About Jason Freed

Mature semi-professional player that really enjoys bringing new students along to discover the joy of creating music. I grew up in Michigan and was exposed to Motown and soul music which really impacts my current approach. Forget the shredding, find the note that really speaks to the listener and to you. I have studied jazz theory for years and can help with reading music and overall technique and WHY the note/chord choices sound the way they do. I usually focus on beginning students and trying to get them hooked on playing music...being that parent to two young girls, I know how to "pack my patience" and find the joy in the little moments of excitement and understanding with a new player.
