Dear Potential Student,

My name is John, and I am a certified music teacher in the state of New York. I have an MA in Music Education as well as a BA in Music from Hunter College. I am a percussionist who can play and understand different styles and genres of music. I am well-versed in many styles. I've played in punk rock bands, marched in a professional marching band, played timpani in an orchestra, and have freelanced as a composer. I've written string quartets, piano pieces, percussion ensembles, and vocal works.

I believe music should be fun, and the few that can understand the ins and outs of music, have a better experience listening to music.

Composition (Music)

I am a qualified tutor in composition because I have been composing different styles of music for a long time now. I have a few different compositions published - one solo piano piece, and two percussion pieces.

I compose with different computer programs while utilizing conventional methods learned in the classroom. Some programs I use and are familiar with are Digidesign Pro Tools LE 8, and Sibelius 7, all on a Macintosh iMac. However, nothing beats the good old staff paper, pencil... Read More

Ear Training

Everybody has experience in ear training and sight singing. You turn on the radio, iPod, record player, 8-Track, and you sing a long to a song. What you are doing is hearing, recognizing and playing back music. With a little more practice and understanding of chord recognition and intervals as well as rhythm, you can step up your game and be able to sing and tap with a little more enjoyment.

I've had at least two great ear training and sight singing teachers who have taught me wonderful... Read More

General Music

I have a Master's degree in Music Education from Hunter College, with an equal focus on instrumental, vocal, and general music for grades K-12. I am a certified NY State teacher for Music K-12. I am a percussionist, and I play piano. In my student teaching experiences, I successfully taught for 6 weeks each in an elementary school and a high school, and I have a years experience observing and helping in music classes for grades 6-12.

Music History

Bach, Beethoven, Stravinsky, Cage, Monteverdi, Chopin, Mozart, Schoenberg...

Where did the music come from and where is it going? That is the true question.

Being an undergraduate student, Music History has been a huge part of all my courses. Yes, I've had to take Music History I-IV, but even in my music theory classes, we've discussed particular styles and when they were historically popular or how these styles developed over time.

There are common themes within... Read More

Piano

As a certified music teacher, we are required to learn to play piano, and maintain an intermediate level of proficiency. I hold a Master's degree in Music Education from Hunter College, and I am also a composer, in which my piano skills are an aid for my compositions.

Drums

I have been a drummer since I was born, but didn't pick up a pair drumsticks until 5th grade. Since then, I have developed many different styles of drumming that range from orchestral, chamber music settings, accompaniment with choral groups, marching bands, jazz, punk rock (my milieu), and the notoriously difficult style of John Cage.

I have been involved with a professional marching band for 10 years now as the snare drummer and have been in a rock band for 6 years now. Those would... Read More
