My name is Joshua, I am new to teaching, but am very passionate about the guitar! I have been playing for the better part of a decade, have performed in ensemble groups, jazz bands, as well as local rock and metal groups! I do NOT possess a formal degree in music. I did however take music theory, as well as AP theory in high school, so I have a solid enough understanding of music to teach you or your child how to understand basic concepts! Read More

With students of any age, I consider it my number one priority to create a learning environment that is both encouraging of their growth and passion for music, and supportive/safe for them to take the risks and meet the challenges necessary for that growth.

Every lesson is wrapped up with an obtainable goal for the next week.  This will entirely depend on the student's level and individual goals for the instrument.

I'm here to remind all my students that there should never be an end; music is a never ending journey! Read More

I have been a professional bassist since the age of 17, performing and giving private lessons in lieu of a traditional after school job. Throughout my career, I have played in a variety of different projects across a wide spectrum of genres and have a solid understanding of most styles of music. I impart on my students a strong set of musical and technical fundamentals that apply to any and all styles of music, and only teach concepts and exercises that I myself have personally benefitted from.
