Music has always been a part of Vince’s life. At the age of 5, he began taking piano lessons. At 8, he was scribbling song lyrics during lunch. By 12, he was teaching himself how to play guitar. While enrolled at H-F High School, Vince played electric guitar in numerous bands, honing his skills on his preferred instrument, electric guitar. It was around this time that he was introduced to audio technology via his chosen specialization, Broadcasting. In this program, students learned how to record, edit, and broadcast audio. At 15, he and his band cut a studio EP, giving him his first glimpse of music production. By 18, Vince began bridging his knowledge of music and audio technology using Apple’s Garageband and Logic Pro. While earning his degree from the University of Florida, Vince co-wrote and produced two studio albums. Since the age of 23, he has dedicated his time to spreading his knowledge of music and audio technology to his students. Now, at 25, Vince has joined the team here at Sam Ash to spread that knowledge to you!

Frequently Asked Questions
Each instructor customizes lessons to ensure you are learning what you like and having fun. Your instructor will start you slowly, introducing new concepts each week, plus give you exercises or easy songs to play to keep you learning at home.
Learning an instrument is an enriching and rewarding experience that creates lifelong benefits, including increased self-esteem and the boosting of memory. Additionally, benefits for school-age individuals can include improved coordination, the expanding of social skills, and higher scores in math, reading and language.
30-minute lessons allow young or beginner students to learn the basics of the instrument and start playing songs. 60-minute lessons are ideal for more advanced students looking to progress faster and focus on the finer points of technique.
This varies by age and the type of goals the student has set out to achieve. However, most new students usually spend 15–30 min. practicing daily, while advanced students can practice for an hour or more each day in between lessons.
Our flexible curriculum allows students of all skill levels to experience growth. We help create a foundational understanding of music theory through the style of music you want to play. Our instructors will work to understand your goals and passions, and make sure you are on the path to learning what you want at your own speed.
Our Lessons staff will work with you to determine your current skill level, stylistic interest and ambitions. We'll then help you choose an instructor who best suits your style and goals. If at any point, you'd like to change instructors, let us know. Our weekly monitoring of progress and wide-ranging curriculum means you can switch to any of our qualified instructors, or another instrument, without missing a beat.
