Guitar

Hi, folks! My name is J. Scott P. and I can't wait to meet and talk music with you! I've been teaching in both public and private education since 2008 and have loved helping students gain confidence in their music.  

I went to East Tennessee State University where I participated in the world renown bluegrass music program and earned a master's degree in education.

Like many of you my musical journey started with seeing someone playing guitar, and thinking, “Cool!  I want to do that”.  However, growing up in a family with no musical background and possessing zero natural ability, I had no clue what kind of adventure I was beginning.  Despite these obstacles, and through the help of teachers, coaches, and mentors, I found that through developing good practice habits, listening to all kinds of music, and sheer grit I have developed into the musician my younger self would have been impressed with.      

With this unique perspective I can confidently say ANYONE can learn a musical instrument. By using a proven curriculum, listening exercises, and unwavering encouragement - it is my mission to help you achieve any of your musical goals.

Here are some of my specific qualifications and experiences:

-Graduated from East Tennessee State University with a master’s degree in education and certified to teach grades K-12

-During my time at East Tennessee State University I was a member of the world renowned Bluegrass and Country Music program

-Served as a staff musician at the Augusta Heritage Center in Elkins, West Virginia

-Founded and directed and after school music program for students in grades 4th-6th

-Completed an Americorps service term where I helped manage and operate a record label focused on traditional American folk music

-Produced, wrote, and hosted a radio program on the influential Americana station WDVX

During this weekly class will cover all five positions of the major scale. The majority of the class students will actively participate in a hands on practice session with a timing device (metronome, backing track).

While all levels of students are welcome this class is for adults only
