About Pam P.

I'm classically trained and teach beginner to intermediate
About Pam
Hello my name is Pam. I started my musical journey at the age of six. I was very fortunate to have parents that invested in my music education at a young age. I thank my mom everyday for the lessons she made possible for me to take. I remember my lessons being that special time for me to express myself. The reason I started giving lessons is because I want to share the same experiences I had when I was taking piano lessons. I am a pianist with over 20 years of experience playing. I offer lessons in the comfort of your own home or at my studio for your convenience. My schedule is flexible. If you're interested in sharing the gift of music with your children and family, then please contact us. I would enjoy being a part of your family's musical adventure.

I started music at age 5. My parents were both professional musicians.My father was a professional jazz piano player and my mother a classical guitarist. So it is in the blood. I
play a few instruments but my favorite guitar and piano. I went to Nassau Community College for Drama/Music.
I toured in theater groups and also was in a few bands while living in NY. I could not make up my mind so I did both. I love both So. Florida here I come in 1991. Since I was new to the area I starting performing regular basis and became well known in the music community.I also went on a song writing spree. I was also able to do dinner theater in between the music. I met some people, music teachers from going to the open mics. They encouraged me to go out and start teaching and do what I was supposed to do. How it happened ? I placed one small ad, got a call and from there it grew into over 80 students.I just was referred to everyone it was a chain reaction.
In between teaching I was also in a duo and made time for the touring, local gigs, etc....released 3 CD's.
I was very busy that I decided to open up my own music school to handle the over flow of students. I had my business for 9 years.
I produced a lot of talent from there.songwriters with published songs, singers with contracts, bands the guitarist in the now defunct band Hey Monday with Cassidy Pope. Students that were in American Idol- featuring Emily Booke 2 years in a row top twenty then top ten..
America's Got Talent featuring Amy Profaci, Cassidy Pope.
Played for the Boss in RPB with Odd Man Out, Teen Punk Band since disbanded. Had them out and playing gigs at age 14 the youngest oldest 16 at CBGB's. In NYC. They were on the Regis and Kelly show. Students that started with me at age 5 and stayed for years. A lot are off to college or done with school grown up sort of. When they bump into me and say hey Ms. Mel I'll never forget you teaching me music lessons or do you remember that or I loved that band class you did. You changed my whole life.
I really appreciate it and I did make a difference in their lives.
I also write for TV and Film and have over 30 professionally published songs. Songs playing on commercials, TV and overseas in England. They seem to love it over there a lot of fan mail.
Ok this is as follows.
*** Lesson Details ***
Cancellations : 24 hour notice. Make up lessons are at my discretion.
61 key keyboard are ok for piano lessons.
You must have a piano for vocal lessons if I come to your home. You must have a guitar 🎸 for guitar lessons. I do not supply any instruments or lesson books. You are required to contact me once booked and find out what you will need.
How long will it take to learn depends on YOU!!!!
Practice is the answer not a question. You must be prepared to work to do the work. If you do not understand it we will do it until you get it.
My Adult students this goes for you too.
It is important that you practice. So I recommend cutting down on video games and TV.
I suggest no TV or Video games especially before the lessons are about to start. Very distracting for the kids.
I expect you to be practiced and ready to go when I get there. If you want to be a rock star that's what it takes, discipline.
Its great when a parent can sit in while I'm teaching your child. Remember I am teaching you as well.
You will be helping your child practice during the week until the next lesson.
For the guitar there will be complaints of hurting finger tips.
I cannot do anything about that it comes with guitar playing.
For the like piano, the fingers will not hurt.
After 3 to 6 months for the older student I expect all 6 strings to be complete and chords and strumming on guitar and learning songs of your choice.
Piano - Sight Reading and being able to play with 2 hands in the key of "C" with ease.
This will only happen with practice, And learning songs of your choice if you choose to.
Small ones as much time as they need depends upon how long it takes for them to learn it and how much time mom can help practice.

About Mike
I teach all styles of music and all levels of ability
As I look back at my life, I see that music was my constant companion. My passion for music, and more specifically for the guitar, goes back to the time when, as a ten year old I received a guitar for my birthday. The sound of the instrument truly struck a chord in my heart and I learned to respect and love the instrument to the point that I thought of it almost as a companion, as something alive or, more exactly, as something my fingers could make come alive. At first I wanted to play rock and popular music, but eventually I switched to classical. When I entered the realm of classical music, a whole new world opened up for me -- new feelings, new emotions, and new challenges.
My enthusiasm for music continued, and beginning in 1990 I attended the Hartt School of Music, part of

When I entered the realm of classical music, a whole new world opened up for me -- new feelings, new emotions, and new challenges.
My enthusiasm for music continued, and beginning in 1990 I attended the Hartt School of Music, part of
the University of Hartford. I knew, of course, that the education of a musician is truly never finished, and between 1995 and 1997, I took Master Jazz Classes in New York City, under the direction of Dennis Cinelli, the international guitar player and soloist.
While in Florida, I attended classes at Florida International University. Between 2000 and 2003 I played in an orchestra on board the ships of the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line.
All along the way I have been teaching the guitar at just about every level, an activity that I always enjoyed but admittedly is somewhat limiting. Teaching brings us back to the basics, but for a musician performing is what makes us grow professionally and satisfy us emotionally.

About Oliver H.
Close
I teach rock keyboard with a focus on fun. I've spent many, many hours playing songs from the Beatles, Spoon, Radiohead, Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver and many more. I received my piano proficiency from Knox College where I majored in music.
My beginning students always start with a song that they love. As soon as those songs are internalized the application of scales will become a necessity, but will never take precedent over rhythm and feel.
Are you ready to start your adventure into the world of piano?
About Oliver
I specialize in upright bass, jazz bass, funk bass, bass technique, and rhythm. I will inspire a positive attitude and good practice habits that will help any student succeed. I’ve extensively studied jazz, latin jazz, funk, rock music, hip hop, bluegrass, folk, and composition.
I can also teach guitar, piano, drums, and voice. As a mulit-instrumentalist, jamming with my students is a priority. Being able to play with other musicians is one of the best feelings you’ll ever experience. I’m happy to take you there!
Recently, I helped one of my bass players get a scholarship to go to Berklee Summer Camp to study music.
I am very excited to continue my teaching on TakeLessons. I look forward to helping new students to become the musician of their dreams.
I've been playing professionally in Chicago for five years where I play up

I am very excited to continue my teaching on TakeLessons. I look forward to helping new students to become the musician of their dreams.
I've been playing professionally in Chicago for five years where I play up
right for a classical chamber pop group called the Nine Worlds Ensemble and for a jazz group with Frank Catalano, a popular Chicago sax-man. I co-managed, played upright bass, and sang for an ambient-folk band, Sedgewick, based in Chicago. I've played upright bass in the Frank Catalano and Jimmy Chamberlin (drummer for Smashing Pumpkins) super group and Bowmanville.
I am currently dreaming up my own jazz-inspired project called the ohm trio. Working on my debut record under my solo name ohm. Be on the look out!

About Chris C.

My approach to teaching involves developing a comprehensive understanding of what one is doing while playing, rather than just learning a couple of songs, or relying solely on your muscle memory, you will be able to explain what you are doing from a theoretical standpoint.
Without getting too heavy with the use of technical terms, I will teach you to see the underlying threads that apply to all styles of music and encourage you to begin making these types of connections yourself.
This is an important skill to develop early so that as you progress you can begin to teach yourself develop your own unique stylistic approaches to music!
After studying at Laguardia High school for the Performing Arts, I attended McGill University in Montreal where I earned my Bachelor's degree in Jazz Piano Performance.
If you study with me you will be able to expand your knowledge of:
-Music Theory
-Harmony
-Piano technique
-Ear Training
-Sight Reading
-Composition
-Improvisation

About Chris
Born and raised in downtown Manhattan, I have studied music for over 15 years now. When I was about 8 years old I started studying classical piano, and to be perfectly honest, it was like pulling teeth to get me to play.
The repetitious nature of learning classical etude after etude wore down upon me at that young age and it was hard for me to focus on it.
Then I learned about the blues scale and picked up the electric guitar...
After starting to play some blues piano and studying with guitar player
Scott Sharrard of the Gregg Allman band, I started to really enjoy playing music.
I was also playing Trumpet in my middle school band (NYC Lab school) although the constant upkeep trumpet requires made it hard to study three instruments at once...

I was also playing Trumpet in my middle school band (NYC Lab school) although the constant upkeep trumpet requires made it hard to study three instruments at once...
I proceeded to go to Laguardia High school where I decided to zero in on the piano, studying t
heory and piano technique extensively, and deciding to study jazz as well as classical music.
I began to compose my own tunes and study improvisation diligently, and ended up earning my Bachelor's degree from McGill University.
If you choose to study with me, I will guarantee that you will have fun and see music as more than just a sequence of abstract notes... you will learn how certain chord progressions imply certain emotional settings, and how to manipulate those progressions into creating a scene or narrative!
Now I have record my own jazz albums, and play keyboards in a rock band called "Caverns" based here in NYC.
Additionally, I am also fluent in Ableton and record my own electronic music which I am willing to teach, as it is an important skill in the 21st century music scene.
Thank you for your consideration!

About Alan M.
Close
I enjoy sharing the joys of music! I start with beginners by combining reading, song selection and music theory right from the beginning. A strong basis in theory makes learning easier, and therefore more fun. I enjoy what I do, and I incorporate my enthusiasm into each lesson. I'm a very patient, easy going person: I do not believe in hard discipline, but at the same time I require that you do your "homework" and come prepared to each lesson. I involve formulas such as the whole whole half, whole whole whole half method when teaching major scales. I use that in combination with reading to make it easier for the student to grasp the concept of reading and understanding musical notation. I also employ my own techniques of combining books with my own knowledge, which I tailor to each student. Everyone is different and what works for some may not work as well for others. That is why I teach a curriculum tailor made floor each student, so that everyone can find their string and ...

With some hard work & dedication, you can become a fantastic piano player, & branch out into guitar, singing, brass & woodwinds... the possibilities are endless! Piano is the greatest instrument to start on, as you'll be learning to read both clefs of music. It also helps teach your brain to seperate left & right hands into doing seperate things! Music is just so much fun, whether it's entertainin
g a few friends & family, or being on the big stage under the bright lights with thousands cheering for you!! I couldn't imagine my life without the joys of music, & I sincerely hope that you consider going down the beautiful road that music can lead you down! Trust me: it's challenging at times, but man is it ever worth it!!! Music is the coolest thing I've ever undertaken, & I couldn't be more proud of all the places its taken me, & all the amazing people I've met! So: LET'S DO THIS! Sincerely, Alan M.

My first lesson with Alan was wonderful! He was easy going dispite my lack of knowledge and was patient with me even when my fingers fumbled. I was having trouble getting my fingers to match what I was reading. Even though I probably was a hard first time student, he never got frustrated or disappointed with my progression. I definitely recommend an hour or more if you are a beginner as the time passes very quickly.
By my fourth or fifth lesson, I couldn't believe that I was playing my first short song and learning to read the music on sheet with ease. I practiced at home with the keyboard that Alan recommended for me (was an amazing fit, and affordable) along with the book he had me working in, a few hours during the week in between lessons. My progression surprised myself and even my kids! They were impressed with the fact that even I could now play now after only a few lessons. They had thought me a lost cause when it comes to music, as they tried to have me help and learn with them for school. After thier graduation from middle school to high school this year, two of the three decided they wanted to learn too. Sience I already had the keyboard, why not?
I continued my lessons, and they started theirs. Both of them loved it, and told me this kind of "hands on" teaching was what was missing in their school. You can't just give them an instrument and a book and say play. Soon we were taking trips together to see Alan for lessons. They are doing wonderful, as am I. My son even wants to learn "production" when he gets better at regular lessons. We each have our own books, different songs, and I even purchased another keyboard for the kids! This time a "cooler" one with effects that they love! They actually fight over the keyboard, and I have NEVER seen them fight over "homework".
So Alan, to say the least was one of the best teachers I have ever met. He was great with me and at first, my fumbling fingers, and was also "cool" enough for my kids that are at the age of beginning high school, and pretty much dislike everything. It has also created an activity for us to even do together, dispite our music choice gap!
I definitely recommend Alan and his skills that seem to never end in the music world. His patience, ability, teaching method, and diversity are an A++. Even if you are teetering on the edge of taking lessons yourself, or mabye nervous about your childs interest or skill, take it from me, contact Alan! He's the best!
Alan, if you can read this, thank-you so much for teaching us all, and see you next week!
