About Jason M.
Close
As a theorist, piano came natural from a guitar playing background after taking the interval structure of a common chord and incorporating both the left and right hand to explore the same techniques. I do best with requests and start from whatever level my student is coming from. I do everything from Beginning songs to Classical, Rock and modern Pop or Country.

ting as hosted a recording clinic at the end of each day.

Jason has been transcribing for guitar and bass since the age of 18 and since then has become a master of the craft including both 5 line staff and tablature, hand-crafted exercises and deconstructions to better enhance the students learning.

About William P.
Close
If you want to learn how to begin playing the piano, I am you man. I focus on scales, selections, and cadences to help you learn the beginnings of piano playing. I can take you through simple four part melodies with pedals, playing from a lead sheet, and even a bit of transposition. A small amount of music theory will be involved in your lessons.
About William
Hello everyone. My journey into teaching has opened up so many doors for me and has made me a better instructor. I have been participating in music programs from the age of 3. Music is my passion. I have learned many instruments along the way, and I have pressed through to achieve not only my academic aspirations, but my personal goals as well. I tailor my lessons to my students, pin pointing what we need to work on, and reinforcing what is already going well. I can come to you in person, or via internet. My goal is to help you reach your goals musically, and to encourage you in your journey to becoming a musician.

About Cynthia C.
Close
My teaching style is theory based. Because of this, you can start playing songs after your first week of lessons! I have developed a lesson structure that teaches you the theory of music while developing your own creativity. This allows you to pick up any piece of music and play it because you can read it! You will also be able to compose your own music if it's a goal of yours! Music theory is exactly that, THEORY! Therefore it is my goal as your instructor to help you explore this theory in order to reach your own musical goals.
About Cynthia
Hello! My name is Cynthia and I have been teaching for about 6 years. I received my Bachelors Degree as well as my Masters Degree from Berklee College of Music. My teaching style is considered unconventional because it focuses more on your specific creativity and goals. I do have a structure that I have developed and this structure has allowed my students to gain complete understanding of music theory, their specific instrument, and their specific goals. My goal is to create well rounded musicians and vocalists meaning you can recite songs as well as compose your own. Whatever your goals are, we can achieve them because our lessons will always be catered to specifically you!

About Chris H.
Close
My lessons are unique, interactive, and technique driven. I focus on the fundamentals of classical piano, including sight reading, music theory and composition. From age 5, i have been playing piano, and using the techniques that my piano teacher taught me, I wrote my first composition when I was 14. I am happy to share what I have learned in the last 20 years with the world.
About Chris
My name is Chris. I am 35 years old. I have been playing piano since the age of 5. This is when I began taking piano lessons. At age 5 I was playing very simple tunes like mary had a little lamb , and twinkle twinkle little star. As my ability progressed the next few years, my piano teacher, Tina put the sheet music to Fur Elise by Beethoven in front of me. I was only 9 years old. I thought to myself, what an order, there is no way I can play this. I'm only 9. With her instruction, and patience, little did I know that song was the first building block to advancing my level of talent and ability, and was increasing my technique and sight reading skills. I practiced 4 hours a day from that moment forward, and in 2014 I placed 3rd nation wide in a music competition hosted by world renowned song writer Jim Brickman, and had the honor of pl
aying live on stage with him during one of his concerts at Symphony Hall in Springfield Massachusetts. Due to the technique that I was taught, my teachings mirror exactly how I was shown how to play. The ability to read music is the first step in developing your technique, and finger stretching ability, and through my instruction you too can elevate your ability. Practice makes perfect, and perfect starts with me.
I hope to share what I have learned over the years with you.
