About Adam
I'm a seasoned guitarist with over 15 years playing and 9 years teaching experience. I have a Bachelor of Music from NYU, I am Manhattan based and have a multitude of both live and studio session work experience. My studio experience includes having worked with notable producers, doing sessions for a variety of musicians and doing music for advertisements. My performing background includes having played guitar for various rock groups throughout the country at famous venues including The Bowery Ballroom, Music Hall of Williamsburg, Gramercy Theater, 9:30 Club, Electric Factory, Orpheum Theatre Boston, The Roxy and festivals such as Lollapalooza, SXSW and CMJ. I've also written instructional articles for Premier Guitar magazine.

I'm a laid back teacher with an easy going nature, but I do expect my students to put time into their practicing. I customize my curriculum based on your needs. If you are a complete beginner who really has a desire to learn the instrument, we will focus on technique, theory and improvisation as it applies to your favorite styles and songs.
For students who want to play more casually, we will focus on mastering techniques that will get you playing your favorite tunes while bypassing the theoretical aspects.
Intermediate/Advanced students are welcome to choose the areas they feel they need to improve, whether it's understanding how to apply modes to your soloing or developing a fluid sweeping technique.
My home studio has a spare guitar and amp for your convenience.
*** Studio Equipment ***
space with instruments seating for parents
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in Rock/Metal/Blues but can teach all genres comfortably.
My method is custom tailored to the student. If gaining a deep knowledge of the instrument is his/her goal I focus on technique, theory, and application through improvisation. If a student would rather learn their favorite songs I spend the majority of the time focusing on the techniques needed to perform the tune and pepper in a little theory where applicable.

So,at the beginning, Adam patiently taught me music theory and the technique to play guitar. During the lessons, I have asked him basic questions about music theory time and again, and he patiently explained the concepts to me. Also, sometimes, I asked him to explain me the song composition (chord structure , melody , bass and etc) of some random songs, and he quickly broke it down in the class and showed me how the song is constructed.
One thing I like about the class structure is that Adam gives you the freedom to choose the lesson content. And, then he slowly nudges you on the right path. In terms of scheduling a lesson, Adam is very accommodating, and he accommodated my every request to change the schedule.
Another thing I would like to mention is Adam's depth of knowledge in terms of music history. Adam always explained me the music concepts by telling me how they got introduced into the music culture.
I will recommend Adam to anyone who wants to learn music.

About Rick
A bachelors degree in music ed, a masters degree in jazz studies and 25+ years of playing, teaching and performing experience comes with you to every one of our lessons. Whether it be on trumpet, trombone, guitar, piano or voice I will consistently stress fundamentals that lead students towards the musicians they strive to be. I feel incorporating music that is relevant to the student and his or her goals is paramount and doable! I will always demonstrate the techniques and ideas I espouse. Lastly, I show my students the joy music has put in my life and in turn, show them how to play music towards the same ends.

About Dylan D.
Close
I can teach a wide variety of subjects. I specialize in metal, rock and free improvisation, but am also proficient in jazz and classical. Potential topics of study include: death metal/black metal/thrash technique, lead playing, rock and blues fundamentals, improvisation, general music theory, jazz theory, classical/fingerstyle technique and reading, general dexterity and technique, ear training, composition
About Dylan
I can help you to take your skills and creativity to the next level. I know what it's like to hit a plateau and fizzle out, whether from a technical or creative perspective. My diverse background in jazz, metal, classical, free improvisation, rock, blues, funk and modern composition allows me to provide my students with a multi-faceted approach to growing as a musician. I build a custom curriculum for each of my students. Our course of study always begins with a thorough discussion about the student's goals (both broad and specific), tastes in music, musical background, and general personality characteristics. I want to build a course of study from the ground up that fully engages the student's attention.
My experience and education as a player is broad and multi-faceted. I am comfortable teaching many different topics. In the past I h

ave taught lead playing, rock and blues fundamentals, improvisation, general music theory, jazz theory, metal technique, classical/fingerstyle technique and reading, general dexterity and technique, ear training, and composition.
I came to New York City from Philadelphia in 2005 and earned a Bachelor's Degree in Music and Music Business in 2009. During my time at NYU I became heavily involved at WNYU 89.1 FM, eventually becoming the General Manager of the station as well as the host and producer of the station's flagship metal program. After graduating, I became fixated on my metal band PYRRHON. Since forming in 2008, we have released three full-length albums (our most recent album What Passes For Survival came out on the internationally acclaimed label Willowtip Records), and have done several North American tours and one Western European/UK tour. Outside of PYRRHON, I compose solo guitar pieces, improvise avidly, and independently study classical guitar.

About Josh P.
Close
I have been teaching professionally since 2011. I hold a masters degree from the University of Louisville, and a bachelors degree from Morehead State University, studying jazz guitar at both schools. I have been teaching students from ages 5-60 with varying skill levels. My lessons specialize in learning technique along with the music theory to back it up. I also teach how to read standard music notation, guitar tablature, and also guitar maintenance. My philosophy for teaching is that every one of my students will be able to function effectively in any musical genre that they choose, and be able to understand the theory behind what is being played.
About Josh
I am a professional guitarist, guitar teacher, composer, and audio engineer from Louisville, Ky. I hold a masters degree from the University of Louisville and a bachelors degree from Morehead State University, both studying jazz guitar performance.
My principle instrument teachers include Craig Wagner, Glenn Ginn, Peter Mazza, and Dani Rabin. I also studied music theory and improvisation under Chris Fitzgerald (bass), Gordon Towell (saxophone), Steven Snyder (piano/organ), Mike Tracy (saxophone), and Ansyn Banks (trumpet). I have been fortunate enough to perform at JEN (Jazz Education Network) convention, and KMEA (Kentucky Music Education Association). I have also performed with artists such as Eric Alexander, Jim Snydero (opened for him), Pat Coil, Jamey Aebersold, Ryan Cohen, Amina Figarova, and Dan Haerle, just to name a few.

eaching career started in 2011 while I was at MSU. Since then, I have moved to Gittli Music Studios in Jeffersontown, and have worked with numerous students of all ages and skill levels. I frequently work with students that have never picked up the instrument. Students that have been playing for a year or less and are just getting their start. Also students that have been playing for years and just wanting to hone their skills and technique. All of my students after lessons with me should know the entire fretboard of the guitar, and be able to function effectively in any musical genre that they would like to play. I look forward to working with you, and sharing my knowledge of how make great music!
