Mastering the Art of Musicality Using Viola Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Lessons all Throughout the Summer
course price icon
From 83 C$ /h
arrow icon
As a beginner, we envelope the simple factors that go into making a beautiful piece, and find ways to feel confident within our selves and our playing skills. Starting from scratch and building the foundation of your playing is crucial during this era of learning, and with constant practice, time, and patience, we can overcome any obstacle in music together.

Students in intermediate/advanced classes will have a heavier workload and more commitment to their lessons as well as tasks provided afterwards such as to-do lists and practice logs. These students are to be prepared 100% of the time with preparing their repertoire prior to the lesson, and maintaining their practice log accordingly.

I'm a professional harpist from France, passionate about the harp since I'm a child, it would be a pleasure to share and help you to learn more about this beautiful instrument.
I taught 8 years when I was living in Belgium and I always loved sharing my knowledge about the harp with my student. I like the lessons to be enjoyable by a fun and engaging way in order to make my students achieve their goals, and build a strong basis to help them grow and expand their musicality.

Hello! My name is Alberto. I am a clarinet player who graduated from Codarts University of the Arts (Rotterdam). I am specialized in Classical Music, though I can teach also Jazz in a beginner to intermediate level.

I have always had a deep interest in chamber music, teaching and improvisation and I would like to be able to show you this passion.
The focus of my lessons is to show the possibilities of music, adapting to the student needs, going from clarinet technique to theory, other styles of music such us Klezmer, Jazz, basic piano, as well as learning how to play the bass clarinet.
But the most important thing is to find a path for each student, so do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions and feel free to share your thoughts, I can adapt to your personal goals!

Hello! I am a clarinetist who graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp. I offer private ONLINE lessons. For beginners, intermediate and advanced students.

I’m a trained pianist from the Manhattan School of Music. During my training at MSM I took piano pedagogy and music theory pedagogy classes. I’ve been teaching since I was a teenager and I have taken students of all different levels and ability. I think proper hand position, aural training along with method books build a solid foundation for the emerging pianist. I tailor the method books to the students age and level.

How do you learn and what are your goals in learning music? I aim to make learning music as interesting and accessible as possible. I use a scaffolded approach to teaching that pairs physically sustainable playing techniques (Alexander Technique) with built-upon previous knowledge and interests. I hold MM and BM degrees from New York University and The University of Iowa and studied with Melissa White and Gregory Fulkerson for the entirety of my Masters of Music at New York University.
I am a violinist and violist currently living and working in New York City. I have played in such venues as Lincoln Center Summer Stages, Carnegie Hall, Duomo di Orvieto, among others. I grew up playing bluegrass with my parents and now genre-hop among traditional classical music, contemporary classical, pop, singer-songwriter, musical theater, jazz, avant-garde, and folk. For these reasons and more, I enjoy tailoring the repertoire and technique education to the student's goals and interests. I have taught 3 year olds, elementary kids, high schoolers, college students, and adult learners, and enjoyed all within the age range for various reasons.

I am a passionate and dedicated music teacher who focuses on helping my students achieve their goals. My style of teaching aims to make a student feel comfortable with their instrument, no matter their starting level. The lessons are catered to you and what you would like to accomplish on the clarinet.

We will explore the parts of the clarinet, proper maintenance, reading sheet music, practice routines, and much more. Each lesson will help the student gain confidence over a specific problem they are facing. I believe that a strong foundation in music can significantly enhance future progress on an instrument. I work with the student to find music they will love to play. Various genres of music may be studied, including pop, rock, jazz, and classical music. Students may also choose whether to focus solely on the clarinet or expand into more concepts in music theory.

Music education is my passion, which I love to share with my students. I want to create a nurturing learning environment together to enhance your experience. Lessons can be in my home or through Zoom. For online lessons, I will be using a microphone and screensharing to convey information.

Music is a beautiful thing that today can be anything from a brief escape from reality, to a passion, to a hobby to enjoy. I help people learn about all types of music, and aid them in forging their own relationship with it. Experienced in many different genres and styles, I seek to expand people's musical views and show them that regardless of who you are, where you're from and what you do, music can be whatever you want it to be for you, and it's my job to help you figure out what that is and find what your passion in music is.
