About Jarrod V.
4.7
(9)
My name is Jarrod V. I am a graduate of the University of Rhode Island Music Program. I currently teach music in Beaufort County, SC. I also perform in many local bands, including Lowcountry Jam, Soundboy, the Storks, White Liquor, 2 Sons, etc. I have previously 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, Michael Franti, 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!
*** Lesson Details ***
Through my lessons, you will learn music theory, music history and music performance. I am very outgoing, personable and friendly, and I will motivate you to be a great musician!
I have experience with piano, voice, drums, trumpet, saxophone and many other instruments... we can work on everything from stage presence to mastering your instrument to playing different instruments and becoming a versatile musician. I have access to a great library of music books, theory and history worksheets and other literature that will help us attain rock-star status! If you are looking for a fun, motivating, professional teacher, you have found the right guy!
*** Studio Equipment ***
I have access to keyboards, saxophones, piano and basic drum equipment, as well as internet access and speakers for listening. It is a great environment to learn and play!
*** Travel Equipment ***
I have some drum equipment, books, pencils/paper, keyboards, saxophone... I would expect the student to invest in a workbook, maybe an inexpensive keyboard for practice purposes (for piano lessons), and other items depending on what we are studying. I can provide most of the materials, though.
*** Specialties ***
I am great with JAZZ/FUNK MUSIC, as well as CLASSICAL. I have a lot of experience teaching MUSIC THEORY/MUSIC HISTORY

Jarrod is a great instructor!
From the first lesson, our son (11) was excited and engaged! He even play his trumpet for fun !
As a parent, I am pleased with the balanced instruction/practice ratio that has instilled responsibility and dedication without being overwhelming and frustrating.
Jarrod teaches at a student's pace,while adding just the right amount of challenge, allowing confidence to grow in a well organized,fun and personalized instruction plan.
What I like most is; Jarrod loves music and teaching! He addresses success and challenges with enthusiasm, support and encouragement,equally.
