Guitar and Bass Instruction (Hamburg)

Guitar and Bass Instruction

Berklee College of Music honors graduate with over a decade of private teaching experience offering in studio or in-home private instruction for guitar and bass. Also teaching advanced improvisation concepts and music theory for guitar and bass. My teaching methods are designed to cultivate professional-level musicianship in students building performance skills composition and to help the student make and achieve goals week after week. Some areas of study include -song analysis and transcription -composition -Ear training (intervals harmonic analysis melodic and harmonic dictation) -Reading and writing standard notation. -Chord scale theory -Melodic development in improvisation -Solo analysis -Developing time-feel and phrasing In addition to teaching from the student s favorite songs I can provide the tools necessary for the student to transcribe understand and play what they hear. This method of study is tailored to any genre-specific interests of the student. I have availability on Mondays and Wednesdays in Hamburg and Saturday afternoons at Planet Music School on Hertel Ave. Lessons are 30-60 minutes in length. Limited in-home lesson times are also available. It is a pleasure to speak of my son s experience with Nick as his guitar instructor. Nick has been teaching guitar to my son for about two years. Nick is extremely professional accommodating and easy to interact with. Adam came to him with a few years of music experience and Nick has taken that knowledge to the next level. He has guided Adam through music theory song writing and good old fashioned guitar playing I am extremely pleased with our experience with him and the passion he has for teaching. I would recommend Nick as a music instructor to anyone who is interested in learning how to play guitar for the first time or renewing an interest in the instrument.
