STUDYING WITH ME:

Learning guitar should be interesting and fun! While we're studying all the different aspects of the instrument, you'll also be learning how to play your favorite songs! I approach each student as an individual and structure their lessons according to what I determine they need, as well as what they are interested in musically. I concentrate on many different areas; ear training, theory, playing technique, improvisation, various styles of music, and, the physics of the guitar. Understanding how the instrument works is important in my opinion. My long term goal is to teach a student how they can teach themselves down the line. Understanding why you’re playing something is just important as knowing how to play it. I aim to give a student rich and well rounded one-on-one time!

Singing and playing piano have always been a huge part of my life. I love to perform everything from opera and sacred music to music theater and jazz, and have been performing since I was very young. I earned my Bachelor’s of Music in Vocal performance DePaul University School of Music in Chicago. It was there that I fell in love with teaching, when I taught my first student as part of a course in vocal pedagogy.

Vocal technique was not something that came easy for me, and was something I had to really work on. This work on technique has made me a stronger teacher.

Hello there!
My name is Colin. I'm here to suit your musical education needs! Some information about my own musical background may help you understand why I am the best teacher to suit your personal style.
I'm currently 22 and have completed a Bachelors of Science in Music and Sound Recording from the University of New Haven. My primary musical focus at school was Voice, as well as songwriting. My vocal coach during school very much fostered my own unique singing style highlighting more contemporary genres of music. (Pop and Rock) She, as well as my guitar teacher, both focused on my own personal goals with music, rather than radiating their own agenda onto me. I have had several teachers in the past try to force me to sing "classically," even though that's not what I wanted to do. This has been my main influence as a music teacher, and music theory tutor, to provide a tailored curriculum to each individual's exclusive goals. As far as my own music career is concerned, I have...
