Guitar & Bass Instructor, Band Coach: Rock, Blues, Jazz, Funk, Pop, R&B
My name is Max. I’ve been playing guitar and bass for over 19 years, with a strong background in rock, prog, blues, jazz, funk, pop, and r&b. I am a passionate music educator dedicated to guiding students on their musical journeys. I specialize in guitar, bass, as well as piano and ukulele, creating an environment where creativity and curiosity thrive.
I was introduced to music from a very young age, and was playing guitar and taking lessons from the age of 7. I spent my high school years taking every music class/extra-curricular that I could. I attended Humber College and graduated with a bachelors of contemporary music performance in 2021. In addition to teaching, I am an active professional performer, regularly participating in a variety of gigs, from small stages in bars, to corporate events, to main stages. I find tremendous fulfillment in being able to support myself full time through music.
When I was first learning guitar, my lessons always centred around what I was into. I remember showing up in one of my earliest lessons and saying “I want to learn Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin”. Needless to say, I got there… eventually. One of the most fulfilling moments of teaching for me is witnessing the “aha” moments when students grasp a challenging concept or master a new skill. I believe that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. I make it my goal to teach that more than anything. As such, I use a personalized approach to teaching, adapting lessons to fit each student’s unique interests and abilities. Whether working with beginners or more advanced players, I always emphasize the importance of technique, expression, and enjoyment in music-making.
