Hello, I'm Alison and welcome to my page! I truly believe that music is a gift and I am passionate about sharing that gift through teaching and playing. I love music and I definitely love teaching private lessons, which I have been doing for about 7 years now! Every student brings new challenges of which I'm ready to tackle with them and help them grow.

I received my degree in viola performance from the University of Louisville School of Music in May 2010. I studied under Chien-Ju Liao along with many other great violists in the Louisville community. I've also had the pleasure of playing with many quartets, chamber ensembles and orchestras including Louisville Youth Orchestra, All-State, the UofL Symphony, and the Louisville Orchestra. Some of my greatest moments involve playing in Carnegie Hall and premiering a world-class ballet performance with the UofL Symphony Orchestra. Music has been a part of my life since I was little and I can't imagine life without it. Along with...

Since my birth, my life was influenced by music and my father's passion to sing. My sense of music started not with understanding of lyrics, but of melodies and rhythms. As matter of fact, the first language I learned was music!! How is this possible?! Well, because of my hearing disability, I did not speak fluently and very well until I was in 9th Grade!! But with God's grace, I understood the language of music first!!

At the age of 10 months, I was hit with a deadly disease: Spinal Meningitis. But thank God, I survived. Because of the disease, I became legally deaf (profound-severed) in my left ear and hard-of-hearing (severed) in my right ear. I currently use a hearing-aide device on my right ear. Regardless of my hearing disability, I have the gift of playing music, understanding music, and living musically. I have learned and played keyboard since I was 8 years old.

Piano was not the first instrument I learned. I started off with playing drums which is my secondary. I...

I am a teacher, drummer, percussionist, pianist, guitarist, composer, and performer from Miami, Florida with a total of 16 years of experience; but above all, I’m just someone who enjoys passing on the same happiness that music brings me.

My dad, a fellow drummer, began teaching me at the age of 8. From this point on I loved every minute of it. I began participating in various music programs and school concerts. By the age of 14 I began writing and performing original music. Since then I have performed in various universities and colleges, such as Berklee College of Music, FIU, UM, and Miami Dade. I have also performed in concert halls such as Gusman Hall, and various venues and restaurants such as Tobacco Road, Uva Restaurant and Lounge, Studio A, The Vagabond, Club Flavor, Purdie Lounge, Jazzid, and many more. With these experiences I am capable of showing the student exactly what it takes to perform and how they can reach that point.

Toward the end of high school, I...

I am currently in my last year of graduate school at San Jose State University where I will obtain a Master of Arts in Jazz Studies, with an emphasis in drum set performance. I completed my Bachelor of Music in Music Education from San Jose State where I mainly studied snare drum, timpani, and mallet percussion, but also studied the fundamentals in brass, woodwinds, strings, and voice. Additionally, I took private jazz drum set lessons to focus on becoming a versatile musician and teacher.

As an undergraduate student I had the opportunity to teach percussion courses at a music camp to students between the ages of 6 and 17 that had no prior music experience. I developed daily music lessons to help all the students understand musical concepts and performance techniques. This opportunity helped me understand the importance of teaching music to children and how every student has a different way of learning. I always strive to shape my teaching style to my students needs.

As a...

Hi!
My name is Felipe and I am a graduate of the University of North Texas where I studied Music Theory and am classically trained at the guitar. I am currently persuing my master's degree at Texas State University. I can play many instruments and love helping others learn how to play and have fun.

My introduction to music was when I got a drum set my sophomore year of high school. I taught myself to play by playing along with my favorite bands like Pearl Jam, the Smashing Pumpkins and the Beatles. I started teaching myself to play the guitar two years later during my senior year of high school. Soon after, I learned how to play electric bass, ukulele and mandolin. Since then, I have played in many garage bands and pursued an education in music.

My teaching style is very laid-back. I understand that all students, no matter what age, are different. I don't expect everyone to learn music my way but help to put music in terms that the student understands and feels...

Hi, I'm Glenn. Thank you for viewing my profile. I've been teaching students for over 20 years, playing all styles and levels of music, from day-one beginners to seasoned pros seeking to sharpen their playing skills. I teach both traditional notation and tablature, writing my own teaching methods in both formats. I can transcribe any song or solo for you, and can arrange the music to fit your particular level of skill.

I earned a B.A. in Music Composition and an A.A. in music theory, and have worked as a professional musician since graduation. I play in a variety of bands that cover rock, jazz, surf, oldies, and country, and also write and arrange music for those bands as well as writing my own music that can be heard on my own Youtube channel.

The first song I learned to play was "Pipeline." I own and play several acoustic and electric guitars, as well as ukuleles, mandolins, bass guitars, and lap steel guitars. I'm personable and patient, and my lessons include...

I began my musical journey at the tender age of four and see no end in sight! Though I may only be 20, I already have years of performing and professional experience under my belt. I have performed on drums for all kinds of groups and acts, from small jazz combos, to singer/songwriters, to heavy metal bands. I have played and gigged on percussion in classical ensembles, concert bands, percussion ensembles, and for musical theater productions. I have also performed extensively with groups on both guitar and keyboards. I have been lucky enough to share the stage with many great musicians including Tom Chapin and the Chapin Sisters, Erik Lawrence (Levon Helm Band), Larry Mckenna, and Peter Brendler.

As a drummer, and a musician in general, I draw inspiration from a wide variety of genres. I appreciate the Jazz greats as much as I appreciate the great drummers of rock or metal or hip hop, etc. I have found that learning these various perspectives of drumming has improved all...
