Musical is one of my top subjects! Instrumental, Vocal and History

Interactive, Lecture, Structured, Laid Back. Whatever is necessary; nobody learns the same way.

Musical is one of my top subjects!

As the Director of Curriculum and Program Development as well as the lead instructor for two music schools, my background has seen me teaching about 70 students a week while implementing several programs that focus on the quality and administration of all academic programs in the school. These programs offer opportunities for students to focus on songwriting with a strong emphasis on theory and applied musical knowledge. The programs allow students to develop group etiquette, arranging skills, and an understanding of moderate to advanced level theory while learning about the studio experience. The experience as a Director combined with graduate study has allowed me to be involved in the development of instruction materials, level requirements, improvement in the school’s methods of composition teaching, teacher hiring, and the evaluation of fellow instructors. Understanding how ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Because I've worked with students who have various learning differences, I have a vast array of teaching strategies. What works for one child doesn't always work for another. I encourage auditory learners to always read the instructions back to me. It helps if they can explain the material as if they were teaching the subject. Visual learns tend to respond to charts, graphs, note-taking, powerpoint- anything containing shapes and color. Tactile learners have sensory needs. If at all possible, this type of learner should be given a "hands-on" task to help them assimilate the material. I believe that my patience and relaxed nature builds confidence and trust in each student. All children can be motivated to learn, because all children want to succeed in life.
As an educator, I have 10 years experience in public education for grades k-12. While my main focus has been in the field of S ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe that all children learn best when they experience success. Therefore, I make sure to give all my students opportunities to succeed by asking questions that challenge students to think but are not impossible to answer. My teaching style involves a combination of constructivism and direct instruction. Instead of lecturing, I pose questions, calling on students randomly. When I restate what is correct about a student's answer, my students understand that they have successfully contributed to the learning process. I point out any misconceptions that might arise before they do, so my students avoid making common mistakes. I supplement my lessons with visual representations and videos for visual learners, as well as hands-on, inquiry-based activities for tactile learners. I have extensive experience using technology in the classroom and have designed many interesting laborator ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe that every student should have a unique path, with no two students having the same path to musical fulfillment. Each student of mine has their lessons individually tailored to their needs. I will even write exercises for my students to emphasize a certain skill I wish them to possess. The foundation for musical production is an individual journey with two main aspects: dedication (practice) and musicianship (the love of music). The goal of private instruction is more than helping the student cultivate their skills on their chosen instrument - it is also to help the student's love of music grow so that this love will last a lifetime.
As a Trombonist with Conservatory training, I am able to privately instruct beginning to intermediate brass instrumentalists of all ages. I am also able to instruct my students in Music Theory, Fixed-Do Solfege, Music History, and Ear Training ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Having worked with a huge number of beginner and intermediate music students, I believe in getting to know the student and his or her aspirations, and then devising lessons to address the individual needs of that student. I also believe that discovery and exploration are great ways to keep students motivated to learn and practice. I am extremely patient, supportive and I try my best to motivate and inspire my students to exceed all their expectations.
As a recent graduate of Berklee College of Music, I have been teaching and performing music prolifically for the last 5 years. I have worked with 15-20 students weekly, as a Tutor at Berklee, helping them complete their coursework to the best of their abilities. I have also had significant experience working with children between 6 to 15 years of age as a Teachers' Assistant. I helped children understand their assignments, reviewed ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Although I believe in some degree of structure, I am very flexible in my teaching style. Every student is different - I work with each one individually to determine their goals and then develop an appropriate, unique program. Children learn best by actively participating in the material. I try to engage them as much as possible, whether it be with a lively discussion about music history, practicing and performing a piece of music until we are both satisfied with the result, or hearing and speaking French instead of simply memorizing the grammatical rules of the language.
Having just graduated last year (May, '09) from Tufts University with a Bachelor's degree in music, I have an extensive, solid knowledge of both music theory and music history. Also, as a piano player myself, I spent my last year at Tufts working with the Community Music Program, giving piano lessons to classes of ... read more

I worked also with Après la classe (“after classroom”) – 16, rue Commines BP 3003 75121 Paris Cedex 3 – as a tutor from November 1999 to January 2000 and had three pupils: a little girl of 6 years old; we did a lot of reading, a teenager of 13 years old (her sister); we repeated her History and a student of 20 years old that was studying to be a midwife and had bad marks in French literature: I tried to make her love to read but I think that today, I would do better: I would give her some “tricks” to succeed: how to read a text, what “turns” to look for, how to call them (those parts), what for, what do they support, and so on...
If a child, an adult or a teenager doesn't like you, it will be difficult (impossible?) to have him (her) learn from you. Unless you are very strong and I am "nice": I don't like to be rude. So I would need to be appreciated in order to teach. That is why ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have recently finished my Master's program in piano performance. I am an active teacher as well as a performer in the Boston area. Though primarily trained as a classical musician, I am a versatile pianist and have various experiences playing for and directing musical productions and cabaret concerts. I have also been studying voice for the past 6 years and have participated in numerous opera workshops and vocal ensembles. As an undergraduate at Wellesley College, I majored in art history and have extensive research, writing, and analytical skills. With my liberal arts and musical background, I feel confident in tutoring students in English, history, mathematics, physics and needless to say, the arts.
I think one of the most important qualities for a teacher is to have a radiant enthusiasm for the subject you are teaching. After all, how can you get the students excited to lear ... read more

I enjoy working with kids of all ages very much. As my summer job, I teach children from ages 4 to 21 how to play tennis. This has helped make me the person I am today in many ways. I am very patient and easy going and I am considerate of others as well. I am confident in my abilities and I think I would be a great fit for you as a teacher, friend, or mentor.
As a member of the Wellesley community and past student at St. Sebastians school, I have learned to achieve at an extremely high level of education. My teachers have showed me how to succeed in school and strive for the best. I have been extremely interested in Music and the arts for many years now. I would enjoy working with children as for I work very well with them.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is more along the lines of the Montessori system. Given the freedom and much direction from the tutor, the student will often "discover" the essence of the lesson. In discovering the essence of the lesson, the student will take ownership. In taking ownership, the student in turn will develop pride, self worth, and a thirst for more knowledge and more successes.
I have a passion for knowledge, and have tutored high school and college students in the area of History, reading, and writing composition. I love teaching, and watching the student progress and excel!

More About This Tutor...

I am an electric bass player with 20 years of experience. I have an AA in Sound Engineering, an AA in Digital Media and three years of full time enrollment at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. I have worked extensively as a product manager in the musical instrument industry developing basses, guitars, amplifiers, drum sets and related accessories leading to two patents under my name in the US Patent Office. Fully fluent in English as well as French I have been teaching bass playing and improvisation in the US and abroad for over 10 years.
My teaching style starts with designing a curriculum that not only matches aptitudes but also the goals of individual students. The ones that have professional aspirations simply should not be treated the same as the ones who just want to occasionally have fun with friends on the weekend for example. That being said, with all students I bel ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have been working with children as a baseball coach and softball umpire for over 25 years and often parents have told me that I must be a teacher as I worked so well with children. Five years ago I decided to change careers from management and go into education. I went back to school and completed a masters program in elementary education with a 3.8 G.P.A. I am certified to teach in Massachusetts and I will receive my Virginia license in a couple of weeks as I have just relocated
I believe that all children in this country have a right to a world class education. I also believe that education is a partnership between the teachers, parents and students but, understand that due to economic and social conditions not all parents are as active in their child education. I have tutored children in Reading and Math and I have often been told that I try to make learning as easy as possibl ... read more
