Introduction: Let's start with a free lesson to see if it is a fit! I'm looking for students of any level who are seriously interested in learning music. Do you want to... -Learn your favorite songs and what makes them tick? -Play chords so beautiful that birds sing and flowers bloom? -Write the song that will be blasting at your own funeral? -Understand music theory and the aesthetic firepower it gives you? I am a guitarist, producer, bassist, and drummer with a B.S. in jazz guitar and 9+ years of teaching experience. My teaching style is based on experimentation, compassion, self-examination, in-depth analysis, and giving students the tools needed to teach themselves. I base my curriculum on you as an individual and the music you love. I cover songwriting, live looping, style fluency, tone, music production, soloing, improvisation, incorporating jazz melodies and chords, fingerpicking, neuroscience-based practice techniques, and more. Genre is not a question for me. I am equally comfortable producing trap beats as I am playing fingerstyle, death metal, blues, indie folk, or jazz. I give students custom tabs and music as well as a regularly updated document of resources and lesson reviews. I am also available outside of lessons if you have questions.

Tony is a great teacher. He is kind and caring, and his passion for music and attention to detail in his lessons create a dynamic space for learning. He is flexible and generous with his time, and attentive to the interests of his students. Would highly recommend to any and all of my friends.

Tony is amazing. He is a wonderful teacher because he is nice and very determined to making me an amazing player. He gets as excited as I do about playing and that makes me feel inspired and motivated! Please book a lesson with Tony :)

Tony was one of my first introductions to music and as I have progressed he continues to be my biggest influence and teacher. He is a rare breed of person who processes both creativity and knowledge of theory in volumes. His approach is easy to digest but without ever feeling like you are a novice who won’t progress into the musician you want to be. This is the music teacher you want at any level because he inspires you as both an instructor and a musician himself. There is honestly no one I would recommend more. He’s also funny and approachable which of course helps you want to continue with the lessons, something critical to getting better. You won’t regret lessons with Tony, he really is one of a kind.
