I'm a professional musician currently living in Brooklyn. I graduated from NYU in 2005 with a degree in theory and composition (after completing 2 years as a jazz performance major). I played in the rock bands Arpline and The Kiss Off and recorded for Universal Records. I currently record and perform under the monikers Aeolian, Sandglass and Marlowe Dies. I've been teaching both piano and music theory lessons since 2006 and have had great success with my students, a few of which I even forged mentor relationships with. With my vast knowledge of esoteric and popular music genres (I'm comfortable with folk, death metal, modern jazz, indie rock, hip-hop... well, you get the point. I'm a music obsessive) I believe becoming a total musician should be a goal for any student but I enjoy the challenge that each individual brings to the table

"Music can change your life in an instant, it changed mine. It has never let me down, I believe in music". - Rafael R.

This has been the message, and with the power that it brings he picked up a guitar at the young age of 15 as a young aspiring Puerto Rican born artist. Primarily self-taught and learning music by ear, it was a matter of time before formal education came into effect five years later at the Inter-American University. His enrollment was immediately followed by a summer acceptance to Berklee's Summer Performance Program, where a scholarship was awarded for full-time education; thus a firm decision had to be made.

Rafael stayed in the Island and completed a BA Degree in Popular Music as it allowed the continuation of studying with the local greats: Ricardo Pons, Fernando Mattina, Ángel David Mattos, Aldemar Valentín, Francisco Serrano, Ismael Rodriguez Andrew Lazaro, Pedro Rivera Toledo, Hector Matos, L. Raúl Romero and Miguel Cubano. Under this...

Hello Students and Parents!

I am Andrew B. I have taught professionally, from ages 5 to 75, for almost 10 years. I have been playing music since I was very young. I was that infant sitting at the piano trying to play what ever melodies came into my head. I caught the bug for guitar at the age of 13 and my life has been about music ever since.

While I consider jazz to be my home base, I am deeply rooted in the blues. I try to feel the essence of the blues in every style I approach. That is to say, I look to find the deeper understanding of that style or piece of music.

Over the years I have studied and taught many styles of music on guitar and bass, including: jazz, blues, pop, rock, metal, funk, hip hop, reggae, country, gospel, and classical. I also teach songwriting, theory, voice, and double bass.

Just this last year I have had the opportunity to share the stage with several great musicians. Some of these include: Dana Murray (Wynton Marsalis, Jimmy Witherspoon,...

Music has always been a big part of my life and I really enjoy giving the gift of music to other people. I began teaching guitar lessons during high school after a family friend asked me if I could show him a few things. From there I developed my technique as a teacher and my roster of students grew through word of mouth before I went off to college.

EDUCATION

I attended New York University in the fall of 2004, majoring in Music Composition at the Steinhardt School of Education. I studied privately with Dr. Joseph Church, who was the Music Director for the Lion King on Broadway, as well as The Who's Tommy. He was a true mentor and helped me hone my skills as a songwriter, lyricist and vocalist.

During my time at NYU I spent a year teaching group guitar lessons at the Edgies Teen Center in Lower Manhattan. In this low-income neighborhood it was really important to give my students an outlet to express themselves in a positive way by learning the importance of music....

I'm lead vocalist, lead guitarist & songwriter in a widely know touring rock n roll band. I hold a Bachelors of Music in jazz guitar from New York University, and have produced toured and recorded with internationally known artists/celebrities & legendary producers. I have had my songs licensed for National TV (E!, MTV, VH1, Oxygen, TBS and more) and in Video games. Over the course of the past two years, I have built a solid client base in my home teaching studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn working with guitarists/bassists, Vocalists & composers of all ages and skill levels in styles including: Rock, Metal, Pop, Punk, Blues, Jazz, Funk, R&B, Classical. I am excited to announce that I will now be able to teach online lessons.

I began studying guitar at age seven, at the Third Street Music School in Manhattan, New York. A spark of compositional interest, led to many hours of writing and practicing; studying with some of the world's top musicians. A professional Berklee 2 year certificate and additional courses from the Berklee College of Music have refined my compositional, technical and recording processes. I live in Brooklyn, NY and teach privately as well as compose for film and commercial work.

Greetings future stars-

My name is Joshua. I've been singing professionally since I was 11 years old. For the last seventeen years I've performed all over the world. Most recently I performed the role of Fiyero in WICKED on Broadway, but my experiences range far and wide. Aside from performing in Wicked and Grease on Broadway, I've sang in rock bands, arenas, concert halls- all different styles and genres.

Armed with a BFA in Musical Theatre from The University of Michigan, I've got real world experience and technical understanding to help those starting out, or those looking to fine tune their instruments. I've worked with beginners as well as professionals, and I look forward to helping you make the most of your voice.

Hello Music Lovers!

My name is Lauren, and I'm a piano and voice teacher based in Brooklyn. I love music more than anything (even animals, iced coffee, shopping, and being outside on nice days!)

My musical journey started early: I was 4 when I begged my parents for a piano after 'playing' one at a distant relatives home. I haven't looked back since, and my entire life has been centered around listening to, creating, loving, and teaching music. I love all kinds of music: I grew up with old rock and classical, but quickly found that I loved jazz, r&b, musical theatre soundtracks, everything!

I have a large place in my heart for music theory, ear training, and composition, so if you have trouble with these topics or would like to get better at them, I am a good resource for that. It is my goal as a music teacher to give my students a strong, practical foundation that will translate to whatever they want to do in their musical career, non-specific of genre or instrument....
