Private Music Lessons in Somerville, MA

Hi, my name is Julianne. I am so excited to be working with you, and I congratulate you on your first steps to becoming a music student! I have my degree in Fine Arts in Music, and I have been performing since I was 5 years old. I teach all level voice lessons and beginner-intermediate piano lessons. I offer virtual lessons, lessons in your home, or lessons in my home studio! I offer 30 minute, 45 minute, or 1 hour weekly lessons for the same rate each month that never changes. I also offer toddler group music lessons and music theory lessons. I cater my teaching style to your needs and preferences! I will look forward to chatting through options with you and getting to know you. Reach out with your interests and questions, and again enjoy taking your first steps to become one of my music students!

My mission is to help you learn guitar. My lessons are drawn from 600+ free online lessons that I've created at Hub Guitar. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone else who takes teaching guitar more seriously, or who makes it more fun! I enjoy meeting wonderful people from all different places, and helping them connect with music that holds meaning to them, and discover a lifetime of truly enjoying music on a deep level.

We come to you for private music lessons! All levels welcomed- we provide personalized instruction, whether you (or your child) are just starting out, working on an audition or competition piece, or just need some extra reinforcement of previously learned skills. Imagine a well qualified instructor coming to your home at a time that is convenient for you and your family. The teacher will provide personalized, one-on-one instruction developed specifically for your child. As your child is participating in their music lesson, you are free! You can prepare dinner, help another kid with their homework, finish up work tasks, catch up with friends and family over the phone - anything else but wait in a studio for the lesson to be finished. At the very least, this saves at least an hour a week of your time - in drive time alone! Our teachers are highly qualified- they have music degrees or equivalent work experience, pass background checks, and each have made it through an audition screening process. Our goal is to promote a positive learning environment that encourages your child to shine. We don’t hire just anyone! We make sure our instructors understand music theory and have performance experience- our teachers are talented musicians that want to share their knowledge. *Please note, both male and female teachers may be available depending on location and the teacher’s availability. Specific gender or age requests are not guaranteed. Lessons are taught in English.

Hey there! I'm a Boston-based drummer, producer/electronic musician, & music educator and have just about 20 years experience professionally performing & teaching music to all ages. Additionally, I was the recipient of the "Outstanding Youth Advocate Award" from Berklee College of Music's Community Outreach Dept. for teaching at the West End House Boys & Girls Club (Allston, MA). I've also taught at Indian Hill Music School (Littleton, MA, now Groton Hill Music Center in Groton, MA), Boston Public Schools' Counseling & Intervention Center (Roslindale, MA), the Mary Lyon Pilot High School (Brighton, MA), Somerville Public Schools (Somerville, MA), & have been teaching at the Boys+Girls Clubs in Leominster and Gardner (MA) since 2022. I've also given music production workshops at A3E, an international music production conference at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, MA as well as at music production schools in Istanbul, Turkey (Bilgi University & Galatasaray ITM) an electronic music festival in Guatemala (Cosmic Convergence), and in Wellington, New Zealand (at the Pyramid Club). I primarily do lessons via Google Meet & Microsoft Teams these days (with people from all around the country/world) which have been successful and effective - I've had students win multiple awards of excellent musicianship, & get accepted to Berklee (both as undergrad students as well as scholarships for summer programs). I graduated Berklee with Cum Laude honors and with a dual degree - Drum Performance and Electronic Production & Design. In addition to teaching, I have been frequently performing with bands around the U.S. and internationally. I've performed with internationally acclaimed artists including Nona Hendryx, Simon Shaheen, Richard Devine, Cappadonna (of Wu Tang Clan), Jim Belushi, & Juno Reactor. I've also performed in 11 countries over the past decade - USA, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Guatemala, Colombia, Ghana, Turkey, New Zealand, Poland, Greece, and will be performing at a festival in Hungary next month. I do my best to be a caring & thoughtful teacher, finding great joy out of seeing (and hearing) students build musical skills and sharing my knowledge with others. Each student is given a custom lesson plan to help maximize lessons and to help each student be the best musician he/she/they can be! Whether it be drum lessons, music production lessons, and/or music theory lessons, I strive to bring true professionalism and passion to each and every lesson/session!
