I began my music life when I was 10 with the Euphonium. And things kind of shot like a rocket from there. Between middle school and high school I grabbed at the opportunities to play in the school jazz bands, big bands, marching band, pep band, trombone ensemble, brass ensemble, orchestra, and performed a solo with the concert band. During my college years I lead my trombone charge in concert band, wind ensemble, orchestra, brass ensemble, musicals, operas, community bands, the New Jersey Intercollegiate Honors Band, masterclasses, solos, etc. Aside from my playing career, I had an active teaching career as well. My peers and I exchanged lessons on our major instruments, and I had a studio of students in the area, some of whom have gone on to be college musicians themselves! I also got great experience teaching theory, band, and lessons in elementary, middle, and high schools.

These days I've taken to playing musicals, orchestras, and studying my crafts while looking...

Hello, my name is Brenda and I recently received my B.M. in Music Education from William Paterson University located in Wayne, NJ. I was a voice major and flute/piano double minor. Although I do work with students of all ages, I specialize in working with younger children. I teach flute, clarinet, voice, and piano and have experience teaching in both individual and group settings. I am currently studying different teaching methods so I can develop a custom program that best fits your learning styles and incorporates what you already know, with what you will need to learn in order to achieve your goals.

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 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...

Student who takes lessons with me has a chance to expand his knowledge by learn necessary technique and elements of music which I have studied in college. I am glad and willing to share my knowledge of music as well as research different genres and styles of music.

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've made my career as a performing musician and teacher for many years. I've enjoyed touring the Northeast U.S. and also the U.K. What fun it's been meeting different people and experiencing their love of music! My band specializes in rock, blues, and originals, too. There's even a little jazz influence, coming from my years of private study, most recently with Ms. Leni Stern, an extraordinary professor of music at NYU. I love to keep an open mind with my students regarding playing styles and approaches to learning, and I'll encourage you to do the same! Individuality is your number one asset, I want to help you become the best you can be.

I started taking piano lessons when I was 4 and then learned the clarinet and played in the band in middle school. In high school I started playing the viola in the orchestra while still playing in the band. I had the best of all music worlds! In college I played in many school and community orchestras in places like Carnegie Recital Hall and even with the NY Philharmonic Orchestra! Orchestral and Chamber Music are my forte. I have been a string orchestra conductor for 10 years and love to put on a show to be remembered. My students have played at various day cares, nursing homes and shopping malls. We were even on the local Channel 12 News!

Certified business and marketing teacher studied dance and music at Harlem school of the arts in new York city I have been teaching music for 10 years working with the NYC African American parade , I feel music will lead a child to many opportunities and teach my students to explore different types of music and instruments.

I began my musical journey at the tender age of four and see no end in sight! Though I may only be 20, I already have years of performing and professional experience under my belt. I have performed on drums for all kinds of groups and acts, from small jazz combos, to singer/songwriters, to heavy metal bands. I have played and gigged on percussion in classical ensembles, concert bands, percussion ensembles, and for musical theater productions. I have also performed extensively with groups on both guitar and keyboards. I have been lucky enough to share the stage with many great musicians including Tom Chapin and the Chapin Sisters, Erik Lawrence (Levon Helm Band), Larry Mckenna, and Peter Brendler.

As a drummer, and a musician in general, I draw inspiration from a wide variety of genres. I appreciate the Jazz greats as much as I appreciate the great drummers of rock or metal or hip hop, etc. I have found that learning these various perspectives of drumming has improved all...
