About Justin A.
5.0
(5)
Justin graduated from The University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2006 with a Bachelor of Music degree in addition to his Associates of Arts degree from Holyoke Community College in 2003. He has studied drums, percussion, piano, and theory with Bob Gulotti, Winard Harper, Adam Kolker, Eduardo Leandro, Richie Lepore and others.
He is passionate about music education, and has been teaching for over 11 years. Building a strong relationship with students is paramount. Every student is unique and each lesson is tailored to their individual needs, from the fundamentals to advanced concepts. Goals will be discussed and the lessons will work towards achieving them whether it's preparing for a school concert, losing the jitters for that first gig, or developing a career in music.
Along with having a rich educational history, Justin has been a touring musician throughout the nation since 2003. His performance experience has taken him to famed venues such as Boston Symphony Hall, the Wolf Den at Mohegan Sun and repeated appearances at the legendary Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City among others.

My son is enjoying his lessons every week with Justin. Justin is great, has a very good personality, always on time, polite, and keeps in contact. So far everything is going better than expected. My son seems to be moving right along because of Justin's help. Thanks you Justin!
