I do not posses large amounts of formal teaching experience, but everyone has to start somewhere, right? I have taught a few friends a handful of basic concepts on guitar, as well as some basic theory knowledge. I have had experience trying to teach younger children (under 10), and have found that most children that age have a hard time grasping theory concepts, as it involves counting in cycles and can become confusing for them.

The lesson concludes with an assignment. What will they focus on until next time. My students do exceptionally well! I give them a few items or techniques to practice. This could be tempo, theory, or a new piece of music to learn. Every session has a period of learning new music and practicing old music. My style of teaching is performance oriented to help the student to play the music that they desire to be able to play. Read More

Every student is different, so the first thing I like to do is get to know them as a musician, where they are on their instrument, and what they wish to accomplish in lessons. I want to keep the student comfortable with what they are working on and at the same time find ways to go beyond the comfort zone. I like to incorporate music fundamentals with all of my students, including notation, scales, chords, and rhythms. Read More

Hello folks, my name is Andy. I am a 23-year-old musician with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Framingham State University. I am predominantly a bass guitarist, with an affinity towards jazz, psychedelic rock, alternative, metal, prog, and sometimes just straight up pop. I greatly enjoy working with younger musicians and spreading the practice of musical exploration. I'm happy to work with musicians of all ages and levels of experience, with the intent of helping students develop the skills they'll need to meet their individual goals. Read More

I have been teaching guitar since my college days where I taught students from total beginners to intermediate students who wanted to progress in a way they had felt unable to do on their own. I took a break a few years ago and worked an office job, but I am now back to doing what I love - teaching music to students who are excited about learning their favorite songs and riffs, playing with a band, or writing their own tunes!

I encourage them to find time to practice where ever or whenever they can. If you practice then you will improve, if you are improving then you will become even more motivated to practice. So I take a more encouraging and positive approach to teaching students. I'm very patient in the lessons themselves and I focus a lot on making sure students are capable of continuing to learn when they are at home, which the online classroom really helps a lot with also.
