Review by Bryon Reina
"Here's the deal: Regardless of your level, if you're looking for an excellent guitar teacher, you've just found him. Nathaniel is great. He has the patien
ce to work with true beginners and the knowledge and ability to help even well-seasoned players drastically improve. Also, the breadth of his knowledge is quite impressive. While he has a particular love of African music, he's an expert in basically any genre--indie rock, surf rock, fingerpicking, classical, jazz, Balinese gamelan on guitar. The list probably goes on and on. On top of all that, sometimes his jokes are funny, too! You're getting a really special teacher here. Nathaniel is a good, humble person with a genuine interest in facilitating the improvement of his students."

"Mia is the most wonderful combination of warm, gentle, encouraging BUT accurate and firm. My 8 year old daughter can be shy. Mia is able to draw her out
in the kindest way. It gives me great joy to see how my fun my daughter is having with Voice, and the confidence she has gained from it!"

"Bronwyn is a gifted fiddle teacher with an uncommon ability to intuit what her students need and how they learn best. She teaches a broad range of student
s, including accomplished musicians, but I came to her as a 50-year-old with basically no musical background at all. As anyone who has tried this instrument knows, the fiddle has a learning curve that can be daunting to beginners. But Bronwyn managed to coax me to the next level and the next. She is deeply knowledgeable, patient and has an infectious love of the music. She makes it fun. My sense is that great musicians are not always great teachers. Bronwyn is both. I would recommend her to anyone."

Review by Erin
"I have been a student of music for many years with piano and violin. This year it was time for a change. Taking on cello with Victor has been the best exp
erience. He is kind, patient and provides a wonderful learning environment. Although my lessons are done online it seems no different then if he were standing in my living room! I would encourage anyone to take cello lessons from Victor as he teaches a unique way with every student. By the end of your first lesson you will love what you learn and practice to get better. It has been super fun and I look forward to learning more!"

About Stephanie
Hello, and thank you for your interest!
My name is Stephanie, I am a teaching-artist from El Paso, Texas. I currently reside, perform and teach in the Boston and greater Boston area.
I am a recent graduate of The New England Conservatory of Music with my Masters in Saxophone Performance. I received my Bacherlors in Music Education from New Mexico State University.
“A teaching artist, by definition, is a two-career professional: a working artist and a working educator. As a working artist is they are involved in an ongoing process of discovery, problem solving, discipline and refinement of skills in their discipline. As a working educator, it is essential that the artist is also developing a knowledge base and skills to be an effective partner in education.

As a working educator, it is essential that the artist is also developing a knowledge base and skills to be an effective partner in education. Achieving a meaningful balance between these two professions, whereby one
feeds the other, is an ongoing process that requires a deepening awareness for the teaching artist of what their teaching brings to their art and what their art teaches them about learning.”
I am devoted and dedicated to helping find each of my students strengths, weaknesses and style of learning. Once I have identified these traits, I am able to develop lessons and repertoire that helps each students become the most efficient learner and best musician they can be.
I pride myself in creating a fun and safe learning environment in which I establish a firm musical foundation for my students. Lessons include: scales, etudes, articulation, dynamic and sight reading exercises, standard saxophone repertoire, recording and analyzing performances, saxophone/music history lessons, and exploration of the sounds, genres and artists of the saxophone.
Simultaneously, my students cultivate many other skills while learning how to play saxophone. Students enhance their fine motor skills and ability to memorize, students increase their overall self-confidence and become self-sufficient and creative problem solvers. I am passionate about educating and empowering my students and I enjoy connecting with a wide array of musicians of all ages, playing levels and backgrounds.
Feel free to contact me to inquire about lessons, I hope to hear from you soon!

Hi! I'm Heather, an organist, pianist, and choral conductor I studied at Oberlin College and Conservatory, double majoring in Organ and French. I then spent two years living and studying in the Paris area, studying at the Conservatoire de Versailles. I believe that learning should be fun and rewarding. I like to use other subjects, such as math, art, science and literature to augment my teaching. Music education should be fun, challenging and rewarding. In my spare time, I enjoy knitting, sewing and engaging in other creative pursuits.

Hi! I am a professional bassoon player working in the Boston area and an Instructor of Bassoon at the University of Connecticut. I received my bachelor's degree from The Juilliard School and my master's degree from the New England Conservatory. My major teachers include Richard Ranti, Judith LeClair, David Carroll and Gregg Henegar. I work with bassoon students of all ages and levels. My approach to teaching is based on the philosophy and methods that have been passed down to me. Balancing solo pieces and melodic etudes with technical etudes and exercises allows us to get a little closer to our goal of creating music that transports us to another place.

Hi there!
I am a supportive and encouraging teacher willing to teach all ages and abilities. It is my firm belief that music is for everyone.
I am currently pursuing my M.M. from Longy School of Music. I completed my undergraduate work at Rhode Island College, where I studied oboe and bassoon privately. I am currently on the private lesson roster for two public schools in the area, and teach both double-reeded instruments. I have successfully helped young students prepare for and audition into district level ensembles.
I have reed-making experience and can assist students with finicky reeds, to help ease the most frustrating part about playing oboe & bassoon.
I'm looking forward to working with you!

About Rebekah
I am a current graduate student in vocal performance. I previously studied voice performance at Mannes College in New York. I love to perform, and was most recently seen as a soloist with Opera Maya in Mexico.
As a teacher I strive to help students produce their voices in a free and healthy manner. In addition to technique, I encourage students to explore musically and dramatically through their repertoire. Everyone has a unique sound and a unique interpretation that they bring to music. I help students tap into that in a safe and fun environment.
In addition to studying classical voice, I also studied piano for 8 years and music theory for 3 years. I try to incorporate theory and aural skills into all lessons, so that student become well-rounded musicians while building healthy vocal technique.
