About Jean
Jean is patient, fun, and imaginative. She also loves passing on the gift of music to anyone wanting to learn!
Jean's philosophy of teaching is; 1. Taking on any new task requires time and discipline. Mistakes are a part of the learning process. The biggest challenges reap the greatest rewards.
2. The student and teacher are a team! The teacher and student will work together to learn together. As the student is learning new skills and techniques, the teacher is learning all about the student and their specialized needs.
Jean's Education:
Jean is a graduate of Bradford College in Bradford MA with a Bachelors Degree in Creative Arts. Her major instrument is piano.
Jean's Experience:
Jean began playing piano at the age of 5. Taking a break from lessons for a few years as a teenager and picking it up again in College.

*** Lesson Details ***
Within a lesson, students can expect to be given instruction on developing proper technique. (scales, chords, basic music theory etc). The learning environment will be laid back and fun, with the student and teacher setting goals together, and reasonable expectations will be held for both the student and teacher.
Jean will ask what it is in particular that the student is wanting to learn, and will seek to develop curriculum centered around the student's goals. Weekly practice (5 days a week, 20-30 minutes a day) will be the encouraged minimum. This will vary slightly depending on individual student needs.
Students will have the opportunity to learn to play music by composers such as Mozart and Bach. They can also learn how to play movie soundtracks, tunes from their favorite Broadway or Disney songs, and more! Vocal students will have the opportunity to learn show tunes, Italian arias, German songs, praise and worship songs, their favorites from musicals, and more.

About Gregory N.
Close
I am not 100% concerned with making all of my students play classical music. Some students are more interested in improvising, playing jazz, or rock and that's A-Ok with me! I do like to get a good mix of everything into my lessons, but my first priority is to make sure everything is fun and interesting for the student. I've taught students from ages 5 to 75 and not all of them have the same interests. My job is help my pupils learn how to play piano in the easiest way possible for them.
About Gregory
I have been teaching private lessons in piano, percussion, and music theory since 2008 and I am currently available to teach lessons at my home, your home, and online. I have helped students of all ages and abilities achieve anything from playing their first song on the piano, to performing in recitals, and auditioning for college.
I received my bachelor's degree in Music Composition at Hampshire College and my master's degree in Music Composition from Boston Conservatory. I have performed professionally as a jazz pianist, classical pianist, jazz drummer, classical percussionist, and in multiple rock settings all around North America.

I practice music I like, learn shortcuts (for me - knowing I would forever remain a Mussolini or whatever the guys name was to his Mozart) and immediately can identify where I was having difficulty even when I couldn't articulate it. Highly recommend Greg.

About Mark M.
Close
My youth and adult piano students study using a thorough method that utilizes technical exercises, music theory study, and appropriate repertoire.
About Mark
I am an active performer eager to teach organ, piano, voice, and general musicianship skills to youth and adults. Private lessons are given at Trinity Lutheran Church in Worcester. I also teach in-home piano lessons. My students have gone on to undergraduate and graduate performance schools and hold full-time positions in churches, schools, and other performing organizations around the country. I believe music is not only an aesthetic pursuit, but also a primary way to develop one's sense of self-esteem, community, trust, openness, and character. Building skill as a musician exercises the brain, builds logic, and fosters discipline.
I have been elected Dean of the Worcester Chapter of the American Guild of Organists, with a two year term beginning July 2018.

About Inna D.
Close
We will learn to read music, play in your favorite style from pop and jazz to classical music, and we will have fun!
About Inna
Hello, and thank you for your interest!
My name is Inna, I'm a jazz and world vocalist, pianist and composer.
I come from family of musicians, and I have started exploring music since the age of 5. In addition to my classical studies in Russia, I won the only full tuition scholarship to study in famous Berklee College of Music in the competition that took place during Berklee Asia Scholarship Tour in 2010.
In Berklee I was deeply influenced and moved by Eastern European and Middle Eastern music, which lead to experimentations in fusing those genres with modal jazz and then later rock.
I studied Vocal Performance, and Contemporary Writing and Production, and I have over a decade of experience in teaching, and performing, so I look forward to working with you to develop your voice, piano, and composing/arranging skills!

About Maggie B.
Close
Graduate with a Music Composition degree and Piano Performance focus from Samford University. Soon to pursue my Masters at the Longy School of Music at Bard College in the Fall of 2017. Currently living in Frederick, Maryland. Experience teaching students from age 6 to 14 of both beginner/intermediate level. From a pedagogical standpoint I believe equally in students loving the music and product they are creating as well as fundamentally understanding the theory, technique, and practice method conducive to efficient and fast learning. I am also very open to teaching students about writing music and letting them use the full potential of their creative abilities. Of course, each student is different so lessons are individually tailored to meet students where they are and how they wish to progress. Undoubtedly there is also such importance in creating an environment that allows students to grow a love for music, feel comfortable learning at their own pace, express themselves through the
About Maggie
I am a graduate of Samford University with a degree in Music Composition and Piano Performance. I will be continuing my education by pursuing my Master in Composition at the Longy School of Music at Bard. I have studied classical piano and composition for 9 years and actively study, perform, and write classical and contemporary music. I was a 3 year member of an internationally acclaimed A Cappella vocal ensemble. This past year we toured the Baltics and received the top honors Grand Prix award - as well as 5 others - in Lithuania. I have written music for short film, have had my classical work performed by groups such as Sybarite 5, The Amernet String Quartet, and numerous professional music faculty and students. I have had my own personal songs (singer/songwriter) played by radio stations from Maryland to New York, and was a guest artis
t on WTMD's Baltimore Hit Parade in 2015 - performing and getting to talk about my and other music as well. I am also currently in a popular electronic music duo called the Halter Kids, based out of Birmingham, Alabama.
I firmly believe in fostering an intrinsic love and passion for music in students as well as teaching them the fundamental skills that will allow them to progress effficiently and quickly. In studying both Piano and Composition, students will have the benefit of receiving lessons structured not only around keyboard pedagogy but how to reach their full creative potential in writing as well.
Each students is different and it is important to meet them where they are and tailor the lessons in a fashion that is best for them. That could look like lessons focused on classical music technique and repertoire, practice methods, sight reading, or music theory. Or more contemporary methods such as reading from lead sheets, more improvisatory exercises, ear training, and writing music. Whatever fits the student best is the quickest path to getting them to understand and love this art.
I am open to working with students of all ages, experience, and goals. I am a musician of Classical Performance, Composition, Jazz, Songwriting and Singing, but regardless of the genre am extremely passionate about teaching students to find their own path and voice as a musician!

I, Chloe, a 12 year old girl who plays guitar, have been taking lessons with Mr. Lesley for 6 years. He always encourages me to do my best and because of all of the kindness and humor he always shows, I would never consider any other instructor. My brother, Brady, who is learning percussion from
Mr. Lesley, feels the same way and always enjoys himself during our weekly lessons.
In conclusion, Rob (Mr. Lesley) is an outstanding and irriplacible music instructor who is greatly recommended by my family.

"Angela worked with our son for almost ten years and really helped mold him into a wonderful musician. She was always patient, but also firm in expecting h
im to practice and use his whole lesson time wisely. She is also very flexible in scheduling, which is always helpful when one has a busy child. The only reason my son stopped lessons was that he ended up getting a part-time job in his sophomore year and we just couldn't find time to work piano into his schedule. I know he misses it. We would definitely recommend Angela if you are looking for a piano instructor."

"Angela is a very accomplished player but most importantly she was a wonderful instructor and teacher for both of our children. Both my daughter and my so
n were taught by Angela from a young age for over 10 years, one lesson each every week. Putting children into piano lessons is the best musical decision one can ever make, since the student will then be able to read music and play a piece of music put down in front of them. A wonderful lifelong skill, even if they move to other instruments or voice training later on. Angela’s kindness and patience is so clearly obvious, making her a wonderful teacher. If I have grandchildren I will send them to Angela as well."
