I have learned from some absolutely incredible teachers (Erik Deutsch, Shedrick Mitchell, Billy Martin, Anwar Marshall, Jeff Stabley, Tony Mason, Elliot Jacobson, Azande Cummings) and enjoy passing on that knowledge. Maybe you’d like some tips, feedback, and pointers on navigating the music business. Maybe you’re like “screw the music business, I just want to be creative.” Want to be able to identify a complicated chord progression by ear? Additional topics include: snare/cymbal selection, theory, intro to reading music, playing in all 12 keys, technique builders, chart making, playing behind singer/songwriters, how to learn and memorize songs, chord voicings, improvisation and more. We can build your repertoire, abilities, and compositional skills in a positive, encouraging way that is conducive to your individual learning style. I also have several years experience working with students with special needs.
