Roland R was born and raised in New York City. He started playing drums at the ripe age of 12. Throughout his schooling, Roland was a member of Concert Bands, Jazz Bands, and Drum Corps. He eventually started to explore playing music outside of school with friends and independent musicians around New York City. Roland's teaching "career" started about 7 years ago, when his baby cousins took an interest in banging on pots and pans with wooden spoons. His interest in helping others develop their ability to express themselves eventually evolved into in-studio lessons with children and adults of all skill levels. Roland has volunteered for non-profit organizations and college now programs in the past. Through his experiences, he's grown accustomed to speaking in front of large groups of students. Whether or not it's a large group or just a 1 on 1 session, patience and tolerance is the key when working with a student. He fully understands the difficulty of training one's mind to do...

This varied work background will help me expose my students to different type of music.

Over the 20+ years experience of teaching, I find that each student has a unique musical personality. My goal is to bring it out. I have a Bachelor of Music and a Master of Arts in music therapy. I am passionate about piano teaching and piano music in all genre from Bach to Beatles!

I am a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. I love folk music, bluegrass, country and all forms of Americana! One of the best things about folk music is it's meant to be shared with others. I've been able to study this music with some of the best players on the planet through online lessons. It worked for me and it can work for you!

Originally from Rome, Italy, Elisabetta immersed herself in musical and classical studies since an early age. Traveling with her family, she had the opportunity to experience the most prestigious music productions in Europe and the United States. The choice to be an active part of the music world as a professional was inevitable and only natural.
She attained a Master’s Degree in Piano Performance and Music Teaching, from the Conservatory of Music Refice, Italy.
She developed a long career teaching music, providing music education instruction, encompassing practice of an instrument, history of music, and music theory. She taught classes with approximately twenty-five students, maintaining a sharp, consistent focus on correlating music to academics.

Classes included a History of Western Music, Modal Counterpoint, Harmony, composition and Music education. Mastered four-part writing. Primary focus was Western Classical Music, 1100 AD to the present.

2. Studied piano under concert pianist Anita Gelber. It was an intensive, weekly 90 minute private piano instruction. Focused on the music of Bartok, Mozart, Beethoven, Debussy, Saint-Saens and some ragtime. Finger technique was stressed, which was later carried over into my private piano lessons with children and adult students. Piano studies lasted for a period of twelve years.

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

Ian is originally from a small town in western Connecticut. Basically, he's from the woods. By age 12 he was beginning to tackle his first serious instrument, the highland bagpipes. At 13, he started playing bass. By age 16, he knew he wanted to do this as a career.

Ian attended Berklee College Of Music, graduating in 2009 cum laude, having studied with John Lockwood, Oscar Stagnaro, Esperanza Spalding, and many other fine musicians. In 2010, he passed both the video and the in-person invite-only auditions for Cirque du Soleil. A couple of cruise ship contracts later, Ian wrote, recorded and produced his debut album (featuring Melissa Aldana, Juan Andres Ospina, and Devin Collins), and early 2012 saw him moving to New York City. He is now making a living slugging it out playing gigs and teaching. Plenty of new, amazing creative projects are in the works as Ian aims to take his career forward.

As a younger brother at the age of five, I began studying the piano because my older sister did. After my foundation in music strengthened I fell in love with the trumpet. At first, each note took time to develop and I enjoyed the challenge. The trumpet allowed me to travel all over the Southeast later in life and even to China with a 1940's Radio Show. I enjoyed many top-level bands the kindled my love and passion for good music. I want to share that kindling with my students in a nurturing and guiding situation, just like my teachers gave me.
I used to go to lessons and become so motivated and inspired that I thought I could change the world. I always knew that I would want to give back exactly that. As my performance opportunities grew into venues like Churchill Grounds, The Eyedrum, The Rialto, and The Variety Playhouse in Atlanta and Radio City Music Hall and Flushing Town Hall in New York, my fire for wanting to develop my teaching did also. I was...
