Hi! I'm Scott. I usually perform using a one-man band setup I created. I modified guitar and made foot pedals to control a drum set, while singing. I have a recording studio at home, and have performed with bands as a singer, guitarist, saxophonist, bassist, percussionist, and as a sound engineer. I've written, performed and recorded my own album which made it to the 2nd round of the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, and was a voting member of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Grammy Committee and NARAS (National Association or the Recording Arts and Sciences.) I started piano lessons from age 5 and just kept picking up more instruments and gear as I got older and never stopped learning or enjoying it!

*** Lesson Details ***
I have been teaching Guitars, Basses, Percussion, Piano, Saxophone, Music Production, Recording, and Live Sound for 16 years.

I can teach you how to read music, tabs, ear training, music theory, composition, improvisation in just about any style of music.

Working with people writing songs is something I enjoy thoroughly; I can help you write and record your own songs. I like to take full advantage of the technology for learning and producing music.

Knowledgeable in instrument repair, set-up, and maintenance, I can help you fix it, teach you how to spot a good instrument, and how to modify them to your liking.

Patient and experienced with a broad knowledge of music, I can give you hundreds of good references from previous students I've taught over the years.

I took every music class available in high school and opened my own business shortly after. I had to stay a step ahead of students to eat, so any questions or techniques I didn’t know, I would learn and be prepared to teach the following lesson. I compare my knowledge to folks that attended music schools like Berkeley, and self-teaching taught me more than what those graduates received at an expensive music school because I had to figure it out and understand it on my own to be able to explain answers to my students.

*** Studio Equipment ***

Guitars, basses, percussion and drum sets, a piano, saxophones, hand drums, a 20-track digital recording studio with monitors that are equalized to the room's acoustics for accurate listening and mixing, plus an assortment of microphones, amps, mic stands, cables, and connectors.
