Songwriting is the center of my musical universe.
I've been playing music since I was four years old, and teaching music lessons on a variety of instruments, pursuits and styles for at least 25 years. And I'm still a big believer in the fundamentals—discipline, technique, practicing, music theory . . . no matter what kind of musician you want to be, it isn't fun if you can't play. But songwriting is the center of my musical universe. It holds it all together for me—constantly giving me the focus, meaning, and purpose I need to return to the well over and over again. There's only one feeling in the world better than finishing a song, and that's starting the next one.

Find, develop, and control your unique musical voice.
The relationship between a teacher and a student is one that requires trust. My "M.O." as an educator is to develop that trust with my students and embark on an individualized path that's educational for both of us. And while each path is personal, they all lead to the same destination—discovering one's own musical voice. Through tone, articulation, perspective, and energy, you will achieve and express your individual voice. But total CONTROL of that voice is how you achieve validation and versatility in music. Together, we will use multiple approaches, perspectives, and techniques to find and control your voice. Regardless of your instrument, prior knowledge, or current skill level, we can transcend the barrier between idea and execution.

Ed Croft is one of WNY’s hardest working freelance musicians. Equally at home in styles ranging from bebop jazz to honky tonk country, Croft always strives to serve the song through his playing. It is this quality that he instills in students—teaching them to be musicians, and not merely people who play instruments. Students will learn the skills to make them a gig-ready team player!

Learn music with a pro guitarist (Mass Extinction Event, Sons of Apollo, Tony MacAlpine, Arch Echo, Aquiles Priester) and audio engineer (Rob Araujo, Joe Ferry, Corey Glover).
Grow your skills under the guidance of an accredited industry professional.
From total beginners to seasoned pros looking to up their game, I work to tailor our lessons together to your specific needs for growth, whether it's on your instrument or in your recordings. I have taught children as young as five how to sight read music on the guitar, and guided adults well into their careers to diagnose and correct specific issues that are holding them back from taking the next steps as a guitarist or audio engineer. For parents, I excel at connecting with your young children as students and making learning the guitar fun and engaging. For older students and adults, my experiences and credits in the industry have given me the knowledge and skills to tailor lessons to you and help you reach your goals.

“Life is not about finding our limitations, it’s about finding infinity.” —Herbie Hancock
My teaching philosophy has three components:
- Teaching you what YOU want to learn
- Helping you draw connections between your personality and music
- Showing you the various paths that you can take as a musician
Whether it’s “Smoke on the Water” or “Giant Steps,” I’m ready to take you anywhere you want to go musically. I have experience teaching in almost all styles and genres, as well as all forms of notation and TABlature. Anything that doesn’t have a searchable transcription, we can always learn by ear together. I create shareable online documents for each of my students, recording your progress and your achievements, as well as audio or video recordings that will help you reach your goals (so you’ll never forget anything we worked on). I also encourage all of my students to reach out to me at any time for any questions or concerns they have, no matter how small it may be! I’m here for YOU, and the sky's the limit!
