Guitar with Sam L.

I started playing guitar when I was 7 and loved it. A couple years after that I started playing in bands, and a couple years after that I started writing music. I've done music programs and studied guitar at Interlochen Center for the Arts and Berklee School of Music. In the summer of 2019 I worked at the School of Rock in Montclair NJ; I directed groups of 9- to 14-year-olds and taught them music which they then performed at a real venue. In the summer of 2021 I ran the guitar department at Camp Ballibay. I taught up to six lessons a day as well as directed "bands". Together, the band members and I picked a song and they rehearsed every day under my guidance and eventually performed for the whole camp. I directed around 20 bands that summer. I love playing music and I love playing music with people. Every lesson I have ever taught has been a learning experience for me. On that same note, I like to think I've picked up a couple things over the years and would love to share what I know.
