Hello! My Name is Salvatore! I am a multi-instrumentalist songsmith with a passion for live performance. I have been taking private music lessons since age 8 and graduated from Berklee College of Music in May 2011. I have always worked as a musician whether its been teaching, playing in theater pit bands, playing in clubs, or making tracks for T.V.

I've been playing guitar for most of my life. I started playing at age ten and teaching privately at fourteen. In 2004 I was accepted to Berklee College of Music on a scholarship and while there I became well-versed in a wide variety of guitar playing styles, including Jazz, Blues, Pop, Rock, and Metal.

I earned my music degree at the acclaimed Berklee College of Music with a degree in guitar performance and I'm currently getting my Master's in guitar performance from Belmont University.

I graduated from Middle Tennessee State University.
I have studied many types of singing and education.
My favorite singing styles include: musical theatre, commercial, and opera.

I love playing the drums.
I love teaching punk, pop, auxiliary percussion, contemporary, and hip hop.

I plan on getting my Master's Degree in Performance and Choreography.
Other hobbies include:
building bikes, skateboarding, drawing, getting tattooed, and hanging out with friends.

I am a Nashville session musician, sideman and music teacher. I received a Bachelor of Music degree in Commercial Music with a Composition and Arranging Emphasis from Belmont University and I am currently pursuing a Masters in Music at MTSU. Coming from a family of Classical and Jazz musicians, I have been exposed to music my whole life. Over the years I have had the opportunity to play and record with many great bands and artists ranging from Country/Bluegrass to Rock to Jazz. I teach all genres of guitar, bass, banjo ukulele and mandolin.

Growing up in the foothills region of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, Brian played music alongside his cousin Andy and his grandfather Paul Birchfield, better known as “Grampsy.” With Brian on fiddle, Andy on mandolin, and Grampsy on guitar, people knew to call "The Mountain Musicians" if they were in need of some good ole time toe-tappin’ music. Brian developed these musical roots deep in the Appalachian soil and now shares his talents with audiences on some of the most impressive stages a musician could hope to play.

Brian grew up in Marion, North Carolina. Under the guidance of Grampsy, Brian competed at fiddlers conventions throughout the Southeast. He first won the top title in a competition while participating in a contest in Mooresville, North Carolina and went on to earn additional titles of public recognition, including the Fiddler of the Festival at Union Grove and later the three-time Georgia Mountain Fiddle King in Hiawassee....

Cameron is a musician, teacher, and worship leader. He recently moved from Anaheim, CA 9 years ago to achieve a Bachelors Degree in Commercial Music at Belmont University and now resides in Nashville, TN.

Since 2004 I have gigged, recorded, and wrote/ co-wrote music in Nashville, TN. When I graduated in 2008 I went on the road for a couple years with an artist named Dave Hunt when I returned from the road I wasn't quite sure what to do next. I decided that I might enjoy teaching so for the 4 years i have taught around 30-35 students a week and also teach high school music history and music theory. I simply use the college curriculum that I received and fine tune it for students from all levels of playing (basically like getting a college music lesson for much, much cheaper!)

"I have a passion and love for finding the best way to teach a new musical idea/technique/song, I am bold and will use the best way to teach you, based on your learning style."

Hello,

Steve here. For years, as a professional guitar player and session player based out of Nashville, I’ve been on the road in
the bands of major country artists (see attached Bio). I’m currently staying pretty busy performing with Flying Island Entertainments Gwen Sebastian, from the hit TV Show "The Voice", & MCA country recording artist, David Lee Murphy, as well as playing with Hell's Bell's—the Number 1 AC/DC Tribute Band in the Nation.

However, I’m also a songwriter & Guitar/Mandolin/Bass Instructor. Since I play & teach in so many styles, I have written songs in many
genres, including country, folk, Americana, western swing, and even metal.

Short Bio:

Steve P. grew up in Renfro Valley, Kentucky. He’s largely a self-taught guitarist and did a pretty darn good job of it! However
for a bit more polishing, he took on Hollywood and graduated from Musicians Institute there.

He’s played with, or shared the stage with, many national...

Hello, my name is Bryan J. I am a graduate of GIT at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California. I was privileged to have studied with the best musicians in the world, some well known and some are not, however, you don't have to be world-famous to be a great musician. I have twenty years of playing, touring, recording, and teaching experience and I have seen how life-changing music can be. I simply use my experience in a practical way to work for my students to achieve their goals and get where they want to go without the pressure or stress of trying to please someone else, including me. This is for you. If you are inspired and love to play, practicing is never an issue. Becoming passionate about your studies is key to your success. That's what I am here to help you with.
