    About Lewis R.

    I have a bachelors degree from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, as well as extensive real life experience, including performances with George Clinton and P-Funk, Steve Vai, Paul Taylor, and Bernie Worrell. I have toured with mamy musicians and bands, including Tom Constanten, Jefferson Starship, Alphonso Johnson, and more. As an engineer, I am a former employee of the legendary Avatar Studios in NYC, where I was lucky enough to work among some of the best in the industry, including Paul McCartney, Tony Bennett, Josh Groban, John Mayer, Carrie Underwood, and many more. I have been teaching since 2004 privately, as well as for BandWorks School of Rock, and as a guest instructor at the Berklee College of Music. I believe in keeping music fun, and doing things right!
