Josh Weinberg

Teaching Philosophy
First and foremost, I strive to cultivate passion within those I work with. By balancing focus between a study of the music and great musicians of the past, fundamental techniques/concepts and basic patterns, along with being able to play/create the music individuals enjoy listening to, my primary goal is to open people up to an immense love and appreciation of music. And from there, technical mastery can ensue.Education
