I'm a dedicated and experienced guitar instructor who has worked with students of many different ages and skill levels. Over the past 20 years, I have performed, recorded and toured with several noteworthy regional and national recording artists, while also furthering my education along the way. Although I have had some incredible experiences as a performing musician, my biggest passion is sharing my musical knowledge with others. I have had the pleasure of helping countless guitarists become better at their craft through my teaching, and welcome students from any background to contact me about scheduling lessons. Read More

I started out at the age of nine playing the trumpet, and continued this for two years before switching to piano. Ultimately, I found my love in playing the guitar, and took lessons for two years. As time went on, I advanced as a guitarist and actually expanded into new musical instruments. I began playing in local rock and r&b bands at the age of 15. These were some of my most influential experiences, as they expanded my musical tastes into jazz fusion, swing, standards and Latin Jazz. After graduating high school, I attended community college and then went to New York to study jazz theory, where I played a few sets with Sweetback in 2000 that led up to being asked to play with the band.

Hi! I'm Asher. I'm a lifelong musician. It's who I am; playing guitar is a language to me, and one in which I often feel more fluent than my native tongue. I've been teaching private and group lessons for over ten years. I've been fortunate enough to perform, both solo and with bands, all over the world. I've led groups of talented musicians to perform original music from Jerusalem to Tokyo, toured the United States multiple times, and have recorded and produced over 1,000 songs in my lifetime.

I have a lot of experience with curriculum development. My favorite books to teach from include Accent on Achievement, Alfred's Piano Book series and Essential Elements. However I can teach without a book on any instruments and compose assignments as I have done in the past. Even if I am teaching using a book, I usually do a lot of ear training and music theory based assignments that are not found in these books. Read More

For beginner students I will utilize either the "Alfred's Basic Piano Library" or "Faber - Hal Leonard's Piano Adventures" with the particular books selected to fit the student's age and skill level. I also enhance lessons by integrating scale pattern practice as well as exploration with simple boogie-woogie bass patterns; encouragement to sing and play where the lessons provide such an arrangement; and tinkering creating very simple melody lines and lyrics.

Slow and steady WINS the race! Learning music is not a race, but this lesson is true when learning music. I am able to work with students to help them improve by identifying and isolating problems in their playing. I can create simple exercises for the student to slowly and surely become closer to the guitarist they wish to be. I am very flexible and prioritize the students need over everything else. Read More

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Not that I know of.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
One of the hardest thing to master as a guitar or bass player is the physcal strength, flexibility and coordination of the fingers and hands. The left and the right hands have to develop different capabilities theateventually work together to create musical tones and rhythms.
Beginning students sometimes find it very diffucult to play enough to grow callouses on their "fretting" fingers so they can press the strings down without too much pain.
I think it is true for all instruments that maybe the biggest challenge is staying with it over many years, so that your growth as a person can show up in your playing.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I wanted to play trumpet and bugged my parent for at least a year about it. I signed up for lessons in school but found teachers mostly old and uninspiring. It's where I learned to read music and develop an appreciation for musicians. My real inspiration came from a friend who lived up the street from me and wanted to teach me how to play so we could start a band some day. I sold my trumpet for my first guitar and that got mr going.
After that I was fortunate enough to meet some great players and take a few private lessons. Now there are some many learning resources online to keep me inspired. Honestly, my students are an ongoing inspiration to me to keep improving.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I switched to guiter because I wanted to play contemporary music I liked, what was rock and folk back then. Guitar and bass seemed to me to be better suited for those styles. You can't overlook personal taste and youthful enthusiasm when deciding an which instrument to play.
I think everyone has some kind of musical talent, just like everyone can do math. But some of us love math and the rest of us use it as needed but don't go to bed at night dreaming about multiplication tables. We can all appreciate music but the musicians among us often know what they like to hear and want to imitate.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Learning how to learn music, then learning it.
Learning how to teach music by teaching it.
Performing before live and appreciaative audiences.
Seeing my students progress in their learning.
Seeing myself continue to progress as a musician and teacher ... still, even after 40+ years of playing and studying.
Developing into a much better singer and learing how to be an entertainer, as well.
Using my experience teaching world cultures to enhance my understanding of the history of music and the role it has "played" in the on-going evolution of culture.
