READING MUSIC TIP:


WHAT SOME OF MY STUDENTS ARE SAYING:

"Thanks to Cam, my son went from a 7 year old beginner to an artist with two original records out in the span of a decade.  He is a fantastic teacher and mentor.  Look no further if you are hoping to see your child's creativity flourish!"        - Noel M. (father)  |Los Angeles|

​"Cameron is simply a great teacher. You don’t find many people who are fully classically trained, a bona fide rock star, nice, enthusiastic, patient, flexible, and inspirational!  I went from a very basic level to being able to play London’s Calling by the Clash and several other songs with a non-trivial part in a few months. With his help once a week I went on to play Is She Really Going Out With Him (Joe Jackson), Hey Joe (Hendrix) and many others, as well as having the confidence to play public blues jams with people I’d never played with before. I couldn’t recommend Cameron more highly – grab him while you can."    - Martin, 52  |London|

"Cameron is an awesome teacher!  He has made every lesson fun and engaging and has tailored them around my personal musical goals and tastes.  He transcribes music that I choose to work with rather than using material that doesn't inspire me, and I really feel that he genuinely cares about my musical growth and development.  He's warm and encouraging, I look forward to each lesson and always come away feeling that I've made progress.  Can't recommend him enough!"    - Cariad, 32  |New York|
