About Cameron S.

We'll work on learning your favorite songs, ear training, theory, improvisation, and nailing the sounds and styles of your favorite guitarists!
About Cameron
STUDYING WITH ME:
Learning guitar should be interesting and fun! While we're studying all the different aspects of the instrument, you'll also be learning how to play your favorite songs and solos! I approach each student as an individual and structure their lessons according to what I determine they need, as well as what they are interested in musically. I concentrate on many different areas; ear training, theory, playing technique, improvisation, various styles of music, and, the physics of the guitar. Understanding how the instrument works is important in my opinion. My long term goal is to teach a student how they can teach themselves down the line. Understanding why you’re playing something is just important as knowing how to play it. I aim to give a student rich and well rounded one-on-one time!

GENERAL BIOGRAPHY:
I h
ave been teaching and performing for over a decade both in the US, and in England. I have played in various bands and have produced independent artists. I have worked for a recording studio and for various academic institutions including the Filomen M. D'Agostino Greenberg Music School in New York city.
I obtained my degree from Purchase College in New York and am a member of their Conservatory of Music.
*** Lesson Details ***
I construct lessons for each individual student depending on their musical tastes, goals, and current skill level etc. I want each person to get as much from their time studying with me as possible. Within three to six months, I'll have you working on timing, theory, ear training, improv, and songs/styles of music you may be interested in. I'm laid back, however, I expect at least the minimum practice time between lessons, which I'll change throughout the course of our time together depending on your skill level etc. Practice materials I draw up are included. I write out everything in plain English and do not require the use of sheet music!
*** Studio Equipment ***
Small recording studio, piano, various guitars, bass, and amps.
*** Travel Equipment ***
guitar, bass, laptop, digital recorder.
*** Specialties ***
I concentrate on ear training, improvisation, and explore styles ranging from pop, alternative, rock, prog, and blues, to metal, funk, and folk etc. I do not require sight reading skills for any level of student. Rather, I work with the student with theory and arrangement conventions to really understand the music. This intern, greatly sharpens their musical ear and helps them to learn music much faster because they understand how it is put together; why and how it works, etc.
***Teaching Special Needs***
I have experience teaching students who have been visually impaired,
blind, hearing impaired, or who have had mild learning disabilities. I
am also comfortable with a student bringing their service dog or
therapy dog to our lessons if they wish.

Cameron is great at tailoring the lessons to my musical taste without compromising the theory, basics and fundamentals.
I have been taking lessons for one year and will not go elsewhere anytime soon. His vast musical knowledge helps merge the theory with concrete examples. No question remains unanswered.

About Michele
Guitar has been a love of mine since I was 14, when I first saw someone entertaining people at a party.
I began lessons for myself, at the age of 16. First I learned the basics and rock style music, and then I played and sang in some local Baltimore garage bands and in talent shows.
I went on to major in music in college, at Towson State University, with classical guitar as my concentration.
I began playing out professionally in my 20's, includings bars and restaurants like the Westminster Inn and at Fells Point, festivals like the Owings Mills Festival, weddings and parties.
I love teaching guitar and seeing the student's eyes light up, when things click together to get that favorite riff or favorite song right !

About Eric T.
Close
When it really comes down to it, the idea of learning an instrument can be very daunting. It's really easy to get discouraged and put off diving into something that should just be fun and rewarding. But a little direction goes a very long way! I can help you maximize your time and focus your efforts so you can make the most of whatever level of commitment you are comfortable with.
Want to start with the nuts and bolts? I can walk you through the basic fundamentals of Music Theory. We can explore chords, scales, intervals, rhythm, and melody all at a methodical and comfortable pace.
Just want to get the ball rolling and start learning some tunes already?! We can do it that way then! A few exercises and tips on technique will allow you to start honing your skills while you expand your song list.
About Eric
I've been playing guitar for almost 20 years and keyboards for about 15. I am also competent at bass guitar. I enjoy a wide range of musical tastes. I have been fortunate enough to share the stage with many talented people, as a guitarist, keyboardist, and vocalist. I am currently working on a studio project. I want to share my passion for music with others!
