Find a Guitar Music Teacher

Levels Taught:
ALL (Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced)

More Information:

Hello! My name is Alyssa Becker. I completed my degree in music performance at Keene State College in 2022. I have been teaching for three years, and I strive to bring a young, fresh perspective to those who would like to learn how to play the guitar or learn how to sing.

Voice: During my college years, I studied under many prominent vocal pedagogues such as Dr. Matthew Leese, Dr. Evangelina Leontis, and Dr. Daniel Carberg; I also had the great privilege of completing an extensive vocal pedagogy course at KSC. I recorded my first album of soprano and piano art songs, “Love and Thought,” in October of 2021. As a classically trained soprano, I prioritize learning and teaching foundational vocal techniques, including breath support, phonation, resonance, diction, and the release of tension. Your voice is unique and organic. I can’t wait to help you unlock this special instrument!

Guitar: I have studied classical guitar with Dr. Jose Lezcano and Professor Ted Mann for over six years. In the 2020-2021 academic year, the KSC music faculty selected me for the “Instrumentalist of the Year” award, and I was honored to be the recipient of the Redfern Music Department Scholarship and the Talent Scholarship. I have studied the works of classical composers such as Brouwer, Narvaez, Milan, Sor, Tarrega, Barrios, Piazzolla, Albeniz, Villla-Lobos, and others. I primarily enjoy teaching classical guitar, but I am also available to teach acoustic guitar as well.

Method Books Used:

• Acoustic Guitar: Hal Leonard Guitar Method
• Classical Guitar: Christopher Parkening Method, interspersed with other technique books and exercises
• Voice: I use my own curriculum that I specialize for each unique student, including breathing exercises, vocal techniques, vocal exercises, and stretching. This of course is combined with pieces that the student and I will choose together.

Recommended Accessories:

• for Acoustic Guitar: Guitar Pick
• for Classical Guitar: Foot Stool or Egroplay (to support guitar)
• for Voice: Water Bottle

More Information:

I am David Nacmanie, world traveler, musician and teacher. I've taught music in NYC, the Washington D.C. area, Samoa, Germany, and Japan! In all of my musical ventures, having fun is the most important aspect. With that in mind I tailor each lesson to the desires of the student. Some students work best through books like Breeze Easy while others learn best through playing songs they hear on the radio or on video games.

Music lessons are not just for kids. I've taught several students who are adults.

Depending on your current performance level, instrument and learning style we will choose a set of music which works best for you.

The best lessons are the ones that you can listen to over and over again. I recommend bringing a recording device to your lesson so you can review what was covered.
