From a young age, I have been deeply involved in the musical community. I began studying piano when I was three, and throughout my education, I’ve learned from such accomplished instructors as Belle Mehus and Christopher Taylor. After receiving a Bachelor’s Degree in Piano Performance from The University of Mary in North Dakota, I continue to study, teach, perform, and compose. I’ve also studied guitar and bass for nearly twenty years.  I love playing and teaching these instruments because of the strong correlations between the way they are tuned and played and the way western music theory works—as well as the pure enjoyment that comes from them!  Additionally, I have twenty years of education in oboe and other woodwind instruments. I was principle oboist for two orchestras and reached the third round of auditions for 3rd oboe in The Minnesota Orchestra in 2006. Lastly, I have been an active vocalist since being a boy soprano in Menotti's Amahl and the Night Visitors...

Born in Atlanta, GA, I began performing vocally and on saxophone, at the young age of 7, and it has taken me all over the world. I discovered a joy for teaching music through creative and fun methods at Lee University in Cleveland, TN (2004-2008)

I currently live in the Orlando, FL area and am outgoing, funny, and optimistic. My experience, as a finalist on American Idol, in 2007 ignited a passion to not only perform but to teach. With over 8 years of private teaching experience, I understand that learning happens differently with everyone.

Whether you are just beginning or are wanting to reach the next level in your musical career; I am here to help motivate you and give you the tools to reach your personal goals.

My name is Daryl and I love music! I am a professional saxophone player and teacher. I also teach drum set, percussion, and music theory. I have a background heavily set in the jazz and improvisational realms as well as classical, blues, and rock. I recently received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from City College of New York with an emphasis in jazz and improvisation. I have been playing professional gigs for the last 8 years (in Denver as well as New York City) and have been teaching for the last three years, which I have come to find great passion for!
My philosophy as a teacher is that every student is different and may require a unique approach. That is why I strive to really understand what direction the student wishes to go in, as well as their current skills. Also, to me, knowing the students’ likes and dislikes (not only in music but in life) is an important step to really connecting to them.
I have been playing drums for about 8 years and have...

Hello, my name is Patrick, I have a Bachelor’s degree in music and Master ‘s degree in saxophone performance and have been playing the saxophone for thirteen years. For the last four years I have been teaching private lessons for all ages and skill levels, jazz or classical music. My philosophy emphasizes teaching a love of music and listening as a path to better musicianship on top of the regular techniques used to improve a student’s tone, articulation, etc.
My performance experience ranges from marching bands, wind ensembles, symphonic bands, jazz big bands, eastern European wind ensemble, saxophone quartets, jazz combos and a host of different chamber ensembles. I was recently fortunate enough to perform as a member of the University of Idaho Jazz Ensemble I with legendary saxophonists/clarinetists Paquito D’Rivera and Anat Cohen. Also recently, I performed with the University of Idaho Silver Saxophone Quartet in the North American Saxophone Alliance’s...

Hello there! If you are reading this then you or your child must be interested in learning how to read and play music. I am so excited for the journey you are about to begin!

My name is Amy and I am a certified music teacher. I graduated from Western Michigan University with a degree in instrumental music education, and my primary instrument is clarinet. I have taught instrumental music for 8 years in the Valley.

I enjoy teaching students of all ages and abilities, especially beginners! I teach beginner lessons in piano, and brass instruments, beginner to intermediate level students in woodwinds, and beginner up to advanced high-school level clarinet.

Originally from Chicago, I attended Chicago Musical College for 2 years before moving to Calif. and receiving my B.A. in music from Cal. State Northridge. I also have an M.A. in Education from there. I have been a band director in public schools for over 40 years. My bands have won over 50 1st place awards in music competitions. I have been playing keyboard professionally since the age of 14. I truly enjoy working with both kids and adults on a one on one basis, and provide a relaxed and friendly, yet goal-oriented experience.

I have proudly been teaching music privately for 10 years. I have worked with hundreds of children molding their young musical talents. I enjoy being able to see them grow from year to year which is one of the reasons I chose private as opposed to public schools. It's a thrill to have a student with me from a little kid in elementary school all the way until graduation and, know that I was there to help them not only through their musical endeavors but, also through life.

I have experience in all types of music and, I also specialize in NYSSMA, SCMEA, college, and pre-college prep. In college I studied jazz and classical music and also participated in musical productions in and out of school. I played for many years in my church choir as a flautist and clarinetist. I have also been assistant engineer on recordings. I am also very knowledgeable in rock and pop music, and I find it a lot of fun sharing that with my...

For the last 20 plus years, I have taught kids as young as 3 and as old as a…they won’t tell me! , and have been participating in band and musical programs for over 50 years.

I began my musical training when I was 5. I started on a small 12 bass accordion and loved it. I moved up to the full size accordions when I was 6 years old and it was as big as I was! I wanted to learn more, so my mom took pity on me and pulled out her alto saxophone for me when I was 8. My love of music grew more with each instrument I learned. With the help of my band teachers in middle school and high school, I studied: Alto, tenor and bass saxophone, clarinet, flute,and piano before I left high school. My band instructor and his wife gave me a wonderful opportunity to play in the Stage band in high school along with a special band during the summer. Their guidance and encouragement lead me into a wonderful College where I studied music. In 1970, I graduated from Adams State College in Alamosa...

Let's start from the beginning. Music quite literally moved me about as early in life as it could. As a toddler, I bounced in the child seat in the back of my parents' car each time The Police came on over the radio. It's no surprise that to this day, Sting is perhaps the biggest influence on my career. By the time I was 6 years old, I could sing along to just about every Beatles album in its entirety, while I also enjoyed running around in circles until I got so dizzy I fell over to Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon.

It probably was not a shock when I wanted to play a musical instrument only a couple of years later. I picked up the clarinet at age 9, and only two years later added the saxophone. In another two years, I wanted to have a rock band in addition to performing in concert, jazz and marching bands at school. That led me to try out the guitar. However, in yet another two years, I picked up the instrument that changed my life: the electric bass guitar. It...
