I'm a composer, performer and teacher, written up in Pitchfork, The Village Voice, Guitar Player, and NYTimes, who makes it fun for beginners and fully develops the advanced. I teach all styles and desires, from songwriters who are interested in developing their creativity/improv skills, to those who'd love to play their favorite songs. I teach electric and bass guitar, midi and computer recording, fingerpicking, songwriting, noise, improvisation, rocking out, psychedelic sonic landscapes, blues, funky stuff, alternative tuning, various jazz-avant theories, guilty pop pleasures and ???...

I love teaching students who are passionate about honing their musical skills. My goal is to pass along all my years of training and studying music and making it a fun and easy process. Ive performed in venues all over New york City from Arlenes Grocery to the Morgan Library,Frick Collection, and Carnegie Hall. I hold a masters degree in musical erformance from The Mannes College of Music at The New School.

My name is Anthony Robustelli and I have been a professional musician, songwriter, and producer for over thirty years. I believe that every student has different goals and my approach takes this into account by tailoring each lesson to the unique interests of each student. I'm passionate about new technology in the studio and on the stage and I incorporate these innovations in performance and production lessons creating a more dynamic and accessible experience. I aim to not only help my students develop as skilled musicians, but to inspire a lifelong passion for music.

The main objective of the Private Customized Lessons, at all levels, is to have fun in a relaxed atmosphere which will encourage the student to realize his / her Full Potential. My Teaching Method is simple - through your instrument of choice, you will learn how music is constructed and applied. Along with this, various Techniques will be learnt that are able to be utilized in any style. You will build skills in Improvising, Rhythm, Melody, Dexterity and more, which will give you freedom to create and / or play anything. Basically, learn and understand all the rules then feel free to break them. Songwriters are welcome to come and thrash out...
