My great love and passion in life is music and I really love to share this with my students. I teach voice and harp. I work with music in a therapeutic capacity and I am an active performer, performing many times a week. I love to write and compose music as well and this year I released my album of original harp compositions entitled "A Sacred Journey". I bring all these elements to my students of the joy and creativity that music brings, the tremendous healing and transformational power that healing has and I encourage and assist students with their performance goals. Due to my own strong performance background and my work as a therapeutic musician, I am able to help students overcome fears and blocks to performing. I have been very fortunate to have had some incredible and world class music teachers and mentors who have coached me in both my instruments. I really believe in helping students to find what makes them come alive and feel passionate for their art. I tailor my...

I have a unique musical past that has led me to where I am today. I started playing piano at age 6, flute at age 10, and harp at age 16.

Why and how did I get into taking harp lesson? Well, I remember being mystified by the harp in Fantasia and when I was in high school, my dad found a teacher and after the first lesson, I was hooked!

I attended Penn State University and graduated in 2009 with a BA Music degree and concentration on harp. I stayed at Penn State for an additional year to complete a Professional Performance Certificate on the harp. I have been lucky to have played some of the best orchestral repertoire in some of the most amazing concert halls such as Carnegie Hall, Heinz Hall, and the Kimmel Center.

I am currently pursuing a Masters of Harp Performance at Temple University. I study with the harpist of the Philadelphia Orchestra, Elizabeth Hainen. I will be done with my Masters in 2014 and after I plan to take orchestra auditions and teach!

Harpist Lucia S. is a young musician with an eclectic and fascinating background.

Recently returned to the U.S. after a Fulbright Grant in Paris, France, Ms. S. has performed solo, chamber and orchestral works in notable venues including the American Embassy in Paris, the Universität der Künste in Berlin, the Auditorio Nacional de Música in Madrid, the Théâtre Montansier de Versailles, and the Grand Ampitheatre de la Sarbonne in Paris.

Recent engagements have brought her into the realm of improvisational and new music groups including the Nonce Ensemble, and the Boston New Music Initiative. In 2011, the Aurora Harp Duo with harpist Stina Hellberg toured in Sweden and France performing new music written by Stockholm based composers. With her explorations in new music, Ms. S. hopes to test the technical and perceived limitations of the harp.

Other honors for her solo playing include performances for former Governor of Massachusetts Michael Dukakis, members of the...

I graduated with a bachelors degree in Music Composition at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and continue to write, produce, and record in all of my musical projects. As a self-taught musician, my goal is to help students strengthen their ears and sharpen their mind's eye.

Hi,
My name is Mandy and I'm excited to be a part of TakeLessons.com for several reasons:
1) because it led you here to find out more about me and the possibility of beginning lessons with me 2) I believe TakeLessons.com is a great resource to finding highly qualified musicians in your area and 3) because if you do decide to take lessons with me through TakeLessons.com they will make sure that I am doing my part to ensure a positive and effective music experience.
Before I get into my credentials I would like to just share a little bit about myself. I grew up here, in the Jackson area, and in fact have lived in the same house my whole life- the same house where lessons will be held. I live with my mom, dad, and a 14 year old golden retriever "Baby." If you are not a pet person, no worries! Baby is an outside dog who spends most of her time lounging by the back door. The best way to get to the music parlor is through the front door.
My musical studies began at the age of...

My name's Matt, I've been playing guitar since 1986 and have been teaching guitar since 1991.

When not teaching, I'm usually found practicing or performing with my band onstage or at an open mic night somewhere. I grew up in the Pacific NW & love it here..

I've networked & jammed/played with many NW Legends including: Roger Fisher (Heart),
Jeff Kathan (Johnny Winter/The Firm/Montrose),
Lynn Sorensen (Paul Rogers/Bad Company/Free)
Donny Evola (Queensryche/Geoff Tate/Foghat)
Doug Mcgrew (Geoff Tate/Queensryche)
Jamie Vandal (Jamie & The Vandals),
& Robert "Big Bobby" Hammer

I have had many guitar teachers myself including one true Famous Rock Star legend here in Pacific NW.

So you can see the music bug hit me hard. Because I really do love music.
The only thing I think that I'm better at than guitar, is teaching others to do the same..

I studied music at Washington State University formally, & then many, many years by ear on my own, along with my many...

I began my musical training on the piano at the age of 6. Later, I took lessons on the harp and double majored for a few years. I mainly focused on the harp as a performer but always continued playing and teaching the piano. I have performed with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Boston Ballet, Opera Boston, Boston Modern Orchestra Project and many other orchestras and ensembles. In 2011 I was the harp fellow at the prestigious Tanglewood Music Festival.

I was awarded full scholarships for my Bachelors of Music from the Boston Conservatory (2009) and my master’s at Boston University College of Fine Arts in (2011). I garnered numerous awards and honors, including first prize at the Bulgarian International Young Artists Competition “Young Virtuoso,” second prize at the USA International Music Competition, and I was selected candidate to perform at the 9th World Harp Congress, in Dublin, Ireland, "Focus on Youth" concerts.

Currently I am on the faculty of Long Island City...

Hello! I'm here to help you learn!

I'm a well-educated Math and Science Tutor who is available to clarify any problems that a student has in understanding their course material. I specialize in General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Math, and Statistics. My objective is to help the student develop problem-solving skills and proper study habits, learn to effectively review for exams, and understand the subject.

I studied at San Diego State University where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Biology, and a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Chemistry. I tutored while I was a graduate student at SDSU, and later, privately, as well. Additionally, I've worked for over 20 years in a variety of Science and Technology jobs. I very much enjoy teaching and have a mastery of Math and Science subjects enabling me to be an effective tutor.

I completed my Doctorate of Musical Arts in 2006 at the Shenandoah Conservatory, but I have been performing music since I was three year's old. Music is a passion on mine and I want to share that passion with my students. I teach in a relaxed yet technical style. I currently teach Voice, Piano, and Celtic Harp (Lever). I believe learning music should be fun no matter the instrument, style, or genre. My students have also expressed how nurtured and safe they feel in my studio.

I love helping students learn and better themselves. I believe patience is key, and I always do my best to make learning fun!
