Hello, my name is Richard. I love all things music, but my primary areas of focus are Piano and Music Literacy and Theory. My musical journey began when I was 6 years old, shortly after my grandparent's piano came to reside in my parents' home. I began piano lessons during that summer after first grade. By the time I was in junior high, my teacher thought I was ready for a more advanced teacher, and so I began taking lessons from someone who had traveled to Europe to study music. In college, I continued my musical journey, graduating in 2002 with a Bachelors in Church Music with a Piano Principal and again in 2004 with a Masters in the same. Since then I have been teaching at a K-12 school, teaching mostly computer-related subjects but also assisting in the music program, fine arts competitions, and special programs. Additionally, I have served as the music director at my church since 2005, leading singing, directing the choir, accompanying vocal and instrumental numbers, and many...

Playing live is a very special part of playing music, I have also recorded in the studio - it's always great to put your music onto a cd or help a fellow musician out and record when they need someone else to listen.

My background comes from learning from a nationally known professional musician who has been performing for over 30 years on world tours & recorded on 10 different albums. I also have studied in different music workshops in the U.S with world renown pro guitarists.

Rowell holds two Master of Music degrees in Violin Performance and Violin Pedagogy as well as a Bachelor of Music degree in Violin Performance from Shenandoah Conservatory of Music located in Winchester, VA. He enjoys encouraging students in taking their instrument to a new level while still enjoying it. The methods he uses will be different from one student to another, as individuals have different ways of learning. Promoting positive reinforcement helps build confidence. "I believe the key to a growing musician is a strong foundation."

"I enjoy travelling and meeting new people, especially in different places where they are most comfortable in. That's why I offer my services in the homes of my students. Parents and students are glad that they don't have to leave the comforts of their home to fight traffic trying to get to lessons... but I'm dedicated enough to do that for them just to reap the rewards of what the students will learn and take with them!"

Hello^^ My name is Justin. I study Music Composition and Piano at Towson University, and I've been teaching for four years. A few things I would like you to know about me are that I love video games, cartoons, and movies. I especially love the music found in them. Teaching, for me, is a way to learn. If something doesn't make sense we must figure out what's going on inside the mind. By discovering the best way for a student to learn or how a student learns best, already, we have a gateway to endless potential.

Music and teaching music have been my passions for as long as I can remember! Throughout my career as a student, I have explored many musical paths and instruments. All these experiences contributed to making me the well-rounded and intelligent musician I am today.
