Musical Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in North Adams, MI

I believe that learning repertoire that the student is interested in is the fastest way to develop a passion for music. Positive encouragement is key, and I believe the teachers' job is to guide their students in what they want to do. Developing technical proficiency and understanding the emotions and intent of the music is the foundation of my teaching style. Hello! My name is Evan Levine and I am currently pursuing a Masters degree in music performance at the University of Michigan. Originally from New Jersey, I have been teaching students between the ages of 6-18 for over 8 years in both private and group settings. I have taught a range of music styles, including; Rock, Jazz, Pop, Country and Classical music. I am also proficient in Music Theory and Music History and would be able to supplement that with instrument instruction.

As an alumni of Berklee College of Music, I have a broad understanding not only of music itself, but also how it can be utilized in today’s contemporary world. I have had extensive theory, composition, electronic and vocal classes that not only opened new doors for my music, but showed me ways to communicate what I feel and hear to others through my music. While at Berklee I performed live with bands in Boston and for special events, such as the Red Cross, as well as receiving recognition for my compositions. The 4 years I attended Berklee I assisted and worked with classmates to help them understand assignments and gain the understanding of the material in class from studies such as music history through to performance. I enjoy working with others to help them have a thorough understanding. I believe it is possible for anyone to understand and apply music the way they desire to. It d

Each individual has a unique approach to critical thinking, and using that approach is the best way for that person to learn. I make every attempt to identify a person's perspective so as to shape my teaching for that person in the best possible way. Whether someone is visual-, aural-, logical-, or otherwise-oriented makes a significant difference in the way that person will respond to new information. Above all, I remain positive in my approach, because I realize that every success requires an amount of trial and error behind it, and that nobody is born into their skills though everybody has talent. As a foster parent, I tutored our first child as he progressed through kindergarten and the first grade. His previous school experience was lacking at best, and he had little confidence in his scholastic ability. I was able to pinpoint his natural aptitude--mathematics--and use it to he
