About Ileen Zovluck - Guitarist and Teacher in Teaneck, NJ

ishing to do more for the community, I began teaching music and the humanities at the college level. I have been a professional musician for over 40 years, beginning in the 1970s when I performed around the US and Canada. I have been recognized for my various accomplishments by being included in Who's Who in American Women and Who's Who in Education in America, as well as International Who's Who in Music. My educational background includes Wittenberg University, where I studied conducting and orchestration, New York University for humanities, and the Mannes College of Music, where I received my Master of Music in classical performance and theory. During my time in Manhattan, I worked as an annotator, analyst, and critic for major arts agencies, technical journals, and CD labels. In 2010, I decided to move back to Bergen County where I was born and give back to the community by teaching music and the humanities at the college level. I have been able to draw on my extensive experience as a classical touring musician and my graduate library studies at the Juilliard School to inform my teaching. I am proud of the career I have built for myself and am delighted to be able to share my knowledge with the next generation of musicians.

LESSON STYLE

I first taught guitar at the unlikely age of ten. To my surprise, my first student became very proficient very quickly and still plays today. The idea that anyone has the potential to do something well really sold me on teaching. There are standard ways to learn this instrument, but when a reliable method falls short, it's up to a qualified teacher to get their students to achieve their goals. The guitar has a poor reputation as a serious instrument, when it fact it is quite difficult, even physically un-natural to play. Bad habits can not only set you back, but take a great deal of time and effort to un-do, and can even cause physical pain or damage. I can't understate the importance of selecting a guitar teacher who has extensive experience with physical technique, and how it can free the guitarist from sluggish learning, frustration and most musical limits in their playing.
