B.A. Jazz performance, U-Mass Amherst.

Guitar lessons for Pittsfield, the Berkshires, as well as on the web via skype! Every level, age and genre! I'll provide a comfortable, yet disciplined working environment. Generally speaking I have a curriculum that I follow, but I do encourage students to bring things they want to work on as well so that they stay engaged, productive and most importantly, have fun!

Bio:
I've been playing the guitar for about 14 years now and the bass for four. I received my BA in Jazz Performance from U-Mass Amherst back in 2006 and since then I've performed in various different circumstances from local bars and cafes, musical theater, as a show band musician for Carnival Cruise Lines and as of recent, I was fortunate enough to play with James Taylor. I started teaching private lessons 7 years ago and besides out of my home, I'm currently teaching for the Berkshire Music School and this past summer I worked as instructor at a rock and roll camp here in Pittsfield called Rock On.
