"I'm Jeremy. I grew up in a home surrounded in music and musicians. My parents had some amount of musical talent, but my elder sister, twin brother and I all were born musically gifted. Sister sang alto, brother was a master drummer and percussionist, and I sing tenor/baritone and supplied the instrumentation. Growing up in an environment like that instilled a deep love for music at an early age, that only grows as I age

I graduated with a music degree, then decided to try to pursue teaching English in a school setting. Realizing that career path was probably not for me coincided with classrooms shutting down in 2020, and the decision was seemingly made for me.

I have 20 years of music playing and writing experience, and a teaching background, as well as a professional background in training and coaching. I have informally taught and mentored countless peers and children beginning to intermediate music lessons of varying specific focuses. I have a 20-year background in acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and bass guitar, as well as performance experience with said instruments including bandleading and singing.

I want my students to love and appreciate music and its role in the human experience. I want my students to leave my lessons inspired to continue working to achieve whatever musical goals they have for themselves. I want to help them with that. My lessons can cater to the very beginner to intermediate level guitar, bass guitar, and piano, regardless of whether or not they can read sheet music or are interested in learning. Some players do not prefer to use theory and instead use their ear and artistic intuition, and I support and can cater to either approach.

If players want a more traditional, theory-based approach, I can accommodate that. If they prefer to learn to play along to their favorite songs, learn a role in a band or how accompany themselves on an instrument, I can accommodate that as well." less...
