Music Lessons with Drew Azzinaro

Learn music with an award-winning pro guitarist (Far Trio), composer, music educator (Planet Music School), and bassist.

Since 2005, Drew has been helping his students develop their skills and achieve their musical goals, whether that goal is to just have more music in their life, get into a conservatory, or be a professional guitarist. He teaches improvisation, classical guitar, jazz theory, and fretboard harmony across a diverse set of styles, from jazz and classical to tango and Bossa nova, plus blues, funk, and rock. Drew’s teachings come from studying with the greatest minds in classical guitar, jazz theory, and guitar, as well as his vast playing experiences touring the northeast while opening for distinguished artists like Greg Allman, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Debbie Davies, T-Pain, and Devon Allman.

Fred Brown - Music Lessons - Buffalo Music Club

Music Lessons with Fred Brown

Learn music with a pro audio production engineer, multi-instrumentalist (Asthmatic Kitty Records), composer, and founder & owner of Lowly Mountain Banjos.

Learn to think musically. Music is what happens when we turn the deepest part of us into sound and organize it to communicate to others. To make music, we must understand that the sound is downstream from what is inside us, as well as know what we are trying to communicate. One-on-one composition lessons with me will focus on electroacoustic practices and include traditional and non-traditional notation and instrumentation, sound recording and manipulation, instrument invention and construction, and developing a personal music philosophy. Prospective students will benefit from already having a knowledge of western music theory and practices, but it is not a prerequisite. Banjo lessons will focus solely on oldtime playing styles and the associated tunes and the traditions, and learning how to develop a unique style within this context. Whether composition or performance, I believe music making is best learned as a two-way exchange of ideas toward a holistic musical understanding.

My Favorite Things to Teach

  • Instruments: Banjo (Oldtime)
  • Pursuits: Composition & Arranging, Live Sound, Music Life Mentoring, Recording & Audio Production
  • Styles: Folk, Traditional
