I've been studying voice since I was about 14 years. I grew up doing Musical Theatre, Jazz, Choir-both church and school. I started to fall in love with opera when I was about 16 years and have not looked back. I grew up in the mid-west in the grand land of Fargo, North Dakota and then started my education in Voice Performance and Theatre in Minnesota. I recieved my masters degree in voice performance and a post masters degree in Opera Studies from The New England Conservatory of Music. During my time in school I have had the chance to perform both in the United States and throughout Europe in many different performance settings including choral, recitals, and operas. I have also been teaching a wide age range of students through out my masters and post masters degree. I have a long resume of performance experiences that I believe will be benefical to my students. I have a love of both performing and teaching and am still actively on stage and auditioning.

I'm a very friendly and easygoing instructor. My philosophy in teaching music is to show the student musical elements that can be put into practice right away, which can be used in a context to have a solid reference of the progress made.

First, some exciting news! I just became a part of takelessons online lesson program, and now I can teach students from anywhere in the country! But I digress...

Let's see, first and foremost I'm a music lover of the highest order. Whether it's jazz, rock, indie, classical, hip-hop or country, if it's good music, I love it.

I grew up obsessively listening to everything i could get my hands on, and began playing guitar at the age of 11. That was cut short, though, when the next year I almost lost my middle finger on my left hand in an ice skating incident. It took 5 years for me to regain the strength and motion, during which time I was forced to give up guitar playing altogether. I never lost my passion for music, though, and in my heart i never stopped dreaming about what it would be like to be a professional musician. When I went away to college, I studied political science, but I also brought an acoustic guitar with me, and soon I was spending every free minute I...

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.

When I was young I travelled around the world a lot! I had amazing opportunities to meet a wide array of very different people while gaining perspective on the world. Since friends were always changing I found a way to soothe myself by writing short songs about what I was going through, not only was it therapeutic - but at a certain point I started getting paid! I've studied Music Therapy now so I believe in taking an approach which is best suited to the students needs.
Currently I am a student at Berklee College of Music, I have one year left! I'm often producing music, cooking a big soup, working on a collaboration or working a gig.

I currently have my Bachelor's degree in World/African-American Music with a concentration in Percussion Performance from the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth. I am also certified to teach Vocal or Instrumental Music in public schools in Massachusetts for grades K-8. I have a focus in playing/teaching all styles on drumset and also have vast performance and teaching experience on several disciplines of percussion. These include but are not limited to: Orchestral Percussion, Jazz/Rock/R & B/Fusion/Hip-Hop/Latin Drumset, 2 and 4 Mallet Vibes/Marimba, Rudimental/Marching Percussion, West-African Drumming, Brazilian Samba, Afro-Cuban/Latin Percussion, and Steel Drums. I also play/teach Piano and Trumpet.

I love to sing, and I love to teach. Private lessons are a great place for both. Whether you're already passionate about music, or just dipping your feet in the water, I can personalize lessons to meet your needs. For me, seeing a student grow as a musician is a reward in itself. But the biggest rewards should be yours: a stronger voice, a deeper understanding of music, a whole body involved in making music, an enjoyable effort, and a growing independence to handle musical and technical difficulties over time.

My background:
I am an experienced tenor vocalist, with over 11 years of private vocal study, a BA in music from Williams College, and further study in vocal pedagogy (how to teach voice) with a Longy professor. I sing currently with the Cantata Singers, the Choir of Men and Boys at All-Saints Ashmont, and Nightsong, and I've just started a new jazz vocal group. I have taught voice on faculty at Camp Encore/Coda, music composition with Classroom Cantatas, a variety...
