Hello! My name is Ross and I am a performing guitarist and educator in the Pittsburgh area. I have taught privately for over 10 years and have experience teaching in the classroom as well. Studying Music Education at IUP, I received training in multiple effective, highly successful methods of music instruction including students with special needs ranging from grades Pre-K-12. I play in four groups and average about 100 performances a year. Looking forward to hearing from you! - Ross

Be it Rock, Blues, Country, Pop, acoustic or electric this method sets you up for practically any genre.

The focus of the lessons is on understanding the guitar in depth as a melodic and rhythmic instrument via the 5 box system with a heavy lean toward structured improvisation and composition/songwriting. We learn this using songs and artists you enjoy.

I believe that learning music should be as fun and inspiring as it can be to play. We all have a vast wellspring of creative energy within us, and the goal of the relationship between the student and the teacher is to help nurture and develop that latent talent. For this reason, my approach to teaching music is highly individualized. I start out with the premise that the student has unique gifts and my job is to help them discover what those are, and develop and refine them in order to make beautiful and deeply satisfying music, through whatever instrument and in whatever style they are drawn towards.

Depending on one's starting level of experience, some basic exercises will be assigned to develop core skills, with increasing levels of technical challenge and complexity. Elements of music theory will be woven into practical lessons. Students will have the choice to incorporate material from popular and familiar music into their studies, and as they progress they will be encouraged to

I like to provide the student with the ability and knowledge to play any song they like.

Whether you want to learn a few songs, improve your chops or all-out shred, your lessons are designed to get your playing where you want it to be. Your lesson plan will be custom-tailored to your ability and geared toward your goals as a guitarist.

Hey guys! My name is Jered and I'd love to be a guide on your guitar journey. I've been playing for 20 years, have a BA in Music and Recording Technology, and currently play in a rock band in Portland, OR. I have taught students of all ages and all skill levels. My first love is rock, but I have studied classical, blues, country, metal, pop, funk and dabbled in a little jazz.

If you'd like to chat or have any questions just shoot me a message and I'll get back asap :)

Thanks for checking out my profile and I hope to hear from you soon.

Fun With the Fundamentals

I grew up in Pittsburgh and received formal training in rock and jazz while also being granted a scholarship for classical guitar from Mercyhurst College. In 2003 I moved to the Pacific Northwest performing both as a solo artist and in a few local bands before moving back home in 2017. I’ve learned a great deal over the years both from formal instruction and through the other musicians I’ve met and played with. I’ve experienced the teaching methods that work and promote growth and I’ve also witnessed the methods that suck the enjoyment out of playing guitar leaving students confused, bored, and without clear direction. There’s no one size fits all approach to learning to play music. Each student learns and thrives in different ways and a teaching method needs to be adaptable to accommodate that. -Stylistically I lean towards classic, indie, punk, garage, & yacht rock, classic & indie folk, 70’s-80’s metal, and classic jazz.

With that in mind my goal here is to make learning ...
