Tyler Arnott's Guitar Lessons

I am a very passionate music teacher, it's really who I am. I thrive off of opening the doors of music for people new to guitar/bass and teaching them a foundation upon which to grow. I graduated from UMASS Lowell with a Bachelors in Music Performance in 2014 and have 6 years of teaching experience in and around the Boston area. I play and manage a band called Skyfoot and have for about 3 years now. I have played in 35 different states, playing with all kinds of musicians across the United States. The times I spent playing and learning from the musicians at school and on the road have been some of the most insightful of my life.

I have been playing music for 15 years and have over 6 years of experience teaching in my home studio and at students homes. I started teaching right before entering college in and around the Boston area. In addition to guitar and bass, I also am experienced in drums, piano and voice. I was self taught until I started taking lessons at around age 16. At 19 I began studying with my teacher at UMASS and gained a wealth of musical knowledge. I encompass his lesson plan into my own as much as possible because it was his teachings that got me to where I am today.

I find with my students that a healthy balance of practicing fundamentals and practicing pieces of music that they are very passionate about produces a great deal of inspiration and fuels their creative process. I encourage my students to enter competitions and recitals, as well as compose their own material. I also find that seeing my students start to write their own material really gives them confidence in their own abilities! I make sure my lessons plans are fun and interactive, because playing music should be!
