Overview:

I am an experienced Musician and Teacher in Denver Colorado. I have been playing music for 15 years. Guitar is my primary instrument but also plays Piano/Keys, Bass, and I'm an audio engineer. I recently graduated with a music degree from CU Denver. I have been in multiple bands and currently write and performs electronic music in the Denver area, alongside a live drummer performing original compositions on Ableton Live, with improvisational guitar. I have taught a varierty of styles and students from ages 6-70 and can help you with whatever your music goals are!

EXPERIENCE

I have been playing music for 15 years, and teaching for the last 5. I started playing guitar when I was 9 and eventually went on to perform in a number of bands. I later when to college with music scholarships. I graduated CU Denver last year and have been teaching music and performing in the Denver area since. I am educated in a number of styles and have taught all ages and am confident I can help you with your music goals. Currently aside from teaching I devote my time to my band where I write and perform all original electronic music. I have performed all across the state including some plays at big festivals such as Sonic Bloom, and One Vibration.

METHODS USED

My methods change for each student, depending on ability and interest. For the most part I start with warm up exercises to get your fingers moving properly, then have a balance of going through instruction books and jamming and/or improvising in different styles, and slowly progress you and help with techniques to make you sound as clean as possible. I will help you be able to play whatever genre, or songs you like. As well as how to tap into creative flow and be able to improvise and write original music.

LESSON STYLE

I have been teaching music lessons for the past 10 years. I absolutely love it. I have taken students of all ages from knowing nothing to being able to play complicated pieces. It's amazing to see the progression. I can work with you on all aspects (theory, technique, scales, chords, etc.) for all styles of music, in a calm fun environment.

John Hammer

Our boys, both relative guitar novices, have truly enjoyed their experience with Vinny so far. He is quiet, kind and patient with them and, most importantly, they look forward to their lessons with him and don't mind practicing guitar. He does appear to have a plan to advance their skills while keeping things relatively fun.

Cynthia Hauxwell

Vinny is great with our daughter, who's only 5 and wanted to take piano lessons. He is very personable with her, and provides lots of positive feedback and encouragement when working with her. She loves when she gets to play songs with Vinny during lessons, playing her part while he plays alongside her. Vinny is a great musician and connected well with our daughter and our family - my husband is even going to sign up for guitar lessons with him soon. His schedule is flexible for what we needed, and he communicates well with all of us! He's terrific!
