About
Hi,
My name is Anjali. I am an experienced music teacher in guitar, piano, voice, and music mixing. I have mostly taught beginner classes in all three instruments but am open to teaching intermediate classes. For the past year I was foucsing on touring and playing music gigs around Europe and the USA and am happy to share my experiences as an indie artist though I am still young and learning the craft of this career. I love mixing and recording as well and am happy to share what I know about sound production.
I am from central New Jersey originally and have moved to Brooklyn before the outbreak of COVID-19. Before this I went to college at Smith College in Western Massachusetts and then taught english in Spain for a year.
I have taught lessons to students between the ages of 5 - 14 at Tom Kopyto Music School in Western Massachusetts. I have also taught adult beginner lessons in guitar. For three or four summers I taught music lessons to students in "girls rock", rock camps for girls in London Ontario and Goshen Massachusetts.
B.A. from Smith College
- took classes in music theory, composition, electronic music and recording
I like to listen to how the students responds and learns best an adapt my teaching style to them. Some students learn much better through "play", such as learning how to improvise and messing around on the instruments. Other students are more systematic and learn well through sight reading, learning the structure of the theory and applying it to the songs, other students almost exclusively learn through songs they know and want to learn. My hope is to include elements of all learning styles so my students get a nice grasp of the instrument they want to learn.
