- Teaching Credentials:
- Did time at Berklee College in Boston, where I learned the basics of harmony and theory. I've been playing for 3o+ years, and have experience in rock, jazz, reggae, and lots of sub-genres.
I taught for a year and a half at Ross Music in Warwick, RI, and have done stints as a private teacher- even traveling to homes for lessons.
I'm only offering as a convenience to those in my locality- I don't actively teach at present, but would consider it again as a part-time gig.
