About Andrea Z.
Close
Songwritting is one of my favorite things. I am glad to help with the various aspects of this challenge:
*Poetry and wording
*Writting for the/your voice
*Harmony/Texture
*Arrangement
*Notation (producing a printable sheet of your song)
I specialize in opera, but have helped singers from every walk of the art. Singer-songwriter students have been greatly supported by my composition background. We typically start by those difficulties that most concern you. Students of all ages and experience levels are welcome.

Outstanding instructor of guitar. He goes above and beyond when it comes to teaching students how to play the guitar. He is very flexible, understanding, knowledgeable, and patient when he delivers his classes. Not only does he teach students how to play the guitar, he also does other things like teaching them how to tune their guitars, how to change keys when necessary to make a song sound better, and how to use a capo when playing the guitar. All of these are above and beyond what most teachers have taught me in the past. I really enjoy taking classes from my instructor.

About Tony D.

I've been writing songs for 14 years, it's an incredibly rewarding and therapeutic process. I'll help explore all the available tools so that you can write songs that have the effect you want them to have.
About Tony
I studied Voice Performance at the University of Denver, earning my Bachelors of Music in 2011. I've been teaching voice, piano, composition, song writing, and music theory for 8 years to students of all ages. Teaching is one of my greatest joys as a professional musician, and I hope to share that joy with you!
I focus on three principles in every lesson I teach: be aware, be creative, and be efficient. As awareness increases, seemingly contradictory ideas become complimentary; as creativity develops, we laugh and smile on the journey towards musical fluency; when we think and practice efficiently, we realize we're capable of far more than we thought.

First off, my kids LOVE Tony. They are excited for their lessons every week and really enjoy their time with him. They really enjoy playing piano and have made really great progress with Tony as their teacher. Tony is great at teaching them the fundamentals while also working with their specific interests to help motivate them and keep things really fun (my son wanted to learn an Imagine Dragons song and Tony didn't miss a beat!) He's fun, passionate, great at working with different personalities and ages, and overall a fantastic teacher. Highly highly recommend!

My band is called: Cherry Veil. Look it up. I write the songs. Being a singer songwriter starts in the heart. It takes a lot of guts to keep this going. If you want to learn about song writing you've come to the right place. I come from a song writer family, studied it in college and am still writing songs today. It's in my blood and if it's in yours, come learn techniques to improve your skills. Learn how to keep encouraging yourself to keep writing. Learn how to perform them better so that others will ask to perform the for you!

About Michael
Hi, I'm Michael Chodosh. I have been a professional guitar player my entire life. I love playing, writing, performing and I love teaching music. It's fun for us both. I use systems to bring the best out of my students. I think everyone is happier when they reach their own potential while staying in their heart. My job is to help you do that on guitar! With your playing, whether that's just some strumming and reading or if you want to play standards like a pro or even shred like a monster. I can help guide you there and inspire you to reach those goals that you presently might not even realize you can achieve!
Thank you for looking into lessons with me. You've either started or you're about to improve a wonderful relationship with music! - Michael.

Micheal has helped open up new frontiers in playing and theory for me without ever making me feel like a dummy for not knowing things. One of the best things about him is that his teaching style makes students feel comfortable, but also challenged.
Michael has the experience, patience, and knowledge to help everybody from beginners to working professionals learn and improve. Heck, he even taught me to sing my first legitimate vocal harmony.
Time with Michael Chodosh is time well spent!

About Christopher F.

Songwriting lessons vary widely based on the student's knowledge, but I have taken 16 year olds who have never played a note on piano to writing and playing their own song with lyrics in 3 months. I also teach an annual summer course on songwriting for some of the country's best young writers at a camp at the University of Iowa (a Unesco City of Literature). You can look up my music online/Spotify (Christopher the Conquered) for an example of my songwriting style.
I have a recording rig that I can use to record students who are ready to share what they've learned, whether it be with friends/family (a great gift) or with the world by uploading the songs online.
About Christopher
I am a pianist and singer-songwriter. I recently moved to Denver, Colorado from Des Moines, Iowa. I make a living full-time as a musician, and give piano, vocal, and songwriting lessons in my free time.
I have worked in an official capacity for the non-profit ArtForce Iowa, teaching piano, voice, and songwriting to court-appointed youth. I have also taught piano to adults, and lead an annual songwriting course at the University of Iowa's Young Writer's Workshop.
My main musical project is called Christopher the Conquered. You can look it up online to hear samples of my work and to watch videos of my live performances. My music has appeared in films and commercials as well.
