"Every week or so, a student of mine can play a new song."
Tony Juliano has been teaching since his college days.
He received a Bachelor of Science in Education, from Temple University,
and a Pennsylvania State Teaching Certification. For years, he taught
in public and private schools, in many different subject areas.
Tony worked in pioneering projects, such as Miquon School,
Settlement Music School, and The Communications Experience Project.
He also studied privately with one of Philadelphia's premier voice instructors
to the stars, the late, great Harold Singer.
Currently, TJ gives private instruction in guitar, voice, songwriting,
and a course for small groups, simply called ...
Playing In A Band.

Beginners, starting at 8 years old, are the people
Tony Juliano enjoys working with the most.
"I feel like beginners are the most open-minded," he says.
"Turning them on to new world's of musical experience
is very fullfilling to me. I feel like I'm having
an extremely positive effect on peoples' lives."
John Goetz sings and plays traditional songs.
With his many years in the music business - including his work
as a Sesame Street composer - Tony Juliano brings a lot
to the table, when it comes to teaching.
Some of his students are still working with him
after almost 10 years.
Apparently, they feel like they're getting a lot out of lessons with
Tony.
A few students have even had their original songs recorded,
in a professional studio, and have made great albums.
"But, most people just want to have fun, and make music
for themselves, their friends and families,"
Tony concludes. "I always keep that in mind.
I love teaching, and I don't plan on stopping any time soon."
