Hello,

Thanks so much for taking the time to inquire about studying music with me.

Music and studying music has always been a passionate experience for me. I have been so blessed with the teachers and fellow musicians in my life. You should realize that your study of music may start with me, but it will last your entire lifetime. I hope that all of your life you will have a rewarding relationship to music and the spirit of great sounds!

I'm originally from California. I have performances degrees from the Grove School, as well as San Diego State University.
I currently reside in New York City where I get the chance to play with some many great musicians. I have performed in great jazz clubs in New York, on Broadway, and performing arts centers across the country. I'm currently playing in many great performing ensembles. I have put out two CD's as a leader and played on multiple CD's for other artists.

It has been my pleasure to teach privately, as well as in the...

I have been playing professionally for over 30 years and have taught for over 10. I am proficient on keyboards, guitar, bass, ukelele, as well as lead and harmony vocals and songwriting. My focus is on developing your musical intuition through ear training, and accessing the music within. I have a home recording studio to help with the learning process. I provide a fun, safe, non-critical environment where you can access your inner musician in the most enjoyable way possible.

Many of my students have gone onto become prolific songwriters and musicians and have recorded albums. Even beginners can learn quickly from my method which emphasizes techniques for keeping learning music fun.

My 10th CD was released last year on Sojourn Records and was featured as NPR song of the day. Over the years my music has received much critical acclaim as I have continued to tour the world. I have opened for legends such as David Bowie, Ron Sexsmith, Robyn Hitchcock, Morphine, Bob Mould,...

About Jessica:

Jessica is known worldwide as a writer and musician who uses her own comedy, illustration, videos and crafts in her performances. She tours the US and the UK regularly and has performed in many festivals including the Reading & Leeds Festival, Latitude Festival, Montreal Comedy Festival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Dublin Comedy Festival, NY International Children’s Film Festival and more.

Jessica’s comedy and ideas are inspired by being the oldest of 6 girls and growing up in a small town in Maine, where she taught Sunday school and counseled teens and tweens in a local after school program for four years. When Jessica was 19, she moved to Philadelphia to study animation after winning a scholarship to the Art Institute of Philadelphia, and relocated to NYC shortly after graduating.

Her polarizing music, performances, art and internet videos have won many awards, garnered much praise, and have also been publicly denounced by the US Catholic League....

Tom graduated from Tufts University in Boston with a B.A. in Music. During this time he studied and performed recitals in both classical and jazz guitar styles, composed original guitar music, and participated in jazz and classical music performance ensembles. After Tufts he continued his training in music education with courses at the Hartt School of Music and Central Connecticut State University.

With all of his students, regardless of age or ability, the emphasis is placed on technique, since it is the foundation for tackling increasingly challenging pieces of music. He teaches warmup exercises that build strength, coordination and speed. All of his students have at least a fundamental understanding of music theory, including note names and durations, counting methods, intervals, basic chord theory, and rhythm reading. This makes their practice more meaningful and gives them a language to use when playing with other musicians. Additionally, he incorporates the latest music...

As a touring musician & composer for the movie industry, I have performed and recorded on 4 continents, from Radio City Music Hall in New York - where I am based - to Le Louvres in Paris - my hometown. Besides a broad music knowledge, I specialize in music from all around the world playing on the guitar, electric or acoustic, dubbed "Global Guitar".

Hey People!

In addition to 20 years of guitar playing, as well as a bunch of other instruments, I'm also a national Telly and Addy award-winning composer and performer. It's strange to say, but my music is heard by millions of people every day. I compose, perform, and produce music for TV commercials, shows, theatre, dance, and weird short films. As far as my education goes, I've studied guitar with a number of teachers, and studied composition and music theory with Stuart Saunders Smith, Linda Dussman, William Horne, and piano virtuoso, Martin J. Cannelli. After graduating from Loyola University of New Orleans with a degree in English Literature and Music Composition, I was hired as an English professor at Assumption University in Bangkok, Thailand. When I returned to the States, I was hired at an ad agency in Baltimore (where I was born and raised), doing all elements of TV commercial production, from script writing to coffee making to (drumroll please) Music. That's...

My name is Andrew, and I have been teaching guitar lessons for six years. I am currently 28 years old. Over the years I have developed a very effective way of creating a fun and encouraging learning environment for my students. I have a great sensibility of popular music, and can help students with many different styles, from Rock, Metal, or Pop music, to Jazz and Classical studies. I have a lot of patience, which makes me a great choice for any young or beginning student.
I am also a professional Jazz guitarist, performing all over Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Long Island. I was trained at Five Towns College where I received my B.A. in Jazz and Commercial Music.
My musical training has enabled me to teach all levels of guitar, from beginner to advanced, in almost any style.

Hi, my name is Patrick! I've studied piano since age 10 (classical, and more recently jazz) and even at that age I would write my own songs and compositions. I started studying music theory in high school 7 years ago. This has informed my study of composition, as well as every instrumental practice undertaken since that time. 6 years ago I took my banjo to Sarah Lawrence College and started learning to play. I quickly joined the school's Bluegrass Ensemble, which fast-tracked my practice and enhanced my understanding of the idiom. My compositions, arrangements, and performances have appeared in theatre productions (Hartford Stage, Manhattan Theatre Source), several films and dance pieces, and at music venues in New York (Carnegie Hall, The Bitter End, Goodbye Blue Monday). For the past 3 years I've been working with children at the Sarah Lawrence Early Childhood Center, and most recently at Timbalooloo in Manhattan.

In non-professional pursuits, I also walked 800 miles...

I am a musician based out of Brooklyn NY, dedicated to the art of songwriting, playing live shows, recording, producing and teaching students around the city. I graduated in 2007 from Berklee College of Music with a degree in Contemporary Writing and Production. Since my arrival to NYC I have been increasing my number of students and developing my teaching techniques which are also tailored and adapted to every student so my clients can obtain the best and outstanding results and at the same time have tons of good times while reaching our set goals.

For me, teaching has been an incredible experience which I happened to stumble upon at the beginning of my music career. I never thought about teaching as a way of living but like most things in life, the best plans are the ones that occur without much planning, and this way of living has helped my growth as a professional musician and as a band leader. Through my students I am reminded all the time to rely on a simple tool,...

Hello there , I'm a New York native and an NYU graduate with a degree in Music. I've played in venues ranging from Lincoln Center to the Espoo Jazz Festival in Finland, sharing the stage with Ray Charles and the Yellowjackets.

As a producer and writer, I've recorded major artists including a very young Lady Gaga. I've also composed and recorded music for TV shows including "America's Most Wanted" and the animated series "Kenny the Shark" on NBC.

As an instructor, I've taught for the past 15 years in the Greater New York area and always pride myself on being able to expose students to many different styles ranging from jazz to rock, in order to create well rounded and complete musicians.

Teaching music is my passion, it is more than just a career. I value each student and the time I have with them; to help them explore the world of music. Hopefully after each lesson, my students walk away with a deeper understanding of music theory and have enjoyed their time. I am available to teach Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Bass, Upright Bass, Banjo, Ukulele, Mandolin, and Beginner Drums.
