Tristan is the consummate teacher. He has a deep understanding of all aspects of the guitar. He not only is a great player himself but he's a wonderful teacher. He has an uncanny ability to take various concepts, some of which are complex, and simplify them with well thought out explanations that often involve apt analogies to non-music things. Some guitar teachers simply teach patterns and forms but never really get into what is behind those things. Tristan makes sure you understand the "why" behind what you are learning which always leads to a better result. Whether you just want to play the guitar as a hobby or want to see how far you can take your playing, Tristan is the perfect instructor to help you meet your personal goals.

I am so happy that I hired Tristan to perform at my daughter’s graduation party. He is very talented and professional. I was able to work with him on a song list based on my music preferences. I was very impressed with the wide range of music that he can perform. I was able to choose the size of the band and the length of the performance based on my budget. Tristan provided me with plenty of sound-clips of his performances. All of my guests let me know how much they enjoyed the band. The live music made the party fun and memorable.

Details: General event / party • 26 - 50 guests • 18 - 30 years old • 31 - 50 years old • 51 or older • Band • Guitar • Vocals • No preference • Variety • Outdoors

Tristan has unending knowledge of music from his time as a performer and Berklee College of Music but his teaching style for me which characterized technique as meaningless without application worked amazingly -- every new skill was taught through actual music. I often feel like I need to know the "why" behind good music or interesting progressions, and he provided that analysis alongside the where and how musical ideas could be placed. I came in with ~5 years of self taught experience and felt like every lesson was an overwhelming amount of information. Would recommend bringing a device to record with to get full value.

Tristan was very flexible about scheduling the lesson and tailored the singing training to my needs. He was patient during the class and very good at explaining music concepts to a complete novice (me)!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I maintain a small and selective roster of 1 on 1 coaching clients. I am looking for passionate guitarists of any experience level who are committed to elevating their playing. Premium Coaching Plan: $680/month (2 45min sessions per week, practice video feedback up to 3x/weekly) I also offer once/week sessions (no practices feedback included) at my full rates: $95/45min session $120/60min session After the first month trial period, I require all clients to commit to a weekly (or twice weekly) time-slot and pay by the month. Be held accountable for your progress: daily practice video feedback gives you the opportunity to show me you're putting in the work, and get some pointers/course corrections before solidifying any bad habits. Never miss a lesson again: for online lessons, we can record important portions of each lesson for you to practice along with. If you ever need to cancel, a personalized recorded lesson will be filmed and sent to you during your allotted time slot (ensuring you stay on track, and get the most value from your coaching).
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I offer a complimentary phone consultation to discuss your goals and answer any questions you may have about my teaching style and getting started, Then we can get a first session on the books! For performances, I require a deposit in advance to hold the performance date. This deposit is transferable to another date under certain circumstances but non-refundable.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In 2019, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music with my Bachelor's in Guitar Performance. I've been running a guitar coaching since 2014, honing my abilities to cater to the specific needs of each client, and finding unique and exciting ways to motivate, inspire, and educate. I began studying the guitar at age seven under the direction of my father, who graduated from Berklee College of Music. Since then I have had the honor of studying with many of the greatest guitarists in the Boston area, including Richie Hart, John Baboian, John Wilkins, Ken Taft, and Erik Ringstad.
