- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Peace of Mind Music Lessons was started by Justin Ashouri. He has been a musician since the age of 5, began playing music professionally at the age of 15 (tied to top industry names such as Prince, Lenny Kravitz, and the Kingsmen to name a few) and began teaching at the age of 18. I wanted to put into practice all of the knowledge I had acquired in my studies to amount to something tangible before I began teaching. One of the biggest frustrations I had in connecting with my instructors were that none of them were applying their musical ability in the real world (playing gigs, producing records, taking part in the music business, etc.) and the lessons came across as just another way to pass time or pay the bills. Mr. Ashouri is a well decorated musician with many affiliations as well as charitable ties to the musical community
- What types of customers have you worked with?
The most common jobs are teaching students (beginners to moderate players mostly) teaching guitar, bass, drums, composing, music theory and song writing. We focus on the individual wants and desires of my students so within that every job I have is different, some students want to learn the basics, some apply basics to cover songs, some applying the basic to writing their own songs, and the list goes on and on.
