My name is Joe and I have been a musician and teacher for over 50 years. I started with clarinet at age 9 then added guitar and sax at age 10. My music teacher would take myself, my brother and another friend around to various venues and I made my first check for $1 playing at a Knights of Columbus when I was 10 years old. I was hooked! I started playing with adults in various bands when I was 12 and loved it! Since then,I have had the opportunity to play overseas in Germany, Austria, Italy, Egypt and Israel. All over the United States with a "fronting band" for Barbara Mandrel, Ricky SSkaggs Minnie Pearl etc. I have played at various churches in Florida, Chicago and Tennessee. I was also Bill Beck's guitar player here in Florida. I would just like to encourage you, along with the thousands of students I've had over the years, that you CAN become a very fine musician and in a shorter time than you might think possible. Many people get the idea that it takes years to learn to play. I will challenge you with the notion that you can become very skilled in a matter of months! I would like to leave you with this thought: I was the worst student I ever had-meaning that when I first started I couldn't even keep my fingers in place on the instruments. I discovered that through dedication and determination I was able to overcome those initial stumbling blocks-and you can too! Looking forward to meeting you and watching your progress!

    by Taylor Robinson Music

    Winter Haven, FL

    Years of Experience: 5 Location Options: In Home Travel Radius: 21 Genres: Rock, Blues, Acoustic, Christian, Pop Age Groups: Young Adult Instruments Taught: Guitar Lessons Overview: Hi, my name is Matt and I am a guitar player from central Florida. I have been a student of music for 18 years. My musical influences include any music with sizzle and soul and I also enjoy Opera. My teaching style can best be described as a deep balance of the crucial fundamentals and FUN things you would like to learn technically/musically on Guitar. My teaching philosophy can best be described by saying that I want to find the balance between keeping your musical journey as FUN as possible, while simultaneously hammering the fundamental disciplines. In my lessons, you can expect to learn music theory. I like to tell my students practice makes better, nothing is perfect, hence the idea of the word "Journey"!. My favorite thing about teaching is the fulfillment of progress!!!. My favorite performance was all of them. My students love that I am the "sensei" of their Guitar journey!!. I primarily teach guitar theory fundamental techniques, but I can also teach you your favorite song that you would like to learn. My approach as a teacher is to inspire and discipline all students that I encounter. Thanks for taking a look at my profile. Hope to meet you soon!

    Orland Park, IL

    Years of Experience: 17 Location Options: In Home, In Webcam Travel Radius: 10 Genres: Rock, Blues, Jazz, Classical, Country, Acoustic, Christian Age Groups: Children, Young Adult, Adult Instruments Taught: Guitar Lessons,Bass Guitar Lessons,Song Writing Lessons Overview: I have been teaching music since 2000. I teach most styles except intermediate classical and flamenco guitar. I have been teaching bass for the same amount of time and ukulele for about 5 years. I also have many years teaching theory, aural skills, music history, writing and improvisation. I believe teaching is a way for me to share my own love of continuous learning with my students, and maybe even pass on that thirst for knowledge. Many musicians often consider themselves lifelong students, so it is incumbent on educators to reward the “learning attitude” in their students. My hope is that students recognize the merit and eventually gain pleasure in the process of learning, and not just the accomplishments at the end. -Education- -Awards-

    by Taylor Robinson Music

    Dallas, TX

    Years of Experience: 17 Location Options: In Studio, In Webcam Travel Radius: 30 Genres: Rock, Blues, Jazz, Classical, Country, Acoustic, RB, Pop Age Groups: Children, Young Adult, Adult, Under 6 Years Instruments Taught: Guitar Lessons,Bass Guitar Lessons,Song Writing Lessons,Record Engineer Produce Overview: I was born in 1981 in Dallas, TX as the fifth generation of a family of artists and musicians. I grew up in a household environment that had paintings and instruments everywhere; but it wasn’t until I turned 11 that I was inspired to pick up the electric guitar and learn the alternative rock riffs and sounds of the day. I started playing a nylon string guitar for a music class at school since I had no desire to play recorder, and met my first jamming buddy and we formed our first band. All this time I was absorbing the sounds of the nylon string guitar through the music of Ottmar Liebert, Gypsy Kings, Segovia and Sabicas that my parents listened to, so I decided to undertake the task of teaching myself sight reading and classical guitar technique. I was accepted to Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts as a music cluster student. Once I was there I attended workshops w/ concert artists, played solo recitals, as well as with various ensembles, and even formed a jazz-fusion-rock band with my peers. Following years of jazz studies and private classical lessons, I received a full scholarship to attend SMU as a classical guitar performance major with Robert Guthrie, the master student of the Romeros and Segovia. I completed my studies and earned my BFA at SMU in 2005. I began to pursue a professional career as an artist collaborating on several recording projects for soundtracks and albums, solo gigs, in addition to, performing locally as a member of several Swing, Jazz, and Rock bands. I have performed at local festivals such as ArtFest, The Swiss Avenue Historic District Home Tour, and at many other local events and venues. In 2008, I realized one of my greatest passions is to instruct the guitar and pass the knowledge of its sublime musical language, proper technique and posture to future generations. My students have competed in UIL competitions and have been accepted to the music cluster of Booker T. Washington, University of North Texas, and most recently the Master’s Program of Berklee School of Music in Valencia, Spain. Formal Education: High School: Booker T. Washington School for the Visual and Performing Arts Music Cluster ; Bachelors of Fine Arts : Souther Methodist University, 2005 Private Education: Electric and Rock Guitar Studies w/ Brad Maclemore 1, Jazz and Theory Studies w/ Chuck Pangburn and Kent Ellingson 1, Classical Guitar Studies w/ Robert Guthrie 1. Performing Experience: I have performed in solo recitals, solo performances, at weddings, with guitar ensembles, rock bands and jazz bands. Bands I've played at such events as Dallas Artfest, and with bands including the Three Quarters Fast Dixieland Band, the Southland Swing Band, Lynch Perry w/ drummer David Lynch, the Monoliths of Phobos, Constellation Flight, SpaceKraft and many more. Experience Teaching: I have taught private solo and group guitar classes for more than a decade. I've worked for various studios and coordinated many student recitals, but I've been teaching only one-on-one Skype lessons for the past 3 years. My teaching specialties include: Youth Education, Sight Reading, Music Theory, Solfeggio, Classical/Flamenco/Jazz Technique, Right Hand Technique and Fingerpicking, Chord Melody, Interpretation, Lead Rhythm Electric Guitar, Travis Picking, Open Tunings, DADGAD and alternate tunings, Celtic music, Ambient Guitar, Pat Martino's Sacred Geometry of the Guitar/Nature of Guitar/Linear Expressions, and Contemporary Guitar and Recording Technology, Recording, Editing, Mixing and Mastering and Effects. -Education- Degree: Bachelor's of Fine Arts School: SMU Dates: 1999-09 -Reviews- Name: Tejaswi Gorti Date: 2016-09-12 22:33:53 Title: Most Inspirational Guitar Teacher!!! Body: I took classical and flamenco guitar lessons from Perry from 2012 to 2016. These four years of my life have been nothing short of a mind-blowing experience. Perry introduced me so many different types of music, expanded my knowledge, understanding and intuition of the guitar. I noticed my musicianship exponentially improve thanks to his guidance. He had been an incredibly patient and perceptive teacher during my years of learning. Last but certainly not least, Perry has been a source of deep musical inspiration for me. It was under his tutelage, that I became energized to pursue my passion for music by enrolling in the Berklee College of Music Master's degree program, as a music producer. Name: Kim Kelly Date: 2016-09-13 14:09:56 Title: Perry N Body: Thank you for reaching out about Perry. He has been teaching my daughter to play guitar since 1/5/13, and he has been working with me since November. My daughter is now 10 and was 7 when she started. She has built tremendous strength and aptitude for sight reading, keeping a steady rhythm and developing musicality and emotion into her playing over time. Perry's style is extremely professional. He is incredibly reliable and punctual. He provides Myra with different styles to influence her range of options. He has brought music and suggested progressive learning books to choose from. He challenges Myra while not frustrating her, and they gradually increased her lesson time from 30 to 60 minutes as she built the aptitude to play for longer periods of time. Perry does a great job of mixing scales with chords with picking, and provides a range of ways to achieve the same sounds with minimal stress to her body structure. In addition, Perry takes the time to teach theory and history so that she has a well rounded perspective of the art. There are days when she is not at the top of her game, and Perry recognizes this- on those days he tries to have fun and just allow her to jam. I love listening to the two of them together. They have built a solid relationship around their mutual love of music and the guitar. We've had the fortune to see Perry play at one of his local gigs, and his talent and professionalism always continue to impress me. I fully recommend Perry for this job and hope that his is considered as a strong candidate. Kim Kelly Name: Nic Fatemi Date: 2016-09-20 05:10:27 Title: Perry - classical and flamenco Review Body: I've been working with perry for more than a year and half. He is musically very talented and has a great foundation of musical knowledge that is difficult to come across these days. He is very flexible and patient with any musical level. Simply put, he works with you and where get to on the guitar. I have studied flamenco and classical guitar underneath him. He also teaches other types of styles ( electric rock, chords, jazz and etc...) He has been playing guitar since a very young age and has studied under other great guitarists(academically). He shares all of his knowledge with his students that was taught to him plus more!! I have played violin for 14 years into university. I was looking to learn guitar and Perry was recommended to by a co-worker. I can recognize he is a quality teacher with passion for music a mile away. Lastly, he is a honest individual and carries himself professionally. I highly recommend him!

Having performed, rehearsed, and worked alongside him, I've seen the effort he puts into music firsthand. It's very hard to find an individual who attends classes, works a job, and still manages to fit 4-6 hours of practice in a day. His passion for music is unparalleled. Cristian has so many unique subjects in his repertoire to pass on. Any student who finds themselves in a lesson with Cristian will learn something new.
