Atelier

Atelier is the premier collective for discerning musicians who love to practice their craft, and to perform. Under my music direction, musicians in Atelier are guided and challenged in the rehearsal room, and on the stages of New York City. Atelier provides music instruction and other assets in a band setting. Guidance is given to the group as a whole, as opposed to the individual. After about two months of weekly rehearsals, the band will perform in at least one New York City club. Click here to schedule a free strategy session, and reserve the spot in an Atelier project that’s best for you.

Personal Statement on Individual Lessons

I teach every private student differently according to his or her own level, interests, and age. This allows each student to emerge in their own right as a musician. It has been my experience, both as a teacher and as a student, that information tends to be better retained as soon as it is necessary to actually make music. In this way, students can play the music they want to play as quickly as possible, while using each new piece of music as an etude for a new basic concept or technique which is vital to their own personal development. Eventually, each student will come to know all of the basics through exploring their own interests, and at their own pace. In this approach, abstract concepts are reinforced through playing, and playing is facilitated by greater knowledge. Most importantly, this approach retains the fun of learning, since each student’s goals move as close to them as possible. If you’d like a deeper understanding of the guitar, a greater proficiency with playing it, or if you’d simply like to start yourself (or someone you love) off on a secure path greatest efficiency, let’s discuss your needs. I’ll explain how I can help you along your individual path.

“Dr. Millioto deserves the highest commendation.”

“As a music educator (18 years in NYC public schools) I was very impressed with Tom’s completely musical, organic approach to teaching. His methodical approach to guitar has vastly improved my musical ear, my musicianship & my teaching.”

Michela E.

“It is unusual to have a teacher who truly knows how to teach.”

“I am thankful that we have Tom for guitar lessons. The gains that our son has made, and Tom’s mentoring, have made a great difference in other areas of our son’s life.”

June S., Ph.D.

 

“You changed my life.”

“I have just been notified that I was accepted into the Music Department and the Sound Recording Technology program at SUNY Fredonia. When I started taking guitar lessons with you, I actually thought that I would never be able to pass the audition, which would be held only three months later. However, you turned impossible into possible. You changed my life.”

Tom Y.

“His knowledge and love of music have been an incredible inspiration to my son.”

“Thomas is a talented teacher and musician, capable of explaining the most complicated music theory or technique with patience and good humor. He is very tuned in to his student’s strengths, weaknesses, and ambitions, and he tailors their lessons to their individual needs.”

“One of the coolest releases of 2022, Kin Ya See That Sun brings together 15 previously unreleased live and studio tracks by two of the three singing Roche sisters, Terre and Maggie, who were a performing folk duo dating back to their teen years before sister Suzzy Roche joined them and they put out their still-astonishing, Robert Fripp–produced 1979 debut album, The Roches.”
