Nathan - Ridgewood, NY644 CNY

644 CNYSaxophone, clarinet, and flute lessons. Learn to use your ear and improvise, compose, and read!

As a teacher, I always try to focus on what the student is passionate about, while keeping in mind their weaknesses or aversions. When I was a student, the most profound growth I experienced was when I was fully engaged in the act of music making. I want to guide my students along a path to fall in love with music, whatever form that may come in. I know this will be much more valuable than any technique or song I could ever teach them. While I know this is the goal, I am also aware that this won’t happen with every student. Often this process happens further down the line. In those cases I just want them to get the most they can out of music, and enjoy the process of growing as a musician and a person. It is very important to me to teach music to a diverse community of students. This is how I grew up learning music, and it truly is a way of bringing communities together. It has also been my privilege as a teacher to serve many underprivileged communities (as a part of Oakland Summer music, and Oakland Public Conservatory), as I believe everyone deserves access to quality music education. In my private or group lessons, I like to first gauge the students’ listening habits and any music they are listening to. In my experience with younger students, many of them have yet to start listening to music on their own. I try to provide them a space to just listen to music. This way we can work on their technique through music they already enjoy. I will often have them learn songs by ear while also working on some fundamentals such as scales or tonging. We would also work on whatever weaknesses the student may have in their own public music programs or in their other music making. Often that is reading, ear training, or general lack of knowledge. I am always happy to work on these things in a patient but challenging manner. While improvement is the goal, I know first hand that failure is an important and essential part of the learning process.

Brooke - Highland Lake, NJ301 CNY

301 CNYPrivate lessons for the Striving Oboist or Music Theorist

I have a Master's degree in Oboe Performance, and I obtained this degree with the intention of being able to teach young oboists and help them advance. I started studying with a private teacher as a freshman in high school and my skills exploded almost immediately. Since then I have experienced several different teachers and teaching styles, and I feel like I can find a way to break through for any student. By tailoring a lesson directly to the students needs, I feel confident that I can help improve anyone's skill on the oboe. I also obtained a concentration in music theory during my undergraduate career, and I feel that music theory is very important to the growth of one's musicality. I have done independent research and presentations in this field and have also studied privately, so I would definitely love to teach others the theoretical approach to appreciating music. With my wide array of skills and experience learning, I would love to pass on the knowledge I have learned to others striving to improve.

Trusted teacher: • Spanish Guitar Classes: Over time I have learned to appreciate the Spanish guitar like a small orchestra. - Lead guitar. - Guitar arranged to accompany. Basic / Intermediate / Advanced Level All ages. • Harmony: The three fundamental pillars of music are: melody, harmony and rhythm. I make this selection of harmony because this is the structure on which a melodic line relies to build a soundscape. Basic / Intermediate / Advanced Level All ages. • Composition: The musician must compose both when interpreting existing music and to create new one. It is the form of expression that allows us to be sincere and show the landscapes that contain our soul and our heart. Basic / Intermediate / Advanced Level All ages. • Arrangements: Once we have all the material for a composition (our own or not); we must recreate the soundscape that we want to express by choosing the instrumentation, texture, and entrances and exits of each musical phrase. Basic / Intermediate / Advanced Level All ages. • Assembly: It is important when arranging a composition (our own or not) that we take into account teamwork, seeing it as a map of subjective possibilities that each instrumentalist contributes to the whole.
