About Samuel B.
Close
Having grown up in a New York theatrical family, I know one very simple truth - acting is reacting. Whether your goal is to perform improv or gain confidence as a stage actor, I will provide the space for you to gain an understanding of your character's emotional life and apply that understanding to your performance.
I have a Master's degree in Educational Psychology from New Jersey City University. I focus on the psychological aspects of the craft and how best to get to know who you've signed up to become so that you'll be able to portray this person with startling emotional accuracy.
About Samuel
We'll begin with major scales. That way, your fingers will get to know the notes that comprise the chords you'll eventually be learning. Eventually, you'll be able to play whole songs with both major and minor chords and play solos over them (also based on the scales).
I'm a primarily self-taught musician. The bulk of my knowledge came from listening to and imitating delta blues artists such as Robert Johnson and Mississippi John Hurt. Though you will have learned to play campfire standards in fewer than eight lessons, the blues (particularly the form originating from the Mississippi Delta) is the foundation of ALL A
merican music. The better you understand and are able to play it, the more options you will have created for yourself musically. Once you've gained confidence playing the blues, I'll introduce informal jazz.
For more information about my curriculum, you may review my published articles on TakeLesson's Teacher Blog. Please note that I'm available to teach both in-person and online:

This is a whole new world for us as I don’t know anything about this industry so I really didn’t know how to begin to help my daughter pursue her passion
I read Mia’s bio and I knew immediately that she would be a perfect fit for my daughter
Lucky for us she was less than an hour away so I signed my daughter up for lessons not really sure what to expect
My daughter is a senior in high school and just loves acting. She was involved in the plays at school but she had no experience singing and wanted to try
Mia has the experience in musical theater and she is an excellent teacher. She is very patient and genuinely cares about her students
My daughter has grown so much in the short time that she has worked with Mia
She recently auditioned and was accepted to the college she was hoping to attend
Working with Mia gave her the skills and the confidence to be able to accomplish this goal
I can’t say enough about Mia!

About David
Acting students can expect to improve week to week in their acting technique. Every actor has a unique personality. I teach students to discover their own personality and join that personality to the role they wish to play. I provide 5 unique steps that the student can readily apply with any character.
I can help any student to act with freedom, confidence, and expression.
I teach acting students of all different ages and experience levels. I've studied acting for over 20 years and continue to act in film, theater and television.
As a professional actor I frequently take classes to perfect my craft. I am currently writing a film script and a book for actors.
My personal passion is helping others become the greatest actor or actress they

About Jared W.
Close
I teach from a foundation of qualities that all great acting is built upon. With over 10 years of experience working in theater and film I've trained with some of Hollywood's veterans in the craft of acting and learned invaluable lessons along the way. I offer a concise and effective approach to acting that is accessible for any student who has a passion and desire to portray a convincing and believable character.
About Jared
Through this experience I have developed an approach to acting that I believe to be both effective for creating convincing performances and efficient for any actor to learn from, whether beginning or experienced.
All good acting is internal, connected, and experienced; both by the actor as well as the audience and I will teach you how to do just that!
