From the first time I struck a key on a piano, I knew this is what I wanted to do with my life. The emotions you get from happiness, to fulfillment, to a gained self-esteem; that is the gift of music that I give to my students.

Throughout high school, I was in orchestra, marching band, and choir, which I feel has helped broaden my musicality at a young age. I have been classically trained in piano for over 10 years, but also have a background in rock/pop/alternative styles. I have trained in voice for 4 years and primarily am familiar with pop/rock styles.

In my spare time, I plan musical benefit shows supporting charities such as "VH1 Save the Music Foundation" & "To Write Love on Her Arms." These two charities in particular helped me not only give back to the music world, but to helping others who have it hard. Besides an education, I also feel it's important for a teacher to be pure hearted.

Thank you for visiting. First, it doesnt matter whether you are 4 or 104, you can learn to play the piano, and I would love to teach you. I teach all age and experience levels, from beginner to the very advanced. You wont out grow me :-). I have 20+ years of teaching experience and 30+ years of performing experience. I have performed at such venues as Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, various cities throughout Europe, and on the Fox TV show 30 seconds to Fame. I like having fun with music and so can you. Whether you want to learn strictly Classical music, or whether you want to learn more modern types of music (rock, jazz, pop,etc), I can teach you. Every lesson is tailored to the individual. If 30 students described me, Id like to think that they would describe 30 different teachers because I never teach 2 students exactly the same. Every student is an individual and needs individual care and attention. Schedule a lesson with me today and lets accomplish your musical...

I have been happily playing music for nearly 15 years, and now I have the opportunity to share my enthusiasm with you! I recently graduated from the University of Delaware with a Bachelor of Music in music education. My two main instruments are trombone and guitar, although I have also taught bass guitar and other brass instruments privately.

My musical journey started with guitar lessons at age 8. I have played many genres of guitar throughout the years, including pop, rock, jazz, and classical music. I've played with bands as well as solo material, so no matter what you want to learn, I will be able to shed some light on your path to being the kind of guitar player you want to be.

I have been playing brass instruments for a little over ten years. I've played trombone in quite a variety of ensembles, including brass choirs, trombone choirs, wind ensembles, jazz bands, and brass quintets. I've spent four summers touring with a World Class Drum and Bugle Corps playing...

Hello, my name is Jonathan, and I teach piano privately. As a William Paterson University graduate in Music Studies, I feel that music is an essential part of our lives, and learning how to play an instrument can help people of all ages (particularly children) share and express their talent. I have been teaching piano for one year, and it has been a wonderful experience. Not only do the students learn how to play piano, but it helps me get to know the students more closely.

I started learning piano at the age of seven. As I got older, I learned how to accompany. While at William Paterson, I took two semesters of Piano Pedagogy, and as a requirement, I needed to have a student to teach and play for the class. That's how I became interested in teaching piano, and we've had wonderful lessons together. After I graduated with my BA in Music Studies, I went around putting up flyers trying to get more students, and I've had a few who came and went, or who just took a break due to...

I am Kathleen M., a native Canadian, and an increasingly busy artist. Currently residing in Lodi, NJ, I have performed on stages across the United States and Europe with some of the leading opera companies. In the fall of 2012 I returned to NYC to teach adjunct at NYU and to complete an Advanced Certificate in Vocal Pedagogy at this institution. I will also be finishing my DMA in vocal performance from the University of Illinois by completing the final steps of the prelims and dissertation.

Born and raised in northern New Jersey, I have played the piano since age 8 and performed since age 12. My grandmother first inspired me to learn, as she would play for family gatherings - I envied her ability to captivate a room with such beautiful music. Throughout High school, I began developing my voice as a pianist and composer. I participated in the Terra Magica music festival in Croatia, working with several internationally renowned teachers, who influenced me to pursue a career in music. I studied piano with Aaron Wunsch at William Paterson University (a graduate and current teacher at the Juilliard School), composition with John Link (a graduate of the City University of New York), and music analysis and ear training with Jeffrey Kresky (graduate of Colombia and Princeton music schools). During my undergrad, I participated in the Juilliard music program in Gijon, Spain where I performed and worked with some of the most renowned piano teachers in the world. I also...

I have been teaching piano for almost 40 years. I have a NY state music teachers license, a masters in music therapy from NYU, and a bachelors in Music Education and AFFA certification.
I try to keep the student self-motivated by using music that the student likes, as well as covering the basics. I use props which can be internalized by the student and gradually removed. For example, using stick-on letter names for the notes for a beginner and then removing them one at a time when the student feels ready.
I am friendly and very easy going; I'm not a disciplinarian. If a student doesn't practice for some reason, we practice together at the next lesson. If a student doesn't want to practice at all, I can be very creative in motivating them. I don't believe in parents forcing their children to practice, because this tends to turn the child off. Even though I tell parents that if your child doesn't want to play, please don't force it; I tend to keep students for many years (maybe...

I am a professional guitarist with a background in jazz and classical music. I was born and raised in Springfield, IL where I studied piano, violin, and guitar from a young age. In high school and college I played in several rock and folk bands in addition to my classical and jazz studies.

After earning my Bachelor of Music in Classical Guitar Studies in 2005, my wife and I moved to New York City. Since then, I have taught and performed regularly and earned my Master of Music in Jazz Performance. I have taught a wide array of students ranging in age from 5 years old to 70 years old.

I have a great passion for music and music education and love sharing it. I have had parents tell me that their children have become more social at school and showed drastic improvement in their grades as a result of our lessons. It is further evidence that music has the power to enrich lives and make us better people.

Therefore, whether you are an adult who has always wanted to learn...

I am a classical singer and pianist from Wisconsin! I started playing music at the age of three on the piano and starting taking voice lessons when I was 15. When I was in graduate school in Las Vegas I started teaching both voice and piano lessons and found how much I loved imparting my knowledge to others and watching them make progress.

I have performed leading roles in Operas and soloed in orchestral concerts. I mainly perform opera and classical but love musical theatre as well. My performing experience has taught me a lot which I am eager to pass on to my students! I moved to New York City three months ago but I had a studio of around 35 students in Las Vegas both voice and piano.

Percussionist and composer Marc W. was born in Switzerland, where he studied classical percussion at the Geneva Conservatory. He has lived in the United States since the 1980s, where he studied composition and mallet technique on the vibraphone at the Berklee School in Boston, then moved to New York City to further his jazz performance and percussion skills. Since that time, Marc has toured the U.S., Europe, Japan and Brazil, and can be heard on over 20 recordings, including 4 solo albums.
Marc’s interest in electronics led him to push the boundaries of live performance with the “electronic vibraphone”, where he is recognized as a pioneer on this instrument.
Beside a performer and a composer, Marc teaches workshops here and in Europe, and is very involved in making computers accessible to visually impaired musicians. Marc is currently working on an iBook, titled “Drum Talk - An Introduction to Percussion Ensemble”, which demonstrates the techniques he developed during...
