Music Lessons in North Weymouth, MA. It's your time.

Hello,

I am a graduate from Berklee College of Music in Boston with a degree in Piano and Film Scoring. I also teach composition. Styles of music included: Film Score, Classical, Pop, Rock. I also teach scales, finger exercises, chords, theory and basic songs, and theory. I am fun, easy to get along with, very patient with kids and adults, and have a fun sense of humor. If you are inclined, I am willing to come to your home with a 3 layered mask and stay at least 6ft or more from the student.

I've taught people who were just beginning violin (both children and adults) to students who were working on major concertos. What is most important to me as a teacher is that the student connect with the music and their instrument by being creative and personalizing my approach for the student. I also strongly strive to make performers out of violinists and to help them engage both audiences and themselves.

When you come for a lesson you should come prepared to work hard and have fun!
I will tailor the lessons to your capabilities and personal taste while giving you all the tools you need to progress and enjoy the instrument.
Through specific exercises and playing along with your favorite music, you will connect to the drums and learn all about music.
Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced student aiming at becoming a pro, I will help you get there.

As an Orchestral conductor, I served as Music Director of the University of Texas University Orchestra and enrolled in several conducting competitions. In our lesson, I will lead you to understand the meaning of the score and explore the music's intention. Practically, this lesson including conducting technique, interpretation, score study, analysis, rehearsal technique, stage deportment, and musician interaction. All students receive equal opportunity in a completely transparent organization.
I strongly encourage instrumental players to learn how to conduct. It will not only give you the power to teach young ensembles, also enhance your ability to analyze the pieces you're playing. Please shoot me a message if you are currently interested in Musical Conducting.

*Teaching subject: Orchestral Conducting, Wind Conducting, Choral Conducting

Want to learn how to play piano but never had the time? Now is your chance. I will work with you in the time frame you need to develop the skills required to play everything from jazz, to pop, to classical genres of music. We will work on technical skills, hand placement, music reading, ear training, and rhythmic understanding. Before long, we will be playing the songs that YOU want to learn. I can not wait for us to begin your journey!

The main focus of the private lessons is music theory and how it applies to the instrument. All the while trying to remain fun. Therefore, the musical style/genre that the student is seeking is irrelevant. At Dennis O Guitar Instruction the goal is for the student to have an understanding of the music that they seek to learn and become an independent musician.
