Imagine getting to play the part of music that makes people dance. With 18 years of experience, I provide personalized guidance, helping you master techniques and unleash your musicality. Let's groove! I have been performing as a bassist for over 18 years, and teaching for over ten years. As an instructor, I meet students where they are and tailor my teaching approach accordingly. Lessons are collaborative; I want to get to know each student and your individual goals and learning style in order to create an open and comfortable learning environment. My extensive musical background allows you to choose music YOU like to play, and through each song we will work on specific technical, harmonic, and rhythmic concepts. I use my experience as an active working musician to inform the lessons and ground everything you learn in real-world application. About me: I toured the US and internationally with Future Teens, an indie rock band with over three LPs on our resume. Future Teens has been featured on NPR, The Boston Globe, and WBUR, and was Boston Music Awards’ 2019 Alt/Indie Artist of the Year. I studied bass performance at Berklee College of Music, where I earned the Bass Department Outstanding Performer Award and Scholarship. I have a BA in English and French from Skidmore College (‘13). I have worked with students between the ages of six and sixty and welcome students of all ages.

"Maya was a patient, kind and supportive guitar teacher. My daughter looked forward to her lessons each week, and left feeling confident. Maya was always open to Annabelle's ideas (hello, Taylor Swift!) and encouraged her to try new things. She is an accomplished musician and we were very sorry to see her go!

"Coach Arthur has taken Luis from a novice to a confident and successful baseball player. My son has only been playing baseball a few years and Coach Arthur has taught him the game from the beginning. He continues to mentor him and help him develop his skills. Luis has now tried out for his high school baseball team and has made the Varsity team as a freshman. We are lucky to have found such a dedicated and attentive coach.

Passionate about instilling a love for basketball in every student. Basketball has always been my favorite sport to play and watch.

I want my players to have fun while creating and improving on their skills. Let's work together to improve your basketball skills and take your game to the next.

"Eric is a fantastic coach, highly recommend!!!

In keeping with the philosophy of Bobby Jones, the first person to capture all of golf’s major championships as an amateur, I believe that dedication and proper technique are essential for success in any endeavor. When you start playing competitivley you find that simply participating is not enough; one must strive to master the fundamentals and execute them correctly to fully appreciate and excel at the game of golf & life. Over the years I have dedicated tens of thousands of hours to the practice and implementation of the mechanics in the golf swing. This has granted me unique insights into the mental and technical aspects of playing well. I encourage a mindset of commitment and continuous improvement for myself and my students alike, regardless of one’s skill level.

"My kids went 0 to 100 and had a total blast while doing so. Highly recommend!

I’m an SCTA, USTA, and ITF junior player with over 30 years of experience in the sport. I’ve had the honor of becoming a national champion, which has fueled my passion for tennis even more. Throughout my journey, I’ve gained valuable insights that I love sharing with others, whether through coaching or mentoring young players. Tennis has shaped my life, and I’m excited to continue contributing to the sport I adore.

"My 12 year old daughter is a competitive tennis player and has been coaching with Arron for almost a year. In that time, her game has improved tremendously. Arron is at home on the court and his passion for the game is infectious and inspirational. He incorporates technique, strategy and conditioning in his lessons, and he makes it fun. I can’t recommend him enough.

With two decades of competitive tennis under my belt, I've spent the last 10 years imparting the essentials of the game to enthusiasts in our local community. My teaching methods have been greatly influenced by my 30-year tenure as a martial arts instructor, bringing a unique perspective to my tennis coaching. This combined experience has honed my ability to convey techniques effectively, ensuring that students not only learn the basics but also appreciate the discipline and dedication behind every stroke.

"Ed's lesson was quite good overall, especially since his advice was really helpful and to the point, which I appreciated. His helpfulness stood out, though I’d like to see some focus on improving forehand control next time. Still, I’ll probably try Ed again because his straightforward guidance feels quite practical.
