"Terrific first lesson. Almost immediate improvement in tone thanks to a few simple, easy to remember cues. Stretching exercises and body stance were emph
asized as a foundation to build for quality sound as well as care to prevent injury.
I almost can't wait for my next lesson."

"Darren has been an outstanding teacher for my high school daughter preparing for her college auditions. His attention to detail has vastly improved her te

Review by Christin
"My son started working with Phil after a year of "traditional" guitar lessons with someone else. My son was bored and considering quitting. I'm thankful
we found Phil. Things clicked with Phil immediately...no more out dated songs from a book, Phil taught him to play the songs he liked from his favorite bands. As my son transitioned from Middle School to High School and his schedule became tight he was not willing to give up his guitar lessons with Phil. That is when we transitioned to lessons online. My son looks forward to his lessons and we never have to miss a lesson because we can't make the drive in/out of Concord. Working on Skype has been easy, productive and my son is progressing and he's having fun. Phil is a gifted guitar player and a gifted teacher."

*** Lesson Details ***
I studied music performance at UMass Dartmouth. I have the tools and resources to teach the students what they need to know in order to teach themselves. In lessons, I focus on what the student wants to learn, however for younger students I tend to stick with the methods books for a while.
I am a big fan of applying relevant elements of music theory to the music we're learning: it helps to understand the science behind the music. Noticing patterns and understanding common terminology will make it easier to learn pieces and play with other musicians.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Kimball baby grand piano.
I can teach at my house in Attleboro as well as come to you.
*** Specialties ***
Music theory and classical piano. (Classical and pop)

This is a recommendation for a friend whose musicianship, I hold in high regard.
Larry Kukors, is an exciting jazz bassist with whom I often work, playing jazz in
Boston clubs. I've had an illustrious jazz career, having recorded my drumming
with Stan Getz, Bill Evans, George Russell, and others in NYC and New England.
Larry is a serious minded musician who is passionate about his work. He is a
skillful bassist who is a natural improvisor. I have little doubt that he would be
capable of jazz improvisation instruction online.

About Steven
Hello!
I am a musician, guitarist and a educator. I have been playing guitar for over 30 years. I have been playing Rock, Blues, Jazz, Funk and Gypsy guitar. I have graduated from Berklee College of Music '07. At that time, I've played as an accompanist for the Berklee Vocal Dept. for many years and played shows with various faculties. I have been teaching music since 1999 privately. Also I am a faculty at the Seoul Digital University Music Dept. for 6 years and counting.
Interaction between players are one of the most important elements in music. As a musician, I highly value that. As for my teaching, I love to interact with my students. Hopefully I can let them know how music is wonderful like I did.
Thank you.

About Jeremy
My name is Jeremy. I am a violinist and violist who has performed extensively as a soloist, chamber musician, recitalist, and orchestral leader and member. Music is my greatest passion and joy and I hope to help others experience the same. I have performed in concert halls and at festivals in more than 10 countries in Europe, North and South America, and across the United States. I have performed at festivals including the Cremona International Music Festival, Bowdoin International Music Festival, and Horowitz Summer Music Festival, and have performed as soloist with orchestras including the Cremona Festival Orchestra and Ukraine National Symphony Orchestra. I have won first prize in the Cremona Music Competition and additional prizes in various other competitions. I have extensive experience in orchestral playing, chamber music, and and
contemporary music as well. I have studied and collaborated with many great musicians, and have tried to absorb every drop of depth and insight from them as possible. I believe that the most fundamental aspect of all musical learning is the development of an inner ear, and will work with all students on learning how to imagine sound so that they can then play with beauty, creativity, and quality.

Tips for Singing: Why Practicing Scales Matters

The difference is that, as singers, your instrument is your body! Because of this, as you learn how to sing, you'll likely come across some specific issues of technique. One of the most important things for singers to work on is singing notes that are perfectly in tune. Generally, producing the correct notes for an instrumentalist … Read More
