Vincent D.

I've spent 25 years teaching predominantly guitar and bass, but I've also taught beginner drums and piano as well as instructed students in songwriting and recording production. I've performed and travelled with nationally awarded jazz bands and have also recorded my own blues, rock and metal recordings that were featured on radio in 7 countries across 10 years on Mark Kerr's Blues Nation show. I also spent years forming small bands with students and training them in rehearsal, improvisation, composition, recording and performance. Teaching music has been my greatest passion in life and it led me to completing a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology at the University of Central Florida where I did research studies on the effects playing an instrument has on mood and behavior as well as wrote my own original guitar method book. I also have built dozens of custom guitars and basses for students over the years so I also offer building custom instruments as well as customization and maintenance such as setups, repairs, pickup replacement, hardware upgrades and electronics work.
