    I want to share my passion and knowledge of music with you! I've been involved with music for as long as I can remember, and being classically trained in piano & trombone for years as a young person set me off to teach others the love of music! I started teaching private lessons in 2003, and have worked in performance ensembles, recording studios, bands, and other assorted musical areas throughout that time. I've gained teaching experience through summer camps, private instruction, workshops, and online curriculum. *** Lesson Details *** Lessons are tailored to each student's individual goals, and can be as interdisciplinary as they may like. I am always open to suggestions from both parents and students, so let me know what I can do to make your lessons the best they can be. A typical lesson would include some of the following elements: - Hand stretches - History and culture - info on influential composers/musicians. - œReview - on previously learned material. - Sight Reading - œScales - review, learning, and performance. - Solo Piece - continued work until mastery. - Homework Assignment *** Studio Equipment *** -Assorted guitars for accompaniment (classical, electric, steel string acoustic) -iMac desktop with Logic Pro 9 recording studio, and Garageband for instruction of MIDI and Production -Mandolin -Ukulele -Djembe -Bongos -Shakers, tambourines, and other assorted instruments! *** Specialties *** Player, historian, and perpetual student in the areas of American jazz, blues, soul, r&b, and funk.

    My son (8) and daughter (6) have been taking piano lessons with Josh and they've both been having a lot of fun AND learning a lot. Josh keeps it light, but makes sure that his students are learning the theory needed to really progress. I would HIGHLY recommend Josh!!!

    Josh has been the most kind and patient of any instructors I have ever had! He is knowledge-able, is always finding new ways to connect the right practice and knowledge with his students, and completely dedicated in making sure the student has fun! He is good with anyone of any age and music range and will always take the time to review. I sadly could not continue with him due to my schedule and inability to make the time to practice and attend lessons, but I would recommend him to any aspiring musician looking to enhance his/her musical abilities. You cannot get any better than Josh!

    Josh is a Great teacher! More patience with my son than I have at times! He was very good at explaining the basic concepts behind the lessons. Josh is always on time and ready to get started. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone that is interested in getting their kids started in music.
