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.

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

Hello! I’m Seth. I love playing and teaching others golf. I have 16 years of golfing experience starting with high school competitive play and lessons with several coaches. Anything golf related you want to know, I should have the answer. I focus on swing fundamentals, theory, and game management. For absolute beginners, the goal is to never miss the ball. For the more intermediate players, the goal is to develop a consistent repeatable shot pattern. For advanced players, the goal is to be able to shape the ball on command and control ball flight.

"Seth was amazing! I can’t believe how much my confidence came back after just one lesson. I was hitting the ball straight and actually felt like I knew what I was doing. His instruction was clear, concise, and exactly what I was hoping for. He’s an incredible coach.
