While still in college, I was a music tutor at North Star in Hadley For two years. I worked one-on-one with students in middle school on both voice and guitar. During my time there, I taught kids anything from different chords on the guitar, to breath support and passion in one's singing, to vocal improvisation and stage confidence. I've been away from teaching for a couple of years, but with the a Capella group, I have to accommodate for twelve different people and their learning styles. Read More

I approach teaching on an individual level - what's important to me is why you want to learn to play music. Then I can help you get there. Some adults have very different goals and expectations for wanting to add music to their life, than say a school-age student. I have had students who wanted to be virtuosos, and some who merely wanted to experience playing favorite songs without learning reading and theory. Read More

I'm a passionate and laid-back instructor who loves sharing my knowledge with others and seeing students progress. In 2004, I graduated from Berklee College of Music as a guitar principal with Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Composition. Since then, I have been playing and teaching music full-time. I have played in various rock bands including my own original band, Kave Kraft, and as a sideman in various jazz combos, RB groups, and wedding/GB bands in the Boston area. Read More

I have recently started teaching in the last year on zoom and in person. A lot of my gigging and recording experience I have been able to incorporate in to my students lessons. I think one of the most important aspects of teaching music is how to learn. Every student learns differently. Knowing if they learn well by sheet music, by ear, or just working on technique. I enjoy teaching, putting students on the right track with what they want to learn, with the fundamentals of guitar in the beginning and that they enjoy it as well. Read More

Depending on the level of the student and what they are looking to achieve through the lessons I would use a few different methods. I like to use guitar books if at all possible for beginners because its a great place to start. The fundamentals are where you have to start to build a scaffolding and practice books are great for doing this. I also like to use songs and tunes as a way of teaching different concepts. Read More

I started gaining experience as a teacher over 5 years ago when I started teaching lessons to my freinds, some of who are now involved in musical projects of their own. I continued gaining experience in this field during college, where I would consistently meet with fellow students to instruct/tutor them outside of classes. I believe that through my experience I have been able to provide lessons that make learning both fun and interesting for the student. Read More
