About Terre

My teaching approach: I'm a member of the singing group The Roches. If you'd like to study with me, you might go to (concealed information) to learn about the music I'm known for unless you are already familiar with it. I have many students on different paths. I'm very open to teaching different skills. I accept total beginners, but you will have to apply yourself. Plus have fun! My guitar lessons take place in: The teacher's studio Guitar Techniques: Guidance In Equipment Selection, Song Writing, Scales and Exercises, Music Theory, Reading Music, Jamming Skills, Performance, Vocal Accompaniment, Slide Guitar, Fingerstyle, Open tuning, Lead guitar, Rhythm guitar.

I began teaching 20 years ago at The Guitar Studies Center at The New School University here in New York City. At the time I was still active performing with my group The Roches.

I had a successful career as part of a singing group, The Roches for many years. I've had many wonderful teachers of music. I'm kind of a wellspring of musical information at this point. If I can't help a person with what their goals are I can usually recommend someone who can. And I'm happy to do that. It's very important to find the right fit between teacher and student.

About the lesson

Each student is different. I have a very diverse group of students. I've played guitar for many years and studied with lots of great teachers (and some not so great ones.) My approach is to zero in on the student's wishes, needs and abilities in the beginning and design a course of study that will hold the person's interest. If you aren't interested you won't practice. And if you don't practice it's not fun. Music has to be fun!

I'm best with people who are playing music for fun. I don't think I'm the best person to teach someone with aspirations to become a professional musician. I've had a lot of experience with the music business and I can't in conscience recommend it to someone as a way of making a living. I'm best with adult students. I don't do well with anyone who's been spoiled and told they're great. I am very good with people who are looking to gain confidence in themselves by playing music.

I'd say go for a lesson with someone you find yourself interested in. Both you and the teacher can tell if you're a good fit. If you are, you can proceed from there.

Last week I was asked to perform at Vaclav Havel Day at the Bohemian National Hall. This was a very dignified event celebrating the life of a true artist and hero. The audience was wonderful to perform for. At this stage in my life I try to limit my performing experiences to ones that will be uplifting for both me and the audience. You can't always control that, but you don't have to put yourself in situations that will be humiliating.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
How much practice time do you have? Realistically that is.
There's no point in spending your hard earned money on music lessons if you have no time to practice. You should practice everyday, even if it's not for a long time period. That's much better than waiting till day before your lesson and practicing for 2 hours. Having said that, I'm aware that here in the heart of New York City we are all over-extended. I have some students who come for their lesson and we practice together. I am endlessly patient with students unless they are disrespectful to me and the music. In that case I've been known to fire them. :-)
