About Peter
I began piano lessons at four years of age, and was blessed to have an amazing piano teacher, who taught me for 14 years. She gave me a passion to teach others and impart to them a love for music. I have carried on that calling and taught hundreds of adults and children over the last 30 years. I am very thorough in my method and customize each lesson around the goals and dreams of each student. I incorporate theory, ear training and technical into all my lessons, regardless of the style of music they are learning. This gives my students an all-round musical education and appreciation for this wonderful gift they have in their hands.
I have experience in the professional music world as a pianist and french horn player, performing with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Australian Opera Chorus and Orchestra, Sydney Sinfonia, Sydney Philharmo

nic Orchestra and Choir, as well as productions of "Cats", "Phantom of the Opera", Sesame Street, and touring all over Australia, U.S.A. and Israel. I have also been a part of the worship teams at Hillsong Church and C3 Church Australia.
I studied at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, and also received my Licentiate Diploma from the Trinity College of London (L.T.C.L.) in French Horn (Teaching) and Licentiate Diploma from the Trinity College of London (L.T.C.L.) in Piano (Performance). So my experience not only comes from an inspiring teacher, but also from hundreds of performances on stages across the world working with the finest of musicians, singers, conductors and worship leaders.
I love music, and more so, love imparting it to others.

Whether it is to play 'Phantom of the Opera' or an Adele song, Debussy's Claire De Lune or Jingle Bells, I show them how to do it and help them get there. I am very thorough, taking no short cuts, but making it fun to learn an instrument. You will be amazed at what you are playing in three to six months!

I am energetic, experienced and creative music teacher with a proven ability to get the very best out of pupils, an expert at identifying the appropriate resources required for a subject matter and ensuring that they are used efficiently and effectively Most of my students read and play simple music after 2-3 classes of active instruction.
I posses an extensive classical music and music pedagogy training. All my musical knowledge and expertise was attained in Eastern Europe. I play and teach piano, upright bass, bass guitar and a range of other instruments. Over the years I taught basic piano, the beginner violin, viola, cello and a variety of school instruments such as recorder and xylophone. I also teach advanced music theory, harmony and basics of composition and orchestral arranging required for music colleges. I especially

Over the years I taught basic piano, the beginner violin, viola, cello and a variety of school instruments such as recorder and xylophone. I also teach advanced music theory, harmony and basics of composition and orchestral arranging required for music colleges. I especially
find it rewarding working with beginners and the opportunity to show them the amazing world of listening, playing and making music.
The teaching begins with identifying student's musical needs, goals and tastes. Students are taught a stimulating, thorough, and graduated course of recital solos, theory, technical studies, and classic repertoire. For those wishing to pursue more of a classical approach to music, there are proven methods to accomplish that goal established by European master teachers and pedagogues. Also, I can teach the know-how of Jazz and Blues though gradual lessons that cover basic theory, scales and chords up to melody and harmony development.
*** Lesson Details ***

Curriculum and lesson plans are based on student's abilities and aspirations with appropriate balance between theoretical and practical work. The lesson material is always carefully chosen, and when necessary, adapted to specific learning needs.
With a proper approach, everyone can learn to play music. Whether you want to pursue a music career, or just play for fun and enjoyment I can help you attain your goals. From basic piano and stringed instruments, to advanced theory, harmony, composition and improvisation to jazz, pop and rock.
Classes are not based on a single source or book. I provide other exercises in printed form for students to keep and take home.

About Dongbin S.
Close
I have been teaching children of all age groups to acquire a solid foundation in violin playing. Whether it be pre-K beginners, or high school students getting ready for college auditions, I will communicate with the students and parents to set a number of goals to achieve.
I also welcome adult students, beginners and amateur enthusiasts alike.
In addition to gaining expertise in the techniques in violin playing, students in my studio will be given opportunities to gain comprehensive music knowledge including theory, sight singing, ear training, and any relevant music history, as the above-mentioned knowledge are indispensable elements in violin playing. Singing and clapping are essential parts of the lesson. When students are equipped with the basics, they can play anything and make the music they want.
About Dongbin
I have been a professional violin performer and teacher for over 15 years. I am the winner of the 2011 Central Washington University Symphony Orchestra Concerto Competition. I have previously served as the concertmaster at The Hartt Symphony Orchestra.
During my time at The Hartt School, from which I earned Master of Music and Graduate Professional Diploma, I was appointed as the violin technique class instructor at The Hartt School, teaching undergraduate violin major students.
In addition to working as a violin instructor at local private schools, I also teach privately at students' homes. I am requested to substitute for faculty at The Hartt School Community Division time to time, filling in to teach violin and coach chamber music groups.

Hi! My name is Jaclyn and I am a professional violinist who has spent the last four years performing in New York City. I have had the honor of performing as a soloist and a chamber musician in some of New York's most sought after venues including Steinway Hall. I have also performed in a number of pit orchestras including an off broadway production of Carousel. I am also a studio musician and have done a number of commercials. I work frequently with composers working on new classical music as well as with rock and alternative musicians. I bring my wide variety of experience as well as my passion for creative and collaborative learning to my teaching. I appreciate learning music from a more well rounded perspective looking at theory, history, and performance practice.
About Jaclyn
I am a Professional Violinist and I graduated with a Bachelor of Music from New York University. I have spent the last four years performing in and around New York City. I have loved working in a wide variety of settings as a soloist, chamber musician, orchestra member, studio performer and as a member of several rock and alternative bands. I also enjoy learning about music theory and history and feel they enrich the learning and performing experience.
My musical training began at the age of 5 and loved making music immediately. As a middle school and high school student I participated in school and community youth orchestras as well as several chamber ensembles. During my summers I participated in summer music festivals throughout the United States. As a student I also participated in all-county and all-state orchestras.

As much as
I love performing, I also enjoy teaching and working in a collaborative setting. I challenge my students not only to perform at their best and practice diligently but to also think critically about what they are performing. This is done through score studies and research into the history of the piece and the composer. I also like to spend time with students making creative informed decisions about style and performance.
For a great many years I have struggled with performance anxiety and work well with students to develop mental and physical techniques to overcoming performance anxiety challenges to perform at their best.
I look forward to getting to work with you and helping you grow as a musician.
