    About Aaron M.

    4.5
    (4)
    Berklee College of Music graduate, Aaron M., has been teaching students of all ages for over 18 years. "I love watching young musicians grow into seasoned players and have had tremendous success with all my students. I believe that learning songs and playing music is a critical element in the learning process of becoming a good musician. This is why I bring a powered PA speaker, mp3 player, and (sometimes) a guitar to my lessons for the student to play along with and learn familiar songs. Over the years I've learned to strike a balance between Reading/Rudiments and Playing/having fun, so as to maintain students interests and growth." *** Lesson Details *** Music lessons in the comfort of your home!

    We see the progression each week and couldn't be happier with Aaron's demeanor and overall way he handles my husband's lesson structure.
