Priscilla - Saint Paul, MN$58
$58Music: voice, piano, songwriting, theory, acting & speech
It's time to learn to enjoy making music from a teacher who customizes your lessons around your goals and styles. I teach voice, keyboard/piano, composition/songwriting, theory, speech, and acting. With multiple music degrees and a lifetime of performance experience, I provide the technical know-how and combine that with my creativity and fun-loving personality to truly customize your learning experience. I've performed most styles, from Gospel and worship music to opera and hip-hop. I've lived and made music in four countries including three Latin American and Caribbean countries, which has helped shape my style and creativity. My learning and teaching style is analytic, and so I take care to make sure that you understand each process and idea as concepts build on one another. But my no-nonsense approach insists that you will be playing and singing your favorite music almost immediately. On the piano, I generally focus on chord theory and build from there. My sight reading method is unique and helps you to bypass the endless process of tedious reading laid out in the popular method books. For young students, I might start them with sight reading until they are able to understand the logic of chord theory. For singers and songwriters, as well as speakers and actors, we lay a solid basis of technique and then look at popular examples from artists and styles you admire, whole working to expand your musical niche. Most importantly, our goal is to ensure that you will enjoy creating music for the rest of your life.

Brian - Brookhaven, NY$72
$72Viola, violin and music theory lessons with a Peabody-trained violist
Hello! I am a Long Island-based viola and violin teacher currently working towards a Master's degree in viola performance at Stony Brook University. I have taught more than a dozen violin and viola students ages 6-70 over the past 5 years, and I continue to maintain a hybrid studio in Northern Virginia in addition to lessons online and on Long Island. I hold a Bachelor of Music degree in viola from the Peabody Institute of Music in Baltimore. I care deeply about the quality of my lessons, and I continuously improve my teaching materials to meet the needs of each student and to reflect each new insight I gain about string playing. My approach in lessons is based on having a long term plan for each student of becoming an excellent all-around musician, while achieving satisfying results in the short term. The most important skill I focus on with every student, young and old, is being able to analyze a technical or musical problem, break it down into a set of realistic steps, and work with efficiency to gain and retain the results. In other words: understanding how to practice in a rewarding but challenging way. In my viola and violin lessons, music theory work is vital to making musical progress, whether through understanding chords and tonal harmony, or simply reading music fluently. I was the recipient of the Azalia H. Thomas Prize for Music Theory in my graduating class at Peabody, and I regularly compose and arrange music for my students and peers. I am glad to teach theory and composition independently of instrumental instruction for interested students, but know that if you would like to study an instrument with me, you will build a great base knowledge of theory.

Adrian - Williamsburg, NY$98
$98Piano, Composition, Theory, Guitar with Yale-educated Composer and Multi-instrumentalist
Trusted teacher: I offer lessons in guitar/bass, piano/keyboard (classical/experimental/pop/jazz), composition/songwriting, production/recording (DAWs, mixing, editing etc). No matter what level we're on, as musicians and artists we're all part of a wonderful and strange ongoing human project, and I believe that it's my duty to share the knowledge and skills that I've accumulated throughout the course of my life and career. Over the years, my work has branched out in many different stylistic directions but I am firmly rooted in avant-garde/classical music. I hold two degrees in composition: a Master of Music '11 from the Yale School of Music where I also taught undergraduate lessons in composition; and a BA in Music Composition from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, Sweden ('09). I've written large scale works for orchestra, chamber pieces, solo music for a variety of instruments, works with multichannel electronics, and works for theater and dance. For those interested, my recorded work is easily accessible online on a variety of labels and my scores are available from Schott Music New York. As a pianist, I began formal training at age 6 and worked through much of the classical repertoire before deciding to focus fulltime on composition. I am also an accomplished studio musician, improviser (jazz/free/experimental), and a member of several groups/ensembles. A firm believer in the use of intuition as a primary tool in music making of all kinds, I would like our lessons to be shaped according to your needs and interests. No matter what level you are on, my goal will always be to offer you exactly what you need at each given step. I treat each student as a unique collaborative effort. Apart from technical and aesthetic approaches, it is usually very difficult and takes a long time to find one's 'voice' as a performer, writer or producer; this is inevitable except in rare cases, and I will endeavour to teach you to trust in your own abilities, overcome insecurities and doubts, and connect your artistic practice with a more unified mindset that goes beyond imagined technical and stylistic limitations and aesthetic policing. The main point is to eradicate unnecessary obstacles to your creativity and learn to trust your intuition and choices.
