About Scott
****Currently offering in home instruction****
We have been providing our community with the finest custom suited private instrumental instruction since 1998!
I enjoy watching all of our students progress so quickly learning the music that they love!
I always was the one amongst my friends that was showing those who were having trouble with music how to do things correctly.
But, I actually began teaching professionally in the studio that I learned in while I was still in college.
In addition to receiveing a formal education,I have 30 years of private teaching experience.
About the lesson
- All Levels
- English
All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
I assess the level of a student to start,and then use appropriate music that is familiar or enjoyable to them to learn necessary techniques.
I have worked with all types of students(beginners,advanced,gigging musicians) from age 4 to adult and everything in between.
Read reviews and know that experience is key.
A teacher's insight to quickly assess a problem and relay it in a way that is easily understood by the individual is only gained through experience.
A former student of mine had an upcoming show that he needed a guitar solo learned for,but just couldn't perfect it on his own.
We sat down,and within an hour he was ready for his gig.
I love being able to help,and have an opportunity to use one of my quotes like ..."it's not that you can't do it, you just can't do it yet."
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Can you teach me the music that I enjoy?
How long should it take for me to start playing actual music?
While of course every student is different and learns in their unique way at their own pace,the best way to be able to learn music, is to play music right from the start.
If the answer to the second question is anything other than immediately or almost immediately,prepare to be bored.

My daughter loves her lessons with Scott.
He teaches her in a way that she can easily understand.
He also teaches her friend,but with a completely different approach.
A great teacher really knows how and when to change things up in order to get lessons learned!When I was a kid,I took piano lessons.
I learned a little bit,but didn't enjoy them as much as I thought I could if I could play what I heard on the radio.
My teacher would say, "you're not ready for that,maybe one day."
So when my son wanted lessons, I thought to myself....uh....torture.
But when were referred to Scott, I was taken aback by how much fun my son was having.
So impressed,that I started taking lessons myself.
Now,I'm not going to tell you how many years ago that my scarring childhood lessons were, but I bet that if I had the same teacher,I would STILL be playing from those old boring books.
Right from the beginning with Scott, was playing songs that I actually recognize!!!!!
Not boring exercises or songs that George Washington used to dance to.
Thank you Scott for not putting my son through the same horrible experiences that I had,and for helping me get over them!Anyone with children knows that you can't make them do what they don't like for long.
Before lessons with Scott,it was a constant battle to make them practice.
Bribes.
Promises.
Nothing worked.
Then I thought,hmmm,maybe it's not the kids, but the teacher.
Understatement!!!!!
Scott is AMAZING!!!!!!
They actually practice now without being told......AND LOVE IT!!!
Thank you SOOOOOOO MUCH Scott for achieving what I thought was truly impossible!!!!!!!!!!
My grandchildren are so happy with their lessons.
Scott is very patient and makes them love to practice.
Thank you.I have been a lifelong musician,and thought that when my son came to me to teach him guitar,great!
No problem!
This will be easy!!!
This was not the case.
Plan B.
Scott came highly recommended by one of my son's friends.
Not only has my son learned so much from Scott,but I have learned as well.
I learned that just because someone is capable of doing something,he may not be capable of teaching someone else how to do it.
I tip my hat to a true Pro!
Scott,you're the best.
Our 3 children absolutely LOVE Mr. Scott!
He always keeps them interested,and finds a way to continually use the music that they love(and they all have different tastes in music)to teach them what they need to know to consistently progress.
5+++StarsMy son took piano lessons from a few teachers before giving up.
But when his friend told him about Scott,we thought we would give him a try.
I couldn't believe how a child who seemed to not have a knack for music came out of his first lesson with Scott actually playing a song that he loved,and smiling from ear to ear!
That was only a couple of years ago,and now he is an amazing player in his own right.
I have been nothing less than shocked and amazed since we met Scott!
Thank you so much!
We highly reccomend Scott!!!!!Our boys have been with Scott since they were in grade school.....and now they are about to be off to college!
He is the best!
Always inspiring,encouraging,patient and knowledgable.
You can't find a better teacher!I have been playing guitar for years and consider myself to be rather good,but I continually learn something new every week from Scott.......just from watching him!!!!!
He is amazing!Scott is great with our daughter.
She always looks forward to her lessons,and is learning so quickly!
Thank you so much Scott!Scott is very patient and a very talented teacher.
A true professional!
