies. I...

I have been working with students of all ages for the past six years as a private and group lesson instructor, bandleader and clinician. At a summer camp in New York I would regularly have kids from other sections sitting in on my classes because of the creative and exciting learning environment that I create.

As a graduate of Berklee College of Music I have experienced every genre and teaching method. As a result I can shape my curriculum to the student's personal interests and preferred learning style. During lessons I take a solid foundation of music theory and technical practice and place it in context to modern musical examples, allowing students to understand the material on their own terms. I am patient, animated and I love what I do!

I attended Brandeis University from 1991-1995 with a double major in music and psychology. While there, I received the Elliot Aronson '54 Prize for Excellence in Psychology and the Dorothy Haas Siegel Music Award. After Brandeis, I attended Northeastern University School of Law and graduated in 1998 with a juris doctor degree and I am currently also a licensed attorney in the state of Massachusetts.

I Won a state-wide piano competition at the General Federation of Women’s Clubs of Massachusetts in 1988 and began to teach piano privately at the age of 16 to students of all ages.

Both my high school private piano teacher, Leslie Hurwitz and my high school orchestra teacher, Pasquale Tassone, composed pieces specifically for me to perform (the latter was performed as part of my bachelor’s degree recital at Brandeis). The piece written by Leslie Hurwitz won me the piano competition in 1988.

I studied privately with the chairman of performance at New England...

Music has always been a large part of my life. I began piano lessons at age 5 and sang with my church and school choirs growing up. I always enjoyed participating in school musicals, band concerts, and theatre. I began private voice study at age 16, and started my own student-run musical theatre company the same year. I strive to motivate my students to be unique musicians with the confidence to pursue their artistic passions!
