I am a composer, pianist, guitarist, and singer. In 2016, I graduated from The Peabody Conservatory of The Johns Hopkins University with a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Music Composition. Prior to this, I obtained a Master of Music degree from Peabody in 2007, and a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Arkansas in 2004. I have had performances of my music in Baltimore, New York, Seattle, Cincinnati, and Fayetteville, AR. Read More

My name is Joseph G. Jr. I graduated from Towson University in 2007 with a Bachelor of science degree in music. I play classical guitar and I am an avid composer too. I am very good at music theory and am very creative. I have been teaching guitar for 16 years. I like to write music for myself to play on the guitar, but I also like to write for other instruments.

I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music and Jazz can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then I'm not doing my job! My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I love playing guitar and strive to share the passion with others. I have been performing since I began playing guitar 12 years ago. In 2012, I began my studies at Oberlin Conservatory music as a Jazz Guitar Performance major. I graduated in 2017, with a B.M. in Jazz Guitar Performance and a B.A. in Political Science. My experience has granted me the opportunity of performing many styles of music in a variety of ensembles. Read More

I sincerely believe that even the most basic material can be made to "sound good", and I stress this from the beginning. I'm big on playing duets. I'll tend to toss in tidbits about the physics of sound, or how muscle memory works. I like to engage the curiousity of the student in this way. I like to ask students about what music they like, and what they would like to do--play in a school talent show? Read More
Instruments: Guitar
I love playing guitar and YOU will too! The guitar is a fantastic instrument and is so much fun to play. I incorporate musical fun into my lesson as much as I can because I want students to learn how to "play" music not "work" music. I have learned from many great musicians that music is driven by passion and should be enjoyable to the performer and this is felt by the audience. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I believe the most valuable thing that I have learned from teaching music is that you can actually practice "practicing." The way you practice is the way you perform, so I stress during my lessons that one should be playing the same way one will practice alone. A lot of the kids I teach really like to play fast, but I emphasize over and over that playing fast is not nearly as important as playing correctly. Any of my students would attest that I am constantly fixing their posture and technique. I also love to emphasize that you don't always need your instrument to be able to practice it. One can get a lot of valuable practice in just by playing drum patterns on one's lap or figuring out flute runs with a pencil!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Sign up for a trial! It can't hurt. I have taught some really young kids, the youngest of the bunch being 4 and 5 year-olds; Sometimes they aren't even psychically big enough to sit behind a drum set or hold a guitar. Whether or not they are ready - I have discovered that it really depends on the child. At School of Rock, we have some tiny kids who can absolutely shred on their instrument and are way ahead of the curve, but I have also had a four-year-old in lessons who I just couldn't get to listen to me and only wanted to bang on drums without learning anything. The important thing is that the teacher (me) and the parent (you) are communicating honestly. I don't want to waste anybody's time or money!
When will I start to see results?
If you are a true beginner, I guarantee you will see results by the end of the trial lesson. The reason such a high percentage of my trials sign up for lessons is because I am very good at helping my students to realize any and all accomplishments they have made. By the end of my trial, the student should be able to play a basic rock beat, and it always fills me with joy to see the excitement that comes with learning this - any age. I am teaching some kids who are brand new to the instrument, have only had three or four lessons, and can already play through a whole song.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing to master on any instrument is true, uninhibited creative expression. To be able to have an idea and express it through music the same way you would through language. When I jam with other musicians, we are constantly picking up on each other's ideas and if nobody's ego gets in the way we create a time and space that is a true combination of everyone's energy. That being said, there are always very technical things that one can learn on an instrument to achieve mastery. One of the ways I have been attempting to master drums is by listening to songs with challenging parts, figuring them out, notating them, and then learning the whole thing. It is no easy task!
