Philadelphia Jazz Pro Joins TakeLessons Music Teacher Roster

Online, December 13, 2011 (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 Philadelphia, PA.

Joshua N. will teach guitar, bass guitar, music theory and upright bass to students of all ages, and is expected to be an excellent addition to the TakeLessons program.

With a Bachelor's degree in Jazz Performance, a minor in Music Education, and his Master's degree in Jazz studies, Joshua's expertise will make him the perfect match for students looking to play like a professional. Joshua is active in the Philadelphia music scene, performing at numerous jazz venues such as Chris's Jazz Cafe, as well as with original rock band The Sobriquets, heavy metal act Negation Delirium, and world music group Rosemary Ostrowski and the Third Way.

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.

"[Your] lessons can be about learning songs, theory behind the music, or anything else you may want," said new teacher Joshua. "After a few months, you can expect to know the notes on the fingerboard, simple and intermediate chords, the mechanics of music, and a few songs."

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 Philadelphia and nearby cities such as Prospect Park, Brookhaven and Jenkintown builds upon TakeLessons' emerging presence throughout the state of Pennsylvania. TakeLessons offers private music lessons to thousands of students in over 2,800 cities across the United States.
