"Dawn was great with my 10 year old son. She really took a lot of time with him. She had a lit of patience. By the end of the lesson he had learned how to
do some of the fingering he had been having trouble with. He felt a lot more confident with his Instrument. I would highly recommend her to any student. In addition to the lesson, she was very easy to schedule with and fit us in at very short notice."

About Leidys
Hi, I love to teach children as young as 3 years old and adults using our own Brain-Based Piano Method, a Mindful and Comprehensive System to learn music and piano that incorporates the latest scientific findings on how we learn. We, my husband and I, started creating this method in 2012 when we could not find a comprehensive method created with today's children needs in mind. We want our students to truly enjoy music making, and to achieve that they need to know what they are doing, they need to learn to understand how music works. We are proud to say that our method is fun, engaging, effective and practical. our students learn from early on the basics of music: ear training, music theory, form, piano technique, reading and writing notes, and more. But more than anything else, we encourage our students to be creative from the very begin
ning. Our method is a complete system for learning the piano that includes books, CDs, rewards, teaching materials, musical story books and video tutorials accessible online. When you Join us, you will become part of a creative and dynamic studio! You will learn how to see the connections present in music and to transfer all that knowledge to other aspects of your lives. I hope to meet you soon to start a very exciting musical learning journey!

About Monica
If you want to learn to LOVE performing, get in touch with me! I grew up doing youth theatre in the South Bay, I'm a graduate of the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (Vocal Major), as well as the Hartt School of Music, Theatre, and Dance, where I got my BFA in Musical Theatre, and performing is truly in my blood!
I believe that more than anything, music should be about having fun and making your soul happy. And I believe lessons should be fun as well! Of course we'll get into theory, healthy & sustainable singing technique, and performance & audition prep, but it's more about throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what your particular style is.
The same goes for my acting lessons, of course. I will work diligently to find material that fits you personally, and then we will work it until it becomes as natural as your own t

I can also help with college auditions for musical theatre programs, seeing as I auditioned for 25 college myself before settling on Hartt.
If any of the above interests you, send me a quick question and we'll work out a time that works for both of us! Have a great day!!

My experiences playing trumpet have been some of the best times of my life. I grew up playing in school bands and performing in rock groups with friends. I marched in the Georgia State Panther Band and traveled the country with them to perform at football games and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. After receiving my degree in Music Education I continue to perform around the city in many different settings including rock clubs and churches. Trumpet is such a versatile instrument and it can take you so many places, let me show you!

On the college level, I have taught clarinet, saxophone, and flute at three colleges, a Woodwind Methods class for five years, developed jazz ensembles, and developed and procured music for woodwind trios and saxophone quartets.

I am a class of 2018 graduate from New York University Steinhardt with a BM in clarinet performance. I have been teaching clarinet since 2014, and playing since 2005. As a young musician with fours years of experience playing in Manhattan, I have had clarinet and bass clarinet students of varying ages and skill levels, and highly enjoyed aiding them in their musical careers. I have performed at venues such as National Sawdust, Carnegie hall, and Symphony Space. The opportunity to share musical knowledge with eager students is exciting and important to me! I am flexible with pricing and scheduling and can't wait to work with musicians of all levels.

About Madison
Hey! I'm an Arizona native that loves what I do. I continue to teach piano lessons because of the experiences I get to share with all different kinds of people, and the challenges I get to overcome with my students when it comes to understanding different topics, learning to play a challenging piece, or progressing as a musician.
When I'm not playing the piano I am often creating pieces of art or working on my car of motorcycles. I love identifying problems and working to to fix them. My number one goal is to make the best out of each and every situation. I strive to help everyone I can and make my community a better place.
