I tailor my lessons to every students specific goals. I understand that not every student is looking to become a virtuoso, and so I may focus the lessons for those students more towards the specific goals of the student, with some relevant music theory sprinkled in if it seems appropriate. On the flip side, I will throw everything a student can handle at them, if they intend kn going as far as possible with their lessons, but I'll do it in a way that is manageable, and most of all, fun. Regardless of a student's particular goals, I always make it a point to ask for favorite songs and artists, and build a specific lesson plan with that info

I have been a professional musician for many years. I have played in several styles and I have traveled throughout the USA as well as Spain, Italy, Turkey and Puerto Rico. From my vast experience, I feel that I have alot to share with my students. I find it very rewarding when I see my students' progress. Teaching is always a learning experience for the teacher, as well.

Bill D. says, "He works with you from what ever level you play at and shows you what you need to do to overcome your next hurdle in the evolution of your playing skill set. When I started I thought I’d never play an open C chord. Now I play around 200 songs. What ever particular issue I might have on a new song I’m trying out, he breaks it down to individual chord progressions then puts them together to smooth out any bumps in the playing you’ll find. I highly recommend Vinny to anyone at any skill level." Read more

Andrew L. says, "Will taught my two boys (9 & 7) with a perfect combination of patience and proper technique. They were both complete beginners a few months ago, and now they read music, play with both hands and put on little shows for the whole family. They love their lessons with “Mr. Will” and I think they’ll be playing piano for years to come. Can’t recommend him enough!" Read more

What's up! My name is Giorgio Latino. I have worked with bands on Long Island, and I have brought my career to the city. I specialize in guitar, but am proficient in all instruments. I love working with kids; I am an Eagle Scout and have led groups of scouts for years. I have also been teaching lessons for over 4 years. It is great to get to know new young musical minds. I have a busy schedule, but I try to be as flexible as possible. My mission is to make the guitar interesting and approachable for all ages. I will teach your child how to identify different instruments in song and replicate the chords and rhythm on guitar. I can commute to a

He's a great teacher: encouraging, but also knows when and how to critique and not discourage a beginner. Makes sure it is challenging, but not overwhelming. Encyclopedic knowledge of jazz and music theory. Definitely recommend!

David is an amazing teacher! I've been working with him since 2019, first on electric bass, then music theory/composition/Logic and electric guitar. We've done in person and online classes, both of which have been great. He's incredibly knowledgable and patient. Anyone would be lucky to learn from him.

Jimi is a great guy. Has me laughing and learning at the same time. I must say I've only been going for about a month and so far he's taught me more than I've ever expected. I played some guitar as a teen and after dropping off for 40-50 years he has me all excited about learning again. I've only been going for about a month but I plan on continuing forever. Give me a year or so and Ill update the review but right now I have to practice. LOL

Will has all the attributes of a great teacher. He is knowledgeable, patient and passionate about music. I look forward to the lessons. I always feel like I’m getting better. I take guitar lessons, but Will plays about 6 instruments in total and I think his musical acumen brings and added intangible to the lessons.

Joe is a full blown musician , piano player guitar player singer composer . After many years not of playing guitar as i once did in my youth and wanting to pick it back up again as a senior , and this time actually learning to read and understand music and how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together and why , you’ll not find a better teacher to guide you than Joe. I highly recommend Joe and thankful for finding him via this site.

I have been a student of Peter's for a total of seven years spread over twenty-five years, first of the classical guitar and latterly of the baroque lute. I can recommend Peter unreservedly as an exceptional teacher with a rare breadth of experience of the guitar in all its genres combined with an equally rare equivalent breadth of musicianship and scholarship. Peter has many talents as a teacher of which for me the most important is that he wants you to succeed. From that grows confidence and ambition. He then backs that up with an acute ability to identify and analyse technical problems and how to deal with them. Peter's teaching practice, therefore moves on a broad front where the inevitable technical challenges involved in playing the guitar are combined with musical insight and encouragement into what is to be gained by overcoming them. This combination of technical analysis with musical sensibility I found inspiring and it propelled me to levels in guitar playing, which I would never have dared to attempt otherwise. For any guitarist at any level, the benefits of a good teacher are tremendous; it is all too easy, as I know myself, to reach a plateau where you can kind of play lots of things but nothing really well. Either that or lacking guidance, fall into bad habits which practice simply reinforces and which are then very difficult to correct. Or, the classic, sometimes you can play a piece well but other times not and each time you start the piece you have no idea whether it will be one or the other or why it is that you have no real control of the performance. Peter has the ability to sort these kinds of problems out and he sorts them out creatively and constructively in a way which always seeks to find the good in what you're doing by turning what were stumbling blocks into positive additions to your experience as a player. My experience of taking lessons with Peter was of a shrewd investment which fundamentally improved my playing. That was my experience and I think it highly likely that it will be yours as well. Real talent as a teacher is something not given to everyone but it has been given to Peter. For any player therefore wishing to benefit from the many advantages that good teaching can bring to them I would have no hesitation in beating a path to his door.
