I am a guitarist from Mansfield, MA who grew up in a completely non-musical household, and, for one reason or another, always had an affinity for music. After failing monumentally at piano lessons in the second grade, it took several years before I made the decision to pick up a guitar for the first time. As it turned out, learning the instrument was the best possible thing that could have happened to me, and it became an important asset in almost every activity in which I participated. My hard work ultimately paid off, and by the time I graduated high school, it was clear to me that I had made the right choice in seeking to pursue music as a career.
Now in my final semester at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Ma, I have had countless opportunities to be active in all areas of my trade. In my time at school, my knowledge of both my instrument, and music in general has expanded with every new endeavor. I have gained valuable experience playing live music all over the...

I am a graduate of the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I have a wide-ranging experience in the music world, playing a variety of styles and a variety of orchestrations. In 2007 i was lucky enough to join Wynton Marsalis at Avery Fischer Hall in New York. Two years later, I had the honor of playing drums behind Dave Brubeck and saxophonist Grace Kelly at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. I strive to not only assist musicians in expanding their technique and vocabulary, but also to encourage musicians in accessing their creativity and spirituality. Music is an incredible tool through which we can achieve amazing things, and through the practices of improvisation, ear training, and musical internalization, we can achieve so much more.

My name is Jarrod V. I am a graduate of the University of Rhode Island Music Program. I currently teach music in Jamestown, RI. I also manage and play saxophone in a six-piece funk/reggae band that tours the north-east. We were recently recognized as "Band Of The Year" in Southern New England. I have performed on stage with members of the Grateful Deal and the Allman Brothers. I have also opened for acts such as P-Funk, Buddy Guy, the Violent Femmes, Johnny Winter and the Spin Doctors.
If you are looking to master your instrument and learn how to perform on stage, I am the right teacher for you! I feel I have a great deal of enthusiasm and knowledge to offer to my students, and if given the opportunity, I will make a great musician out of you!

Hi, I'm Jackson. I have been playing guitar for about 8 years and I have been a student in the UMass Lowell music program for two years (and counting). I have also done a large amount of solo and group performing, arranging, and composition. What I offer students is patience, a willingness to conform to your needs, and great enthusiasm and passion for the guitar and music theory. With my ear training experience I can pick up songs by ear and help you learn them, just ask! I very much look forward to passing my passion and knowledge for music on to you.

I've been playing the guitar for twenty-six years now, and I've been working as a guitar teacher for the last twenty years. I've been making a living as a guitar teacher in the Boston area for fourteen years now, and I teach in two locations - Brighton and Dedham. Prior to that I also taught at Guitar Attention Center in Springfield, Ohio while I was in college, where I graduated with honors at Wright State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Mass Communications.
I've also played in a variety of original and cover bands, and have written a number of songs of my own. I'm working on recording these as instrumentals in my home studio.
I also play in a rock cover band called Element 78. We play out every weekend, and even on some Sundays. The singer and I have also started doing some acoustic shows on Sundays and Thursdays as well.

I fell in love with music at an early age; my mother taught piano in our home, my brother became an acclaimed concert pianist and I followed along but was more drawn to popular music. I am excited to work with students of all ages and levels, and am here to help you unlock your musical potential whether for performance, or composition. I'm devoted to passing on the joy of music-making to students of any age.
I have played keyboards and at times bass with five different Canadian touring bands over 10 years, and have taught youths to adults off and on every since.

George has been playing guitar and bass since 1994, teaching since 1999. He has been playing the drums and piano since 2000 and has been teaching since 2005.

He has played and recorded on numerous recording sessions, has played and recorded internationally and maintains a steady pulse in the local music scene.

I began taking both voice and piano lessons at the age of 11, after years of sitting outside my older sisters’ clarinet lessons and wishing to study music, myself. I fell in love with music at my very first lesson, and knew that it was what I would do with my life. While still in high school, I began teaching, spending my summers teaching music at a children's arts camp. I went on to attend New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, where I received my Bachelor of Music in vocal performance. I have experience teaching piano to students ranging from 4-year-old beginners to experienced adults, and my voice students have ranged from novices to conservatory-bound high-school seniors. I currently live in Roslindale, MA, and am available to teach both in my home studio and in students' homes in the Roslindale/Jamaica Plain/West Roxbury area.

Music is my passion! It is involved in every detail of my life, everyday of my life! Therefore, being able to teach others the skills that I have been so lucky to possess, i believe, is a gift! Being extremely versatile and able to play a wide variety of instruments (guitar, bass, mandolin, trumpet, music theory, composition and recording) as well as being familiar and experienced with almost any kind of music you can think of, I am able to help any student get exactly what he wants out of every lesson. I believe that the next generation of musicians are so vitally important to the continued creation of incredible music, music that changes the world! Without that first nudge out the door, who knows what the world could be missing out on! Lets keep the music alive! I have been teaching for about 6 years, through company studios and my own home. I have seen some amazing students walk in and out my door in this time and its the greatest feeling to hear students improve so much...
