I am so glad our paths have crossed.
To pluck strings, to sing a song, to move our bodies is as instinctual as breathing but many of us have Forgotten, were Discouraged, or Believe that they need to possess a Talent to access the ability to make music.
(IF YOU BELIEVE THAT LAST PART, LEAVE NOW,
I AM NOT YOUR TEACHER).
I HAVE BEEN TEACHING MUSIC PROFESSIONALLY TO THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS FOR 27 YEARS AND I HAVE YET TO MEET SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT POSSESS THE INHERENT ABILITY TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES THROUGH MUSIC.
REGARDLESS OF AGE, ETHNICITY, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER, PLAYING ABILITY, PHYSICAL, OR LEARNING CHALLENGES, I HELP YOU DISCOVER THE JOY OF MAKING MUSIC.
EVERY STUDENT IS TRULY UNIQUE, HOWEVER MUSIC IS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE AND I AM A TRANSLATOR. I UNLOCK THE MYSTERIES OF MUSIC AND DECODE THEM SO THEY ARE EASY TO UNDERSTAND FROM YOUR POINT OF VIEW.
WILL YOU JOIN ME, FELLOW TRAVELER, AND WALK THE PATH TOGETHER?
“Josh's mentorship and inspiration over the years has been invaluable in my development
as a musician and a human. He allowed me to discover things on my own, but also to teach
certain musical tools which I use to this day in my own practices, composing, and teaching.
Josh is the reason I know how to read music at all, and also the reason I discovered the music of
Frank Zappa, which inevitably sent me down the Jazz rabbit hole for which I am endlessly thankful.
If you're looking for a Zen, metal, freak-jazz guru, Mr. Hall is your cat."
