Kevin Karagozian

As an educator, I take what I like to call a student centered "music first" approach. I enjoy teaching how to hear and interpret music as a musician so that even when an instructor is not present, you can learn the music you want to play. This involves learning the mechanics of the instrument, as well as a mixture of ear training, and music theory. My main goal is to teach you how to fish and not just give you the fish. I play and teach guitar proficiently but bass (upright and electric) is my main instrument.
