Teacher Info

Hi, my name is Justin. I have been a musician for almost 20 years now, and I’ve been teaching music professionally for almost 10.

Teaching is my passion. It helps bring meaning to my life – change into the world. The most rewarding thing I get to do in life is watching my students achieve. It gives me a profound sense of impact. I’m hoping to reach as many people as I can.. and to give them the same expression and outlet that I’ve had all these years.

I work with students ages 6 and older. I have taught students as young as six years old – all the way up to 67 years young. I also work with students with disabilities and have lots of experience teaching students with moderate to severe disabilities.

The difference in having me as an instructor, is that I make very personal connections with my students. I PRIDE MYSELF – in the ability to get people to ACTUALLY ENJOY playing. Over the years I’ve put into practice methods of getting people to stick with what their doing. To look forward to having their next lesson. And to build an exceptional relationship with balance and accountability towards mutual goals and interests.

I’m currently looking for new students of all skill levels that want to proficiently advance. I work with everyone, regardless of skill level, age, or disability. And have experience working with students with severe disabilities. I’m an extremely patient person with a very calm demeanor that gets along with everyone. I take a great deal of pride in helping my students feel like they can learn and progress with every lesson we have. And to actually enjoy what they are doing along the way. I study and teach a wide variety of genres. all of my students are required to learn a broad range of music to become well rounded musicians.

It’s certainly worth mentioning, I’ve done a lot in the music industry. I’ve been touring, been in multiple bands of varying success. Recorded in high stress situations in very expensive studios. Performed many different genres live. Taken many different roles as a performer and player, and I have enough experience with the majority of musical endeavors, that I can give valuable guidance to anyone for almost any situation. I’m also pretty flexible with scheduling. I also don’t mind taking the time to answer questions outside of our lessons. ALL of my students are free to contact me at any time with questions or concerns. I make great connections with all my clients. Everyone i teach should feel comfortable asking questions outside of our time together.
