Hey my name is Martin! I love the guitar and have been messing around with it since I was 8. I am competent on acoustic, electric, ukulele, and bass; I am able to teach on whatever your student wants to learn. I think teaching breaks down into two pathways: theory and technique. Theory is the way music notation and knowledge relate to the chosen instrument. Technique is the way it is applied. We will split time between the topics accordingly as the goals of the student come into view. I have a great passion for music and see its ultimate goal as a way to bring others together. I teach my students to play with others and provide them with skills to better succeed in group environments. This is my favorite way to improve, as it teaches theory and puts it into practice immediately. Feel free to ask me questions if you see me. Feel free to get on my schedule. I’d love to have you!

Hey there! My name is Jonah. I am a drummer, guitar player, DJ and Producer from Chapel Hill, NC. I started on drums when I was 8 years old, then guitar at 15 and producing my own music at 16. I am a very detail-oriented musician, and I believe that focusing on the little things makes for a great player/artist. I place a large emphasis on technique and tone, with a more "by ear" approach to teaching, rather than a music theory base. I believe that if it sounds good, then it sounds good. Music is the most important thing in my life, and sharing it with others through teaching is one of the best ways that I can express that importance. With me, students will learn the fundamentals of rhythm and feel, as those are my strongest suits and best skills in music overall. I'll always do my absolute best to make my lessons as enjoyable as possible by playing and learning through the music that my students are most passionate about, and it's in my opinion that music should always be fun and never a chore, even when learning. I'll always do my best to help my students reach their goals in music and more importantly make meaningful steps forward in their journey. Thanks so much and I hope to see you on my schedule soon!
