Musician, Educator and Clinician Joins TakeLessons Teacher Roster

Online, January 6, 2012 (Newswire.com) - TakeLessons, (http://takelessons.com) the nation's fastest growing private music lessons provider, is excited to announce a boost to its teacher roster in New York City.

Shirazette T. will teach drums, music performance, music theory, percussion and songwriting to students of all ages, and is expected to be an excellent addition to the TakeLessons program.

After receiving her Bachelor's degree in Music and her Master's degree in Jazz Pedagogy, she continued on to perform around the Chicago area as well as tour internationally. In addition to teaching, Shirazette has taught as a professor at Columbia College Chicago, has published articles for Modern Drummer and Tom Tom Magazine, and recently signed with a record label to release an album in 2012.

"My style of teaching is very flexible but demanding," said new teacher Shirazette. "I expect nothing but positive motion from my students."

All TakeLessons instructors complete a 7-step certification process to ensure students receive lessons from safe, experienced and friendly instructors. TakeLessons has created jobs for certified teachers in over 2,800 cities. After a 7-step interview and certification process, instructors have access to internal marketing efforts, an online account to track their income and schedules, and a large support staff to help them throughout the process. Teachers then have more time to spend on lesson plans, rather than the business transactions and paperwork.

"It will depend on you as the student as for what you want to learn after 3 to 6 month of studying. I will create a curriculum based off of your age group, level and goals, and we will go from there!" said Shirazette.

Since its launch in 2006, TakeLessons has helped students pursue their passion for music by offering over 35 types of private music lessons that are taught by some of the nation's most talented local music instructors.

The addition of TakeLessons music teachers in the New York City and nearby cities such as Brooklyn, Astoria and Bronx builds upon TakeLessons' emerging presence throughout the state of New York. TakeLessons offers private music lessons to thousands of students in over 2,800 cities across the United States.
