Instruments: Drums

It allows the student to progress and grow and it also gives them the passion and discipline need for the instrument. I also want my students to have fun and I want them to learn what they wanna learn and play what they wanna play while also providing them with the necessary tools to get the most out of their instrument. I also encourage my students to enter competitions and recitals, or even sharing your talents on social media. as well as writing and creating their own material. Read More

I started playing guitar at age 8. In my formative years I studied with various instructors around central Indianapolis until mid year of '85. Upon this time I studied a full year with James Lee Thorpe whom eventually played, toured recorded with Sweet F.A. They released albums with MCA Chrysalis Records. I began composing my own riffs, melodies and solo work at age 15 also. I studied Music Theory my Junior year at Ben Davis High School. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar

Music is one of my many passions in life, and nothing pleases me more than sharing and teaching others about the wonderful skills that are developed when playing musical instruments. I'm the ultimate people person, taking the best interest in each individual student in order to progress their skills at an appropriate rate that is fun and exciting with each lesson! Music is challenging and can be frusterating at times, but leave it to me to help break down and simplify it so you can gain confidence in yourself and overall enjoy each lesson as we take steps towards your own goals.

Grant P

Instruments: Drums

Inspiring students and setting realistic goals are what lead to quick development. I tailor the way I instruct my students on the wants and needs of the student. If they want to be better at a certain riff or fill, I am not going to force them to learn something else. My goal is to offer the best quality of service by giving the student the most enjoyable and developmental sessions. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Drums Organ Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Every student learns differently, so by finding out what inspires my student, I am able to create individiualized lesson plans that cater to my student's needs without losing focus on the fundamentals of music. Music is such a blessing and should be fun! Ample time is given to students to discover their own music and inherent rhythms while studying the vast pedigree of music that has come before us. My lesson plans incorporate everything from reading writing music, jam sessions (often times with me!), and recording time. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Eddie C

Instruments: Bass Guitar Electric Guitar

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided in the 6th grade after hearing Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin. When I heard that guitar and that rhythm I was never the same. Soon after I heard Jimi Hendrix and I knew that I was going to be a guitarist. Once I heard even more guitarists like Eric Clapton and BB King, I was even more excited. My first influence on The bass definitely had to be Marcus Miller. One day I was playing too many notes on a show rehearsal. A teacher of mine who happened to be the drummer said you need listen to this. This is a bass player. You need to get in the pocket son!

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes. My grandfather was a musician. His brother played with Little Richard, Otis Redding, and Chuck Berry. I learned that my mother was a pianist when she was younger. Everyone on my mothers side of our family either could sing, dance, or was a musician. I knew as a child that music was my calling. My grandfather would play outside on the porch and the whole neighborhood would come to our yard and all of a sudden we would have shindig going. My aunt sings in the choir at her church and has been in the choir for over 30 years

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
On the bass guitar it’s Funk. Funk stands for Fun Kids and it used to be A bad word. Reggae is number two on my list because of the important role it plays. The blues is third. Rock and punk is fourth. I absolutely love jazz and walking bass lines. Old soul music is awesome too. But my favorite would have to be funk because I believe everything can be made to be funky. Rock music like Motörhead and The Ramones are great styles with different bass tones that can be easily differentiated once the music is being learned by someone. That is one of the cool things about the bass guitar

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I probably would be a fishing guide or a professional hunter. I loved football as a kid but I didn’t get big enough fast enough. I also enjoy landscaping and yard work. I would probably be a guitar builder with my own custom instruments that I would sell to all the rockstars and musicians. I’m pretty good at cleaning so I might have a cleaning service/home improvement business. I like farming so I can see myself on a tractor plowing a big field. I also like cooking and eating so I can se myself as a chef

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I actually play the guitar pretty well but I am self taught. I understand chords and soloing. Guitar was actually my first instrument of choice. But the bass seemed to be more needed. I love the blues and funk guitar. My favorite style is blues rock mixed with improv. Jazz and bebop is mixed in also. I can play guitar with just about any body in my opinion but I’m still learning certain techniques that require slot of time and money to master. The electric guitar and acoustic guitar are also my favorites. I’m also an upright bassist as well as a drummer and producer.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
