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!

"Hey Coach Edenson how’s everything going? I just wanted to just thank you for being really good with not just my son but all the other parents children as well. Not only that in just the short time I’ve sent my son to you he’s improved immensely in all aspects of the sport itself. I would most definitely recommend you to other friends, coworkers, or any other companions seeking private training sessions.

Tennis has been part of my life for 11 years, and coaching is the part I've enjoyed most. My job is to make progress feel obvious. Lessons stay structured and focused, and you'll walk off the court knowing exactly what improved and what we're working on next. Every lesson is built around the person in front of me. Some players want technique broken down piece by piece. Others want to be pushed and play points right away. I'll ask what you're after, and we'll build from there. Not sure if we'd be a good fit? Send me a message. I'm always glad to talk it through before you book. See you on the court!
"Ali is very perceptive and gives you individualized feedback with every single stroke that you hit. He can decipher exactly what you need to do to improve your game with every stroke.

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!

"Brandon was very focused during the workout and ensured that I understood everything that he was trying to teach me. He has the skill level to back up his teaching so it was easy to gravitate towards what he was demonstrating. He was nice and made that experience very comforting for a player like me who is new to the game.
