My Education:

-I studied piano for 11 years and voice for 5 with local teachers before going on to college. In college I received my music degree with a focus in vocal performance, and received an award for my work. I also participated and provided useful input to the fledgling B.F.A program at Randolph-Macon Woman's College and worked...

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

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've been a full time professional musician for 13+ years and have toured all over the world performing with music icons like Chacka Khan, Beyonce, and many more. I have a lot of experience with many different styles of music and I love sharing this gift with anyone who's interested. My teaching philosophy is simple: Get students playing music! It's much easier to understand the nuts and bolts of music when put into the context of the music you like.

While at the New England Conservatory, Vivek studied with both classical and jazz instructors, including former principal trumpet of the BSO, Charlie Schlueter, legendary jazz saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi, and master drummer Bob "Rakalam" Moses. This education prepared Vivek for several professional engagements, including recording and performing with 10-time GRAMMY winner Paquito D'Rivera, the DAX Bullfighting Festival (France), the International New Year's Festival (Taiwan), backing American Idol finalist John Stevens with the Beantown Swing Orchestra, performing at the International Trademark Convention, performing at the Caribbean Jazz Festival, entertaining the heads of Kodak Corporation, and many more.

Currently, Vivek is developing a curriculum demonstrating how to create quality recordings with free software and inexpensive recording equipment (e.g. Garageband, usb mics).

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.

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!

Hi- my name is Dylan. I've been passionate about music and teaching my whole life. I even tried teaching my little sister violin when she was 7 and I was 9. But in actual lessons I have taught piano, organ, music theory, improvisation (and even harpsichord!) to private students. I am comfortable teaching a wide variety of musical styles and a wide range of experience in students, but have been most useful to motivated students interested in classical music and improvisation.

As a musician: I'm classically trained, with a Bachelor's degree in keyboard performance from McGill University and am currently studying for my Master's in the same thing at Boston University. I have won the Concours de Musique de Canada chamber music competition 2009 with Ensemble la Félicité, and have a special love for improvisation and classical music.

From Bowling Green, OH to Peru, South America to Boston, MA I have always found the joy and fun in making music. I'm a highly trained violinist who graduated from the Boston Conservatory in December, and since then I've been actively working as a gigging musician in Boston's live music scene.

Music is my way of sharing joy and fun with the people in my community, and I feel that it's the best lifestyle I could possibly have. My students help make that community even better and stronger. Music not only gives them a healthy group to belong to but a creative space to be themselves.

I've set up a student orchestra in Tacna, Peru, played in jazz bands and combos, made music for tango dancers, and performed in countless orchestras and small ensembles. I have taught to all age groups and, after graduating with my master's degree in music performance and education, I feel that I'm ready for any teaching situation!

Hello! My name is Bill and I have been immersed in music my entire life and have had the opportunity to remain a full time performer/teacher for the last 15 years. I have performed and recorded with various artists throughout the entire U.S. and Canada and continue to keep an active schedule both as a performer and as a private instructor.
As an instructor, I look at each student as an individual, with a unique set of goals, and design a lesson plan that is both fun and informative in achieving these goals. Most importantly, I want to have my students playing music! Regardless of their style or musical tastes, I seek to provide each student with a path that will allow them to participate in the music that they love.
