I am originally from Stamford, Connecticut and I currently reside in the DC Metropolitan area where I am a music teacher.

I also obtained my Master of Science Degree in Human Services from Post University in 2010.

Elementary school principal and music teacher for more than 10 years. BA in Music theory and history, Recording and performing experience.

Music is something that everyone can share and express themselves through, and i want to help everyone to find that avenue of expression! I studied drums at the Drummers Collective in New York City, where i studied several genres of music. I play everything from rock, jazz, soul, R&B, Caribbean, and Latin music. If a student is interested in a certain style of music i would be happy to dive into that further, or explore other genres that may peek interest. The difference between me and many other teachers is that i genuinely love teaching and watching my students grow as players and musicians.

Rowell holds two Master of Music degrees in Violin Performance and Violin Pedagogy as well as a Bachelor of Music degree in Violin Performance from Shenandoah Conservatory of Music located in Winchester, VA. He enjoys encouraging students in taking their instrument to a new level while still enjoying it. The methods he uses will be different from one student to another, as individuals have different ways of learning. Promoting positive reinforcement helps build confidence. "I believe the key to a growing musician is a strong foundation."

"I enjoy travelling and meeting new people, especially in different places where they are most comfortable in. That's why I offer my services in the homes of my students. Parents and students are glad that they don't have to leave the comforts of their home to fight traffic trying to get to lessons... but I'm dedicated enough to do that for them just to reap the rewards of what the students will learn and take with them!"

Hello, my name is Richard. I love all things music, but my primary areas of focus are Piano and Music Literacy and Theory. My musical journey began when I was 6 years old, shortly after my grandparent's piano came to reside in my parents' home. I began piano lessons during that summer after first grade. By the time I was in junior high, my teacher thought I was ready for a more advanced teacher, and so I began taking lessons from someone who had traveled to Europe to study music. In college, I continued my musical journey, graduating in 2002 with a Bachelors in Church Music with a Piano Principal and again in 2004 with a Masters in the same. Since then I have been teaching at a K-12 school, teaching mostly computer-related subjects but also assisting in the music program, fine arts competitions, and special programs. Additionally, I have served as the music director at my church since 2005, leading singing, directing the choir, accompanying vocal and instrumental numbers, and many...

Hello^^ My name is Justin. I study Music Composition and Piano at Towson University, and I've been teaching for four years. A few things I would like you to know about me are that I love video games, cartoons, and movies. I especially love the music found in them. Teaching, for me, is a way to learn. If something doesn't make sense we must figure out what's going on inside the mind. By discovering the best way for a student to learn or how a student learns best, already, we have a gateway to endless potential.

I have been playing guitar for almost 20 years. I was blessed to have a great instructor who motivated me and provided me with a great foundation to build upon. I would like to be able to pay it forward and do the same for you. I studied music theory and music appreciation at UMBC, and I received certifications in audio production and recording techniques from the Omega Studios School of Recording Arts and Sciences. Along the way, I have learned how to play bass, piano, drums and percussion, mandolin, xylophone, and sing. I have worked with many great musicians over the years, been in several bands, recorded professionally in several different studios, and performed in numerous venues around the DC / Baltimore and Annapolis area. I worked in musical instrument sales for 4 years, so I have a vast knowledge of musical gear, inside and out, and would like to share that knowledge with you. My roommate is also a Take Lessons instructor for drums and percussion, so we are a...
